The phone alarm woke Leo487Please respect copyright.PENANATQ2xt2vZgh
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on487Please respect copyright.PENANAxlGzw5nitJ
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 487Please respect copyright.PENANAPf38A6EmGh
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 487Please respect copyright.PENANASeQXGfb1Cj
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 487Please respect copyright.PENANAoBKERibbz3
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAS4At04WgRe
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 487Please respect copyright.PENANAZC6WozT9Qr
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 487Please respect copyright.PENANAzOmFvXr1ak
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.487Please respect copyright.PENANAGgJFVxKqU0
After taking a shower, 487Please respect copyright.PENANASmpkXKdiMA
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the487Please respect copyright.PENANAty3n2E6Fbv
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 487Please respect copyright.PENANATgsxd3kY2i
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 487Please respect copyright.PENANA8ggPj2RbQ9
ever. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAWS65MsTiRP
He soon went out of his 487Please respect copyright.PENANAEjTnmoFVPJ
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 487Please respect copyright.PENANAORDhIFwBkB
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was487Please respect copyright.PENANA0O7Ncvnfap
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind487Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUWBbaa3l
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 487Please respect copyright.PENANAgOjixQ4iAU
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 487Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Lf00zFcu
him.487Please respect copyright.PENANARNk1akekjz
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZHiMqA8Jm
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.487Please respect copyright.PENANApw44a4FeSt
"Don't ruin the mood by 487Please respect copyright.PENANAWqCS30cPae
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 487Please respect copyright.PENANA6k5cTK60B8
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."487Please respect copyright.PENANABu7Xm8xOdu
Leo smiled as he 487Please respect copyright.PENANAs07IQP0c5y
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 487Please respect copyright.PENANAv3c9tePGbQ
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAnI3bDUNl2c
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.487Please respect copyright.PENANAqFMrO4jITC
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 487Please respect copyright.PENANATK7vjDfRz4
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 487Please respect copyright.PENANAlAkoHmmUlc
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFyNp8beIxA
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."487Please respect copyright.PENANA4QRLBWV4Jl
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.487Please respect copyright.PENANAMKQiOpIKb8
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."487Please respect copyright.PENANAamUNFdCZMF
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"487Please respect copyright.PENANArsG3RDT0o3
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.487Please respect copyright.PENANA6o57RcQgvm
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."487Please respect copyright.PENANADFwjljK2I4
"She is, actually," said487Please respect copyright.PENANAZSgLrJbkQe
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 487Please respect copyright.PENANAREC8tBbSSz
anything to you. You have me around."487Please respect copyright.PENANACEjFEHVnD0
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."487Please respect copyright.PENANA9HZKvgGmmV
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"487Please respect copyright.PENANA9fI3wGywmb
Before Carly could say 487Please respect copyright.PENANAz8aH955MyH
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAFlYNmhdkRl
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.487Please respect copyright.PENANA48ZO4FDsKO
"What was that?" Leo asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAUJhVkgqfZh
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.487Please respect copyright.PENANAOfpo4KQ6Y7
Carly got to Angel's 487Please respect copyright.PENANALhiw2KgmTm
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down487Please respect copyright.PENANAJNwL0ayIbv
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her487Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvjglSakc
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.487Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Kkq0bGix
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.487Please respect copyright.PENANAEvyzDdNAYF
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAp4VwNMOzIh
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANADr0oexmu44
"You know you're not 487Please respect copyright.PENANAclpMIcaNfc
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking487Please respect copyright.PENANAiBebDpiLvG
for help. You never change, Angel."487Please respect copyright.PENANALcWrbZKgjc
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."487Please respect copyright.PENANA6i44si2k5P
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAekljQyDS2w
"No thanks, I'm fine."487Please respect copyright.PENANAGDWOc38YhZ
Angel went on to look at487Please respect copyright.PENANAOFeTcJ5OAd
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and487Please respect copyright.PENANAn8QCpTFrpd
then she went on to stare at Carly.487Please respect copyright.PENANAYsN9IHFyGT
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANApwqWatxZEI
Carly paused as she 487Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZJK5rAXjg
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister487Please respect copyright.PENANAQ83HJJ7G4Z
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 487Please respect copyright.PENANAxX0sX6oUKs
Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAtw3sL0IYMt
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."487Please respect copyright.PENANAVbi2JBMT8S
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 487Please respect copyright.PENANADfCiyoJEVY
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 487Please respect copyright.PENANADjrbl9Ttyv
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 487Please respect copyright.PENANATO1iZJIJ0m
hurt or anything."487Please respect copyright.PENANA7QSEzJmROo
"May you please drag me 487Please respect copyright.PENANAiqRtKardBi
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 487Please respect copyright.PENANAmCfQliaI5N
