Chapter 65


    The storytelling continued as Callum was determined to do it with Ciara, <b>Cara </b>was giggling sometimes, listening carefully until the story finished, and she was amazed by how it ended.


    “The prince was so brave for choosing the princess against his mother who was a witch, Mommy,” Cara said while she was yawning, closing her <b>eyes </b>while hugging the bunny–stuffed toy.


    “I cannot wait for my mommy to have her own prince <b>too</b>. But mommy is a queen, and she doesn’t need a prince,” she whispered as she was dozing off to sleep.


    Callum arched his brow and looked at Ciara. “Of course. You don’t need a prince. You need something more than a prince.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Ciara rolled her eyes, but there <b>was </b>a crippling smile on her lips. It was such a nice feeling to be able to read her daughter’s bedtime stories <b>not </b>just alone but together with the father of her child. It makes the night even better, as she didn’t expect that she would be able to experience it with Callum.


    Ciara caressed the cheek of her sleeping daughter <b>as </b>she watched her in awe.


    I love her so much, she said gently.


    I love her too,” Callum murmured.


    Ciara lifted her eyes, and she <b>saw </b>Callum’s eyes looking at her,


    She took her eyes off him and looked at her daughter again, sleeping peacefully. She was suddenly hopeful that Callumn would not change, as he was now part of <b>Cara’s </b>life. Though her daughter still tries to wee Callum, from the way she interacts with him, she can already tell that Cara willpletely embrace him as her father.


    She closed her eyes as she hugged <b>Cara </b>until she felt a warm hand hugging her too. She slightly opened her eyes Callum hugging them, locking her into his arms while their faces were leveled and Cara’s head was leveled to their chests. and saw


    Callum leaned closer and her forehead. “Goodnight, <b>Ciara</b><b>…</b>


    Ciara smiled a little and closed her eyes. “Goodnight, Callum…”


    She couldn’t help but stretch her lips because of this ttering moment in her life. She was sharing a bed with Callum and their daughter. She felt how warm the bed was when she was sharing it with someone.


    When morning came, she slowly woke up and smelled the familiar scent of Callum until the first thing she saw was his <b>chest</b>


    When she looked at the center, Cara was no longer there, <b>and </b>the arm that was wrapped around her was none other than Callum’s<b>.</b>


    She cleared her <b>throat </b>and tried to move from his <b>hug</b>, but then it suddenly tightened.


    “Good morning,” he whispered in his bedroom voice.


    “Uh, good morning. Where’s…Cara?”


    “She woke up early. She’s probably downstairs. Jessie is there to look after her


    “And why didn’t you wake me <b>up</b><b>?</b>” <b>she </b>asked.


    “Coz I want to cuddle with you more. The bed seems sofy when you’re beside me.” He chuckled.


    Ciara sighed, <b>but </b>then there was a smile her lips. Callum buried his face against her neck and it lightly, to which Ciaraughed a bit because it tickled.


    If it weren’t for the continuous knocks, Callum wouldn’t stop her until the door opened, and Ciara needed to push herself away from Callum’s hug as she sat..


    “Good morning, Mommy!” Cara greeted cheerfully as there was an icing on her cheek and her pigtails weren’t even leveled.


    “Good 11 <b>she </b>said back as Cara crawled to the bed <b>and </b>her mother’s chest


    Cara looked at Callurn, who was still lying against his stomach while hugging the pillow.


    “Good morning, princess,” he greeted.


    <b>“</b><b>Good </b>morning” Cara greeted back. “I prepared breakfast for us. I helped Jessie.”


    “You did? <b>Ciara </b>asked.


    Callum reached for her cheek and erased the small icing on her cheek.


    “Is that the reason why <b>you </b>looked like a mess?” he chuckled


    I helped her make pancakes. You two should try it. We must have an early breakfast, and then we can ride a horse. It was already <b>sunny </b>outside.”


    “You are so excited. Is your pancake delicious?” <b>Ciara </b>asked.


    “Yes. So please, let’s have breakfast now, she encouraged, crawling out of bed first.


    The two had no choice but to get up. Callum carried Cara as they were going downstairs. She brags about her efforts in helping Jessie in the kitchen.


