All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1561 - Chapter 1570

All three men were brilliant in their own fields. More importantly, what they had with her was clean, new, and untouched by the past.But Felix had disappointed her before. He had hurt her before.The only reason he had been able to rebuild any kind of relationship with her was because of the bond they shared through Mia.Without Mia, things might be different.Felix lowered his gaze. The side of his wineglass reflected the rare trace of insecurity in his eyes.His wealth, his status, and his abilities all seemed to lose their weight in front of her.Because Miranda was already dazzling enough on her own.She was independent enough.She did not need to rely on anyone.Miranda had just finished thinking through a few work matters when she looked up and saw Felix holding his wineglass, staring at her.But his gaze seemed distant, as if he were looking through her at something else entirely.“What’s wrong?” Miranda asked. “Is the food not to your taste?”Felix came back to him

“I want the same chance James, Mike, and Leo have,” Felix said. His breathing was slightly uneven, and his gaze stayed locked on hers. “Whatever right they have to pursue you, I hope you’ll give me that right too.”He had lowered himself completely.His tone carried an almost humble plea, yet his gaze held hers with such force that she had nowhere to hide.It wasn’t that Miranda hadn’t noticed his feelings lately.She had.But the old wounds were still there, and after three years of living divorced and independent, she had grown used to being on her own.Stepping into a relationship again required courage.“Are you drunk?” Miranda asked, trying to make him come back to his senses.He had drunk most of the bottle of wine just now, and that was on top of what he had drunk at lunch. Miranda couldn’t be sure he was completely sober.“No. I’m perfectly sober.”Felix shook his head, his eyes even more serious than before.“I only need you to nod. Let me back into your world, Mira

“Let go,” Miranda said softly.Felix released her hand right away and only took the glass from her. He drank the water slowly.After finishing it, he still looked visibly uncomfortable. His voice was a little hoarse and tired.“Can I lie down here for a while?”“Go ahead,” Miranda said.There was a thin sheen of cold sweat at his temples and between his brows. It didn’t look like he was pretending.Miranda went to the closet in the bedroom and found a blanket for him.Felix lay back on the couch with a throw pillow under his head and closed his eyes.Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.Keith had personally brought the antacids over.He asked with concern, “Is Mr. Gibson all right?”Miranda nodded.“He’s okay.”After closing the door, Miranda poured another glass of warm water and took two pills out of the package.“Take these before you sleep.”Felix slowly opened his eyes.He sat up against the couch, took the pills from Miranda, and swallowed them with the water she

Seeing that Wesley was willing to listen, Melanie continued, “Think about Susan. What does she care about most? The Gibson family line, of course. The company’s future heir. No matter how much she loves her granddaughter, a granddaughter is still a girl. In families like theirs, who wouldn’t want a grandson?”Wesley had two sons himself. That had always been his confidence and his backing.As a man, he understood better than anyone how much a man could want a son.“Go on,” he said.Melanie smiled.“What is Miranda now? She’s a famous scientist, a shareholder of Gibson Corporation, young, successful, and highly respected. She spends every day buried in the lab. How much attention do you think a woman like that has left for family? Do you really think she’d be willing to have another child for Felix and put her career on hold?”Wesley’s eyes lit up.Why hadn’t he thought of that?If Felix remarried, it would naturally be because he wanted another child, preferably a son. But what

That afternoon, the HR manager personally interviewed the candidate Wesley had recommended.The young woman sitting across from him was named Yara White. She was twenty-four years old, with a master’s degree in finance from a top university overseas. She was beautiful, sweet-looking, and qualified in every area they required.Before the interview, the HR manager had received a call from Wesley, so he understood what Wesley was trying to do.As it happened, the executive office needed an assistant to handle meeting minutes and daily document organization. The work itself was fairly basic, but the position had broad exposure.It wouldn’t look too deliberate, but it would still give her a legitimate reason to enter the core office area and come into contact with senior management.Clearly, Wesley had thought this through carefully before making the arrangement.After all, ever since Felix took over, he had strictly warned all senior executives not to abuse their authority for person
