The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1783

"Yes, that's right! I thought Sherlyn invited my two friends in," said Lilliana, playing along with Sherlyn.

Marvin believed what they said. However, it just made him hate his wife even more. "Is bridge all you can think about all day? From now on, you're to stay at home! I don't have enough money for you to throw around on your bridge game!"

"Marvin, it's not like I lose every day… I actually won quite a bit of money today. Plus, I'll be bored out of my mind if I stay at home the whole day…"

Marvin scoffed. "It's either you and Sherlyn stay at home, or both of you go get a real job! All the money I have won't be enough for you two if you keep spending like how you're spending!"

"What right do you have to talk to me like that? You don't have a job either. All you do is fish all day…" muttered Lilliana in a small voice.

Even so, Marvin still heard what she said. He glared daggers at her and said, "What did you just say? I dare you to say it louder!"

Seeing that her parents were about to fight, Sherlyn immediately tried to defuse the situation. "Hey Dad, there is still some pork roast in the oven. Do you still want some? If it's not enough, I'll get Mom to make you more tonight."

Lilliana calmed down too after taking her daughter's lead. She squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, Marvin. What do you want to have for dinner tonight? I'll cook anything for you."

Marvin's anger faded a little at their cajoling. "That's enough. Leave me alone. I'm already annoyed enough that I didn't get any fish today."

Sherlyn's eyes flickered. "Oh, I just remembered something! Mister Harvey from next door just bought a large aquarium, and he filled it with lots of rare ornamental fish. They're really quite beautiful. Do you want to go check them out? I'll stay here to help Mom with dinner, and it'll be ready when you come back."

Sherlyn snatched the vegetables away from Lilliana and threw them aside. "Mom, now's not the time to be doing all this! Have you forgotten there are still two suspicious women you still need to deal with?"

Lilliana frowned. "You're right! Where are they now? Did your father see them?"

"Of course not! Why do you think I work so hard to get him out of the house?"

Lilliana wiped her hands on the dishcloth. "So where are they now? Don't tell me they're still here?"

"They are. They're here, inside the house. I was afraid that Dad would see them, so I locked them up inside the attic."