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.487Please respect copyright.PENANAQa8Vxvq3nc
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.487Please respect copyright.PENANAryqWOi2Re2
"Just like Carly said, 487Please respect copyright.PENANAlDBlkec6Fo
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 487Please respect copyright.PENANAlEbWLiKqNP
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.487Please respect copyright.PENANArIYViu8xz9
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."487Please respect copyright.PENANAS1zBfq9WHr
The room soon had an 487Please respect copyright.PENANASRLM2rzCdj
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhi5KliPr1p
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAxMscxBlIxN
awkwardness.487Please respect copyright.PENANAff8BaNoUOC
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANApfg0oYB5TU
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."487Please respect copyright.PENANABwGiBPdOuD
"Sure."487Please respect copyright.PENANA6JiWnQMDBD
Leo stared at Carly 487Please respect copyright.PENANApmHo4GItv2
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 487Please respect copyright.PENANAzkib16H5fp
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhTUKPc6Oj2
avoid any more problems.487Please respect copyright.PENANA6ubmqlaysW
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.487Please respect copyright.PENANAbtkbohWHS8
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.487Please respect copyright.PENANA0MNmIysCqU
"Tea would be lovely, 487Please respect copyright.PENANAEGd2JSa8R6
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 487Please respect copyright.PENANASNr25AJR2x
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 487Please respect copyright.PENANAFYht3OneCC
could have helped you."487Please respect copyright.PENANAXS5zVegdRt
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.487Please respect copyright.PENANAqOaozp8jAk
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."487Please respect copyright.PENANAmkPaoiIwdH
Carly gladly smiled at 487Please respect copyright.PENANAMxKKch1nSH
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAgqVfjUPOF7
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 487Please respect copyright.PENANA0iQbwhCo3h
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 487Please respect copyright.PENANAbXdW8dXjyj
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?487Please respect copyright.PENANAp2HE9V5RSI
And Leo? It was strange 487Please respect copyright.PENANAZYlVIj1fw2
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 487Please respect copyright.PENANANEUwL2P6Xb
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 487Please respect copyright.PENANAY0iVNck1FR
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.487Please respect copyright.PENANAy8d8LgUcT5
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.487Please respect copyright.PENANALVxOKYstIc
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAzjOSC1Jycp
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.487Please respect copyright.PENANAPE9xTJWvPf
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"487Please respect copyright.PENANANNpRtfITkq
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."487Please respect copyright.PENANATzZhbtWNzv
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAqAwFqzarnB
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."487Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tc2vQpjYG
While Amanda and Angel 487Please respect copyright.PENANA6DyMe51GNO
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 487Please respect copyright.PENANA87155cRG7S
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared487Please respect copyright.PENANAtqEtKysQFR
at the door.487Please respect copyright.PENANAcq17p2pN01
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.487Please respect copyright.PENANACcC52BNyEf
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."487Please respect copyright.PENANA32ry3At2rE
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."487Please respect copyright.PENANARzc0blsr5Y
"No, she didn't." Carly 487Please respect copyright.PENANASgUuGoMPN7
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 487Please respect copyright.PENANAzKaTG9tBhS
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 487Please respect copyright.PENANAwo96dNOZ25
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 487Please respect copyright.PENANADp9vvPUY9N
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."487Please respect copyright.PENANA5TVOAdvaeI
"I don't care about 487Please respect copyright.PENANA55dzvHtBDU
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from487Please respect copyright.PENANAD8AhdZ6Cla
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 487Please respect copyright.PENANA57bLZFCKBb
are real."487Please respect copyright.PENANAq9hOJRDXBr
Carly smiled and she 487Please respect copyright.PENANAa9I6kSkBPl
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 487Please respect copyright.PENANAUrOxeIcNNQ
that she didn't want him to let her go.487Please respect copyright.PENANAhul4NTxW1J
She quickly turned 487Please respect copyright.PENANA47dfDMwSuB
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAu0d7o5M3en
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 487Please respect copyright.PENANAr3swcgVNuY
They would freak out."487Please respect copyright.PENANALVLRc3xpIO
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.487Please respect copyright.PENANAg2UdiQ07FS
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."487Please respect copyright.PENANAnpAR5ctgY0
Leo continued to look 487Please respect copyright.PENANAdTgL90QOPb
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAynxpgSNhPe
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.487Please respect copyright.PENANABDyXgMDCq4
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."487Please respect copyright.PENANAMAw1bkwhfj
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"487Please respect copyright.PENANAkUO5BBYcyF
"What's going on here?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAYMnu4FeItH
Leo and Carly almost 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9g5ifQANnH
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a487Please respect copyright.PENANACinnAxOZP3
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with487Please respect copyright.PENANAoZDJ4uHeaZ
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.487Please respect copyright.PENANAq3njlhpZ89
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAtTfz1RXpMZ
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."487Please respect copyright.PENANA8ChvVwUX0X
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.487Please respect copyright.PENANAjRdfoaoW9y
