came out.

Caroline understood immediately. She had been taking care of him for a while now and knew what he needed.

“Do you need to use the restroom? Just wait…” She was about to get up and head to the bathroom when Francis tugged at the hem of her dress, frowning and slowly shaking his head.

She understood what he meant, yet she didn’t.

“Francis, I’m your fiancée. It’s pretty much like we’re already married, just without the paper to prove it. Let me help, okay?”

Francis just frowned deeper, shaking his head again.
