MY BABY’S DADDY CHAPTER 1230

Ruka remembered how flustered and jumpy she had been when they first met. To think, she had gone

from that to missing him even though they had only been apart for less than a day. Now, the idea of

being together with him did not seem half as scary as not having him in her life at all.

She wanted to text him, but she didn’t want to bother him at this hour, knowing that he was probably
