Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Chapter 61 

Compared to the first encounter Cara had with Callum, the night was quite different and memorable, as Cara was talking to Callum because of her amusement that Callum would take her to the province where there were horses too. 

“You can have your own horse there. I’ll teach you how to ride a horse. Do you want that?” Callum asked. 

Cara’s eyes widened even more. “You know how to ride a horse?” 

“Ahuh..” 

“Wow,” she gasped, as her mind was filled with the Disney movies where princesses would be on the horse together with their prince. 

“And you 

you are gonna give me…my own horse!” she added like it was like a fairytale that shocked her. 

“Yup. You can have it and name it too. There’s a little horse there. It would be suited for you” 

Cara looked at Ciara. “Mommy, have you heard that? He is giving me a horse, and he is going to teach me how to ride it” “Yes, Cara. I heard it clearly. The place there was so nice. You would love to be there.” 

Thinking about the house Callum built for them if Cara would approve Callum and their relationship would continue, she could really smell that Cara might even agree to live there as long as she would see the horses and the nice place. 

“When are you taking me there, then?” Cara asked persistently as she saw herself now on Ciara’s lap while holding a slice of pizza 

“Hmm..up to you. Anytime you like, actually,” Callum answered. 

Cara was already calculating in her mind as if she had completely forgotten she wanted to distance herself from Callum a bit. “Tomorrow?” She immediately decided. 

“Tomorrow!” Ciara chuckled. 

“I have nothing to do tomorrow, Mommy. Grandma told me we could go to the spa, but that was the thirty times we’d done that. Also, Auntie Serra is busy with her work too. And Uncle Chance might be busy too. We can’t travel at the moment. So… maybe we could. go there tomorrow?” 

With her long reasons, Ciara could smell that she was setting aside everything she was planning just to pursue going to the province just to see the horses and ride with them. 

“I will not go to work tomorrow then, Callum said without hesitation, looking at Ciara. “You?” 

Cara and Callum were now looking at her, waiting for her decision. She cleared her throat and slowly nodded. 

“Alright. I’m coming with you two.” 

“Yey!” Cara shouted and clapped. 

Callum cannot help but smile genuinely. It was very different from the time he had seen Cara, who seemed to want to come home right away and make excuses just to avoid him. 

Throughout the conversation about the horses and the place he owns, Cara would now stand and go to him, as they would talk continuously while Callum was holding her little wrist, as Cara was leaning against the side of the car beside Callum. 

“You have lots of money too, like my mommy, Mr. Haynes?” She asked. 

“I’m a businessman. It’s my job to multiply my money, so it’s really a lot.” 

“When I grow up, I want to build something that will multiply my money too. And then I’ll help the kids on the street, like 

mommy. 

Callum glanced at Clara, who was looking 

ng at them while she was sipping her drink. 

“She’s donating to street children so mommy can build houses for them,” Cara continued. “My mommy is so nice.” 

“She’s been.. since day one,” Callum smiled. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Ciara can’t help but take out her phone and take a photo of them talking. It was such a nice photo where Callum was looking at Cara talking while holding her pulse and Cara was curiously looking at her father, while the background was the nice overlooking city lights. 

That’s why, when Ciara took it, he looked at the camera, as did Cara, who glanced. 

“Are you taking pictures, mommy?” 

“Oh..yeah. The background is nice, so I took some photos,” she said. 

“Go to your mom. I’ll take you two a photo with the nice background.” Callum ordered, to which Cara nodded and went to 

Ciara 

She sat on her lap again as they both smiled for the camera. Ciara even put her chin against Cara’s head while Cara was putting her two hands on her cheeks, as they looked so much alike while posing for the camera. 

After how many takes, Callum pressed the front camera. 

“I want to have a photo with you two,” he said. 

Ciara smiled and nodded. Cara lifted her head to look at Ciara. 

“Is it okay?” Callum asked when he noticed how Cara checked if her mother agreed. 

Cara nodded too. “Yes.. It’s okay.” 

Callum cleared his throat, extended his hand, and positioned the screen of the phone where it would perfectly fit on the camera. They all smiled while Callum pressed continuously. 

The night was so long that Cara fell asleep, and Callum put her on the back seat so she could lay properly while Callum and Ciara continued sitting on the cargo bed. 

“She’s slowly getting close to me. I could feel she’s giving me a chance to know her,” Callum said gently while crouching on his parting legs. 

“I can sense it too.” 

Callum glanced at her, took off his coat, and put it against her shoulder. 

“Thank you,” he uttered. 

Ciara’s brows are knit. “For what?” 

“This. The opportunity to have this with my daughter 

*Callum, I am not cutting off your rights to her as a father. I am not that kind of woman.” 

“After what I did in the past, you’ve given me this opportunity to meet her. Knowing that you raised her alone that might be so hard for you.” 

Ciara remembered her days when she needed to be strong, not just for herself but also for Cara. In those instances, she realized that she needed to kill her weakness to live, and she needed to be strong just to survive for the sake of her daughter, who needed her. 

It was hard. She was having a hard time raising a child alone, as she had no experience with how it really works, but she managed to do it with the support of her family, especially Serra, 

“I promise, I won’t let you raise her alone this time. You have me, Ciara,” he said carefully while looking at her. 

She smiled. “Thanks.” 

Callum smiled and leaned closer. Ciara was bracing for it, as she didn’t move until Callum’s lips touched hers. 

Callum tilted his head, slightly opened his lips, and put his hand at the side of her neck as he combed his fingers into her hair and leaned closer to deepen the kiss. Ciara kissed back, closed her eyes, and let herself indulge in the passion Callum was giving her. 

Their lips collided. No tongue. They could both hear the sound of it while they slowly kissed each other as the night rocked them with its lullaby through the hum of the wind embracing them. 

Clara could feel the loud beating of her heart as she could taste the sweet kisses Callum had showered on her as if he didn’t need to do it fast to be able to express his emotion. It was so sweet and full of sincerity that without touching, just the raw kissing, with no tongue, was so intimate that Ciara felt like she was melting at the top of his fire. 

“I’m in love with you, Ciara,” he whispered breathily against her mouth. 

Ciara slowly opened her eyes as she looked at her dizzily. Callum slowly opened his eyes as well and brushed his lips with hers again. 

“I’m in love with you,” he repeated. His hand was now on her waist, pulling her and coaxing her to sit on his lap. 

In just a second, Ciara shifted in her position until she was now sitting on his lap. She rested her hands on his broad shoulder while Callum caressed the tip of his nose to the length of Clara’s nose. 

“I’ll build another life for our family. You…me and Cara. Just us” 

Ciara closed her eyes as she felt like she was pulled into the orbs of the world. She was falling hard for him, and it seemed like she could no longer pull herself up. She was drowning for him again. 

his 

She felt him brush his lips against hers, so Ciara grabbed his nape and kissed him back deeply, as she pressed her chest against as well, while she sighed against his mouth like it was her first time firing her shot and kissing someone she likes–someone she has fallen into. 

Ciara doesn’t need any of his words anymore. She wants him more than she has wanted him in the past. She wants to be his wife again. She wants to end up with him. She wants him to be her husband. 

“I want you, Callum,” she whispered against his lips.
