Chapter 45



Ciara laughed at Callum’s shameless request.

“Just because we fucked then, that doesn’t mean you are now freely welcome in my life,” Ciara said, smiling playfully and glancing at Callum, who furrowed his brows. 

“That moment I’ve seen you on the beach and you let me sit at your table with you, I could really tell you are a playgirl.” 

“What? Just because I let you sit at my table?” she laughed. 

“You radiate it too. You were beautiful like you knew you could get anyone, and I could tell by the coldness in your eyes that you made a lot of men cry or fall on their knees to worship you like a goddess. 

Ciara laughed giddily as she could not believe Callum had that kind of first impression of her, which she least expected. 

“Well, you radiate that fuckboy vibe too. You have that vibe in you that seems like you are used to breaking women’s hearts too, she fired back. 

But instead of being too defensive about it, Callum’s lips twisted as he tried to stifle his smile but failed, so he buried his face. against her neck and chuckled a bit as his breath vibrated against her skin. 

“See? You are guilty because that’s the truth,” 

e said accusingly. 

“Nah, I just remember that day I joined you at the table,” he laughed. 

“And what is it?” 

“Coz I really want to break you that time. But not your heart. I meant…the other way around,” he said hoarsely and laughed 

again. 

Ciara’s stomach tickled as she remembered how she judged him on her mind at that time-that he was the kind of m seemed good at making a woman scream in bed. 

And even though she already tried having sex with him, there was something about the way he imagined him breaking in bed that made her want to do it again. 

“I was expecting you’d do that to me on that day too,” she croaked 

Callum tightened his hug to her until she felt him twitch, knowing she was just sitting in between his parted, bent legs and he was topless because she wore his dress shirt that was so big to her to cover her from the cold. 

“Too much for being a Sullivan, and you were so untouchable, huh?” he said raspily, crawling his hand to her chest, slightly cupping her boob. 

She rested her head against his shoulder and looked at the darkness of the sky. She sighed as she felt at ease the first time that she felt so comforted in his arms. 

Back in the past, Callum would treat her after their achievements in their business; she would treat it like a reward and sometimes assume that he might be falling for her, but Callum isn’t really touchy to her nor initiates intimacy, which confuses her whether they were doing it because they earned some money or because she is his wife. 

But at the moment, as Callum was hugging her after their heated sex, she could feel his raw feelings; the intimacy that she once craved with him was already in front of her. 

If we don’t consider the power, me being a Sullivan and him being the CEO of Haynes, I wonder if we could just leave everything, turn our backs, cut off those who would stand between us, and just live somewhere far away together with our daughter.

But could really Callum turn his back on the dream he built for years to have a life with me? And I think I cannot cut off Cara’s family, who’s precious to her as well. 

“Have you ever thought of turning your back on everything?” she asked out of curiosity. 

“Like right now? And live with you in Paris?” he added. 

She nodded as she could feel Callum’s finger drawing lazy circles on her stomach, as his head was now resting on her shoulder. 

“Yes. Something like that 

“We could do it while I take care of things. I’ll be visiting you in Paris since I wanted to talk to Cara too. I want to spend time with her. Will she be okay with that?” 

She sighed. Cara might be so well-mannered and someone who respects people, but when she doesn’t like something, she is so hard to please, as she is so overprotective, especially toward her mother. 

“She was so serious when she told me she didn’t want to meet her father, Callum. I know that once she said she didn’t want it, she would stand by it. She’s hard to bend.” 

“Like her mom?” 

Ciara leered at him. “Or like you?” 

“No, that’s you. You were so hard to bend. I feel like you are less interested in anything. 

that time you had feelings for me. It’s really hard to read you.” 

Ciara rolled her eyes, but her lips were stretching. 

“You were my wife, but you don’t insist on cuddles and intimacy 

“It was because you were busy at work too!” she said in a high-pitched voice. 

which is why I was shocked that all 

“Because I feel like you don’t want me,” Callum said, laughing at how fucked up they were in the past. “I know you as someone who seems too distant and doesn’t like clingy boys. So I never attempted. But I really do spoil you a lot.” 

Looking back at those times, she remembered how Callum would shower her with flowers and gifts. If Shane hadn’t come into the picture, they might still be happily married and find ways to work on their differences. 

“You changed when your first love came back,” she whispered bitterly 

Callum’s smile faded. It was hard to defend his past self because he knew he really never paid too much attention to Ciara just because he was used to her being cold, distant, and unbothered that he underestimated her. He took her for granted as a wife, expecting she wouldn’t really mind because he felt like Ciara didn’t have any feelings for him that deeply. 

“I want you to be more open to me this time,” he whispered. “I’ll take all of it, I don’t care how small it is. But just tell me everything you have in mind. Let me know,” he said gently. 

“If I told you to drop Shane, would you drop her?” 

“Drop her, and she would lash it out at you I don’t know what that woman would do to you, Clara. It would be better could tame her,” he said. 

“Until when?” She asked. 

“Until I convinced her that you have nothing to do with the death of her child. She’s treating me as her coping mechanism. for the loss of her baby, and she’s still sane because she knows she still has me. Once I help her improve and get over the past, then I will completely tell her about us.

Ciara sighed. She wanted to argue about it, but there was something else that was stopping her as well. As she said to herself, she understood Shane somehow. 

“If she does something that would affect my daughter again, I will turn my back on you so I can completely stop her from bugging my life, Callum. I meant it. I won’t give you another chance, and I would just take my daughter somewhere far from your reach,” she warned. 

Callum kissed the side of her head. “No, I’ll do my best not to repeat what happened at the event. And I won’t let her hurt our daughter, Ciara. I don’t want her to hate me forever. And I don’t want to lose this chance you’ve given me too.” 

She glanced at him. And because their faces were just inches away, Callum tilted his head and kissed her gently. 

He drove her home that night. Callum wants to just take her home, but at the same time, they are both thinking about their daughter, who’s left with her grandparents, who are expecting Ciara to come home like the time she told her. 

So when she entered the room and took a half bath for a while and joined Cara to bed, who was already asleep since it was already past three AM. Cara moved and cuddled her. 

“Mommy,” she called sleepily. 

“Hmm? I am here,” she whispered, kissing her head as she caressed her back. 

“You… met up with Daddy?” She asked in a little voice that made Ciara pause a bit. 

“This scent… that’s his scent,” she said like she was so sure of it. 

She wanted to lie about it, but she knew how smart Cara was as a child. 

“I did. I just talked to him about some things,” she explained carefully. 

you tell him we would go back to Paris? That he not coming with us?” she clarified, as if she meant the last sentence. 

“I did, and he asked me if he could visit Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
