Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Chapter 12



After Ciara got home, she was greeted by Cara who was still awake, Cara even offered her the cookies that she baked with her grandma.

When they went to the room and swam with her together, Cara giggled while there was a bubble on her nose and cheek. Ciara licked her lip as she was trying to open up a topic about Callum

“Cara, if I am a fairy that could grant any wish, like any wish that you wanted, what are you going to wish for?” She asked carefully.

“Nothing! Because I already have you! You are my everything, mommy!” She giggled, but at the same time, her answer sounded genuine.

Ciara smiled and melted.

“Really? Nothing?”

“Yes, mommy. Nothing.”

She licked her lower lip again. She doesn’t want to open up about Callum, but she wants to discuss it with Cara so she will know what’s running through her daughter’s mind.

“How about meeting your father?” She said it carefully.

She was a bit nervous. She was ready to grant it if Cara asked for it, but after what Callum had told her, she felt like she needed more time to build her relationship with Callum first, to calm him down, and to say that he wouldn’t curse Cara if she finally introduced her to him.

“Mommy, what is the reason you are not with Daddy?” She suddenly asked.

That’s the moment that was slowly drawn into her, and Cara must be thinking about it. She may not be asking for so much information about her father, but it would sometimes linger in her mind.

“Did you have a fight with him?”

Cara sighed and slowly nodded. “Yes, we had a fight.”

Cara’s shoulder loosened.

“I have made a mistake. Your father, has too. And I guess we are still a queen and a king. But we can’t be in the same castle anymore.”

Cara’s eyes flicked. Ciara was hurt to see that Cara seemed touched, but at the same time, she was hurt by what she said.

“But…it was my own issue with the King. The princess wasn’t jailed in the castle. She could come out and meet the King”

Cara’s shoulder loosened even more.

“Are you willing to forgive him if he asks for forgiveness, mommy?”

Ciara licked her lips as she slowly nodded. “Yes, of course. I will…”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Is he willing to ask for forgiveness, too, mommy?”

Ciara doesn’t know what to say. Her daughter is interrogating her.

“I don’t think your father is ready yet. I think he’s hurt too.”

“Like mommy?”

Clara smiled and nodded, as for the first time, she had been vulnerable to her one and only daughter. If she showed her weak side, she would never abandon her, unlike what her father has dene to her.

“Yeah, like mommy,” her voice cracked a bit.

Cara sighed and caressed her check. “If you are not ready, Mommy, I am fine not seeing him. I am happy to be in your castle. I am fine here. I don’t want to meet Daddy for now. If he wanted to see me, I think he could come back to the castle and apologize to the Queen, and then if the Queen approves, the princess will meet him.”

She was melting to the core. When Callum didn’t choose her from the past, it broke her heart. But it seems like Callum has given her something that will

never abandon her.

“I willstay with you, mommy.

Ciara put her hand against hers and looked at her truthfully.

“Cara, the thing is, your father doesn’t know that he has a daughter.”

Cara’s eyes widened. “He…doesn’t?”

She nodded. “Y-Yes. When we fought, I went to Paris, and we didn’t see each other again. So, he doesn’t have an idea that I was pregnant with you. doesn’t know that he has a daughter with me.”

Cara was silent for how many minutes? She’s kind of shocked. She wasn’t expecting it.

“Are you mad at Mommy?” Ciara asked softly.

“Can I hear your reason first? Why didn’t you tell him, mommy?” She said in a hopeful voice that it would depend on her answer if she were mad.

Clara doesn’t want to tell Cara that her father has chosen another family, but she doesn’t want to lie to her.

He

They had already gone out of the tub and just changed pajamas, as they were already squatting on the bed while Ciara was combing her daughter’s wet

hair

“Will you be mad at your father if I tell you that he… found his own castle? That’s why he left the castle of the Queen.”

