Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 461 - Bab 470

Miranda asked Mrs. Young to pick Mia up from school because she planned to stay in the lab until nine.At five thirty, Mrs. Young called. Miranda’s heart tightened for a moment. “Did something happen?” she wondered.She quickly answered. “Hello, Mrs. Young.”“Ma’am, Mr. Gibson picked Mia up. He was already at the school when I arrived. He asked me to let you know he’s taking her to the Gibson estate for dinner and will bring her home around nine.”“Alright, I understand,” Miranda replied.“Ma’am, Mia was very excited. I think she misses Mr. Gibson and the Gibson family,” Mrs. Young added gently.“Okay,” Miranda answered again. She did not say anything else.She guessed that Samantha had told Felix about today’s breakthrough. Of course he would find an excuse to pick Mia up.Since Mia was taken care of, Miranda pushed the distraction aside and returned to her work.At nine o’clock, Miranda powered down the lab equipment and headed to the parking garage with Adrian. He was sti

“Leo has someone he likes?” Susan frowned. But Haley had told her that Leo was currently single and not seeing anyone.“Which socialite is Leo interested in?” Susan asked, unable to hide her curiosity.Sienna’s eyes flashed with hurt and anger. “Socialite? No. It’s Miranda. The person he likes is Miranda.”Even though Susan had seen Leo and Miranda leaving in the same car last time, hearing it confirmed still stunned her. Her expression froze. “What? Leo likes Miranda?”Sienna buried her face in her knees and began sobbing again.Susan quickly sat beside her to comfort her. “Sienna, do not panic yet. Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?”It was hard for Susan to believe Leo would like Miranda. After all, Leo and Felix had grown up together, and Miranda had once been her daughter-in-law. How could Leo possibly fall for his friend’s ex-wife?“I wish it were a misunderstanding,” Sienna choked out. “But it is not. Leo does not just like her. He is already in love with her.”

Dr. Lewis went on stage to deliver his part of the presentation. Once he finished, Miranda stepped down and took a seat beside James. She sat quietly, composed and elegant, like a lily settling into the evening light. Ten minutes later, the conference concluded smoothly.Miranda could not leave right away. Samantha had specifically asked her to stay and speak with several colleagues from the field.When Miranda joined her, Samantha introduced her to a group of senior researchers. Every one of them looked at Miranda with clear admiration.“Miranda, I was two years behind your father in school,” said a silver-haired department director with a warm smile. “We even played on the same soccer team.”Miranda’s expression softened with respect. “Hello, Dr. Zimmer.”Dr. Zimmer laughed. “I never imagined Eugene’s daughter would grow up to achieve something like this. He would be proud of you.”Across the room, Felix was still speaking with several board members. Their eyes shone with exc

After a long day at work, the most comforting thing for Miranda was Mia’s bright, sweet smile. And every time Mia hugged her and called her ‘Mommy’ in that soft little voice, Miranda felt truly needed and deeply loved.Mrs. Young handled all the meals and housekeeping with meticulous care, turning the home into a peaceful place where Miranda could truly rest.“Mommy, Vivian’s birthday party is tomorrow,” Mia said, frowning a little. “I am still thinking about what gift to get her.”Miranda smiled. “Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the mall. You can choose the gift yourself this time.”Mia nodded happily. “Okay!”“Mia is really growing up so fast,” Mrs. Young said with a warm laugh.Miranda looked at Mia and felt a soft ache of love. She found herself wishing Mia would grow just a little faster. In another ten years, she imagined, they would not only be mother and daughter but also good friends.That night, Miranda received an email from Dr. Smith overseas. He congratulated h

It was said that Haley was hosting a grand birthday party for Vivian this year.Knowing that, Sienna stopped worrying. She was certain Miranda would not be there tonight.She headed to the boutique to meet Susan, determined to look stunning this evening.After returning home, Miranda helped Mia get ready. She dressed her in a sparkling blue princess gown that made Mia twirl happily in front of the mirror. Miranda styled her long hair into a braided princess hairstyle and added a delicate headband. She looked adorable.Miranda then went to her own closet and chose a simple but elegant checkered dress she had bought earlier. A thin belt at the waist highlighted her figure.It was not overly formal, but still respectful for the host’s home.“Mommy, let’s go,” Mia urged, looking every bit like a little princess.The birthday party was being held at Leo’s villa. While driving into the residential area, Miranda deliberately took a different route, but Mia still recognized it.“Mommy,
