Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Shotgun Marriage: She's the Apple of His Eye: Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 240

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

"Tobias, I'm explaining myself, but you just won't listen. It doesn't matter what I say—you'll just think that I'm wrong, and you're right. I can't reason with you!"I don't want to talk to you right now. You can calm down by yourself!"Both of them were infuriated after the fight. Lucy had never thought that there would come a day when Tobias would mindlessly accuse her. Tobias noticed that Lucy was getting out of the car. He instinctively grabbed her hand, but he was worried that he was too rough and might've hurt her. So, he withdrew his hand again. "Where are you going?"Lucy said angrily, "Mind your own business!"She felt so sorry for herself. She had sacrificed so much for Tobias, but he was actually doubting her love for him. He must have a screw loose!The more Lucy thought about it, the more sorry she felt for herself. Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned on her phone's flashlight and searched for the pair of wedding bands in the bushes. "I told you. Forget ab

Tobias was confused. "Who is that?"Walter said, "The daughter of the Hawkins family, Ms. Fiona Hawkins!"Speaking of the devil, the catalyst that had instigated the conflict had just shown up in person. Tobias narrowed his eyes, his voice dangerous as he said, "Let her in.""Tobias!" Joey's voice had a hint of panic. "Why are you letting her in?"Joey felt unexplainably nervous, as if the secrets she had been hiding for decades were about to be exposed at this very moment."She'll be such a killjoy. You should send her away." Joey tried her best to stop Tobias from meeting Fiona."I listened to the both of you argue about her all the time when I grew up. I want to meet her and see what kind of woman could come between both of you! Walter, bring her in.""Okay."After a while, Walter brought Fiona to the living hall.Fiona wore professional attire and had medium-long hair. She looked refined, even at her age.When she entered, Joey was as defensive as a porcupine with its qui

Tobias arrived at Howard's bedside at the hospital. Howard was about to head to bed. He'd never thought Tobias would appear before him. He was perplexed."Why are you here, Tobias?""Grandpa, why didn't you tell me you were hospitalized?"Tobias was anxious about Howard's condition. He held Howard's hand, feeling extremely worried for him.Lucy said with concern, "How are you feeling, Grandpa? Do you feel any discomfort?"Tobias said, "Grandpa, why don't we let the doctor run a full-body examination on you? Why did you stay here? Why don't we admit you to a hospital under Ripley Group?"The couple was sincerely concerned for Howard."I'm okay. Don't worry about me." Howard held Tobias' and Lucy's hands and stacked them together. He didn't know Tobias and Lucy had argued again. However, when Tobias and Lucy's hands were clasped together, something was off between them, but neither pulled away.Howard spoke from the bottom of his heart. "However, I'm old. I could leave this wor

Joey wanted to say more on the call, but Tobias had hung up.Joey's heart dropped. She called Tobias again. After two beeps, a voice came through the phone. "Sorry, the person you called is unavailable."She was like a deflated balloon. "Zayne, what should I do now? Our son blocked me.""He is still furious. Contacting him now will anger him more.""What if he announces to the public that he is disowning me?"Zayne struggled to answer her. There was no point in Joey being angry with him when things had reached such a point.If she didn't act fast, she'd bring disgrace to the Sheltons and become a laughingstock when Tobias announced the news.Joey collected herself as she thought about it and said, "I'm hungry, Zayne. Can you get me food from downstairs?"Zayne didn't give it further thought and agreed.After sending Zayne away, Joey called Ross. "Dad, the cat's out of the bag. Tobias found out I was the reason his grandfather was hospitalized. Now, he wants to have nothing to
