All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1621 - Chapter 1630

Miranda glanced at her watch.It was already nine thirty.She looked up and said, “I’m going to the study for a bit. If you’re free, take Gigi out to the garden for a walk.”A smile touched Felix’s eyes.“Sure. I’ll take care of Gigi. Go do your work.”Just then, lightning flashed outside the window, as if warning them that a heavy storm was about to roll in.Miranda quickly said, “Never mind. Don’t take her out. Just let her stay inside.”She didn’t want Gigi getting caught in the rain either.“It’s already so late. You still have work to do?” Felix suddenly asked.“Mm,” Miranda answered.Just then, another bolt of lightning split the sky, followed almost immediately by a sharp crack of thunder. Miranda startled.“You should go back,” she said to Felix.She turned to head upstairs, but before she could take a step, a warm hand closed around her wrist.“It looks like there’s going to be a storm tonight,” Felix said quietly. “Let me stay with you.”“No need. Go back and ge

Miranda woke to the sound of a bird calling outside the window.As her mind slowly came back, she opened her eyes. Her vision was still a little blurry, but she could see the pale morning light filtering through the curtains.Then she realized, with a start, that her head was resting on Felix’s lap.His suit jacket was draped over her. Felix was leaning back against the couch, his head tilted slightly to one side, one arm propped behind him. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be sleeping deeply.Morning light fell across his sharp features, casting soft shadows over his face.His other hand was still resting loosely at her waist, as if he had been afraid she might turn over in her sleep and fall off the couch.Miranda’s heart skipped a beat.She stayed completely still as her mind slowly replayed everything that had happened the night before.She hadn’t expected to fall asleep so deeply beside him. Even more than that, she hadn’t expected herself to sleep through the entire

Gigi kicked and squirmed in Felix’s arms a few times before he finally set her down. The moment her paws hit the ground, she shook out her soaked fur.Felix was drenched too. His sweatshirt was completely wet, with several clear paw prints stamped across it.Miranda almost couldn’t hold back a laugh. Then she glanced at Gigi, who was already darting around mischievously nearby, and felt both amused and sorry for her.“Your clothes are soaked. Go back and take another shower,” Miranda said to Felix.Felix looked down at himself, then nodded.“Okay. Let’s go.”The two of them, plus one very wet dog, headed back home.Miranda had decided to give Gigi a bath once they got back.On the way back, Felix heard that Miranda was going to bathe Gigi. Since he was already wet anyway, he decided to help wash Gigi first before taking his own shower.There was a dedicated washing station for Gigi in the garden. Miranda brought out the supplies, and Felix crouched down, gently running his fin

At noon, Felix cooked lunch.When Miranda saw him go into the kitchen, he was still holding an iPad. He refused to let her help and wouldn’t let her into the kitchen either.Miranda guessed he was planning to learn as he cooked.So she left him alone. She took her phone outside to the swing in the yard and sat there with Gigi, scrolling on her phone while enjoying the sunlight.Gigi dug around in the grass by her feet, then started chasing butterflies, completely delighted.About half an hour later, Miranda caught the aroma drifting from the kitchen.She set down her phone, suddenly curious about what Felix had managed to make.She walked to the kitchen doorway but didn’t go in. Instead, she leaned against the doorframe and looked inside.Felix had his back to her and was busy at the counter. His dark-gray shirt was rolled up at the sleeves, revealing his strong forearms. He was mixing some kind of sauce, his expression focused.Miranda narrowed her eyes slightly.It looked l

“I saw the news this morning too. They were grocery shopping together. They already have a daughter, so getting back together seems pretty much guaranteed.”“With an ex-wife like that, would Felix Gibson even look at another woman? I heard the Chamber set up a dedicated fund for her research and is investing directly in her work. Seriously, who else gets that kind of treatment?”“Miranda is already worth a fortune on her own, and her research career is thriving. No wonder Mr. Gibson can’t forget her.”Some of the whispers still reached Miranda’s ears.She knew that attending an event with Felix tonight meant she would inevitably hear things like this.A little later, Chairman Lowe led his wife through the crowd, clinking glasses and chatting with guests. After that, Felix also took Miranda to greet several highly respected senior figures.“Dr. Stone, I hear your current research could be very beneficial to people our age. I’m looking forward to seeing you succeed.”“Thank you.”
