The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 126
Lucy questioned, "This is mine and Tobias' room. How did you get in here?"Lucy was riddled with conflicting emotions at the sudden turn of events. She believed Tobias, but her heart was rattled at the sight of the blood on Maya's leg.She went ballistic.Maya wailed, "I don't know. I only drank so little last night. When I went to look for water in the middle of the night, I must have come into the wrong room. Perhaps… Mr. Ripley mistook me for you…"Lucy bit her lower lips. Her gaze turned extremely cold.Tobias looked at her sternly. "Babe, believe me. I didn't touch her. Even if we were fast asleep, how could we not sense that someone entered our room? How could I touch her after I had fallen asleep?"Lucy nodded. She could sense that something was fishy."I just heard shrieks from Brett's room earlier. Did something happen?""Let's get up and see what's going on!"Tobias got up and looked at Maya coldly. He said, "I'm going to help my wife change. Please leave!"Maya cov

The atmosphere at Ripley Residence instantly became tense. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, and no one noticed the smug glint that flickered in Joey's eyes."Since it has already happened, it's useless to talk about it further. You can discuss how to handle your situation amongst yourselves, Mr. Brett and Ms. Zahler. For now, let's settle the situation between Tobias and Maya."Joey said, "Lucy, Maya is the Hudsons' only child. Now, Tobias has robbed her of her innocence, so he should marry Maya. "You should understand this situation and forgo your position. We can discuss how much alimony is appropriate to compensate you."Joey scoffed to herself, disgusted by the idea that Lucy, a barren woman, would be shameless enough to stay in the Ripley family. She should know her place and scram.When Lucy heard this, her face drained of color. "Mom, what did you say?"When Tobias heard Joey, his face turned pale as he stood up. "Mom, I told you—I won't treat my marriage as a chi

Amid the chaos, Lucy calmly agreed to Joey's suggestion. Everyone was dumbfounded; even Joey hadn't expected this outcome. She had thought Lucy would struggle relentlessly.Joey said happily, "Lucy, I'll take your word for it. You can't go back on it!"Tobias was confused. "Lucy, do you know what you're saying? I've never changed my mind. Why did you give up?"Tobias thought she had said that she liked him. So why had she given up so easily? Perhaps her feelings for him weren't as deep as he had thought.Everything about Lucy had been ingrained in him for a long time without him knowing. He had never wondered if he loved her.However, he felt inexplicably disappointed at the thought of how shallow her love for him was.He thought Lucy was his wife. Spoiling her was a gentleman's responsibility, so he had never held back his affection for her. Whether he loved her had never been important to him.But why had she given up on him? Did she not like him anymore, or was she disgusted

Lucy felt sad and heartbroken after arguing with Tobias. She also felt guilty about what happened to Sasha. Yet, doubt began creeping into her mind when she heard what Sasha had said."Do you feel any discomfort in your body? Or…"Lucy glanced at the Eberhard brothers. What she was about to say was relatively private and not for men to hear.So, Lucy gave Sasha a look, and both of them went to a corner. "Do you feel any pain in that area?"Sasha shook her head and said, "I slept pretty soundly last night. I don't feel any pain in that area.""Is this not your first time?"Sasha's face turned bright red. "What are you talking about? Of course it is! I never even had a boyfriend before."Lucy continued asking, "This is weird. After the first time, it should hurt like your were run over by a car. Why don't you feel anything? No matter how I think about it, something feels fishy. Also, was there blood on your body?"Sasha said, "I didn't have any blood on my body, but there was b

Just then, Sasha said, "Let's go, Lucy!" Lucy retracted her gaze. She felt heartbroken at the thought of leaving Tobias.Lucy said gruffly, "Okay."The group turned to leave. A dark glint flickered in Tobias' eyes as he watched Lucy leave. He curled his lips devilishly. "Lucy, it's too late for you to escape. I will make sure you come back to me."After saying that, he turned and left.…Lucy and the others went to look for Emily and Miles. After receiving their call, Miles rushed to the agreed-upon location promptly. When he got there and noticed that Faith was there too, he stopped in his tracks. His face turned pink as he blushed, and he was unsure what to say.Emily noticed that he had arrived. She smiled suggestively and looked at Faith as she said strangely, "Oh, you're here, Mr. Chadwick."Miles coughed awkwardly."Good to see you, Mr. Chadwick. Have a seat!"Emily managed to drag Miles, who was clueless about what to do, over. She made him sit beside Faith."Mr. Cha

After Maya's check-up, Joey and Maya rested on the seats in the hospital corridor.Joey held Maya's hand and said, "Thank you for what you did last night, Maya. The Sheltons will invest greatly in the Hudsons' latest project. Don't worry about you and Tobias. I will find a way to get him to marry you." Maya lowered her head. Her bangs covered most of her face, hiding the emotions swirling in her eyes. She said sadly, "Joey, Mr. Ripley seems to love his wife greatly. Will he marry me?"Joey snorted and said, "He will have to, even if he doesn't want to."A glint flickered in Maya's eyes. She said, "Joey, you promised to return Hudson Group 30% of our shares if I marry Mr. Ripley and produce an heir. You won't go back on your word, will you?"Joey said, "What are you talking about? When have I lied to you before?"Joey may have reassured her, but a glint flickered in her eyes.Maya's lips secretly turned into a smirk, but she quickly plastered an innocent look when she looked at

Once Joey and Maya returned to Ripley Residence, Joey headed to the study and handed the report to Tobias.Tobias read the report and said furiously, "How is this possible? I never touched her. Something is wrong with this report!""Maya and I went to get her checked and waited for the results before coming home. How could there be anything wrong with this report?" Joey argued, "No matter what, you must take full responsibility for what you did to Maya. I will handle that Eberhard girl."Tobias stood up with a loud thump. He coldly inched closer to her, his body exuding an intimidating air. "If you dare touch even a strand of her hair, I will make sure you never step foot in this place again!"Joey shuddered at Tobias' threatening tone.Joey's voice was shaking as she immediately softened. "Tobias, don't get so worked up. I never said I'd hurt Lucy. I'll speak with her nicely and see what she thinks. Then, we'll decide what to do."After Joey assured him, Tobias restrained of the

Maya was about to explain how the Sheltons controlled the Hudsons. However, the door suddenly swung open just as she was about to blurt the words out.Joey brought a plate of fruits. She gave Maya a warning look. Then, a smile formed on her face when she turned to Tobias. "Tobias, you must be thirsty from your chat. I've personally cut a plate of fruits for both of you. Enjoy."Tobias frowned and said displeasingly, "Mom, don't you know to knock before you enter?"Joey laughed. "I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll go now and leave you two to it."Joey turned, looked at Maya, and said in a warning tone, "I'm warning you—watch your mouth!"A glint of fear flickered in Maya's eyes as she received Joey's warning look.The Hudsons could only survive with the Sheltons' help. Joey owned 30% of Hudson Group's shares, while her relatives possessed various amounts of Hudson Group's shares, as well. Now, the Sheltons owned two-thirds of the Hudson Group's shares.Maya's father, Quinton Hudson, had m

Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

"Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
