AIBU about this with bf?

Bf and I have been together over 2yrs. He's met my DC because he occasionally stays over when they're around, but I haven't met his DD (12) because she's against the idea of him having a gf, which I've been fine with because it doesn't seem to affect our relationship for now.
He's been on holiday this week and sent me photos. One of them was with her sitting on his lap, her holding him around the neck and his hands around her waist. Another was at a restaurant with them sitting next to each other and her left hand reaching over and holding his right hand if you know what I mean.
In both of the photos she looked at the camera unsmiling in a very "he's mine" kind of way.
AIBU to feel weird about this? I do hope that we will live together one day, but honestly after seeing these photos I don't see how that will be possible and I feel like cutting and running (but that's my default reaction, which is why I'm asking for opinions).

I would end the relationship. It all sounds a bit weird and I don’t think you’ll ever get introduced to his daughter.

We briefly discussed living together and he mentioned that he'd like us to get a bigger place together rather than move in to my tiny 2 bed.
When I asked about his daughter not wanting him to have a girlfriend he said it's because "she thinks she's my girlfriend"?🤷🏻‍♀️

Yikes.

I've experienced this. It's a Freudian mess. I know it can be easy to tell yourself you're overreacting but the photos have simply shown you something you already know.
