Chapter 144 They Are Just Friends!
As Lilly looked around Flynn’s stall of antique curiosities, he sipped on his tea and sneered at Lilly.
What’s a little girl doing here pretending that she’s an antique expert?
All of a sudden, Lilly took a yellow object and smashed it against the ground.
“What are you doing, Lilly?” Bettany yelled in horror.
“I’m testing it, Grandma,” said Lilly matter-of-factly.
“You don’t test things by smashing them.”
“This is a tree resin from a specific tree. If it is a century old as it says here, it will never break. See?”
Lilly recited what Pablo taught her.
Flynn raised his eyebrows. It sure seemed like Lilly was an expert here. Lilly picked whatever she
fancied and put them in the basket Anthony prepared for her.
Both Anthony and Lilly were enjoying their moment until they heard the familiar voice. “Mr. Crawford!
You’re here!”
Prisci looked at Anthony as if she just discovered a treasure. So full of joy she was that she failed to
realize Flynn was there.
Before Flynn could say anything, Anthony rebuked Prisci’s advance. “Are you done? We are not
epting your apology. We will not press charges either. So stop pestering us.”
“But the preschool fired me. All because I failed to look after Lilly,” said Prisci with teary eyes.
Anthony mocked, “You were fired because you were found dating three men at once. You set a bad
example for the kids. It has nothing to do with Lilly.”
Bettany rolled her eyes. “You’re shameless, aren’t you?”
“But I…” Prisci said weakly.
“I know what you want. Your apology is not genuine,” added Bettany.
Meanwhile, Flynn was stunned.

Dating three men at once? Isn’t it just Shawn and him? And besides, Prisci isn’t dating Shawn. She
only acts like she is Shawn’s girlfriend because he is depressed.
Prisci didn’t notice the standing Flynn. A rack stood between them. She said in a hoarse voice, “Mr.
Crawford, Old Mrs. Crawford, this is a misunderstanding. I don’t have three boyfriends. I’m not like
that.”
Flynn let out a sigh of relief. He knew Prisci wasn’t a three-timer. But what Prisci said next proved
how wrong he was.
“I’m still single. I don’t know what boyfriends you are talking about.” Prisci shook her head frantically.
“Mr. Crawford, why would you say those nasty things to me?”
Single? Flynn couldn’t believe what he just heard. What were they then?
Anthony looked at the ever-forgetful Prisci sullenly. Hemented, “Don’t you have Shawn, Flynn,
and Sam as your boyfriends? Moments ago, you were with Sam.”
Lilly gazed at Anthony, and then at Prisci. Pablo told Prisci that she needed to gather all three
boyfriends to capture the harem spirit. Now, she needed two more. Right then, Lilly noticed the
approaching Shawn and Sam.
Prisci insisted that she was innocent. “You’re sorely mistaken, Mr. Crawford. They are just my
friends. Shawn is a colleague of mine and we get along very well. Flynn is just a caring friend. He once
bought me lunch and that’s all. And Sam, I’m not close to him. I ran into him in a shopping mall and we
chatted briefly. Everyone has the wrong idea. They are just acquaintances. I swear!”
Prisci then decided to go all out. “The one that I have a crush on is you, Mr. Crawford!”
In her mind, Anthony was osting her because she was too popr with the guys. He could not
stand the sight of another man standing near her.
Oh, he wants me so terribly!
As Prisci’s eyes fluttered with anticipation, she saw Flynn, who was behind Anthony. Then, two
familiar voices appeared behind her. She gasped.
“So I’m nothing to you,” Shawn said bitterly.
Sam was devastated. The girl who slept with him yesterday just said she didn’t know him! “Peachy,
you…”
Prisci’s face was as white as a sheet. All her boyfriends heard her. Lilly, on the other hand, found
Prisci’s rapid changing of emotion funny.
“Why are you here?” Prisci blurted out.
