Running After my Secret Billionaire Ex-Wife by Yoonworks

“You didn’t tell us that you are coming home?” Callum’s mother spoke as one of the maids informed her that Callum had just arriver She looked at his things and realized that he didn’t have any baggage with him. “Oh, were you just visiting! You didn’t have anything with you,” her vuler was sounding so soft. 

It was true that she wished for Callum to come back because his father needed his help but somehow, she couldn’t help but worry. After what happened to Callum a few years ago, things were never the same. 

When Callum stepped down as the CEO, she and her husband didn’t stop him. Callum didn’t just break down in front of her he broke down multiple times. At midnight, they would hear someone crying at the bar counter and they all know it was him. 

He was hiding his mourning from everyone. Or maybe he was not really hiding it but they all knew very well to pretend not to see him and just let him mourn in peace. 

It didn’t matter that he was drinking. If that was his way to mourn the loss of his unborn child, who are they to judge him? 

And to be honest, Callum didn’t stay in that state for so long. He was so quick to pull himself together and told them that he would be going to Paris. 

She and his husband understand. Callum is their son and what happened was like an eye–opener to them 

They realized how the Sullivans never treated them as their rival. But because the Sullivans were at the top and their company was threading very close by, they all got greedy. They thought they could also be at the top. 

And 

now their greed cost them a life. 

They cut off their relationship with the Wilsons. They didn’t care if they will have a bad blood. Forcing Callum to help Shane after what Shane did was not something they would tolerate. 

Callum sighed but still walked closer to his mother and reached out to hug her. 

His heart clenched at the sight of her. She looked thinner, and a bit older. 

“Have you been taking care of yourself, Mom?” he asked as he pulled away from her a little. His arms were still wrapped around her. 

His mother smiled. “Of course, I am. Don’t be fooled by the white roots that are showing on my head,” 

Callum’s face softened as he hugged his mother once again. 

They both headed to the couch and sat there. 

His mother reached for his hands and squeezed them, “I’m sorry for asking you to go home. I already contacted Blake and asked for his help. Your father had been coordinating with hirn already so you didn’t have to worry.” 

Callum smiled and shook his head. 

After he left, his parents changed a lot. And he knew that it was for the better. Back then, they were very greedy in terms of power. They wish nothing but to be at the top and that was his goal too. It was a dream that he wished to achieve for his parents. 

But then he met Clara, 

After Clara came into his life and after finding out that she is a Sullivan, he thought being at the top wasn’t what he really wanted. He wanted her. He wanted to wake up every day and see her face smiling at him. He wanted to be able to hug her anytime he wanted. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. 

He was willing to turn back on his dream for her. 

If only that tragedy didn’t happen…. 

He will forever blame himself for the death of his child. He will forever blame himself for the pain that Ciara felt. So, he promised himself that he would do everything in his power to make sure she would be safe. 

When Clara told him that she wanted to come back, he was honestly afraid. Somehow, Paris had become a new home for him. He thanks Paris was the safest place for his family and coming back here scares him a little. But he realized how important this step is for everyone’s healing. 

They needed to do this to fully love forward with their lives or they will forever be trapped in thi 

“Clara and I talked..” he stated. His mother looked into him, waiting for him to continue. Knowing that they were talking again ma her really happy but she couldn’t hide the worry in her heari Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She witnessed Callum break down and he doem’t want to see him again like that. If a time would come that she would need to kneel in front of the Sullivans to beg for their mercy, she would if that meant that her son would be happy. 

To her, Callum’s happiness was the most important thing in the world now. 

She smiled at him and urged him to continue. 

Callum smiled and bit his lower lip, “She wanted us to come back here, for me to take the company back and manage it again.” 

His mother was surprised by his words, 

“Wait, didn’t you step down to get away from what caused all of your pain and her pain?” she worriedly asked. 

“We’re working on that, mom. But yeah, she wanted me to take my position back,” 

His mother raised an eyebrow because of that, “That’s what she wanted. How about you? Do you still want that?” she sincerely asked. If this was her five years ago, she would be so happy whenever Callum achieves anything business–related. Now, all she wanted was Callum’s peace and happiness. 

“I know what you gave up and why you did that. I also know how much you love doing business ever since when you were young. When you gave up your position, I felt so guilty after realizing that part of the reason why things happened was our greed due to business. We wanted to be at the top and never really asked you if your goals had changed. We looked forward to your success and not your happiness. And that’s what I regret the most as your mother,” 

She squeezed his hands once again as she could feel herself getting emotional. 

“Whatever your decision is, I will be supporting you. But this time, I just want you to focus on the things that will make you feel at peace and will make you feel truly happy.” 

Callum really appreciated the changes in her so he smiled 

“I want to do business and go home to my family every night. I want to have my breakfast with my wife and daughter every day and send each other off as we all head to where we are supposed to be. I want to be there for both of them.” 

His smile gets wider as he continues, “I want to share my happiness with my family…” 

After just a few days, Cara finally met her other grandparents. 

“Mom, Dad, this is my daughter and my wife,” Callum introduced both Cara and Ciara to his family. 

Ciara was a bit nervous but Callum assured her that his family 

ily was happy to meet her. 

Callum’s father crouched down and urged for Cara to move forward so Cara walked closer to her grandfather. Her grandfather carried her and Cara exclaimed. 

Callum’s mother smiled at her and for some reason, Ciara could see the exhaustion on her face. She knows that Callum had been away for years too as Callum tried his best to watch Cara and her from afar. 

“I’m happy to finally meet you. Callum had said so much about you,” she stated and walked closer before pulling Ciara for a hug. Ciara was startled by her action but she soon relaxed as she could feel the comfort coming from her. 

Through the years, Ciara has become someone with an excellent judge of character and she could really see the sincerity in her action. 

Callum smiled upon seeing the two. Even his father was having fun talking to Cara. He couldn’t help but feel so emotional as his family finally saw them. 

Callum brought their things to the table and his mother gently pulled Ciara towards the living room. They sat on the couch and Cara also hugged her grandmother. 

*You are so beautiful,” Cara’s grandmother exclaimed and Cara chuckled. 

“I look like both my mommy and daddy!” Cara giggled and Callum looked at her proudly. 

The event turned out to be so good and Callum’s parents apologized sincerely to Ciara. In the end, the living room turned out to have 

an emotional amblance but it was something that helped release all the hidden stress that they had been feeling.
