Chapter 1636


    “Uncle Frederic, I’m here to visit you,” Bokir said with a broad smile.


    “Visit me? You’re here for my antiques, aren’t you? Hahaha…” Frederic burst intoughter 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?” Bokir 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 nonchntly.


    However, it bothered Bokir, and she 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 he was smiling ear to ear.


    The customers seemed to know Bokir as they came over to greet her.


    “It’s you, Ms. Townsend. You haven’t been to Old Master Dous’ antique shop in a long time.”


    “It’s been months since Ist saw you. What have you been up to? Have you been helping your father


    with his business?”


    “You’re ady. Don’t get into the weapons business. That’s not a girl’s job. Visit Old Master Dous


    more often when you’re free. This shop will be yours sooner orter.”


    Bokir did not know how to answer so many pleasantries all at once.


    Benita looked on, and only now did he realize how popr Bokir was.


    Just then, Frederic suddenly looked at Benita.


    “Girlie, this is…”


    “Oh, he’s my friend. His surname is Ludwig…” Worried that Benita’s cover would blow and scare


    Frederic and the customers, Bokir could only say hisst name and not his full name.


    Benita didn’t mind, either.


    He nodded and said, “Just call me Mr. Ludwig.”


    “Haha. Mr. Ludwig, what’s your rtionship with Lill?” Frederic asked without beating around the bush.


    The old man is so direct!


    Can’t he be a little tactful?


    However, Benita was not particrly concerned about it.


    He nced at the people around him before looking at Frederic and saying calmly, “I’m just Ms.


    Townsend’s friend. I’m only a regr friend.”


    “Oh, only a regr friend. I thought she’d finally met someone.” Frederic burst outughing.


    Bokir’s cheeks were red as she looked shyly at Benita.


    “Uncle Frederic, stop it. How would I be Mr. Ludwig’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?” Bokir


    asked instead, not wanting to dwell on Benita’s identity or her rtionship 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 Benita.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    She knew Benita 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.
