All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 1691 - Chapter 1700

Felix had come out with only a towel wrapped around his waist.He stood by the railing as if admiring the night view, his skin still damp from the shower. A drop of water slid from the ends of his hair, down over his broad shoulder, across the firm lines of his back, and lower, until it disappeared beneath the edge of the towel.He had an excellent body.Perfect proportions, with the lean, toned build of someone who had been disciplined for years.As he moved, his shoulder blades shifted slightly beneath his skin, like a pair of folded wings.He held a towel in one hand and casually dried his hair. Damp, his silver-gray hair looked darker, falling across his forehead and making his dark brows and deep eyes stand out even more.“What are you looking at?” Felix asked, raising a brow as he turned toward her with a low laugh.Miranda quickly lowered her gaze.“Nothing.”Felix walked over and sat down on the couch beside her.Despite herself, Miranda glanced at him out of the corn

Outside the window, the night deepened.Inside the room, the air grew warmer by the second.The light was dim, but Felix’s eyes were bright. Even as he kissed her, he still seemed determined to take in every expression on her face.Miranda noticed.She lifted a hand and covered his eyes, refusing to let him look.Felix let out a low laugh, his throat moving.“You won’t let me look?”Miranda didn’t answer. She only pressed her hand more firmly over his eyes.His thick lashes brushed against her palm like feathers, sending a faint tickle through her skin.Felix lowered his head. His kisses moved along the side of her neck, then to her earlobe, then her jaw.Each one felt like a spark landing against her skin.Miranda could feel the tension in his body, restrained and coiled tight, as if it might snap at any moment. Her breathing grew unsteady too.Without realizing it, her hand loosened.Felix lifted his head.There was something dark and intense in his eyes now, like a bea

“No,” she said.“Anyway, it’s getting late. We can talk in person in the next day or two. You should get some rest.”James had decided it was better to end the call.Miranda could only answer, “Okay. We’ll talk in person.”After hanging up, Miranda picked up her mug and took a sip of tea. Then she glanced at the time.It was ten.She went upstairs and heard water running from the bathroom in the guest room. Felix was showering there.Miranda went back to the study and shut down her computer.She had already showered, but she wasn’t sleepy yet, so she sat in the upstairs sitting area and planned to read for a while.A short while later, Felix walked out in a set of pajamas.When he saw her reading under the light, a smile flickered in his eyes.“Done talking to James?” he asked, clearly still teasing her.“We’re done.”Miranda looked up and shot him a glare.Felix walked toward her while drying his damp hair.The couch was huge, but instead of sitting anywhere else, he in

Under Felix’s steady gaze, Miranda suddenly realized what she had just said.She turned her face away, the tips of her ears warming.“Nothing,” she muttered, then quickly walked ahead.Behind her, Felix caught up with a smile and took her hand.“Then I’ll take that as you agreeing to be responsible for me for the rest of your life.”Cornered by him, Miranda had no choice but to look up at him.She did not answer.She only smiled, her eyes carrying a soft trace of compromise.Felix froze for a second.Then he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.Just then, Gigi ran over to them with her leash in her mouth, her tail wagging happily.Felix took the leash in one hand and Miranda’s hand in the other, then walked with them into the distance.*On Monday, Miranda was on her way to the lab when her phone rang not long after she left home.It was Keith.“Ms. Stone, are you not coming to the board meeting today?”Miranda had seen the email he sent, but she hadn’t planne

Wesley had always been proud and arrogant. Being humiliated like this by someone from the younger generation, in front of every shareholder in the room, was more than he could take.Even knowing the consequences wouldn’t be easy to bear, he still had to defend what little pride he had left.He shot to his feet, glaring at Felix before turning his anger on Miranda.“Felix, I know why you’re targeting me. Isn’t it because of this woman beside you?”Wesley let out a cold laugh.“All I did was kindly suggest that you marry someone else and have more children for the Gibson family. Your family line needs to continue. As for your ex-wife here, even if you remarry her, she won’t give you any more children. Was I wrong?”The moment Wesley finished speaking, the entire meeting room fell into a deathly silence.Everyone’s gaze landed on Miranda, then quickly shifted away, as if they were afraid of offending Felix.Wesley continued, “I’d say this not only in front of you, but even in fron
