The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye Chapter 65
Martin overheard the conversation while eating, and his temper flared instantly."What nonsense are you spouting? Who's abandoning whom? I bet you're envious that my daughter has married into wealth. That's why you're saying this, you petty-minded woman!" Martin said, ready to throw a punch."I'm simply stating the truth. If Tobias Ripley knew the kind of people his in-laws are, he wouldn't even acknowledge you! I'm warning you, don't even think about laying a hand on me. I have strong backing!"Lucy quickly pulled him back. "Dad, please don't make a scene. It'll only make us look ridiculous, okay?" She was slightly annoyed."Lucy, she implied that your husband will leave you because he dislikes us. Call him and ask him directly, see how he responds."Lucy felt somewhat embarrassed by Martin's unreasonable behavior."Dad, Tobias is really busy. Please don't make a scene. Let's finish eating, and then I'll take you both to rest, okay?""Ha, I see you're feeling guilty, huh? I dar

"Sienna, please don't cry. Where are you? I'll come to you right away."Sienna provided an address. Lucy then turned to Martin and Rosa. "Mom, Dad, I need to step out for a bit. Please rest well and call the hotel staff if you need anything.""Alright, go ahead and take care of what you need to do."Before leaving, Lucy was still worried. It was their first time at the hotel, and she feared they might have trouble with the unfamiliar surroundings. She spoke to the hotel staff and gave them a tip. Then, she asked them to keep an eye on Martin and Rosa and call her immediately if anything happened.After taking care of everything, she finally drove off to find Sienna.…In Tribe Tavern, Sienna sat alone in a private room, channeling her sadness into a ravenous appetite. Tears streamed down her face as she devoured her meal.She reached for a bottle of beer, ready to drink, when Lucy burst into the room. Shocked by the sight, Lucy exclaimed, "Sienna, what are you doing?"She rus

"Thanks, Lucy," Sienna said.Lucy held her hand. "You don't need to thank me. I want you to promise me one thing, though—don't tell anyone that I'm Alicia."Sienna didn't understand it. "Why are you hiding something like that when it's a good thing?"Lucy smiled without saying anything. Sienna didn't probe further. "Well, alright then. I'll keep your secret a secret."Lucy hugged her. "Thanks.""Now that's how things should be! You're capable, Sienna, so you should focus on your career. When you start earning big bucks in the future, you can get yourself a few sugar babies. Piss that bastard off!" Faith poured a glass of wine and two glasses of juice. "Let's toast to that, girlfriends."The three women picked up their respective glasses. "Cheers!"After downing her drink, Faith said, "It's boring that I'm the only one drinking alcohol.""Well, we're both pregnant." Lucy and Sienna exchanged a look and smiled at each other. Then, they both turned to look at Faith.It made her h

Lucy drove back to Riverwood Residences and helped a distraught Sienna get settled. By the time they were done, it was already midnight. Lucy held Sienna and said soothingly, "Stop thinking about it, Sienna. Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow will be a brand new start!"Sienna returned her hug and said, "I'm glad to have you by my side, Lucy. Don't ever leave me."Lucy rubbed her back and said gently, "I'll always be with you, silly. Now, it's time for bed. Things will only get better from here.""Okay." Sienna shut her eyes. Half an hour later, her breathing evened out.Seeing that she was fast asleep, Lucy tiptoed lightly as she headed to the bathroom to wash up. Unbeknownst to her, once she was gone, Sienna slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze was empty and dispirited.…Lucy had just finished washing her face when her phone rang."Hello, am I speaking to Ms. Everhart? Could you come over to the hotel? Your father's causing too much of a ruckus, and we can't stand him anymore

Martin was sprawled on the couch. Lucy's roar frightened him and made him roll off. He dug his ear and chortled at her. "You're back, Lucy. Why are you so loud? It's not like I can't hear you!"Lucy gave him an icy look before gazing around the room. The lavish presidential suite had now been trashed. There were burn marks everywhere, and most of the furniture had been destroyed. Her blood boiled at the sight.Rosa hurried forward to hold her arm. "You're finally back, Lucy. Your father insisted on starting a fire in the room so he could make some smores, leading to a fire in the room. It's my fault for not holding him back."Martin gave Lucy an innocent look. "You can't blame me for that. Who would've thought that I couldn't even start a fire in such a posh place? I'd be better off in my own home back in the village!"Lucy said icily, "I'll talk about you destroying the hotel's property later. Now, I want you to tell me why you harassed the hotel's employee!"Her daunting prese

"W-What rules?" Martin was frightened by the grim look on Lucy's face. He had thought he could perpetually use the fact that he had given everything up to search for her as an excuse to reap benefits for himself, but it looked like Lucy wasn't buying it.To ensure that he wouldn't end up losing money, he had no choice but to give in. "I'll agree to anything you want as long as you're willing to help me!"Lucy said icily, "Remember that you're the one who made that promise. "Now, listen up—from today onward, if you get involved in any social evils—that means pornography, drugs, and gambling—that'll be the end of our relationship. I'll cut all ties with you!""Don't you worry about a thing, Lucy. I just lost my head for a while today; that's why I made a mistake. I swear I won't get involved in any of those things!" Martin promised."I can't take your word for it, so let's draw up a written agreement for this. Since the police are here, they can act as witnesses. That way, you wo

As far as Tobias could remember, Lucy was occasionally gentle and occasionally like a wildcat. This was his first time seeing her pout like this. He smiled faintly and held her jaw lightly. "Look at that pout. Why don't you tell me what's going on in that head of yours?"He honestly couldn't understand women. Lucy scoffed and slapped his hand away. She turned away from him and said, "Nothing's going on. You wanted to order food for me, didn't you? Get me something local."He narrowed his eyes and appraised her. What was she mad about? Had he said something to piss her off? He racked his brains but couldn't think of anything he had said or done that could have upset her.He had dropped his work to rush over to the hospital to care for her, so he was a good husband, right? What else was there that she wasn't happy about?Tobias was a genius when it came to business, but he had no idea what to do when facing a woman. Ultimately, he said, "Alright, then. I'll go order something."

Lucy gave the matter a long, hard thought. Then, she answered, "I probably do have feelings for him. Why else would I be upset over him not caring about me?"Tobias smiled when he heard this. He felt pleased. On the other hand, Axel's eyes dimmed. His heart prickled with pain.Tobias said, "Who says I don't care about you?"Lucy hadn't expected him to be standing by the door and listening to her conversation with Axel. She immediately flushed. He entered the room with a bouquet, threw Axel's one into the trash and put his into the vase.His actions were domineering and overbearing. It was as if he was sneakily showing Axel who was boss. He said, "Thanks for visiting my wife. I need to care for her now, and it'll be inconvenient with you around." He was telling Axel to leave. Axel said awkwardly, "You guys go ahead. I should get going."Once he was gone, Tobias sat by the bed. Lucy had her head bowed; she used her fringe to conceal the fluster in her eyes. He tilted her hea

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
