The phone alarm woke Leo813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdKqnMnlE7
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyVJLS7XVr
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f3JT2DHfY
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXxjEgnmr
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjJVFQbC8l
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n6Uk1DybX
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2aUh3q5us
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLex5V43Gaj
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7swl2ETiw7
After taking a shower, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmq3ATbVdv
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBH5QJzCc
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBKxk6gk70
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Csgq2LR2M
ever. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDlexhMIpr
He soon went out of his 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx2EiFhbLm
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakc9BF5zIk
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBBEL3PR7
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIEvHwL9oI
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyrvs9cwoS
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRqQvgDzo
him.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkgNEbWg0a
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAKWFEXuXy
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDSzqJm1sT
"Don't ruin the mood by 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRcuH9gnsQ
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlNYGNJOok
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMFfarAFf
Leo smiled as he 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzUS6DXW3z
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43myf7bnwY
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLos5aLDkVn
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitSVm80fu4
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fu7gbzbG1
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZyd2XkDIU
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nXj5Kv3X
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSseOrolOKr
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugKVNyF3C
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZBcdnfS0J
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TDsFS08UR
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEioz3WbGe
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd19utHs2l
"She is, actually," said813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoJfui7mTf
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIo7NXsKjW
anything to you. You have me around."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBXR94VeMa
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5ghyWh09
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEjwWbeBKk
Before Carly could say 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FRYGCnVt
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vOyVd42zK
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGC3an0CfR
"What was that?" Leo asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRpZ5Qg9ks
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXJuJAtbf
Carly got to Angel's 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGOVnJBee6
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz8ov4XRj2
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhzWQDOK4U
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU8tDrpqlt
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOd3w9GIst
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlC83Y1yxk
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIve8gKzP9C
"You know you're not 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh83d8f8gLw
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp7MZIKqvy
for help. You never change, Angel."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3kmJPkMni
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh7oPiKpIk
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMWBBuaaAU
"No thanks, I'm fine."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmaOnRihzT
Angel went on to look at813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO7d00g7uF
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0mastvW2A
then she went on to stare at Carly.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7g4uog4g
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXEcwXa5B
Carly paused as she 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPMgPfAqf0
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDDfRoN7w
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFuWsK68bV
Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡospoO7vdJ4
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yxsq0cAnK
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFrrS75nT2
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCROJTqLLE
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGOptNG2Xz
hurt or anything."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoGgEN2Ubx
"May you please drag me 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie9nTr20My
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7grVx5izi
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm1vgOlo6G
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPsrvG2QS
"Just like Carly said, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58UrIdmow3
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50N4w7CcS
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEmJ2Vsbf9
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ceUbf7Ho
The room soon had an 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf4WiQwgDC
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNOToa0cmc
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQNXe2aqT
awkwardness.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT21QCnUvh
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuagmP3VATO
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8WysSq8GR
"Sure."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ125TsB24j5
Leo stared at Carly 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMuzqYi8WQ
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hS7xyADo
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOo1rLYScI
avoid any more problems.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON3Hfhyi6J
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS4oSrHtvN
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsxCDiJ1E
"Tea would be lovely, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPVuSCnwpr
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZmyoKEbtI
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj8QCXOxM5
could have helped you."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZeMVUZjew
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqdsQiL7gv
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMvaKG2Vp6
Carly gladly smiled at 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgXPPJo3M
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR9R88xwIz
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3sO8ZZOcz
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XrUDkXUUE
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqJPBTpVv8
And Leo? It was strange 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzLoHJ9zr
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdvazHUOmQ
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFelIem1E9I
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk24FDLESs
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMu0D0zOBF
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfemZ7U62
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVk0HxKv5M
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H8W42rGQ6
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Y3os8rTZ
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVq6X7zCse
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSgVpM6UiW
While Amanda and Angel 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53DiJlF7Nu
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07uoHsFtzP
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Lln9N1GZ
at the door.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJp1gWHkF
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrZoSoIXYu
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w9SV1AnMD
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ432vhNvs1k
"No, she didn't." Carly 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslkKSX2Wyv
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaUntR4K0R
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7QEuxIW11
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mi2x2w7V
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF9WqJROlX
"I don't care about 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGMRNQ4M1f
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrOwCrcH7r
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfXSdd8kCI
are real."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s0P226gTp
Carly smiled and she 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWirArkh8OU
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKZ2OqSCLD
that she didn't want him to let her go.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbKxrL193F
She quickly turned 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFnoLH5VoJ
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8PSwIK2nJ
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Pbx5jm5A
They would freak out."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJg3wOg4Bg
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhY7BotKO
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk6c8d2gH2
Leo continued to look 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDugQ3YpJEv
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbd7moRj0x
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7IfdU1QU
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMREPJOUxa
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVQiDjgsRu
"What's going on here?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01eZaY0Njy
Leo and Carly almost 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2VV4dVVof
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7KQqCiNO
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK5EHEYFpb
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkI9NBFCYQ
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRailQeFri0
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLnWBU9blg
