"Uncle Frederic, I'm here to visit you," Lillian said with a broad smile.
"Visit me? You're here for my antiques, aren't you? Hahaha..." Frederic burst into laughter once he finished
speaking.
Even though he said so, Frederic did not mind and quickly said, "I just got a new collection of antiques a few days
ago. Some of them are quite interesting. You can take them if you like them."
"How is that appropriate?" Lillian said bashfully.
"Oh, we're a family. I don't have many years left to live. If I don't give you my things, am I supposed to take them
into my grave with me?" Frederic spoke his mind nonchalantly.
However, it bothered Lillian, and she quickly said, "Uncle Frederic, don't talk nonsense. You've got many years to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlive!"
"You're such a sweet-talker." Frederic was so happy that he was smiling ear to ear.
The customers seemed to know Lillian as they came over to greet her.
"It's you, Ms. Townsend. You haven't been to Old Master Douglas' antique shop in a long time."
"It's been months since I last saw you. What have you been up to? Have you been helping your father with his
business?"
"You're a lady. Don't get into the weapons business. That's not a girl's job. Visit Old Master Douglas more often when
you're free. This shop will be yours sooner or later."
Lillian did not know how to answer so many pleasantries all at once.
Sean looked on, and only now did he realize how popular Lillian was.
Just then, Frederic suddenly looked at Sean.
"Girlie, this is.."
"Oh, he's my friend. His surname is Lennon..." Worried that Sean's cover would blow and scare Frederic and the
customers, Lillian could only say his last name and not his full name.
Sean didn't mind, either.
He nodded and said, "Just call me Mr. Lennon."
"Haha. Mr. Lennon, what's your relationship with Lill?" Frederic asked without beating around the bush.
The old man is so direct!
Can't he be a little tactful?
However, Sean was not particularly concerned about it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe glanced at the people around him before looking at Frederic and saying calmly, "I'm just Ms. Townsend's friend.
I'm only a regular friend."
"Oh, only a regular friend. I thought she'd finally met someone." Frederic burst out laughing.
Lillian's cheeks were red as she looked shyly at Sean.
"Uncle Frederic, stop it. How would I be Mr. Lennon's type... Enough about that. Uncle Frederic, didn't my father give
you an ancient bronze sword? Is the ancient bronze sword fragment still here?" Lillian asked instead, not wanting to
dwell on Sean's identity or her relationship with him.
After all, the more you talked, the more you gave yourself away. Besides, she was worried Uncle Frederic and the
other customers would upset Sean.
She knew Sean well enough to know that he was not the type to enjoy noise and excitement.
"So you did visit me because of an antique... What's the matter? Did your father ask you to retrieve the ancient
bronze sword fragment? Why is your father so stingy? He wanted back something he gave away. How shameless..."
Frederic scolded.
