All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Your Ex-Wife Is Absolutely Killing It in the Research World!: Chapter 971 - Chapter 980

“Okay. Then I’ll wait for you,” Xena replied.After the meeting, Hayden even ate lunch in his office. He wanted to finish his work early and make time for the movie with Xena that afternoon.They had gone to movies together before, but this was the first time Xena had been the one to ask him. There was no way he was going to be late.He pressed the button for his assistant’s line. “Order a bouquet of roses for me. I want the best ones.”When Hayden checked the time, it was already 1:45. He decided to leave early. He wanted to be completely relaxed and unhurried when he met Xena for the movie.He headed out, driving with music on and feeling in a good mood, when he suddenly turned onto a road jammed with a long line of cars. His mood soured instantly.“What’s going on?” Hayden frowned and checked the time again. He was starting to think he might be late.He rolled down his window and saw a traffic officer’s motorcycle coming up the middle. He called out, “Officer, what happened u

The doctor handed Hayden the CT order. After paying, he came back and found Sera sitting there waiting for him, looking at him with the kind of quiet dependence that made her seem almost childlike. “Does it still hurt?” Hayden asked softly. Sera nodded. “Yeah. They put in seven stitches.”She hadn’t really felt it while she was still bleeding, but now that the wound had been stitched up, it hurt even more.“Come on. I’m taking you to get a head CT, just to make sure you didn’t injure your head,” Hayden said.Sera nodded and got to her feet beside him. Her head was still spinning, and when Hayden saw that, he instinctively put an arm around her shoulders and let her lean against him as they walked.Sera looked at him gratefully. Even with her pale face, a faint blush rose to her cheeks.When they got to the CT area and handed over the form, the nurse looked them over and asked, “Is there any chance this lady is pregnant? We don't recommend CT scans if there's any chance of preg

The sudden intimacy caught him so off guard that his heart skipped a beat.Hadn’t Xena always loved Felix? She had always been polite with Hayden, always careful to keep the right distance between them. She had never once taken the initiative to get this close to him before.Hayden swallowed hard. Now that the chance he had once wanted so badly was suddenly right in front of him, all he felt was flustered.“Xena, I’ll hold your hand,” he said, switching from letting her cling to his arm to taking her hand instead.Just then, Xena noticed that the entire back row was empty. She tugged lightly on his hand. “Let’s sit in the back.”Hayden thought that was probably better, so he followed her and sat with her in the middle of the last row.Once they were seated, Xena smoothed back her hair. In the light from the movie screen, Hayden found himself looking down at her.Xena noticed and turned to look at him too. Their eyes met at close range.She blinked, her makeup flawless, her whol

Hayden scratched the back of his head again without thinking. What had he said wrong this time?“Hayden, are you that eager to come to Felix’s and my wedding?” Xena suddenly lifted her head and looked straight at him.Hayden froze for a second. Then he let out a quiet laugh. “Felix proposed to you? When did that happen? That guy didn’t even say a word to us.”Xena’s eyes suddenly turned red. She looked away and snapped, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”With that, she clutched her purse and quickly disappeared into the crowd without looking back.Hayden stared after her, completely confused. Then, remembering she had come out alone, he instinctively ran after her.“Xena!”It was the busiest time of day at the mall. He chased after her for quite a while, but couldn’t spot her anywhere. Starting to panic, he pulled out his phone and called her. She didn’t answer.He quickly sent her a message instead.“Xena, stop playing around. Let me take you home.”She didn’t reply.Ha

At nine, they each called for a driver to take them home.After Leo got out of the car, his assistant immediately came over to steady him. “Mr. Lincoln, I’ll take you home.”“No need. Head back,” Leo said, bracing himself against the car door. He was clearly really drunk.“Mr. Lincoln, are you sure you don’t need me to take you?” the assistant asked, still worried. It was the first time he had ever seen Leo this drunk.“I’m fine.”After the assistant left, Leo didn’t go home right away. Instead, he wandered into the residential complex, wanting to walk for a while and clear his head.But as he kept walking, he found himself outside Miranda’s building without even realizing it.He looked up at her apartment. The lights were on.Leo let out a sigh. Just as he turned to leave, he saw a familiar figure coming around the corner.It was Miranda.As usual, Gavin had driven her home, and she looked a little tired as she walked over.“Miranda?” Leo murmured under his breath.
