The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 55
Noticing Tobias' distrust, Lucy felt a slight pang in her heart.Her eyes dimmed with sadness. "Tobias, regardless of whom I meet, I've never betrayed your trust. What do you mean by questioning me like this?"Had he found out about her meeting with Chad last night?With an inquisitive gaze, Tobias stared deeply into her eyes. His commanding presence made it impossible for her to evade his scrutiny, and even the slightest flicker of guilt in her eyes didn't escape his notice.His heart turned to ice, and it twisted painfully."What do I mean?" Tobias sneered. "You know I don't want to end up like my parents. If you've done something to betray me..."What would he do then?Divorce was out of the question, but his pride couldn't bear the thought of infidelity. Tobias' emotions were tangled at that moment, leaving him deeply conflicted."What are you going to do? Divorce me?"Tobias said, "I'll offer you one last chance."Lucy sighed softly. "Tobias, please hear me out. Last nig

Anna wondered why Sasha had asked whether Tobias and Lucy were really falling for each other. Could it be that Tobias and Lucy were in a contract marriage? As Anna thought about this, she felt as though she had stumbled upon an important revelation! She took out her phone and turned on the recording feature.Meanwhile, Lucy was taken aback by Sasha's analysis. Even though she and Tobias had known each other for less than three months, the mere possibility of them falling in love filled her with a strangely sweet sensation.She grappled with conflicting emotions but still rationalized Tobias' behavior. "How could Tobias be jealous? He's probably just asserting his masculinity and felt embarrassed, which is why he questioned me!"Sasha said, "Lucy, you're just in denial. Admit it, you've fallen for Tobias!"Lucy lowered her head. Despite her calm facade, her heart raced furiously. "We've barely known each other for three months. How could I possibly have feelings for him?"Sas

Upon hearing Tobias' voice, Lucy felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. She took a deep breath, opened the door, and entered the room.Before she could utter a word, Tobias asked, "Have you figured out what to say?"He had been waiting for her to tell the truth. As long as she explained everything clearly, he might forgive her.Lucy was caught off guard for a moment. She then nodded and said, "Yes, I'll explain everything to you. Last night, I did meet Chad briefly, and we talked for a bit. But it was completely innocent; I did nothing to betray you.""Oh." Tobias' response was coupled with a subtle, sarcastic grin. "Then, why was his cologne's scent lingering on you?"This detail had greatly unsettled Tobias.Lucy was genuinely surprised. Chad had only hugged her for less than two minutes. How could the scent of his cologne linger on her so persistently? Was it accidental or intentional?Lucy awkwardly said, "As I was leaving, he suddenly hugged me. That might be why…"Hal

"Tobias, I heard you wanted to see me. Do you miss me?" As soon as Anna stepped into the room, she flirtatiously sat on Tobias' bed as if she were about to pounce on him. However, Tobias gave her a cold glare.That gaze seemed capable of crushing her to dust.Anna froze in her tracks, standing firmly by the side. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"Tobias took out his phone and retrieved the text messages he had gotten from an unfamiliar number earlier. Tossing the phone toward her, he asked, "Did you send these messages?" Anna's gaze flickered. "Tobias, I'm not sure what you're talking about...""You know how much I hate lies and cheating," Tobias said with a steely gaze. "Given our history, I'm offering you one last chance."He had evidence to back his words. The person he had assigned to track Lucy had also spotted Anna, leading him to suspect that she might have been the one behind the message.Anna cried, "Tobias, please don't blame me. I saw you being a

Upon hearing Anna's complaints, Brett and Rhett looked at each other in astonishment.Brett said, "Ann, you're the precious daughter of the Eberhard family. What kind of man is beyond your reach? Don't concern yourself with a lowlife."Rhett added, "That's right, Ann. Forget about this scumbag. We will find you someone more trustworthy."Anna replied, "Brett, Rhett, my boyfriend is not a scoundrel. He was momentarily deceived by that woman. He genuinely loves me, but he felt obligated to marry her. We are the ones who truly love each other. Brett, Rhett, please help me..."Brett and Rhett realized that was how things were!"Do you have a photo of that woman? If what you say is true, we’ll find a way to contact her and have a proper talk.""I have one. I'll send it over!""Alright."After ending the call, Anna forwarded the photo.As the two brothers viewed it, they were shocked. Wasn't this Lucy Everhart?Rhett exclaimed, "How could it be her? How could such a radiant woman p

Lucy was taking a bath when she heard the phone ring. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before answering."Hello.""Hello, is this Ms. Lucy Everhart?" The voice on the other end was very pleasant."Who is this?" Lucy asked, puzzled."Hello, I'm Brett Eberhard, the president of Eberhard Group. I came across the video of your impromptu design online, and I think you have incredible potential. I'd like to discuss a multimillion-dollar collaboration with you. Could we arrange a face-to-face meeting?"Lucy's eyes narrowed. Potential collaborators would usually contact her assistant first, but this person had reached out to her directly.Had he investigated her beforehand?Lucy asked, "How did you get my number?"Brett was taken aback for a moment. This woman was composed and not easily swayed by the lure of profit. Interesting!"Ms. Everhart, how I got your contact information isn't important," Brett replied smoothly. "What matters is the substantial salar

"Mr. Ripley, do you suspect the couple online aren't Mrs. Ripley's parents?" Tobias nodded. "Keep an eye out for everything. Go handle it.""Sure, Mr. Ripley."Tobias gazed at the sky as the plane flew farther away. Thinking of Lucy leaving his side, he suddenly felt an unexpected emptiness.…The next day, before Lucy met Martin and Rosa, she spoke to them over the phone. They said that they would wait for her under the pine tree at the Bearclaw Village's entrance.As Lucy approached the village's entrance, she saw the two of them. They were dressed plainly and had wrinkles on their faces.Whenever Lucy thought about her long-lost parents, it felt like needles pricking her heart. Yet, when she saw them, an inexplicable calmness washed over her."Lucy!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Rosa rushed forward and hugged Lucy, weeping uncontrollably.Martin, who was equally emotional, added, "My precious Lucy, we've finally found you..."Lucy awkwardly hugged them back and said, "Mr. an

What Lucy didn't realize was that some villagers had recorded her visit to the village and posted the footage online with the caption:#Mrs. Ripley's Reunion Follow-upAfter Anna returned to Eberhard Residence, she spotted Rhett in the living room, engrossed in his phone. Quietly, she tiptoed over and playfully covered his eyes. "Guess who.""Ann!"Anna deliberately pressed her chest against Rhett's, her eyes lingering on his handsome face. Fortunately, there was no one else in the living room to witness her obvious infatuation."Well, that was no fun. You guessed right away."Rhett took her hand and sat her beside him, asking, "Ann, are you tired after the flight?"Anna shook her head. When she caught a glimpse of the video playing on Rhett's phone, her eyes flickered. "Rhett, I'm not tired. Are you watching the news? It turns out that the woman who tried to seduce my boyfriend found her biological parents, yet she still despises them for being poor. Shameless."Rhett subtly

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
