Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman ) novel Chapter 1206

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1206

She pointed at Ruka. “I-I can’t believe you did something so foul. You disappoint me. You’re supposed to be my daughter. Scarlet’s your godmother. How could you even do this?”

Ruka was shocked. She had no idea what her mother was talking about, but seeing her so sad made Ruka sad too. “C-Calm down, Mom. We can talk this through.” She tried to hug Claire.

Claire shoved her away. “Tell me, why are you dating Ren? What were you thinking? You’re not supposed to be a gold digger.. You’re not supposed to date someone just because they’re rich, so why did you?”

Ruka blushed even harder, but then she blanched. How did Mom find out about that?

“I saw everything. You hugged and kissed him. How could you do that? Have you no shame? He’s your uncle! You’re tarnishing our name!” Claire was still crying from anger. She was furious and disappointed.

Ruka was panicking. She was too ashamed to face her mother. The girl pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her mother’s disappointment was too heavy for her to bear. She had no idea how to console Claire either.

She didn’t even have the courage to tell her the truth. There was no way she could tell her that they were in love with each other, and not because she was seducing him. That would just make things worse for Mom.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I’m sorry I disappointed you,” she apologized. Ruka was on the verge of tears as well.

“How far have you two gone? Did you…”

“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 realized things were not as simple as she thought. There were too many things to take into account, for example, her parents being indebted to the Hussons because they raised her.

“Do you have any idea who Ren is? He’s the VP, and what you’re doing is going to ruin his future in the political scene!” Claire felt her heart getting crushed by anger again.

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.
