Chapter 86

Toby was looking at some charts on his tablet when he heard Jean’s words, which made him frown a little. Tina had been glad to see Jean’s attempts to bring Toby and her closer to each other, but her heart sank the moment

shaking her head. “We can forget it since Toby doesn’t want to do it. There are tons of other rooms in the Fuller

Residence. I can just stay in another one of them.”

“But.” Jean was still rather dissatisfied; she wanted to continue talking about it.

Then, Tyler threw the core of his apple away before he dusted his hands. “You should just forget it since that’s
