Sherlyn then strode back to the kitchen.
Marvyn put down his fishing equipment and sat on the sofa lazily, waiting for his daughter to serve him the pork roast.
After some time, Sherlyn brought out the hot pork roast served with some vegetables on the side. "Here, Dad. Try this. How's the taste? I learned to cook this specially for you!"
Marvin was starving so he immediately dug into the pork roast. 'Hey, this isn't half bad!' he thought after taking a bite.
His mood visibly became better after eating some good food. "Not bad, not bad at all. You certainly have a talent for cooking. You should learn more from your mother."
Sherlyn was happy at being praised by her father, but her face fell when he told her to learn more about cooking.
"Dad, I can cook for you from time to time, but I can't cook every day. That would just wreak havoc on my skin, and that's going to ruin any chances I have of getting a movie role."
Marvin became angry again at the mention of movie roles. "You still want to work as an actress? What did I just say to you on the phone? You need to stop dreaming and get a real job!"
"Dad, I'm not dreaming! I used to be a popular actress, remember? You were so happy when I was bringing in all that fame and money. Why don't you support my job now?" grumbled Sherlyn.
Marvin scoffed. "I think you're still dreaming. Who would dare to give you a role in the movie when you've crossed the Holdens? Even if someone dares to do that, it would only take one word from the Holdens to beat you back down."
"Uh… Hi dear, you're home early."
"Did you say something about two women?" asked Marvin with a frown.
"Uh… What I meant to say is…" Lilliana started saying guiltily, but she could not come up with an excuse, so she looked to Sherlyn for help.
"What Mom meant to say is, two of her friends came here to play bridge, but I sent them away. I forgot to tell Mom that they're gone now, so she thought they were still here," said Sherlyn quickly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
