The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 151
If memory served him right, the last time someone had begged to become Lucy's mentee was when they had been in Faldoria. The lady was a famous designer in her country. Tobias had been amazed back then. After that, a lot of things had happened, and he hadn't had the chance to ask Lucy about it. So, the matter had been left unresolved.Now, he heard "Alicia" begging for Lucy to take her in as a mentee. Aside from being shocked, he was also amazed.According to his investigation, Lucy was an ordinary woman. How did she have what it took to take these extraordinary people in as her mentees?Was it possible that his investigation hadn't been thorough enough?Tobias was still stuck in his thoughts when he heard Lucy's voice. She rejected Sasha coldly. "That's a no. I don't intend to take in mentee now."Sasha was disappointed. She sighed and begged Lucy, "You have been guiding me for so many days, Lucy. Every design I submitted to Ripley Group was drawn under your guidance. "I mig

Tobias frowned when he heard what Lucy said. A hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes."Did the DNA test result come back negative? That's not possible!"`Tobias had confidence in his employees' capabilities. There was no way they could have made such a mistake.He was in disbelief. He forgot that this information would disappoint and upset Lucy a lot. He said to her, "There has to be something wrong with this DNA test."Lucy looked at Brett and Rhett. She bit her lips and lowered her head in silence. In a matter of a second, things got awkward.Rhett said, "The test result might tell us that we aren't related by blood, but we have spent some time with Lucy recently. I can tell you that I love her from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Ripley."The moment Rhett said it, Tobias' eyes darkened. He gave the former an alarming look. "Did you just say that you love Lucy?"Rhett sensed the hostility in his tone and waved hastily. He explained, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Ripley. I love Luc

Maya didn't understand why Joey cared about that. However, she didn't dare to ignore the latter's question. "I overheard them talking just now. I think they're going to do the DNA test again."Joey heard what she said and was wracked with nerves. "They're thinking of doing it again?"Maya responded, "Yeah."She didn't understand why Joey sounded so panicked. "Is there anything else you need, Joey?""Did you hear about some other information, Maya?"Maya pondered on it and said, "Brett and Rhett said that their long-lost younger sister has an emerald pendant. That's all I know, Joey."Joey heard what Maya said and mulled it over for a brief moment. She had never seen Lucy wear an emerald pendant. Lucy could've hidden it away or lost it.Joey said, "Thanks, Maya. Come over to Ripley Residence tonight. I made you some soup.""I appreciate that, Joey. I'll be there soon."Once both of them ended the call, Joey pondered on the situation and had a headache. Her efforts would go to w

"Birthmarks?" Brett and Rhett swapped glances. "Hmm. There's a red birthmark behind Lulu's ear, as well as on her left clavicle. Moreover, she carried an emerald pendant—our family heirloom. "If you find someone that checks all the boxes, you have to do the DNA test," Lisa said.Both of them nodded solemnly. Brett responded, "Don't worry, Mom. We'll do everything we can to find our younger sister."Lisa sighed and looked worried. She couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought of her beloved little girl having no place to call home. Tears streamed down her cheeks as her heart sank. "Don't be sad, Mom. We'll find her.""Lulu's birthday is around the corner. I have no idea if she has had any proper birthday celebration ever since she got lost."Brett and Rhett became disheartened instantly. Both of them gave Lisa a warm hug and comforted her wordlessly. She was old and easily exhausted. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. Both of them left the ward quietly a

Brett shot Rhett a warning look. The latter couldn't care less about it. He pushed Brett away and helped Marcus sit. "You have to listen to us and stop throwing fits, Dad. I'll bring her here after she's recovered from her injuries."Marcus said in an agitated tone, "How did she get hurt? Who dared to hurt Lulu? I'm going to make sure the person who did this pays for it!""That person is already put behind bars, Dad. She has gotten her comeuppance. Calm down and lie on the bed."Marcus relaxed after he heard what Rhett said. However, he didn't lie down for long before he stood up yet again. "You have to take me to her now. Is she hurt badly? I used to dote on her when she was a child. I was worried that she might trip and fall. "I'm sure it's very painful for her. Take me to her quickly, Brett. I need to blow on her wound."Marcus mistakenly addressed Rhett as Brett. It made both of them exchange glances. Their eyes were filled with indescribable pain."You're going to spook

"Do what you want. In any case, Lucy isn't going to be a part of our family," Brett said before he turned and left. Rhett picked up his pace and followed him. At the same time, Lucy rested for a long time at the hospital. The doctor told her that she could be discharged and rest at home instead. So, Tobias arranged for a car and carried her to the wheelchair. He was ready to take her back to his villa to look after her. However, he received a call from Joey when he reached the entrance. He looked at his phone and frowned in frustration, but he answered it eventually. "Hello.""Mariam and Cedric have come to visit us, Tobe. You should come home tonight so we can hang out.""Cedric? Isn't he overseas a few days ago?"Mariam Munoz was Tobias' aunt, and Cedric Ripley was his cousin. Both of them had grown up together and were close to each other. "They came back yesterday. At first, I invited Mariam over for dinner, but Cedric heard about it and wanted to tag along.""Sure."

Tobias said, "Mariam and Cedric are nice. They'll love anything you buy for them.""Really?" Lucy was doubtful. She asked, "Mariam must be a pretty lady. I'm sure she likes to take care of her figure and skin. So, I'm going to buy her some skincare products. Women usually love this stuff."Tobias hummed in response. He wasn't that interested in women's skincare products."What about Cedric?""Here's the thing about him." Tobias chuckled and said, "He had always been dorky and dull. He loves reading books. I think he'll like it if you buy him some popular books."Lucy nodded. "Great. I'm going to need you to wheel me around so I can buy them gifts, darling."Tobias saw how mischievous she was and chuckled. "What if I say no?"Lucy was surprised. Then, she gave him a pitiful look, as if someone had hurt her. "I'll have to ask someone else to help me, then.""Tsk. Don't you know that you'll make me happy by kissing me? That way, I'll be more than willing to wheel you around for sh

Joey and Mariam sat on the couch. The former was irritable. She checked the time and looked out the door occasionally. Meanwhile, Mariam drank her tea leisurely. She was calm and graceful.On the other hand, Cedric stared at a family picture in the corner and went into a trance. His eyes darkened when he saw his own father's and Zayne's individual pictures. "Mr. and Mrs. Ripley are back." Everyone came to their senses when they heard Walter's voice. They directed their gaze toward the door. Joey said, "You're back, Tobe. Hurry up and greet Mariam and Cedric."Tobias nodded and responded, "Okay."He wheeled Lucy gently and carefully into the living room. At first, Cedric rested his gaze on Tobias. They had grown up together, and it had been many years since they had last seen each other. Both of them smiled as they glanced at each other. However, Cedric's smile was obviously different from before. It was too bad that Tobias was fully focused on Lucy and didn't see it. T

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
