“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 favonovel.com finished speaking.
Even though favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com quickly said, “Uncle Frederic, don’t talk nonsense. You’ve got many years to live!”
“You’re such a sweet-talker.” Frederic was so happy that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com be a little tactful?
However, Sean was not particularly concerned about it.
He glanced at the people around favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com relationship with him.
After all, the more you talked, the more you gave yourself away. Besides, favonovel.com was worried Uncle Frederic and the other customers would upset Sean.
She knew Sean well enough to know that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com gave away. How shameless…” Frederic scolded.
