Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Bab 791 - Bab 800

“So Miranda really has no shortage of admirers,” Fiona scoffed.Coco deliberately turned and looked Fiona up and down. “Come on, Fiona. Miranda attracts people with real ability. That already puts her ahead of most of us. And weren’t you the campus beauty back then? How come no one’s sending you flowers now?”Fiona’s face flushed instantly. “If I wanted flowers, you really think no one would send them?”Coco shrugged. “Sure, someone might. Just probably not a big shot like Mr. Lincoln.”Fiona’s expression stiffened. Fiona had always felt superior in front of Coco, and now the words stung.“Attracting men isn’t exactly an accomplishment,” Fiona said coldly.Coco snorted. “You’ve got that wrong. Miranda’s real strength isn’t men. It’s her research. She has incredible talent in research. She’s the real deal.”Fiona’s expression darkened. “Coco, don’t push it. What did Miranda give you, huh? You’re always defending her. Does she even appreciate it?”Coco snorted. “I don’t need her

Miranda frowned and called out to Mia, “Mia, it’s time for us to go home.”Felix swallowed, his Adam’s apple moving slightly. Miranda’s reaction made it clear. She didn’t need a gift from him.“Daddy forgot this time. I’ll make it up to Mommy next time,” Felix said. After that, he carried Mia to the trunk and opened it. Inside was a pink box of building blocks.“Wow!” Mia exclaimed in delight. “I love this present!”Seeing how happy Mia was, Felix’s brows relaxed. He had spent a long time browsing online the night before to pick out the perfect one. Felix handed the gift box to her. Mia hugged it tightly and tugged at his coat. “Daddy, come upstairs and have dinner with us!”Felix looked toward Miranda, his eyes silently asking for permission.“Mia, be good,” Miranda said gently. “Daddy still has things to take care of. Let’s not bother him, okay?”“Okay,” Mia nodded, sensibly letting go of his coat.Felix crouched down and kissed Mia on the forehead. “Merry Christmas, my lit

By the time dinner ended, it was already eight-thirty. Miranda took Mia’s hand and said, “Say goodbye to Daddy.”Mia was a sensible child. She knew that having Felix come and eat with her was already enough. She couldn’t ask for more.“Bye, Daddy,” Mia said, waving her little hand.Felix crouched down. “Daddy wants a hug before I go.”Mia threw herself into his arms and let him hug her. Miranda then took Mia’s hand and walked straight toward the elevator without looking back. She and Mia would be staying at the hotel that night.Felix watched as they entered the elevator. Only after the doors closed did he turn and leave. He still had to return to the office for a video conference. He had pushed it back until after midnight just to make time for this dinner with Mia.*At the Gibson estate, Sienna was having tea and chatting with Xena when she received the photos. As she stared at her phone, her expression soured instantly.“What’s wrong?” Xena asked calmly as she set her teacu

After seeing the guests off, Felix immediately scanned the parking lot, but all he saw were the taillights of Keith’s car vanishing into the stream of traffic.He stood there for a moment in the cold until Xena’s private van pulled up. Draped in Felix’s suit jacket, she got in and departed.Inside the van, Lily glanced at the jacket on Xena’s shoulders, then took Xena’s own coat from the seat and laid it over her legs, unable to stop herself from nagging. “I told you to put your coat on before getting out of the car. Look, you’re cold again.”Xena pulled the suit jacket closer around herself and closed her eyes. “Stop fussing.”Lily smiled as she looked at the high-end men’s suit. “Mr. Gibson’s, right?”Of course. If Xena had stepped out wearing her own coat, how could she have stirred up Felix’s protective instincts?As far as Lily knew, over the past few years, Xena had draped herself in Felix’s suit more times than she could count.In any case, Felix clearly doted on her and

Gavin brought dinner for Felix. After arranging everything on the table, he walked to the home gym. Felix had been working out for over an hour already.He spoke with concern. “Mr. Gibson, you really should eat something.”Felix’s workout shirt was soaked through with sweat, clinging to his body and accentuating the tight, powerful lines of his muscles. Every contour was sharply defined, brimming with strength.To be honest, Gavin truly admired Felix’s discipline. Even with an overwhelming workload, Felix maintained strict control over his physique. He was like a precisely calibrated machine.Felix took a shower and then came back out. Gavin sat with him for dinner and reported on work matters as he ate.With the New Year holiday approaching, Miranda took Mia to the mall to buy some household items and brought Gigi in for a grooming session. These small, mundane tasks, when done with Mia, brought both of them immense joy. To Mia, simply being out with Miranda was the most meanin
