Miranda froze for a second and instinctively touched her face.“It’s the brand I told you about last time. I haven’t used anything else.”Coco studied her again, curiosity written all over her face.“Then why does it barely do anything for me, but it works so well on you? Look at your skin. You’re practically glowing. It’s fair, rosy, and so smooth I can’t even see your pores. Honestly, your skin looks even better than before.”Miranda’s ears warmed.She couldn’t help thinking about how little restraint Felix had shown over the past two nights.“Maybe it’s because…”Miranda cleared her throat lightly.“I got better rest during the conference in Hamilton.”Then she couldn’t help asking, “Coco, are you seeing anyone?”Coco sighed.“My mom has even been pushing me to go on blind dates. It’s not that I don’t want to date. I just haven’t met anyone right.”Miranda comforted her. “You will.”Coco looked at Miranda and felt a little envious.Miranda clearly didn’t have to worry

Chapter 1682

Miranda got home at eight thirty.She had already eaten dinner at the lab, but Mrs. Young had still thoughtfully made her a small bowl of warm vanilla pudding.Miranda sat on the patio, slowly eating it.Felix had bought Mia a bicycle, and she was riding all over the lawn, laughing happily. Gigi chased excitedly behind her.Just then, Gigi suddenly darted in front of Mia.Mia couldn’t brake in time, and both she and the bike toppled onto the grass.Miranda’s heart tightened in alarm, and she almost rushed over.But in the end, she held herself back.It was rare for Mia to run into a little setback like this. Miranda wanted to see how she would handle it on her own.At the same time, Felix’s heart clenched hard.Mia had fallen on the grass, with the bicycle pressing down on one of her legs. Gigi, clearly panicked, ran over and nudged against her.Felix instinctively took half a step forward.Then he stopped.He only watched.Mia lay there on the grass, her big eyes instinc

Miranda came out after taking a shower, and Felix’s gaze naturally shifted to her.Mia looked up at her and said, “Mommy, I’ve decided I’m going to sleep by myself tonight.”Miranda paused in the middle of applying hand cream.Almost instinctively, she looked at Felix.Felix gave her an innocent smile.“She decided that on her own.”Mia nodded her head seriously.“Yes. I decided all by myself. I’m going to be brave and sleep alone.”Mia’s room was right next door. It had been ready for a long time, just waiting for the day she felt brave enough to sleep on her own.“Daddy, can you carry me over and read me a story until I fall asleep?” Mia asked, holding out her arms to him.Felix picked her up, grabbed the picture book, and carried her to her room.Miranda was speechless.Where had this sudden determination come from?Was Mia really moving into her own room just because she had decided to?After sleeping beside Mia for so long, Miranda had grown used to having her there.

In the dim light, Felix’s back flexed with quiet strength above Miranda, every movement controlled and powerful.Outside the window, it was already late fall, but inside the room, it felt as hot as summer. The air was thick with heat, mingling with the clean, intoxicating scent of cedar on him.The next day, Felix got up on time to take Mia to school.Miranda slept until ten in the morning.Mrs. Young had prepared breakfast for her. When Miranda came downstairs, there was still a languid softness about her. Her hair fell loose around her shoulders, and a few faint marks were visible along her neck.After Felix came back, he drove Miranda to the lab himself.He had tried very hard to convince her to stay home and rest, but Miranda insisted on going in.He took the wheel of her car.Before they reached the lab, Adrian called. The call connected through the car’s Bluetooth, and Miranda answered.“Hi, Adrian.”“Miranda, you have a visitor.”“Who is it?” Miranda asked in surprise

Miranda glanced at her phone, then pulled her thoughts back to work.Thanks to the analyzer Felix had purchased, the parameters had already been calibrated. She urgently needed to move into the next stage of research.She put on her lab coat, walked into the lab, pulled on a pair of gloves, and went straight to the new equipment.For the next two hours, she and Adrian threw themselves completely into the experiment.The analyzer was even more precise than expected, and the data it captured was extremely accurate.At four in the afternoon, Miranda was analyzing a set of data when her fingers suddenly froze.On the screen, one of the curves showed an unusual fluctuation.Miranda quickly typed on the keyboard and pulled up more data for comparison. Her eyes stayed fixed on the screen, unblinking, and for a moment, she almost forgot to breathe.Ten minutes later, she suddenly stood up.Her chair rolled back behind her.“Adrian,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “Come look

