Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

“You would really continue on that narrative of yours, huh? We both know what happened on that day,” she said as she stood on her ground. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Shane smirked while the anger was still on her face. 

“If you weren’t guilty, then you wouldn’t run away and hide for how many years. You are that guilty that you left, you murderer,” she spat. 

“Mommy,” Cara called in her shaky voice. 

Ciara had almost forgotten that Cara could hear everything. So instead of talking back to Shane, she glanced at the bodyguards, signaling them to do their job as Ciara walked past her. 

“You bitch! Where do you think you are going, huh?” Shane attempted to chase her, but she was suddenly blocked by the bodyguards as Ciara calmly walked out. 

“It’s not your fault. It was an accident. And you already said sorry It’s enough, Ciara said to her daughter, who was still glancing at Shane, who was trying to pass the bodyguards blocking her way. 

“Why is she so mad at you? And what’s…murderer, mommy?” 

Ciara has never introduced Cara to any type of violence because of her gentle parenting. Now that Shane suddenly popped out, she was blaming herself for being so reckless, almost regretting why she went back to New York when, in fact, her life in Paris was way more peaceful compared to New York. 

Ciara could still hear Shane screaming and accusing her of anything as she was trying to get away from the blocking, but she 

couldn’t. 

Ciara took her child to the nearest restroom as she carried her and let her sit on the sink. When she saw the fear in Cara’s face, she felt so apologetic for her daughter that she witnessed it 

She cupped her face and caressed it using her thumb as she looked at her carefully while their faces leveled. 

“It’s a bad word. That woman is accusing me of something I didn’t do, just like earlier. She likes to point fingers and make it seem like it was your fault, but it wasn’t. It was an accident, something that you cannot control.” 

“But why is she so mad if it was just an accident? Doesn’t she know it was?” Cara asked confusingly. 

“There were kinds of people like her who didn’t view accidental things the way they were. Instead, she blamed the others, which is bad. You should not point fingers at people who didn’t do anything wrong, nor accuse them of doing something they didn’t do.” 

Cara nodded as she looked at her mother worriedly. She caressed her cheek as well. 

“Are you okay, mommy?” 

Ciara nodded and smiled. “I am okay now. As long as you are okay.” 

Cara leaned closer and hugged Ciara. “She’s scary. She might be waiting outside and hurt you, Mommy. I don’t want to go outside. 

Ciara sighed and caressed her daughter’s back as she kissed the side of her head. She sheltered her so much that Cara had never seen any form of violence around her. May it be shouting, hurting, or even cursing. Even the Sullivans were so gentle to her that the only environment she was used to was the peacefulness of her world because she was sheltered by her mother.

O 

“Hello, Gwen?” Ciara answered while they still stayed in the restroom. 

Cara doesn’t want to come out, afraid that Shane is still there and might do something foreign to Cara’s eyes. 

The bodyguards already handle it,” Gwen explained carefully. 

“I want her out of the mall. Cara is quite traumatized to come out. I don’t want her popping out of nowhere while we are still here Ciara said. 

“Alright, copy. I’ll call the security to escort her outside.” 

“Alright. Thank you.” 

Ciara turned the call off and looked at Cara, who was trying to peek her head at the entrance of the door. Ciara walked toward her and offered her hand. 

“Let’s go,” Ciara said, smiling at her daughter. 

“But…the woman..she might still be there, mommy.” 

Ciara shook her head. “No. Mommy has already taken care of ith 

And just like that, Cara’s expression calmed down. It was enough as an assurance because her mother said so powerful her words to Cara are. 

That’s how 

Ciara distracted her for a while, bringing her to the restaurant they were supposed to visit. And it seems like it was Gwen’s idea as well, that suddenly, minutes after ordering, a group of familiar Disney characters went out as Cara’s favorite song resonated all throughout the place. 

The others were curious about the sudden play of the music, but then, when the other kids liked it, especially Cara’s, whose eyes were widening as she saw her favorite characters dancing and greeting each of the tables, she was so excited to be greeted as well. 

“Mommy!” She pointed at them excitedly. 

Ciara chuckled and took out her phone to document Cara’s uncontrollable smile as she was now moving on her seat while singing cutely and dancing as well; her body was like a bamboo stick being played by the wind. 

Each of the Disney characters greeted Cara while waving their hands at her and giving her a flying kiss while gracefully bowing to her as if she were a princess as well. 

And Cara, bowed at the same time, holding the sides of her dress while she was giving the respect back that those who were watching clapped and were in awe of how cute and respectful Cara’s response is. 

It was she who was only singing to the song played, and some were now whispering if the restaurant had prepared it for the little girl, assuming that it was probably Cara’s birthday. 

And just like that, Cara’s mood lightened while she was already holding a flower as the other Disney songs continued on that hour while they were eating, and the waiters were still dressed in their Disney characters, 

Even the chef went out as well, serving food with the design of the Disney characters too, so Cara was fully entertained and forgot that she was worried earlier. 

It was one of the few things Ciara was thankful for as a Sullivan. She could access privileges that helped her daughter, who wasn’t in the mood earlier. Though she could handle her, what wen did made it even better. 

“You’ve liked it?” Ciara asked while they were already heading to the parking lot. 

“Yes, mommy! We should eat there again! I didn’t know there were Disney characters there. I thought they were only in

Disneyland.” 

“Well, you ar 

a princess. Maybe they followed to cheer you up because you were sad. 

“But… I wasn’t sad. It was you who was sad.“ 

” 

Ciara was a bit stunned that her daughter had acted sad earlier, thinking that her mother was sad. 

“No, I’m not. I would only be sad if you were sad. Are you sad?” 

Cara shook her head. Ciara smiled and laughed, as did Cara, who laughed too, as she hadn’t noticed that their flower had already dropped and was resting on the side of her car. 

“Excuse me. Your daughter dropped…”The sudden familiar voice of someone stopped as soon as Ciara glanced, including 

Cara. 

Ciara’s smile slowly vanished when she saw Callum holding the Bower Cara dropped. 

“Ciara.” Callum called. 

Ciara’s heartbeat was banging loudly. She suddenly froze, thinking that the father of her child was just in front of her. 

Callum’s hand drifted to Cara until he crouched down just to level her. When their faces leveled, Callum saw Cara’s eyes, which was the same color as his. 

the color of 

There was something about the child that melted him, but at the same time, he knew he cared because it was Ciara’s daughter, who just looked exactly like her mom. 

“Is this yours?” Callum asked gently 

Cara was looking at Callum in a curious way as she nodded a little. When she smelled something that seemed so familiar, she looked up at her mother. 

“Mommy. He smelled like the scent when you were coming home after dating.” 

Ciara was shocked by Cara’s sudden mention. And to Callum’s reaction, who arched his brow and looked up reaction as well, the stifled playful smile on his lips was just too obvious. 

“I know your mommy,” Callum said. 

Cara looked at him again as Callum handed the flower to her, and Cara took it gently from his hand. 

“Thank you. How did you know, mommy?” 

“Well, I think that scent you smelled belongs to me. 

p to see Ciara’s 

Cara looked so stunned that she looked at her mother again. Callum smiled when Cara looked at her again, as he noticed the sudden change in her expression as if she were so thrilled to meet him. 

“What is your name, little girl? “Callum asked. 

Tam Cara,” she introduced. 

“Hello, Cara. I am Callum” he said as he gently took the flower cut of her hand and put it on the side of her car. meet you” 

“Nice to
