Serra:
I think you have a lot of explanations to give me. The guards told me you left with Callum.
It was the text coming from Serra as soon as she opened her phone while she was heading home.
She could still feel him on her body. She licked her lip and felt satisfied. She couldn’t feel the alcohol in her anymore, as if it had been drained by Callum with how he pleasured her. But of course, she didn’t allow him to fully fuck her. She made him pleasure her but tortured him at the same time.
Him knowing that he couldn’t take her as he pleased was more than enough to make her feel even better. She doesn’t care if Callum had to play with himself in order to get his release. She wants him to suffer.
You should have stayed in his bed and talked about things, Clara. And what? All you did was taste him, and then leave?
Well, that’s what it should be.
She shrugged and didn’t mind it. She doesn’t want to stay there on the bed; expect cuddles and aftercare from the man who abandoned her in the past.
And Callum’s anger was so raw that it showed in his performance. And she knew it wasn’t the right time to talk things out, knowing they just acted out of the lust they felt at that time.
It was like she chose to have fun for a night, and it was just a coincidence that it was Callum whom she chose.
When she entered the room, her beautiful daughter was still sleeping peacefully as she saw the four a.m. time on the side of the bed. She caressed her cheek lightly as she smiled a little and crouched to give her a kiss on the forehead.
She sighed and stood as she was about to shower when her daughter caught her arm and pulled her until she was now hugging her.
“Cara?” She called.
“You had fun with Auntie Serra, mommy?” She asked inaudibly while she still sounded so sleepy.
“Oh yes. Sleep hmm. Mommy will just take a bath, and I’ll join you on the bed,”
“Okay…”
When Ciara felt that her hug had loosened, she stood and went to the bathroom as she took a bath. She couldn’t take out of her mind what happened between her and Callum. She was wondering if she made the right decision to get out of bed so quickly, but she didn’t want him to leave first. If someone’s leaving the bed first, it’s her.
She woke up late, but she was so awakened by the sweet kisses from her cheek that she smiled and hugged her daughter until Cara giggled when she fell © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
beside her.
“Good afternoon, mommy.
“Good afternoon, baby”
1 brought your brunch to our room and also a medicine given to me by Lala. She told me I should give you one for a headache. Are you sick, mommy? You should eat so you can drink your medicine.”
Clara opened her eyes slowly and glanced at the side of the bed until she saw that it was already three in the afternoon.

When she looked at the bed, the tray and the small table where it was placed were already at the edge of the bed. So she crawled there and sat in front of it while Cara stood behind her and combed her hair using her fingers.
“Auntie Serra told me she would find you a date. Did you find a date, mommy?”
“Date?” Ciara glanced at her daughter playfully as she picked up the mug and sipped on the coffee.
“Yes, date. Auntie Serra told me it’s when men and women have the same interest and they know each other. Date. She also told me, if you’ve fallen in love with each other and decided to marry, he is going to be my father.”
Oh, Jesus. Serra and her mouth. I hope she’s not telling things about Callum!
“Well…” Ciara looked at the food as she realized who designed it.
The egg was made like it was smiling and the bacon was positioned as the lips. There was a salad as well, which was her favorite, and some vegetables
“And I smelled another scent from you last night. You are dating now, mommy?” Cara asked in her excited tone.
Ciara can’t believe how meticulous her daughter is, who remembers small details. She seems to be paying attention so much that she knows whether it
is her mother’s scent or not.
“You want me to? I don’t want to date because I only want to spend my full–time taking care of you.”
“You should date. Mommy, so someone will take care of you too. Though I know I could take care of you, in fairytales, princesses have a prince to make them happy. Though there are princesses who are happy without a prince and a queen who is happy without a king, I would be happy if you had one, Mommy.”
“Really?”
“Yes, mommy. It’s fine with me. And once I have a father, I will dance with him to that song I like!”
“And what song would it be?”
Cara started singing the song she liked, and Clara laughed because her daughter was so cute. She even got out of bed and danced with her mother while singing. When they were finished dancing, she urged her mother to continue eating.
“That’s my wish, mommy. I want you to date. And that man will be my father, and we’ll dance!”
“Alright, alright. I will think about it, okay?” she said, and she put her daughter into her lap as she continued eating.
“You should introduce him to me, okay, mommy?”
“Hmm…okay…”
Though she doesn’t want to mention that the owner of the scent she smelled was actually her father’s scent, she wants to consider Cara’s suggestion about dating.
It was like her own wish because she wanted to dance to the song she liked with her soon–to–be father,
“You are fine even if it wasn’t your father?” Clara clarified.
“Yes, mommy. As long as you are happy with him. And he loves you!”
“Do you know what love is?”

“Yes. It’s like the love you have for me. If a witch appeared right now, you’d save me and protect me. I love that you won’t let me get hurt by other people and that you are willing to sacrifice your own safety. That’s love.”
“There’s also what we call romantic love, baby. Do you know that?”
She shook her head.
“Do I have that?”
“You will have it once you are old enough. It’s love coming from a stranger. Someone who’s a stranger. That’s where dating starts, too. That’s what
romantic love is.
“Did you date when you were young
younger, mommy?”
“Welt: didn’t. But I liked someone else when I was young.”
“Who is it? Is it…daddy?”
Ciara sighed and nodded slowly. “Yes. It’s your daddy.”
Cara smiled. And every time she would talk about her lather, Ciara would always notice the flicker of lights in her eyes. It’s melting her every time she sees that her daughter seems to be interested in knowing her father, but at the same time, she doesn’t really acknowledge it, as she was fine without knowing him too.
“Cara, I am not stopping you from knowing your father, okay? You could always meet him if you like.”
“He must apologize to you first, mommy. And once he apologized, it’s fine with me if you tell him, and then I will meet him.”
“And then after that? “Ciara asked.
“And then… I’d tell him I’m fine with you. He doesn’t need to worry about me. And that… you are the best mom ever. You give me everything, and he doesn’t need to give me anything because I have everything”
Ciara’s heart was melting for her daughter. She hugged her tight and kissed the side of her head. She continued eating her brunch when her phone beeped.
When she looked at the screen, Chance’s text flashed.
Chance:
Are you coming to work tomorrow?
Ciara typed for a reply.
Yes.
She suddenly remembered that Serra might have told him things, which is why he was texting her because he wanted to get some information.
That’s why, when tomorrow came as she went to the company, her door opened and Chance walked in.
“What is it?” She asked while she was on her laptop and reviewing the other proposals.
you are dating?”

Her brows knit. “Dating? Who?”
He shrugged and sat slanted on the side of the table with his left leg as his hands remained in his pocket.
“Your daughter has told mom and dad. She seems excited that you were dating”
Ciara slowly calmed down as she sighed and put her attention back on the laptop. She didn’t answer him, as she remembered the night with Callum that made her brows knit.
“Are you dating for real, or are you just going back with your fake ex husband?” Chance asked suspiciously.
