The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 135
Tobias turned and left to go to his study after saying that, leaving Maya shocked.He angrily locked himself in the room. Frustrated, he pulled his hair at the thought of Lucy's determination.His phone rang with a call from Finn. He answered, "Hello.""Mr. Ripley, I've found the relevant professionals to come to Ripley Residence to investigate the matter. Should I bring them now?"Tobias had been suspicious about last night's incident, so he had instructed Finn to find a professional to investigate the matter. However, after his fight with Lucy, he was consumed by anger."There's no need to investigate this matter anymore.""Huh?"Finn was confused, but he didn't ask further. He asked, "Okay. Oh, the hospital called and said that Mrs. Ripley and the Eberhard brothers' DNA report is ready. I'll bring the report to you."Tobias was so furious that his heart ached at the mention of Lucy. "That won't be necessary!" He said coldly, "You don't need to bother about Lucy Eberhard anym

Lucy was devastated. Her heart hurt so much that she struggled to breathe.Sasha noticed how devastated Lucy was. Without saying a word, she pushed Lucy away in her wheelchair, but Rhett went forward and stopped them. He said, "Lucy, the DNA results may have come as a surprise, but I've already treated you as my own sister. If you're willing, you can recuperate with us. We will take good care of you.""Rhett!" As Rhett finished speaking, Brett protested to stop him.Rhett looked at him, confused. "What's the matter, Brett? Don't tell me you hadn't been treating Lucy like our sister the whole time."A guilty look crossed Brett's eyes. However, he stubbornly said, "I only believe in science. The results stated that she isn't our sister. You can't grow soft-hearted and treat everyone well."Brett's statement was cutthroat enough. Then, he added, "Plus, our house isn't a shelter!"Initially, Lucy had felt comforted by Rhett's thoughtfulness. However, Brett's statement made it feel

"Pretend that you're sick!"Shaun said, "If a couple stays married and the husband is sick, the wife needs to take care of him. "When that happens, you just claim that everywhere you touch hurts and ask for a kiss or hug from her to make it better. Your relationship will improve once you spend enough time glued together."Tobias was skeptical. "Are you sure this will work?"Shaun nodded confidently. "Of course. It may be embarrassing, but it works. As long as you're shameless enough, you will stay married."His persuasion convinced Tobias, as he started to get some ideas. "You're right. As long as I'm shameless enough, I will stay married!"After the conversation, Tobias called Finn and said, "Finn, I'm drunk. Ask my wife to come and take care of me."Finn, who was on the call, thought his ears were playing tricks on him."Mr. Ripley, you said never to mention Mrs. Ripley again. Why are you…"Tobias changed his mind way too quickly.He pulled a long face and said, "Don't be

Walter paused for a moment. He didn't want to share the address of Tobias' private villa with someone else. However, out of nowhere, Joey appeared and said, "I know where Tobias' private villa is.""Why aren't you asleep, Joey?"Joey gave Maya a look and said, "How can I sleep when your situation hasn't been settled yet? Since Tobias is heading to his private villa, you should head over to care for him."Maya tried to appear shy. "Thank you, Joey.""Madam Joey, I don't think this is appropriate. Mr. Ripley doesn't like anyone barging into his private villa without permission."Joey glared at Walter and reprimanded him coldly, "Is Maya an outsider? She will be the lady of this household from now on. We don't need you here. You can go now. Also, I will send someone to take Lucy to the private villa."Walter wanted to say something, but Joey shot him a warning look. He had no choice but to leave.Joey wrote the address of Tobias' private villa on a note and handed it to Maya. She s

Normally, a designer would never sketch with others present. However, Emily and Sienna were present while Lucy instructed Sasha about what to sketch.The four of them were friends who shared everything, so Lucy wasn't wary of them.Lucy said to Sienna, "I can't lift my hand, so Sasha is sketching for me."Sienna walked to Lucy, hugged her shoulder, and said, "Go on then. I'll stay here with you guys tonight.""Okay."Lucy felt her mood slowly uplifting with Sienna's presence.She was filled with inspiration. Every sketch she instructed Sasha to draw was unique. Sienna's eyes glinted as she watched them work on the side.It was over an hour later that they finished a few sketches.Holding the sketches, Sasha asked, "Lucy, look at them again and see if these need any amendments."Lucy reviewed the sketches and said, "Submit the designs to Ripley Group for a preliminary review. If there is a need for any further changes, let me know."Sasha said, "Okay, no problem!"Sasha kept

Tobias' heart started to palpitate at the sound of Lucy's voice coming from outside the door. He had done nothing wrong, but he was afraid Lucy would misunderstand. So, he immediately covered Maya's mouth and gave her a warning look."I'm showering, babe. Wait a minute."Tobias's voice calmed Lucy's anxious heart. However, she was worried that he was too sick to open the door, so she suggested, "Tobias, Walter told me you were sick. You must feel awful. Why don't I come in and take care of you?"As Lucy spoke, Tobias grabbed Maya in one hand while covering her mouth with the other, frantically looking for a place for her to hide.He thought it wouldn't be appropriate to hide her under the bed.He wanted to hide her behind the curtains but feared she would be discovered. At this moment, Tobias was like an ant on a hot pan. His nerves were frazzled.Maya, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber. She didn't like Tobias, but their situation made it look like they were about to

Lucy grew more suspicious when she heard the noises from the bathroom. Tobias started to become anxious."Tobias, the noise came from the bathroom. I'm afraid someone is breaking in. Why don't you take a look?""Okay, I'll check it out, babe."Tobias sighed in relief when he noticed she didn't suspect him of cheating. He covered her with the blanket and walked toward the bathroom.However, he barely took two steps before Lucy said, "Wait, Tobias. Take a weapon with you in case the thief barges in."Tobias couldn't help but chuckle. His private villa seemed empty, but it was secure. No one without authorization could enter it.Joey must have helped Maya to get in.Tobias' gaze turned coldly as he thought of how out of line Joey was. Then, his eyes softened when he looked at Lucy again."Don't worry, babe. No one can hurt me."As Tobias turned, the smile in his eyes turned into a chilling glare.In the bathroom, Maya was triggered when she heard Lucy and Tobias' sweet exchange.

Maya was terrified of Tobias but knew Lucy was his Achilles' heel. If she could successfully come between them, Tobias wouldn't go against the Hudsons. Otherwise, her time back at home would be a living hell.Tobias was taken aback by Maya's sudden accusation. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with rage. He retorted coldly, "Nonsense! I never did anything to you."Tobias feared Lucy would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "Don't believe her, babe. There is nothing between she and I.""Nothing? Then why am I in your bedroom? And why do I look like this?" Maya scoffed. "Ms. Everhart, he's cheating on you with me. Now, he wants to appear like a righteous man before you. You'd be a fool to believe him!""You!" Tobias was livid.Lucy's head throbbed as she looked at them.She had been shocked when Maya suddenly emerged from the bathroom. She had initially thought that Tobias had betrayed her, and her heart had been in agony.Then, Tobias' persistence had shaken her assumpt

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
