Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

Chapter 8 

It didn’t leave Clara’s mind that she had seen Callum. Though she is distracted by the work that she would do on the first day of being the newly elected CEO -as her father rests for a while so she could have the position as her training background–with the help of her siblings, she doesn’t want anything… getting into her senses that might affect her work, 

But she knew, at the back of her mind, that the scene earlier was buried there, and she could still see Callum’s face in her mind. 

What does he want from me, anyway? Why is he trying to level my car? For sure, that scumbag has already married Shane–that bitch whom his first love 

Though she felt a pang of pain when she remembered that Shane claimed she lost her child or that she was pregnant at the time, she pointed at her for killing the baby, 

She knew in her heart that she was innocent. But when she thinks that Shane lost her baby, she slowly empathizes with her as a mother because she doesn’t know what would happen to her if she lost Cara as well. She is already her life. Her world revolves around her, and she doesn’t really care about herself–as long as her daughter is fine, because she is her first priority. 

Despite what she was thinking, she focused her whole attention on the work as she interacted a bit with the employees who were intimidated by her demeanor. 

She was the talk of the whole floor as they were mesmerized by her beauty, which captured even the woman’s attention. She’s tall and could pass as a supermodel with her body figure and the way she carries herself, which is full of class and elegance. 

She also speaks eloquently every time she talks to the employees regarding things, or she smiles at them a little, which melts them as presence, which seems different from the other Sullivans.

Though the Sullivans were all respected because of their position in the company–wealthiest clan and billionaires–other than that, they were humble, and they weren’t greedy for power. 

Everything was going smoothly on that day, but when Chance approached Ciara, she knew that he had noticed something was bugging her mind. So before going home, Chance took her to the nearest five–star restaurant so they could talk. 

“Is this something to do with Cara? Perhaps…her father?” Chance asked after ordering, and the waiter left. 

Ciara sighed and leaned against the chair. She has never talked to Chance about Callum, but it seems like Chance is quite invested in her failed love life- like how Serra has been nosy about it. 

Louis is quite the one who would just wait for Clara to open up without forcing conversations, while Chance is the girl version of Serra who would always dig it on his own. 

“Cara asked about her father last night, while she was half asleep,” Ciara opened up. 

Chance’s brow shot up. “You didn’t tell her that she has a bastard father?” 

Ciara sighed. She might not say what happened between her and Callum, but her siblings have their own ways of digging up what really happened. And to know how Chance called him a bastard, she could already tell that he had an idea, despite not telling her anything about Callum. 

“I don’t want Care to despise him, Chance. I may not have introduced her to him, but hating her father because of my issues with Callum isn’t really needed. It has nothing to do with Cara.” 

Chance sighed as he understood what kind of parenting she was giving Cara, Cara is the softest girl in Sullivan’s household, as the embodies how Ciara has raised her so well with the way she always speaks softly. 

“If Cara begged and wanted to meet her father, will you… grant it?” He asked.

Ciara couldn’t say anything. She has lots of reasons why she doesn’t want to introduce Cara to Callum. She doesn’t want to repeat what Callum has done to her in the past. She had been abandoned by the inan whom she begged to choose, to support, and to stay with. 

It was that moment that she needed him the most because she found out she was pregnant, was confused and lost, and didn’t know how to face it. 

But Callum chose someone else and sided with his first love by accusing her of killing the child–and worst of all, he despises her as well. What hurt her the most was the truth that Callum only saw her as a business agenda all throughout those years, and he couldn’t even file for divorce because he was afraid it might affect the business. 

The betrayal and hurt she felt on that day were beyond immeasurable. The pain has stabbed her so deeply that, until now, she could still feel the scar of 

the wound. 

It will always serve as a reminder of the pain Callum has inflicted on her and why she needed to protect her own child from them–especially Shane, 

who’s cunning. 

“Why? Would you grant Cara’s wish if she asked it of you? “Cara asked, looking at how Chance immediately cleared his throat and was in deep thought.” 

Cara has been so spoiled that, despite not asking for things, they are willing to give the world to her. 

“Well…” he looked away and brushed his hair lightly. 

“See? You are having a hard time too,” Ciara leered at him. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am not her parent, so the decision is on you. You should think about it thoroughly, Callum said. 

The food was so good that they stopped talking for a while. They were having two courses, and the chef even went to their table to personally give them their order and some special food that was given to them. 

It was the privilege of a Sullivan that they would always get every time they were in public and in a luxurious place as if they were happy v to welcome them 

“Did Cara ask you to meet her father?” he asked. 

Ciara shook her head. “She didn’t. She just…asked about her father last night” 

“Hmm. She must be curious, but maybe she’s just holding back from saying it to you. You should open it up if she wants to or doesn’t want to. Because if she wanted to, then that’s your job as a mother to cater to her curiosity about her father. And explain things to her about your situation at the moment. For sure, 

she would understand knowing that she’s an understanding child.” 

Ciara nodded. “I know, Chance. I needed to explain this further to her.” 

She was a bit nervous, to be honest. If Cara wants to meet Callum, she will let him, But that’s it. It won’t involve anything that they would get back to each other, as she knows the situation and can’t forget what happened in the past. 

They concentrated on eating when a familiar man suddenly showed up and occupied the other table–a VIP as well. 

Ciara glanced at the side, and one thing she saw right away–the familiar physique of Callum–materialized just like how she had seen him earlier 

Oh shit. 

Though she looked unbothered to look at him for a second and see how Callum glanced at her and looked at who she was with, she saw how Callum’s jaw clenched and looked at Ciara back in controlled anger, intensifying in his eyes. 

Clara looked at who he was with as well if it was Shane, but it wasn’t. The woman is sophisticated and looks like a model. 

13:26 Wed, 29 May M. 

“Chance?” The woman called, shocked. 

Chance glanced at the woman who called her, and Callum looked at Chance again as Chance looked at him as well. 

“Mirenda,” Chance called and smiled. 

The woman’s lips were stretching, and when she looked at Ciara, her smile vanished right away. Clara could sense the hostility in her. 

Ciara took her eyes off them, as she didn’t want to pay attention to Callum. And Chance was playfully smiling at Ciara as if he were about to tease her, but he was just holding back.. 

Ciara could feel Callum’s eyes glancing at her from time to time as she remained composed. She cannot believe she’s inches away from the father of her daughter. 

Who’s that? So what’s this? Is he cheating on her first love? Or didn’t work out that he found another woman–just like how he did it during his college 

days? 

Well, whatever it is, I don’t care about his life now. I’ve already changed, and I’ve already moved on from us. It wasn’t hard to kill a feeling that had never been alive anyway. 

“I just go to the restroom,” Ciara said to Chance, who nodded. 

“Do you want me to company you or 

Clara stood and shook her head. “No. I’m fine.”
