Lily smiled at Terence, "Since Mr. and Mrs. Devereux Senior like a lively atmosphere, and they can't stand quiet for long, I'll let Maryanne stay for a couple of days before going back." "Why aren't you staying at home?" Maryanne squinted her eyes. "Did Dad kick you out? Were you two arguing that badly? Do you want me to go back and take the blame for you?"

"You always say you have thick skin and can take the blame for me, so go ahead and take a few words."

Maryanne rolled her eyes. "My thick skin is for myself. Why should I take the blame for you? Unless you give me more pocket money next month."

She needed more subsidies for Lily. This small place was so uncomfortable for her! Lily had to be out of money.
