The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 249
Lucy and Rhett couldn't help but chuckle at what Kate said. Lucy said, "Blood brothers are meant for men, Kate. I'm a lady.""Oh…" Kate looked like she understood what Lucy said, but she didn't fully grasp it.Rhett went straight to the point. "Lucy, if you're okay with it, I can make you my godsister. That way, I can look after you in the future."Lucy blinked. She hadn't thought he would be this straightforward. In fact, she also felt a deep connection with him. When she saw him, she felt like she was seeing her own family.She wasn't totally against the idea of making him her godbrother. However, she was a little sad about how coldly Brett treated her. Her eyes darkened. She said, "I appreciate it, Rhett. You probably shouldn't make any decision until after you talk to your brother."Rhett wasn't about to discuss it with Brett. He intended to do it first before letting Brett know about it. "We're all adults here. We made our decisions after careful consideration. There's no

Kate burst into tears when the burly, middle-aged man with an axe seized her. "Save me, Mrs. Ripley!""Don't move, Kate. Calm down. I'm going to save you!"Lucy took a deep breath. "We can talk it out, mister. Let her go, now. She's just five years old, for God's sake!"Lucy tried getting closer as she spoke. But the man held the axe and said in an agitated tone, "Stay back. I said stay back, all of you!"He brandished his axe, looking like he was about to chop Kate's head off at any given moment. Lucy saw it, and her heart leaped to her throat. Although Kate wasn't her daughter, she'd spent substantial time with her. She loved Kate for how smart and adorable she was. Naturally, she wouldn't want anything to happen to the little girl. The people around them also screamed ceaselessly. More than half of them ran away. Only the bolder people stayed at the scene. Some of them recorded the whole thing, while some of them called the police. Lucy put her hands up, signaling to the m

The axeman's behavior swiftly caught the attention of the media and the police, who rushed to the scene.At the scene, the police tried negotiating with him through a loudspeaker, persuading him to release the hostages. They tried convincing him to turn over a new leaf. However, the axeman didn't open the door—he continued to imprison Lucy and Kate in the small pantry in the coffee shop.The lights in the pantry were turned off, and it was dark around them. The airtight environment made it hard to breathe.Lucy and Kate's hands and feet were tied with ropes. Kate's neck was bleeding, and she was about to pass out from the claustrophobic space.Lucy heard the police from the outside. "Listen to me, whoever you are. Please release the hostages. As long as the hostages are safe, we can discuss any terms you want…""Get Tobias Ripley here! I want to speak to him! Otherwise, I will kill them!"Tobias?Lucy's heart dropped. Initially, she thought she had been overthinking it. To her

"What did you say? Lucy is being held hostage?" Tobias' face drained of color, and his eyes widened. His heart was about to jump out of his body when he heard Lucy was held hostage."Damn it!" He would obliterate anyone who dared to hurt Lucy."Send me the location!"Tobias received the location Finn sent and sprinted to his car. It was as if the vehicle grew wings and zoomed off in the blink of an eye.In the car, Tobias asked, "What is going on? How did she get held hostage? Who is this person? Have we done a thorough check on the guy?"Finn replied over the phone, "The police have identified him as a 50-year-old man, Simon Lombardi. He requested that you speak with him at the scene.""Is he after me? Who sent him?"He had always attracted hate when he got in the way of someone's plans in the business field, so he was often the target of malicious schemes."Mr. Ripley, I found out through my investigation that he was the resident who posed an obstacle to our Pentacirclet Av

Everyone present had been riled up at first. Only God knew where Tobias got such authority from, but his statement instantly silenced everyone.Simon was unafraid of him and shouted, "Okay, I'll let you talk. You should come clean to everyone and explain how you forced the demolition and penny-pinched our compensation for the demolition!"Tobias scoffed at his statement. His smile slowly turned grim, as if he were covered in a layer of frost, giving off a cold and ruthless air.Simon was so terrified by Tobias' demeanor that he staggered backward. But since he hadn't gotten what he wanted, he continued to shriek, "What are you smiling at? The police and media are here. Let's see how long you can stay arrogant. "Are you scared? If you are, pay me the compensation for the demolition right now! If I don't receive eight million dollars, you can kiss demolishing my house goodbye!"Tobias quirked his eyebrow disapprovingly. "Who are you to negotiate terms with me?""Y-You…" Simon wa

Everyone was confused and unsure what had happened in the coffee shop. Suddenly, the door flung open.The police were on guard as they aimed their guns at the entrance of the coffee shop. However, to everyone's surprise, Lucy appeared before everyone's eyes."Babe!" Tobias shrieked and rushed to her. Seeing that, the police put down their weapons."Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?" Tobias held her shoulders and looked her up and down.Lucy was covered in dust. A black substance was on her face, making her look like a cat. She blinked, her eyes glistening like the stars in the night."I'm okay, darling. I heard what he said, and I'm so furious. He was distorting the truth and lying. I couldn't take it anymore and turned back to whack him!""Turn back?" Tobias quirked his eyebrow; he had noticed a keyword in her statement."Yeah, we had escaped before he noticed. Then, I crawled back in and gave him a piece of my mind!"Everyone around them buried their faces in their ha

At a corner, Rhett's wrist was bleeding when he had grazed it during his fall. He didn't care about his bleeding wrist and rushed to them, asking, "My dearest sister, are you okay?"Tobias held Lucy up. He heard how Rhett addressed her and glanced at him. Then, he retracted his gaze and looked at Lucy again.During that dangerous moment, Tobias hadn't been able to push Lucy away in time, so he could only hug her in his arms. Even if Simon's blade came at them, it would only hurt him!However, he had never expected an accident to happen—Simon's blade had grazed Lucy's and Kate's arms."Shit, you got hurt in the end!" He had risked his life to save Lucy. He felt guilty and blamed himself as he saw that she was hurt."It's okay, Tobias." Lucy noticed the blood on his arm, making her heart ache terribly. She asked in shock, "Darling, why are you bleeding?"Then, Tobias realized that his hand had started bleeding without him noticing. However, it didn't hurt much, so he said nonchalan

Lucy didn't know what Tobias had in mind. Confused, she asked, "We're only mildly injured. Why do we need a blood test?"Tobias explained, "Who knows what might go wrong? It's better to be safe than sorry. It won't take much to get a check-up."Rhett wanted to get another DNA test done with Lucy but didn't have the opportunity to get Lucy's blood or hair sample. Now, the opportunity was right before his eyes.So, he played along and said, "Mr. Ripley is right. We should get a blood test. Who knows if there was anything wrong with that man?"Since they had both said so, Lucy had no choice but to follow the majority."Okay."As they conversed, they arrived at the hospital, and the group exited the ambulance. They placed Kate, who was still unconscious, on the gurney. After running a series of tests, the doctor said she was in shock and would potentially stay unconscious for some time.Then, the adults went to get a blood test done.…Joey hadn't seen Tobias since the latter ha

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