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0jpjPoMBp
"For Amanda and Angel."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD6emvbDjd
"They are both awake?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Y0DuHdZS
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf7bHAKqRb
Mrs McDonell looked at 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYhxkXyD3M
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYgDLxm1SP
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsOxmniUdu
off.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fx0y2pv0l
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXB54XsK8E
Carly took the tray 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdVdwpa9up
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMT0Dke7RS
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMUOcqHrvA
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsWew7sCve
corner.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejYrvuokp
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPpYashRpu
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZqI0MiSTq
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEt9GaNCvu
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxye18ZgIUe
Leo made his way to the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfjWoqxPx
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4NUuIAHQ2
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqH3ZAivsc
By seven, almost 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpucXuZJKc
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKQThlBxdq
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5vcb4onpF
the lovely smell was intoxicating.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4SvzpBZad
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsE4R5QewG
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnygjHx0Ub
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwFDC7lCbq
time to go to school.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXm3XcHIwt
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY9ucj4GIY
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafhTpvfG5d
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRutTXnBh7
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJQSHJ7XN4
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV28z5Odf2
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3zilUPsMu
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCHVNzQEX2
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPVOJR1VrS
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGWaTLAXWf
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNuhavDFec
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRVoxRqsEi
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9bAMovKv9
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkNMvZ4yhL
them.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXilg4jheE
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3krm3NEaIc
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMAT3nqaQc
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHlJjpR3JM
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVil4Ve5mCb
"Right," Leo replied.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl4PfEQSqD
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaBmxJnmj
Just as they were about 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkCef7z3A
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJotlFHHcJ6
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHUY0TBVcb
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcwG3vWdR9
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnyLmwbDxm
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EO82UTQ1F
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4p6cGbr8k
Before Leo could reply 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrEcKYe9CM
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd4CdubDuJ
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSS5tf9gN1
looked away feeling irritated.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJZiaZ2suN
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oiMlkbtNQ
Everyone else on the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAq4pjztRl
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGFoWEgWrz
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq7dHHFm9X
except Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtycjQk8J6H
"This is just lovely," 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIeaaPP2NZ
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWyqkUtLfy
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRy3PIv4uw
really early."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAXQxnG0F
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3Ki2uoRpR
"Your wife isn't here, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJxTJVNbLP
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3uywgu14d
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp785PUYSn
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPM2IjBejl
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pv8o1u5xX
Angel almost spelt the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AwgXqX3XH
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3h4UDLF0s
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMsM757PG2
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoYoKfxr2K
just ran a hand through his hair.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ523LFT8R2U
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ZhAWyHxq
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvwtfhy0xP
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9taKW95F5J
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeGZ2dESeV
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvqwEODr8l
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡootDkCfKHj
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2qK66UiDr
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc8XPaFD5Q
"Have to go to school," he said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk7yeWFkNk
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb1gObZJfh
Oliver came round the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZpmGH4CaE
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk4BhBEiUd
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gFbJjUMX1
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPzTHRVpT6
ears.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IvnCR4BN
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbN9BHNorz
"So adorable," said Carly.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NKdgvYpd3
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYG9tYoEO
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwQB4TgzF5
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4DVWdK6XY
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFmJa1oXgJ
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Nnjv0u7C
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXoVBO0Qtv
"Well, I do."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq41I74O9a
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9l14cSyIA
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgEL5RNIUf
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8uRQSAJk
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd716HBssBd
"I'll find you in the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5CG0PNm2V
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b4kXYrD6w
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoWQJ2gBdD
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMzO8dkSLu
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzjvbGoxBr
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6wEIrIBu
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl52avQc7O
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrPYnB2Uvr
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf4juMFQ2N
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNih4omH0Hn
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzWT0PANt3
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tscUWXlNQ
Before Carly could 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWpthgUYdU
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXb7Q1TxbT
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2c3DMi7R
interested about what her sister was up to.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyNkMGqYdG
"I'll join you," said 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG5PHiBjrM
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZbel6S8N
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxCn5QgBIh
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFaqnPFvvO
"I'll go get ready," 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajBEDhSKC6
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPftllsCx
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfs8uwDWvJ
times.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiNSD7c9eo
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9X8CWB6zW
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdSHzfHy6
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nBrvOTfhg
The last thing Leo 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3xzSsfdZ
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoYZKjKrLF
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSclPDwYn
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc9Uics78H
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdCEvn7uqq
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLz9v6tmzJ
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKLeVNjypT
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBvDd4Vp6L
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpTvxTtz9d
"Yes. It's really 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoJOFMhnmb
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtW95NWWK3
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeXeY7KiQi
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegcDweQmP
since I'm so old."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtubCsLk7KX
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf2Qfgy1k6
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJV0svd8Md
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2x151mBi2
Leo sighed. He looked 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvlOAbkhWl
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYxVVRHOR4
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyBptJQUIh
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5v0g81bO0
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv0u27vJdN
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
