Felix narrowed his eyes, a hint of self-awareness stirring deep in his gaze.Mia stepped into the yard, then paused and turned. In the next moment, she ran right back to the gate. She stood under the glow of the streetlamp and called out, “Daddy, why aren’t you coming in?”Miranda’s gaze turned cold, fixed in his direction. Felix looked at the two of them for a moment before answering his daughter.“Daddy still has work to do. Go inside with Mommy.”“Okay.” Mia did not question it. She waved her hand. “Bye, Daddy.”Just then, Gigi trotted over, tail wagging, begging for attention. Felix crouched down and rubbed Gigi’s head. Gigi closed its eyes in bliss.Miranda returned to find yet another dog missing from the yard and called out with clear annoyance, “Gigi. Inside.”Gigi finally trotted back in. Miranda shut the gate, sealing Felix outside completely.That night, Miranda lay in bed with Mia curled against her as she read from “The Little Prince”.“So the Little Prince deci

That afternoon, Miranda spent two hours in the lab. Adrian asked her several technical questions, and she answered each one patiently. He still remembered what Fiona had done last time, and for a moment, he wanted to warn Miranda to be careful around her.“Miranda, how are things between you and Fiona?” he asked.“Not great,” Miranda replied honestly.Adrian decided to leave it at that. Since Fiona was now assigned to a different project, there was no point stirring things up.Before the end of the day, Samantha called Miranda into her office. She brought up Felix’s plan to acquire HC Biotech, and how three of their patents were crucial for Miranda’s next stage of research.Miranda nodded. Felix had already said the patents would be transferred to the lab next week, so she did not feel especially concerned.“Felix has invested a tremendous amount in your project,” Samantha said. “From what I hear, he is paying well above market value just to secure those patents.”Miranda let

The next morning, Miranda received a call from the vice president of the Jenkins Foundation. They hoped she would deliver a speech at the launch of their new talent development initiative. After all, it was a charitable project she had personally funded. Miranda had planned to decline, but the program was designed to support young researchers. That alone made her agree.Later that evening, Leo texted her, reminding her about the event at ten the next day. Miranda replied that she would be there on time.At dawn, Miranda dropped Mia off at school and happened to see Haley dropping off Vivian. She greeted her politely.“Good morning, Mrs. Lincoln.”Haley gave her a polite nod, though her gaze carried a hint of scrutiny. What surprised her was that Miranda showed no sign of trying to please her. There was not a hint of flattery or eagerness to please.Miranda offered a simple greeting, then turned and got into her car without another word. Haley stood there, slightly taken aback. I

Another gentleman beside her also offered his congratulations. Miranda smiled politely and nodded. “Thank you.”As for Felix, she acted as if she had not heard him at all.A faint ripple passed through Felix’s eyes before his expression returned to its usual calm.The event continued onstage, shifting to the next foundation initiative, a campaign focused on environmental protection.Sienna stared at the back of Miranda’s head, her chest tightening with irritation. “Look at her acting so smug. She donates a little money and suddenly thinks she is someone important.”Xena kept her elegant smile. “Sienna, do not say that. Contributing to scientific research is a good thing. We should give her credit where it is due.”Sienna curled her lip, unimpressed.Hayden, however, glanced over with a look of genuine approval. Xena’s words had clearly raised his opinion of her.She brushed her hair back, her fingers brushing Hayden’s arm. He smiled faintly in response.Just then, an assistant

The patent transfer went smoothly. Miranda checked the time and turned to Samantha.“Dr. Liam, I’ll head back to the lab now.”Samantha nodded. “Go ahead.”Then she glanced at Felix. “Felix, do you have something you want to say?”Felix looked at Miranda as she gathered her files. His eyes narrowed slightly.“No.”Miranda finished packing her documents and walked out without looking back.Her silence said everything. Even if Felix had something to say, she had no interest in hearing it.Samantha watched the two of them, a quiet sigh rising in her chest. She used to think that if their divorce had not been so tense, there might still be a chance for reconciliation. After all, they shared a child.But now, Miranda clearly had no intention of looking back, and Felix no longer had the patience to win her over.Felix finally spoke. “Dr. Liam, what is the status of the research using Miranda’s mom’s donor sample?”Samantha had already asked Miranda about it, but she had not begun