“Then…I’m fine, mommy. If my father likes the other castle, I’m fine. If he’s happy there, it’s fine with me. I’m happy here, too. As long as the Queen is happy too.”

Clara couldn’t believe how understanding Cara was.

“But what if he wished to meet you? Will you give him that chance to meet him?” Ciara asked and tilted her head.

he apologizes to you first, Mommy, then I will meet him.”

Ciara smiled and leaned closer to her as she kissed her cheek. Cara did the same and kissed her cheek as well,

Ciara felt like she would melt right then. Cara assured her that she doesn’t really crave her father’s presence because Ciara has assured Cara to the core and she has given her all the love she needs.

“Really? Wow. Very well, then, you could assure that Cara doesn’t really care about his father. Do you still love that man?” Chance asked, looking at her maliciously. She told him what she and Cara talked about last time. He immediately went to her to hear about the events last night.

“If I still loved him. I probably would end up in his place again. But no. I went home last night after threatening him not to come close to me again, or else… I’ll put a bullet in his skull.”

Chance whistled. “Look, who’s more violent between us? If your daughter finds that out…” he taunted, just like she said earlier.

Ciara didn’t answer him as her eyes settled on the laptop.

“Aren’t you going to ask me who’s that girl he’s with or… what’s her relationship to your ex husband?” He taunted with a playful smile.

Clara’s eyes drifted t

to him

a bit, and then she took it back to the laptop like she was less interested in hearing it.

“It doesn’t matter now. You have already dealt with her, right? I can’t believe you know someone like that. She really hit me to the nerve last night. I will never forget the things she said about my daughter,”

Chance shakes his head, “I just tolerated her but after what she did, you don’t have to worry. But how about your

ex-husband?”

“I don’t care if they are together, though I thought that man was already married. That’s not the woman whom he defended from the past,” she said as she continued what she was doing on the laptop

“Hmm, then do you want to know whether he’s married or not?” He arched his brow. “According to my own research, you two separated because he chose someone over you, and, hmm, about that girl named Shane?”

Clara looked at Chance.

“Callum thinks we have a relationship. The a s s h l e thinks you are my…” She stopped her words, as they made her disgusted.

Chance’s brow shot up, and he barked a laugh. “Oh, now it slowly makes sense!” He laughed.

“Makes sense? About what?”

“Oh, you’d know since you’re already in the business industry. You’d find out soon,” Chance said in the middle of laughing.

Clara paused a bit as she started thinking about it, clueless. Whatever it is, she has no business with Callum anymore.

“Then… are you

ou going to apologize to him? Are you going to tell him that he has a daughter with you?”

“What Cara wants is for us to apologize to each other.”

Chance’s laugh boomed. Clara rolled her eyes because she knew that she was the most stubborn of the Sullivans, who didn’t even apologize.

“Why would I apologize to that s o n o f a b t c h, Chance? He’s the one who needs to apologize to me. And I already forgive what he has done to me. We are now fine without him. My daughter is fine without her father, and she understands the situation, which is my only concern.”

“You have unfinished business with him. If Cars wants you to apologize, then maybe this is the right time to settle it maturely, you know.”

“He cheated on me, Chance. Oh yes, the marriage wasn’t really true since he only needed someone to help him out, and I said yes. But d a m n it, he got the guts to cheat behind my back and… chose the woman in those moments when I needed him the most because I was pregnant. What would I apologue for?”

Chance shrugged. “For lying?”

“Cara said I’d apologize if that man would apologe too. But I doubt it. Callum is a thick-faced man who won’t ever apologize. He even insulted me

Chance nodded. “Then… what’s your plan?”

Ciara couldn’t answer it. Though she was planning to tell Callum that they have a daughter, she is not asking for him to be responsible for the baby because she could give the entire world to Cara.

“Tell him he has a daughter with me and clarity to him that his daughter is fine without him. His daughter doesn’t need him. His daughter is choosing his

mother, whom Callum didn’t choose.”
