Chapter 171

Titus didn’t answer that. Instead, he asked darkly, “Where’s Tina?”

“She’s in her room,” Julia answered.

Titus squinted for a moment, then he went upstairs.

His inexplicable anger was making Julia’s heart pound with fear. Did Tina do something to get on his nerves? Worried about her daughter, Julia quickly followed him upstairs.