They had only been on the road for a short while when they hit a red light.Felix reached over and took Miranda’s hand.“Why are your hands so cold? Did you skip dinner?”“I ate in the cafeteria,” Miranda said.Then she rubbed her hands together and realized that late fall had really arrived.“Next time you work late, I’ll have someone send dinner to your office,” Felix said.He was worried she hadn’t eaten enough at the cafeteria.Miranda shook her head.“Don’t worry. I don’t eat much at night anyway.”Felix glanced at her but didn’t say anything else. He simply held her hand a little tighter.Miranda leaned against the window, her thoughts still on the work from earlier.The data from today was too important. She needed time to process it.Then something occurred to her, and she turned to look at Felix beside her.If he hadn’t gotten her such an important piece of equipment, her experiment might have been delayed by a year, maybe two, or even longer.In this era, scient

Miranda stood at the vanity, applying face cream. Curious, she glanced at Felix through the mirror.“Which specialists?”Felix walked over and named a few people.Miranda’s eyes widened slightly.Any one of those names would have been enough to make waves in the medical field. One was a pioneer in neuroscience. Another was a leader in gene therapy. There was even a National Academy member who almost never made public appearances anymore.“How did you get them to agree?” Miranda couldn’t help asking.Felix smiled.He came up behind her, braced both hands on either side of the vanity, and leaned close around her.“I have my ways,” he said, looking at her through the mirror.His lips brushed her earlobe.“I’m not chairman of the Chamber of Commerce for nothing.”Miranda didn’t move away.She looked at him in the mirror and suddenly didn’t know what to say.He knew that what she needed was not just money.Money could buy equipment. It could hire talent. It could keep her lab

“Felix…”Miranda reached up and pushed lightly at him.“Mm?”His lips had already moved to her collarbone, his answer muffled against her skin.“I’m meeting people tomorrow.”Felix lifted his head.In the darkness, she couldn’t make out his expression, but she could feel him smiling.“Okay,” he said. “I’ll try to avoid anywhere obvious.”Before Miranda could argue, he kissed her again.Outside the window, the night deepened. Inside the room, everything slowly fell into darkness. All that remained were their breathing and their heartbeats.And his back, rising and falling like waves in the dim light.Much later, Miranda lay weakly in Felix’s arms.His kisses had turned gentle, soothing, and reluctant.“Sleep,” he murmured. “It’s Saturday tomorrow. You can sleep in.”Miranda was too tired to even open her eyes.She only answered with a faint, muffled sound.Felix let out a soft sigh and pulled her into his arms, holding her as they fell asleep together.The next mornin

Miranda couldn’t help laughing.“We’re at this age, and we’re still going on dates?”Felix took her hand and answered in a low voice, “Early thirties is the prime of life. And you’re only getting more beautiful.”Miranda was amused despite herself and tried to pull her hand back.“Stop sweet-talking me.”But Felix tightened his hold, brought her hand to his lips, and kissed it.“Please do me the honor, Dr. Stone.”Miranda thought about it for a moment, but she couldn’t think of anywhere in particular she wanted to go.“Where do you want to go?”“If you don’t have somewhere specific in mind, I’ll choose,” Felix said.Miranda looked at him, then nodded.“Okay. You choose.”After Felix’s car left the congested downtown streets, it merged onto the highway leading toward the coast.Miranda watched the beautiful sunset in the distance, and old memories slowly rose in her mind.She could guess where he was taking her.It was the bay resort just over sixty miles outside the city

Miranda nodded.The memory came back to her too.It had been shortly after they got married. Felix had been worried she would feel too cooped up, so he had bought a private suite at the resort, just so she could come here and rest whenever she wanted.The first time they came, Miranda had worn a long white dress and run barefoot across the beach. Felix had followed behind her, carrying her shoes.That night, the two of them had sat on the sand, leaning against each other as they looked up at a sky full of stars.It had been impossibly romantic.“I remember,” Miranda said, turning to look at him with a smile. “We were so much younger then.”Felix smiled.“We’re not old now.”Miranda laughed despite herself.“Why are you so sensitive about age?”Felix tightened his hold on her hand. His gaze rested on her face, gentle and helpless all at once.“I’m not sensitive about age. I’m afraid you’ll decide you don’t want me again.”Miranda froze for a second, then laughed softly and
