Frank’s expression instantly changed when she heard that.
She has reddened with embarrassment a moment ago, but her cheeks were now ghastly pale. She knew Omas had misunderstood her.
He must have thought that she had brought him here so that Frederic could join forces with others to pressure him into making a promise and even marrying her.
Although it was not what she had in mind, what Frederic did just now and what other customers said must have made Omas think that way.
Frank hurriedly defended herself. “Mr. Rowan, it’s not like that. You misunderstood. I didn’t…”
“Hmph. Why tell him that? Does he deserve you?” Frederic pressed on Frank’s shoulder and told her earnestly, “Girlie, you‘re Paul’s daughter. Your father, Paul, is one of Dorodo’s best weapons dealers. You’re no ordinary person. No matter how much you like this guy, you can’t indulge him like that! You must let him know who has a higher status!”
Frank panicked even more at Frederic’s remark.
“Uncle Frederic, it’s not what you think it is. Mr. Rowan and l aren’t what you think we are… Oh, you’ve messed things up!”
However, the more Frank denied it, the more Frederic believed it. Not only Frederic but everyone in the shop thought the same.
Frederic turned to look at Omas, his expression haughty yet serious.
“Young man, Lill is not an ordinary woman. Don’t treat her like one. I’m sorry to say, but you’re lucky she’s interested in you! Do you have any idea how many people are after Lill? Do you know how many people went to her house to ask for her hand but were chased out by her father, Paul?”
“I don’t know. And I don’t want to know…” Omas shook his head slowly.
Frederic instantly flew into a rage at Omas’s statement.
The other customers in the shop looked at Omas in shock.