"For Amanda and Angel."487Please respect copyright.PENANAI1dW7iB7Tn
"They are both awake?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAB97kh8jaKb
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."487Please respect copyright.PENANAy9JguTH4dz
Mrs McDonell looked at 487Please respect copyright.PENANAAdHxxd9Koj
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 487Please respect copyright.PENANAfMtnS0uOWN
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 487Please respect copyright.PENANABjiZtDJDng
off.487Please respect copyright.PENANAKymtkjhaNX
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.487Please respect copyright.PENANAmNod5P3zG8
Carly took the tray 487Please respect copyright.PENANA3xCJClA36H
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 487Please respect copyright.PENANA8kY9IbV5te
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 487Please respect copyright.PENANAQBe1jsMBTe
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAiY0opey5rT
corner.487Please respect copyright.PENANAeQXYFusI9g
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."487Please respect copyright.PENANAXH74X7Qvmf
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.487Please respect copyright.PENANALhHMeLlvh5
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."487Please respect copyright.PENANAFzmrfw8Cvs
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."487Please respect copyright.PENANArRQfabs1XI
Leo made his way to the 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9l0hn3Q5PN
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 487Please respect copyright.PENANApWqJPGqL8Y
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAuk1ykQfO4g
By seven, almost 487Please respect copyright.PENANAX0GLwmmyHu
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 487Please respect copyright.PENANA67xq2AkVJb
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 487Please respect copyright.PENANAR529xttYI6
the lovely smell was intoxicating.487Please respect copyright.PENANAtl4lmJrxDV
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"487Please respect copyright.PENANABkzZTv0inZ
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 487Please respect copyright.PENANAPJe03wDySi
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 487Please respect copyright.PENANAgI1LOYUZbg
time to go to school.487Please respect copyright.PENANAUoGpuja092
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.487Please respect copyright.PENANAwDZjspsGQc
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAz6lPNv4wo3
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."487Please respect copyright.PENANAenUpps477x
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.487Please respect copyright.PENANAIAp5Ab7ZHM
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.487Please respect copyright.PENANAjeAFyqnc8h
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.487Please respect copyright.PENANAGIvACyzkZ1
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAOsVottRPU5
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAfL3V7wtdRl
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."487Please respect copyright.PENANA6ewxKiAFsU
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.487Please respect copyright.PENANAdWEoqelIr5
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 487Please respect copyright.PENANAaUumX3ic9D
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and487Please respect copyright.PENANAiHyMPT2wL6
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 487Please respect copyright.PENANAG3tMzsD7J0
them.487Please respect copyright.PENANAI8VayI9nYg
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.487Please respect copyright.PENANAHnTQcCievu
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.487Please respect copyright.PENANAvR21AmoymS
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."487Please respect copyright.PENANAzszTfjv6Ie
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANAjca1RNxGpM
"Right," Leo replied.487Please respect copyright.PENANATP3EEbpCjE
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAuDRdpN31F2
Just as they were about 487Please respect copyright.PENANARztqh3iKQo
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 487Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwnLtk8rm
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 487Please respect copyright.PENANAzHm44jyjKM
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.487Please respect copyright.PENANA6OMvxkKopD
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.487Please respect copyright.PENANA88ADv98bFX
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.487Please respect copyright.PENANAYpsksxVIYm
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."487Please respect copyright.PENANAtnCWvvGkxw
Before Leo could reply 487Please respect copyright.PENANAP9Zhd0bIgs
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 487Please respect copyright.PENANAN1jp3gONlx
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 487Please respect copyright.PENANAj4vbIW65Uh
looked away feeling irritated.487Please respect copyright.PENANApYyre9daWG
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAzPdCFtsDba
Everyone else on the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAqbJCvbaHRa
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 487Please respect copyright.PENANAvUAm8vQRNK
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 487Please respect copyright.PENANApJePsqhP08
except Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAWB8hl48aVd
"This is just lovely," 487Please respect copyright.PENANAOTwJhFTika
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 487Please respect copyright.PENANAjpczERaVQb
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 487Please respect copyright.PENANAfEVDxoYAO7
really early."487Please respect copyright.PENANA7oj2yDPV4H
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."487Please respect copyright.PENANAVFfI7hoHKq
"Your wife isn't here, 487Please respect copyright.PENANABryy0CRFYw
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 487Please respect copyright.PENANAYq4K9AR33x
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."487Please respect copyright.PENANA6MHCEjglo3
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.487Please respect copyright.PENANAq2vgI5iqWH
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.487Please respect copyright.PENANAY2F2Vw1z26
Angel almost spelt the 487Please respect copyright.PENANARPOh3jmrUo
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.487Please respect copyright.PENANA8Sv8dwU6wU
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other487Please respect copyright.PENANAjfsxuPoOpD
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 487Please respect copyright.PENANAS0gaXJfBSr
