The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

With that, Tobias prepared to leave.Faith got up and ran after him. "Please wait, Mr. Ripley. No matter who you're having a meeting with, Alicia will still be the one working with you. I'm sure that your time is very precious, so won't it be better if we draft a contract first?"Tobias paused in his footsteps. Turning around, he glanced coldly at her. "I won't repeat myself."With that, he turned around and walked away. Left alone, Faith began to panic."Why is he so unreasonable?"Faith wiped her tears as she called Lucy. "Lucy, how are things on your end?"Lucy replied, "I'm at the police station, and they're looking into it. What's the matter?""The CEO of Ripley Group thinks he's the king or something! He insisted on having a meeting with you in person.""Well, it's an order worth billions of dollars, after all. I can understand why he's erring on the side of caution. Ask them to schedule a meeting another time. When I've settled things here, I'll go to the meeting right a

When Lucy heard the retreating footsteps outside, she returned to her senses first. She pushed her hands against Tobias' chest as she resisted.However, to Tobias, Lucy's efforts were no more than tickles. It only served to stimulate his hormones even more. As he pressed further, Lucy felt her mental fortitude gradually crumble.As she thought of the other night, Lucy wrapped her arms around Tobias' neck and began kissing him back without realizing it.Upon noticing her response, Tobias became even bolder."Wha—"Someone entered the restroom. When he heard the noises in the cubicle, he clicked his tongue. "Damn, they're doing it even in toilets! Can't they just get a room?"The man slammed the door on his way out.Tobias and Lucy, who had just been getting passionate, suddenly came to their senses.Screaming, Lucy shoved Tobias away as she fell onto the floor.Her clothes were torn open, revealing the skin underneath, which was covered in hickeys. Even her lips were swollen.

What guest?Tobias, who was enjoying his meal, had a puzzled look on his face.When Howard and Agatha heard that Lucy had fainted, they were so anxious that they tried to rush upstairs. However, Tobias hastily set down the cutlery in his hands. "Grandpa, Grandma, calm down. I'll go upstairs and have a look.""Tobias, Lucy is our esteemed guest. Do not mistreat her in any way.""Don't just stand around and do nothing. Call 911!"The maid hastily called 911 while Tobias went to the guest room upstairs. He spotted someone who had fallen on the floor. He stepped forward, about to pick her up, when he noticed the drafts scattered on the floor.It was an emergency, so Tobias didn't examine the drafts before picking the woman up. It wasn't until he had brushed her messy hair away from her face that he realized that she was that gold digger!"Why is she here? How could she be the guest?"Just then, Howard and Agatha arrived at the scene as well. "Tobias, how is Lucy doing? Why di

Tobias had a throbbing headache. "Ann, I'm sorry!"He told Anna everything that had happened. On the other end of the line, Anna was in disbelief. "How could this be?"Her face turned pale. "Tobias, you won't marry her, right? I'm quitting my job as a celebrity. I love you, and I want to be with you. Don't marry her, please. We're the ones with true love, aren't we?"On the other end of the line, Anna felt extremely nervous. She would never tell Tobias why the mixup had happened that night!Feeling troubled, Tobias pinched between his eyebrows. He had a bitter feeling in his heart as he said, "Ann, I'm sorry. It's my fault.""Tobias, let's announce our relationship. Let's get engaged, okay?"Tobias had dated Anna for three years, but they had never made their relationship public. Anna had said that being in a relationship was taboo in the entertainment industry. But now, she was panicking.Howard, who was listening in on the conversation, snatched the phone from Tobias' hand.

Before Lucy realized it, Tobias had approached her. Reaching out, he grabbed her chin and forced her to look him in the eye."Woman, you should know better than to take advantage of the mercy shown to you."Scoffing, Lucy said stubbornly, "You're the mighty Mr. Ripley, but you refuse to apologize for your wrongdoings. If word of this gets out, I wonder who will feel the most ashamed."They were very close to each other, and as they spoke, their warm breaths fanned across each other's skin. It made them feel quite warm and uncomfortable.Lucy's heart began to race without her knowing it.They were just inches away from each other. Lucy suddenly recalled the passionate kiss in the restroom the other day. She couldn't help but gulp.Noticing something off about the deep gaze in Tobias' eyes, she said warily, "What are you doing? Stay away!"Tobias gulped. Then, he kissed her on the lips.Lucy's eyes widened. Why was he suddenly kissing her?Startled, she tried to push him away, b
