Todos los capítulos de Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Capítulo 1601 - Capítulo 1610

Those two words were simple, but any adult would understand what they could imply, especially two people who had once been married.Ever since Mia was born, “You awake?” had become something they often texted each other at night.Sometimes Miranda was the one who asked.Sometimes Felix was.Just then, another message came through silently. It was Felix, adding another line.“I didn’t mean it like that. I was just asking. Don’t get the wrong idea.”Miranda’s finger hovered over the screen for a few seconds before she finally replied.“Still awake.”His reply came almost instantly.“Come over for a bit?”Miranda frowned and sent him a question mark.“?”“My living room,” he replied directly.Then another message came in.“Have a drink with me. We can talk about tomorrow’s partnership with DE.”Miranda saw through him at once.She was not eighteen anymore.She was twenty-eight.He couldn’t fool her with that kind of excuse.“A drink is fine. Work can wait. I don’t want

Felix reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her firmly.Miranda’s body stiffened slightly against him.Above her, his voice came low and certain.“Even if we hadn’t met that summer, I think I still would have fallen in love with you.”Miranda looked up in shock and met his eyes. In them, she saw a seriousness he made no attempt to hide, along with an almost stubborn certainty.“Why are you so sure?” she couldn’t help asking.Felix didn’t answer right away.Instead, he drew back slightly and said in a slow, steady voice, “There’s a kind of light in you. A drive that would have drawn me in no matter what. Even if I hadn’t met you that summer, I would have met you at some medical conference someday. And then I would have pursued you, invested in you, and found a way to make you notice me.”His voice was low in the quiet living room, carrying an almost fated certainty.His fingertips gently brushed the hair beside her ear.“No matter when or how we met, you would have

The elevator rose.Behind Miranda stood Felix, steady and powerful beside her.With a soft chime, the elevator doors opened.When they entered the conference room, several of DE’s key executives were already waiting.At the long conference table, Felix pulled out the chair beside him and said to Miranda, “Sit here.”Miranda paused.Ben smiled. “Dr. Stone, please.”Everyone turned to look at Miranda.They had all been informed before the meeting. Today was not really about negotiating a strategic partnership. They were simply here to go through the motions.Miranda looked at Felix.He had already taken his seat and was gesturing for her to sit.Miranda sat down beside him.Felix spoke first.“I asked everyone here today mainly for one thing. This concerns a deeper strategic partnership between Dr. Stone’s project and DE. As for the framework agreement and specific details, the relevant teams can follow up later.”Several DE executives nodded in agreement.Ben then took ou

Miranda stood quietly to the side and waited while Felix finished inspecting the car.Then he took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves, revealing strong forearms with faint veins visible beneath the skin. A staff member came over and handed him a racing helmet.As Felix put it on, he seemed to glance at Miranda.For some reason, her heart tightened.Wasn’t a test drive supposed to be just a normal drive around the track?An engineer thoughtfully opened the driver’s-side door for Felix. The chief engineer got into the passenger seat to explain the vehicle’s systems, while everyone else moved back to the safety area.The moment the car powered on, a low, restrained hum filled the air, like something ready to launch.This was clearly not an ordinary test-drive mode.Ben suddenly said, “Looks like Mr. Gibson is going to test its limits.”One of the engineers beside them spoke with a mix of nerves and excitement.“This model has been tuned with our latest track mode. The

“Even though I don’t fully understand your research, can you tell me about the breakthrough your team made?” Felix asked, genuine curiosity in his eyes.Miranda’s eyes brightened too. She set down her glass and thought for a moment.“Our team recently got some promising breakthrough data from the animal models,” she said. “It supports the approach I proposed. If the next round of preclinical research and early clinical trials go smoothly, we may be able to see real therapeutic effects in patients.”Admiration flashed in Felix’s eyes.“Dr. Declan mentioned your theory to me,” he said with a smile. “He said it has the potential to change the early treatment of neurodegenerative diseases at the root. It might even have a shot at an Aurora Prize nomination.”At the mention of the Aurora Prize, Miranda pressed her lips together.Those words carried enough weight to move any scientist.They represented more than personal honor. They were the highest recognition a research breakthrough
