Chapter 1783 "Yes, that's right! | thought Sherlyn invited my two friends in," said Lil liana, 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! | don't have enough money for you to throw around on your bridge game!" "Marvin, it's not like | lose every day... | actually won quite a bit of money today. Plus, I'll be bored out of my mind if | stay at hthe 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 | have won't be enough for you two if you keep spending like how you're spending!" "What right do you have to talk tolike that? You don't have a job either. All you do is fish all day..." muttered Li lliana in a small voice.

Even so, Marvin still heard what she said. He glared daggers at her and said, "What did you just say? | 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 spork 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. Leavealone. I'm already annoyed enough that | didn't get any fish today." Sherlyn's eyes flickered. "Oh, | 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 cback." Marvyn was really interested in the fish. "Really? How che didn't tell me? I'll go to his house now!" "Sure, go ahead. I'm sure Mister Harvey will be happy to have you over. We can even get a few ornamental fish if you like them," said Sherlyn.
Marvin quickly gobbled his pork roast and went to Harvey's house.
Sherlyn sighed in relief after he left. Liliana had gone to the kitchen to prepare dinner by the tshe turned.
Sherlyn went to look for her and said frustratedly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Li lliana took out svegetables from the fridge. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm preparing dinner for your father ! I wonder what got into him today . He's grumpier than usual. I'm thinking of cooking his favorites so that he'll stop lashing out at US. By the way, Sherlyn, when did you learn how to cook the pork roast?"

Sherlyn snatched the vegetables away from Lilliana and threw the 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 | work so hard to get him out of the house?"
Liliana wiped her hands on the dishcloth. "So where are they now? Don't tell me they're still here?" " They are . They're her , inside the house.
| was afraid that Dad would see them, so | locked them up inside the attic."
