Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 31 - Bab 40

After the long weekend, the school officially reopened.Early that morning, Miranda dressed Mia in her school uniform and held her hand as they went downstairs. Felix, dressed sharply in a suit, was waiting in the living room.Miranda got into his car with Mia in her arms and rode with them all the way to the school gate. After watching her daughter walk inside, she turned to Felix and said, “I’ll walk home.”Once she got home, Miranda quickly got into her own car and drove off. Preparations for the new research lab had already started last week, and there was a planning meeting scheduled for 10:00 a.m. that she needed to attend.She drove straight to the medical university’s research building. As she stepped out of the elevator, she ran into James. He looked as polished and refined as ever. After a quick chat about their recent work, they walked together toward the conference room.Miranda and James greeted Dr. Lewis before taking their seats. When everyone had arrived, Lucas sto

“Mr. Lincoln? Does your child go to school here too?” Miranda asked curiously.“I’m here to pick up my niece,” Leo said with an easy smile.By 4:20 p.m., Leo and Miranda walked into the pick-up area, one right after the other. They spotted Mia and a little biracial girl playing together, hand in hand.“Mommy!”“Uncle Leo!”The two little ones ran toward them together. As Miranda scooped Mia into her arms, she saw the other girl throw herself into Leo’s embrace.“So you’re classmates too?” Miranda said with a smile.“Vivian Wilson’s my best friend,” Mia said happily.“That’s great!” Miranda smiled back. Leo had once saved her life—a favor she would never forget as long as she lived.Just then, Mia’s excited voice rang out again. “Daddy! Daddy!”Miranda froze and turned to see Felix making his way through the crowd. Mia ran straight into his arms, and Felix lifted her up, walking toward Leo.Felix looked at Leo with concern in his expression. “Is there still any chance of turn

Miranda’s hatred for him ran so deep that when she bit down, the force and fury behind it drew blood.Felix frowned and released her instantly. Miranda seized the chance to run back to her room and lock the door.Under the light, Felix stared at the fresh bite marks on the back of his hand, his handsome face turning as cold as ice, his eyes glinting with a sharp chill.Back in her room, Miranda was still breathing heavily. She knew Felix might have Xena now, but that didn’t stop him from wanting her, too. Maybe it was some twisted need of his—to watch two women fall over him like fools.In that moment, she had only one thought, “Get the divorce as soon as possible.”*The next morning, Miranda walked Mia downstairs. Felix stood by the door on the phone. The moment Mia ran to him, his eyes softened into a smile. But when he looked up and saw Miranda, the warmth vanished, his expression turning cold again.Miranda’s gaze fell on the back of his hand. The bite mark from last night

Sienna assumed the bite mark meant that Miranda hadn’t gotten her way with her brother and had lashed out like an ungrateful brat. In her mind, only her brother would tolerate someone like Miranda. Any other man would have divorced her a dozen times by now.“Sienna,” Felix said in a cool, warning tone.“I’m not wrong, am I?” Sienna shot back with open displeasure.*At the dinner table, Sienna turned to Mia. “Mia, how about I take you to school tomorrow morning?”At Mia’s age, new experiences were exciting. She nodded eagerly. “Okay!”“And I will pick you up after school too, sound good?”“Okay!”Miranda paused mid-bite. She couldn’t do much about Sienna moving in, but now Sienna was offering to handle Mia’s pick-up and drop-off. Miranda felt a jolt of concern.Sienna was close to Xena, and Xena lived nearby. “Could this be her plan to take Mia over to Xena’s place?” she wondered.“Miranda, you don’t mind, do you?” Sienna asked suddenly, her eyes full of challenge.Miranda l

Sure enough, it was Xena. Today she was dressed in a tailored business suit with a pair of sleek silver glasses. The outfit made her look elegant and professional while still exuding mature allure. Standing beside Felix, she looked like the perfect accessory to his polished image.So when Felix said he was staying overnight at the office last night, he was probably at Xena’s place instead.It hit Miranda that Felix was already openly bringing Xena to events and social circles.“Why is she here too?” James’ voice sounded from beside her. “Do you really plan to keep holding on to a marriage like this?”Miranda had no reason to hide anything from him. Her gaze remained on the couple as she said firmly, “I’m going to file for divorce.”James paused and looked at her. “If you need my help with anything, just say the word.”Miranda gave him a grateful smile. “Not for now.”Downstairs, the launch ceremony was about to begin. James said, “I’ll head down first. You don’t have to come if
