Toby fell silent.

He reached up to massage his temples with his fingers. “Never mind then. Can’t be helped if you can’t find it.”

If she didn’t know the identity of the thief, he couldn’t possibly force her to retrieve the bag.

“I’m so sorry for causing trouble again, Toby.” Tina bit her lip and apologized with red eyes.

Now that he saw her like this, Toby responded in the gentlest voice possible, “It’s not your fault. Don’t take it to heart.”

“That’s right, Tina. Listen to Toby,” Titus coaxed.

Julia nodded as well.

Tina smiled through her tears when she realized that everyone was comforting her. “Okay, I know.”

“Oh, yeah! Toby, do you have any idea on how to deal with Tina’s case?” Titus asked as he looked at Toby.

Toby dropped his gaze. “You’ll find out tomorrow.”

Upon sensing Toby’s reluctance to spill the beans, Titus was a little upset, but he didn’t probe further.

It was a quiet journey in which they arrived at the Gray Residence half an hour later.

Then, Titus and his family exited the vehicle.

Toby rolled down the window and looked at them. “Titus, Julia, please take care of Tina.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Julia replied with a smile as she patted Tina’s head.

Even though Titus didn’t say anything, he looked like he agreed with Julia’s words.

Toby looked at Tina again. “Rest well at home and I’ll swing by during the weekend to pick you up.”

“Okay, Toby. Have a safe journey.” She nodded.

He grunted before he turned the car around to drive away.