    That’s why, as soon as they reached the kitchen, the first thing that caught their attention on the table was the nice ting of the pancake with smileys and strawberries on top, while Cara wrote Mommy and Daddy on <b>each </b>te.


    Callum froze a bit as soon as he saw the written daddy on top of the pancake. He didn’t expect that Cara would now consider him her father.


    Ciara noticed it too, she nced at Callum just to check his expression. And to see him staring at it unbelievably made her


    smile.


    *Cara was so determined to help me out just to prepare something for the both of you, Jessie said as she ced the orange juice on the table and also the other tes for the bacon.


    They took <b>a </b>seat while Cara was still being carried by Callum, who also sat on hisp.


    “Thank you,” Callum whispered to her, the side of his head.


    “You’re wee. I hope you will like it.”


    Twould like it for sure. He smiled


    Cara pouted. Ciara was just smiling the whole time, happy to see that the two were getting along well, and Cara was now a bit clingy to her <b>father</b>, who <b>was </b>feeding her <b>too</b>,


    “Hmm. It tastes good.” Ciara nodded as soon <b>as </b>she tasted the pancake.


    “Yes. It tastes good. You should help me make breakfast next time, Callum offered.


    “Okay!” she said cheerfully.


    After their heartwarming breakfast, they <b>took </b>a bath so they could finally ride the horse, which Cara had been looking <b>forward</b><b>. </b>to since yesterday. She was dressed in a uniform for horseback riding, like she was an equestrian royalty, because of her

    They were all wearing matching outfits as they went to the ranch, and the men who were in charge of the horses showed each of the horses they would use


    “Wow… Cara gasped as soon as the small white horses among them were presented in front of her.


    “This is going to be your horse from now on<b>,</b><b>” </b>Callum said.


    <b>“</b>Can I touch him?” she asked.


    “Alright” Callum carried her until she leveled the head of the horse.


    <b>Cara </b>slowly extended her hand and caressed its head. The horse neighed. Cara pulled her hand back, but she caressed it again. Callum and Ciara smiled, seeing her determination to hold it.


    And because she cannot ride it alone yet, Callum lets her join him on <b>his </b>own horse, a ck horse, while <b>Ciara </b>also rides on


    her own

    “Here. Hold this too.” Callum guided her hand to also hold the rope of the horse as he was gripping it.


    Cara looked so determined to hold it as she gripped it as well, copying how her father held it. Ciara leveled the horse to their side as Cara nced at her mother and showed what she was doing.


    “Look, Mommy! I’m holding it too!”


    Ciara smiled. “You’re doing great, darling”


    “Hold it carefully so we can defeat your mom in horseback riding,” Callum said, smirking at Ciara.


    “Ah, so you’re challenging me, huh?”


    “Why, Ciara? Scared that we might defeat you?” Callum chuckled.


    “Try me,” Ciara smirked as she immediately ordered her horse to run fast.


    “Hold it carefully, Cara. We’ll defeat your mom,” Callum said as he also made the horse run fast to chase after Ciara’s horse.


    Cara screamed andughed as she was having fun with just the thought of riding the horse that was now chasing after her mother’s horse. She was smiling widely while the rough air them, as she was almost leaning against her father’s chest while Callum made sure she wouldn’t fall throughout the ride.


    Ciara nced and saw her daughter giggling andughing together with her father, who seemed to be having fun with him too. She smiled and made her horse run smoothly until their horse leveled on hers.


    “Mommy!” Cara called with a grin on her face.


    “Wow, Cara! You seem to be learning! Sheplimented and chuckled.


    “Daddy is good at teaching me!” She bragged.


    Ciara and Callum looked at each other as soon as they heard how Cara called her daddy unconsciously because she was so delighted.


    “My daddy is so good at riding a horse!” She bragged even more.


    Ciara smiled and chuckled. “Yes, I could see it so well. Your daddy is good at riding.”


    Callum bit his lower lip as he was embraced by the happiness that he chuckled along with them, enjoying the moment with the woman he loves and the daughter, who just acknowledged him as her father by calling him daddy.
