Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World! のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 621 - チャプター 630

A little while later, Felix sent a text. “I’m taking Mia to the restaurant for dinner. Do you want to join us?”Miranda replied with a simple “No.”Felix didn’t message again. It wasn’t until around five in the afternoon that he returned with Mia.“Mommy, Daddy took me to the zoo!” Mia said excitedly.Felix had used his break to spend time with Mia, which was something he owed her as a father. He didn’t step into Miranda’s room, clearly aware he wasn’t welcome.That evening, Miranda took Mia out to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Mrs. Young was in good spirits as well. Traveling with Miranda meant she got to enjoy a different level of comfort.The next morning, Mrs. Young stayed at the hotel with Mia. Felix also left Gavin behind to help in case anything came up.Inside the National Grand Theater, the lights glowed brilliantly.Miranda wore a simple and elegant gray suit as she took her seat in the section reserved for honorees in the medical research category. A few rows ahead

Fiona convinced herself that Miranda’s win wasn’t as impressive as it looked. In her mind, Samantha and Dr. Lewis, who had both been close friends of Eugene, had obviously played a role in recommending her for the award. With professors like that behind her, the whole thing had to involve some level of favoritism. Telling herself this made Fiona feel much better.“Next week I’m competing in the International Piano Championship. What kind of award do you think I’ll bring home?” Xena asked.Hearing how confident she sounded, Fiona could not help thinking about the man behind her. With Felix backing her, any award Xena wanted was usually something he could arrange.“Then aim for something big. Take home a top-tier prize and steal some of Miranda’s spotlight,” Fiona said.“Wait for my good news,” Xena replied.“Are you sure Felix and Miranda won’t… you know, now that they’re both in Hamilton?” Fiona asked carefully.Xena cut her off without hesitation. “Even if Felix were desperate,

Miranda froze for three full seconds. Then she spun around, angry heat rising in her voice.“What are you doing here?”Felix’s expression stiffened. He adjusted his posture slightly. “Mia, Daddy will come see you again tomorrow.”“Okay,” Mia replied softly. Even she could tell Miranda was upset.Felix stood, didn’t linger, and headed toward the door. He opened it and left without another word.Miranda let out a slow breath. She turned back to Mia, reminding herself not to blame her for this. Mrs. Young had stepped out to drop their clothes at the hotel dry cleaner. There was no reason to be upset with her either.*The next morning, Miranda asked Mrs. Young to watch Mia for the entire morning. She still had no idea what state Mike was in.Halfway to the military hospital, her phone rang. It was Mrs. Young. Felix had already taken Mia out.Miranda had expected that. She could only let him care for Mia.The military medical center was quiet. After checking in at the front desk,

Mrs. Young glanced over at Miranda. She was quietly flipping through a medical journal, completely absorbed, radiating a calm intelligence that made it clear she was no longer the young woman who had once depended on Felix.Every now and then, Miranda still checked on Mia, but her gaze settled only on Mia’s sleeping face.By the time the plane landed, Mia still hadn’t woken. She was warm and comfortable in Felix’s arms and had no intention of moving.Felix carried her off the plane and all the way to Miranda’s car. Mrs. Young stepped forward to take the child.“How’s Mike doing? Is the injury better?” Felix asked suddenly.Miranda frowned, clearly unwilling to answer.Felix’s jaw tightened for a moment, then he regained his usual composure.“Sorry. I was out of line.”He turned and walked toward one of the cars behind them.Miranda got into her vehicle and gathered Mia into her arms. Mia was still warm from sleep. Miranda caught a faint trace of Felix’s scent on her and narrow

Mr. Lawrence, of course, knew exactly who Leo was. He let out an easy laugh. “Oh, my mistake. I didn’t realize Dr. Stone doesn’t drink. I’ll have someone bring her some juice right away.”As Miranda watched Leo step in to handle the situation for her, she genuinely felt grateful. Across the table, Ben also let out a quiet breath of relief.If Leo hadn’t stepped in, Ben would have had to look out for Miranda himself on behalf of Felix.Just then, Ben’s phone rang. He picked it up without thinking, but the moment he saw who was calling, his expression shifted. He immediately got up and walked to a quieter corner of the restaurant.“How did the ribbon-cutting go?”Felix’s voice came through the phone.Ben replied quickly, “Everything went smoothly. We’re having dinner now.”“Is Miranda there too?”“She is. Mr. Lincoln is here as well,” Ben added before he could stop himself. A moment later, he couldn’t resist adding, “Mr. Lincoln just took a drink for her.”They talked briefly ab
