I can&#8217;t imagine he has secretly taken care of me like that.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what, I just can&#8217;t believe that Frances is such a sweet guy.<\/p>\n<p>However, he admits it and I have to believe him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, you bought me dinner and put it in my lunchbox in the afternoon?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At that time, our lunchboxes were placed together. So, it&#8217;s not difficult for Frances to get mine.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, high school ends 30 minutes earlier than us.
