My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292

“No! No, of course not. It’s still platonic. Nothing sexual.” She was embarrassed and nervous, but she had to make that clear.

“Did you fall for him after you stayed with him the last time?” she asked. Claire thought this started because her daughter wanted to marry a rich and powerful man.

Ruka shook her head. “Mom, it’s not-”

“Swear… Swear you won’t ever get near him. Swear you won’t even get any ideas about him, or I’ll disown you and kick you out of the house.” Claire was starting to threaten Ruka.

Ruka closed her eyes and held her tears in. She could feel her heart getting torn into a million pieces, but she didn’t show it, or her mother might go deeper into her rage.

Ruka nodded. “Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t go near him anymore.”

Ruka blanched. She was shivering in fear, and she held Claire. “I’m sorry, Mom. I won’t ever see him again, I promise.”

Claire angrily slapped Ruka’s back. “How could you do this, Ruka? What did I tell you? We owe the Hussons a mountain of gratitude, and you repay them with… this?”

Ruka’s eyes reddened. She stared at the ground and let her mother hit her. The pain wasn’t physical as much as it was emotional. Tears slid down her cheeks silently as her dreams went up in smoke.
