The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 225
The next day, Tobias looked at the woman sleeping soundly next to him. He planted a kiss on her forehead. His voice was deep and hoarse when he spoke. "I'm off to work, babe."Lucy responded with a hum. She rolled over to the side and slipped under the blanket to continue sleeping. Tobias saw it and smiled lovingly. Lucy was the one who'd aroused him last night. In the end, however, she'd cried and asked him to stop. They'd gone at it the whole night. She must've been so tired that she didn't want to wake up.So, Tobias tiptoed out of the room. He relayed an order to the maid before he left. "If Lucy doesn't wake up in the morning, prepare some breakfast and take it to her. Then, stay there until she eats it.""Understood, Mr. Ripley."Then, Tobias went to his office for work. He started a video conference. "We have secured sufficient funding for the land development downtown, Mr. Ripley. The construction has commenced as well. We are moving onto the next round of funding.""

It was 4:00 pm when Tobias and Lucy packed up their stuff and went to the airport. They were waiting for the plane in the VIP area when she said, "I saw the official announcement from Ripley Group today, darling. Are you guys looking for someone to be the medical evaluator for your medical conference this year?"Tobias checked their surroundings and whispered to her once he was sure no one was around. "I was going to contact the miracle doctor, Nightshadow. However, my men contacted him and offered him a handsome reward, only for him to reject us."Tobias couldn't help but sigh when he spoke. Lucy raised her eyebrow while he asked her, "Why did you asl? Anyway, Finn told me that you registered for the medical conference. Have you dabbled in the medical industry?"Tobias stared at Lucy profoundly and asked, "Are you hiding more secrets from me?"Lucy responded, "I used to learn some traditional medicine knowledge from an experienced doctor. It's nothing worth noting, though. Faith

Tobias had just gotten out of the luxurious car when he saw a familiar person not far from where he was standing. Was that Chad?Tobias' eyes were laced with coldness. There was a storm brewing in them. "How dare you show yourself in front of me, Chad?"Chad had hurt Lucy deeply. On top of that, he was the reason that they lost their twins. These thoughts filled Tobias with such intense hatred that he had a strong urge to kill Chad. "I'm going to end you!"Tobias took a step forward, about to strangle Chad, but Finn pulled him back and said, "There are a lot of people here, Mr. Ripley. Don't act rashly.""What are you doing here?"Chad was enveloped by a cold, grim air as he stood frozen to the spot. He looked like a gloomy spirit.He chuckled coldly and said, "I'm here for you, Mr. Ripley. Let's have a chat at the coffee shop over there.""Be careful, Mr. Ripley. He might be up to no good."Tobias scoffed. "Let's see what's up your sleeve. Wait for me out here, Finn."He

It just so happened that the female concierge was browsing her phone at the hotel front counter. She was reading the news about Tobias and Lucy, too. At that moment, someone knocked on the counter. She raised her head in confusion. The moment she saw Tobias, she thought she was seeing things!"M-Mr. Ripley…" The receptionist stuttered. Tobias' face turned red with rage, while his eyes were laced with coldness. His voice was chilly when he spoke. "Which room are they in?"She was puzzled by Tobias' question for a second before realizing that he must've meant Lucy and Billy. She was so frightened that she was trembling all over. "T-They're in room 5188."Tobias exuded a cold air as he spoke with absolute authority, "The key card."According to the hotel's regulations, she couldn't give the key card to anyone other than the people who checked into the room. However, this was Tobias. He was the big shot in the entire Azureville. And he was asking for the key now. The receptio

Billy continued to administer acupuncture for Lucy, despite the commotion caused by the other people. He looked very charming when he was focused on giving treatment.Tobias coughed awkwardly.He composed himself and said, "You chose to have acupuncture here, of all places. Anyone would've misunderstood you."Lucy pursed her lips and looked at Tobias pitifully. "I don't want to go through with the surgery, darling. Billy is an excellent doctor. He can develop a new oral medication for my condition."Did Lucy just call him Billy? Heh. It sounded as if they were quite close.Tobias was green with envy, and it showed in his tone when he spoke. "Ripley Group owns multiple hospitals with countless medical specialists. You're free to choose if you want traditional or modern practitioners."Why would you let this man administer acupuncture for you? You're going to get your hands ruined. Let's go, babe. We should go to a professional at a hospital."Billy stopped in his tracks and looke

Lucy glared at him. She would've kicked Billy if her feet weren't covered in silver needles. After all, Billy did have the capabilities to remove someone's tongue in under a minute. She wouldn't just let him harm Tobias!Tobias hesitated for a moment and said, "You say he's Nightshadow. Do you have proof for that?"He was a prestigious figure. Anyone who laid eyes on him would've been struck with fear. However, Billy looked rather cocky. Not only was he not afraid of Tobias, but he'd even threatened him.What if Billy truly was Nightshadow?Billy was about to say something when Lucy grimaced. "What's wrong?"Tobias saw the anguish on her face and asked in a worried tone, "Are you feeling okay?""It hurts so much, darling."Billy saw it and came over to check on Lucy, too. He had just gotten close to her when Tobias grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the floor. Tobias snarled coldly, "How could Nightshadow be this young? You'd better hope that nothing happens to Lucy.

"Why are you coughing, babe? Did you catch a cold?""That's not it. My throat feels dry. I want some water.""I'll get some for you, then."Tobias took away the glass cup in Lucy's hand and turned around to get her some warm water. Billy raised his eyebrow. "Why did you cut me off and send Tobias away?"After Tobias went away, Lucy responded, "He doesn't know that I have medical knowledge. Don't spill the beans."Billy chuckled quietly and said, "Oh, my dear Lucy. You want me to keep your secret, but what's in it for me?"Lucy glared at him and said, "The old man gave me some Zenith Elixir two years ago. I'll give you two vials."Zenith Elixir?Billy had pleaded with his mentor to give him the elixir for many years. However, the latter had played favorites and given it to Lucy instead. Billy had been wracked with jealousy back then. Now, Billy was walking on cloud nine at the thought of owning the only two vials of the Zenith Elixir soon."Okay. I'm going to keep your secret

Lucy didn't understand why Tobias would do something so outrageous. She instinctively wanted to get out of the car to pick up the wedding band.She had just opened the car door a little before Tobias reached out and locked the doors. In a matter of a second, he pinned her on the seat. There was nothing flirtatious about their position at all. Instead, the air was charged with tension. Tobias' face was grim, and the air turned cold immediately. A ball of fury burned within his chest and was threatening to explode. Lucy was stunned by the ferocious look on his face. "What's the meaning of this?"She wasn't blind. She could tell that Tobias was very pissed off now, but she couldn't figure out the reason behind it. Tobias clenched his fists so hard they made cracking sounds. He saw the other shopping bag out of the corner of his eye. Then, he reached out and fetched it here. Lucy was perplexed. Tobias took out two ring boxes from the shopping bag. He opened it and revealed a new

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
