All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 671 - Chapter 680

In the crowd, Hayden was walking toward Felix when it happened. He had not expected Leo to make such a public yet understated declaration of his feelings for Miranda. Instinctively, Hayden glanced at Felix.Felix’s expression remained calm, but a cold, forbidding aura radiated from him. Several business figures who had been about to strike up a conversation quietly changed their minds.After a brief moment of surprise, Miranda quickly regained her composure. She crouched down and smoothed the hem of Mia’s dress. Mia rose onto her tiptoes and said, “Mom, I want to go to the lounge and play with my toys.”Miranda took her hand and headed toward the stairs leading to the second floor. As soon as she entered the VIP lounge upstairs, the lights in the ballroom came fully back on. When the guests looked again toward where Leo’s gaze had landed moments earlier, the woman was already gone.Felix stood at the far end of the ballroom, his gaze fixed on the direction of the VIP lounge ups

“I’ll have it dry-cleaned and return it to my friend,” Felix said. After that, he took the custom-tailored, deep blue suit jacket and headed out.Mrs. Young waited until he had stepped out of the front gate before heading upstairs to tell Miranda what happened.Miranda was in her study working on documents. When she heard what Mrs. Young said, she frowned in irritation.“Ma’am, was that really Mr. Gibson’s friend’s suit jacket?” Mrs. Young asked again.Miranda nodded.Mrs. Young let out a quiet breath of relief. Still, the more she thought about it, the more obvious it seemed that Felix acted out of jealousy. After all, Miranda had walked into the house wearing another man’s jacket. Even as an ex-husband, it was natural for him to mind.That night, Miranda took Mia upstairs early to rest.But the moment she closed her eyes, the words Felix had said while holding Xena’s hand came rushing back, completely beyond her control.“Your life matters a lot to me. Without my permission,

Miranda could tell right away that Lena carried the disciplined air of a soldier. She was surprised that someone so young was already an elite pilot.As Lena looked at Miranda, a spark of recognition and excitement lit up her face. “You’re Miranda Stone? I’ve seen you in the news! I can’t believe I’m meeting you in person. You’re incredible.”Miranda gave a modest smile. “You’re very impressive yourself.”As she spoke, Miranda took in the bright, cheerful young woman and couldn’t help thinking how well she and Mike seemed to fit. She quickly stood and said, “Mike, I have some things to take care of at work, so I’ll head out. I’ll leave you two to catch up.”Mike froze for a second, clearly hoping she would stay. “Miranda, you’ve been here for barely fifteen minutes.”“I’m busy. You know how it is.” She then turned to Lena. “Ms. Scott, I’ll leave him in your care.”“Don’t worry, Ms. Stone. I’ll take good care of General Lloyd,” Lena said quickly.Miranda nodded with a polite smil

The managers stood up and left at once, all of them wondering what could possibly be more important to Leo than finalizing a five-billion-dollar project.Leo stared at his phone, as if waiting for Miranda to explain herself.He waited for ten minutes.Miranda, on the other hand, had barely finished replying when James called her away. By the time she returned to her desk, she remembered Leo’s message. She checked her phone and sent back, “He took the jacket with him that night. I forgot to mention it to you.”Leo finally received her explanation, but instead of easing his mind, it stirred up even more emotions.Miranda got home around eight-thirty that night. Did that mean Felix was still at her house?His jealousy felt irrational, but he couldn’t deny the twist of discomfort in his chest.It was clear that Felix had recognized the jacket and taken it on purpose. Leo found himself lost in thought. Did Felix still have feelings for Miranda?Five years of refusing to remarry,

Felix stared at the photos for a few seconds. He remembered that on Wednesday he had asked Miranda whether she planned to attend the parent-child outing, and she had explicitly told him she wouldn't be attending.So why was she there with Mia?Did she say that just to keep him away, making it easier for her to go on a date with Leo?The staff in the meeting all turned their attention to Felix, who was fixated on his phone. They could feel the heavy, oppressive atmosphere radiating from him.Felix finished the rest of the meeting in a daze. Back in his office, he grabbed his phone and sent Miranda a message.“Didn’t you say you weren’t taking Mia to the outing? Why didn’t you tell me?”At that moment, Miranda was getting out of Leo’s car with a sleeping Mia in her arms. She heard her phone buzz, but she was too tired to look.Mrs. Young came over to take Mia upstairs to bed. Miranda sat down on the sofa, finally letting herself rest for a moment.She was drifting toward sleep wh