just ran a hand through his hair.487Please respect copyright.PENANA46CETGFvqr
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.487Please respect copyright.PENANAbACngHLLep
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.487Please respect copyright.PENANAGVwBcTWj5M
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."487Please respect copyright.PENANAEsuH9lp3PD
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.487Please respect copyright.PENANAG84v69a8tW
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."487Please respect copyright.PENANASZO7YB13OQ
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."487Please respect copyright.PENANAXfNadFTKmA
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.487Please respect copyright.PENANAcVgD5OtmaZ
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.487Please respect copyright.PENANAn7PHZnjVTk
"Have to go to school," he said.487Please respect copyright.PENANAd9kUxAXg8A
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.487Please respect copyright.PENANAATEHp6rlIV
Oliver came round the 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9djcuJMtB3
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 487Please respect copyright.PENANAP2AxztRpXQ
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9SjpQfnTve
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhJPJPUduB9
ears.487Please respect copyright.PENANAu39BvWRf1m
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.487Please respect copyright.PENANANzPNQHHRQh
"So adorable," said Carly.487Please respect copyright.PENANAmf4YsJgAJJ
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.487Please respect copyright.PENANATNRd1mwHsa
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."487Please respect copyright.PENANAnHprclAHIt
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."487Please respect copyright.PENANAEc1gFj9pDA
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."487Please respect copyright.PENANApTiLdRUCVN
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"487Please respect copyright.PENANAzrLWvUTH0o
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.487Please respect copyright.PENANAGXspFRaphc
"Well, I do."487Please respect copyright.PENANAV127iyKGvy
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."487Please respect copyright.PENANAc4gQdLhUvr
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.487Please respect copyright.PENANAnLnh67fBcQ
"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."487Please respect copyright.PENANAwNnKv3D7G6
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.487Please respect copyright.PENANAA7VbvVLnXo
"I'll find you in the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAlHn7x8HO8u
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 487Please respect copyright.PENANAx95Pz9ya3a
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.487Please respect copyright.PENANAEPxjHcKh0O
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.487Please respect copyright.PENANA18SegFk1nn
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.487Please respect copyright.PENANAz88dqTlyEy
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."487Please respect copyright.PENANACE4glMfjb0
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."487Please respect copyright.PENANAxULFd1t2qp
"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.487Please respect copyright.PENANArKFXSUicIG
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.487Please respect copyright.PENANAPQ6tCtBgb0
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.487Please respect copyright.PENANAZv9lKeV03W
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.487Please respect copyright.PENANAFCmxLSWwGg
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"487Please respect copyright.PENANA93wOqnCUuf
Before Carly could 487Please respect copyright.PENANAudVhjssYGv
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 487Please respect copyright.PENANARIgVKiHZYN
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9mmxQAlokO
interested about what her sister was up to.487Please respect copyright.PENANAa0114zxzAk
"I'll join you," said 487Please respect copyright.PENANAwpyg2dXhyO
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures487Please respect copyright.PENANAd2oHer9aRo
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."487Please respect copyright.PENANAdNz0lmxg5w
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."487Please respect copyright.PENANAe6c995RJzd
"I'll go get ready," 487Please respect copyright.PENANAwsCCnQWKv7
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 487Please respect copyright.PENANA9PyvWsoIH7
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 487Please respect copyright.PENANAKgT8vW7yvl
times.487Please respect copyright.PENANAhuRvTKpXaw
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.487Please respect copyright.PENANAC86RDSCZwG
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.487Please respect copyright.PENANAu44iVQCySC
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."487Please respect copyright.PENANAp8usGCk9iE
The last thing Leo 487Please respect copyright.PENANAYcPTO4OtLv
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 487Please respect copyright.PENANAhI2cDJj92B
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.487Please respect copyright.PENANALI7Ojvxfzw
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.487Please respect copyright.PENANAsMf4z0jmaD
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."487Please respect copyright.PENANAhhqeug2tOs
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.487Please respect copyright.PENANA8bSmEqPUNP
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.487Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Ou8xMx77
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."487Please respect copyright.PENANAOvARgINQss
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.487Please respect copyright.PENANA8zLs5wlOyz
"Yes. It's really 487Please respect copyright.PENANAGQSV5y5UI2
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk487Please respect copyright.PENANAPUQQ2WegDY
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 487Please respect copyright.PENANAIv8XTCrRS9
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 487Please respect copyright.PENANAJQb5Va5dYL
since I'm so old."487Please respect copyright.PENANANG8eN9HOJv
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.487Please respect copyright.PENANAJccjcNGMY6
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.487Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5yga3CDY8
"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?"487Please respect copyright.PENANA6Uuf9Gikea
Leo sighed. He looked 487Please respect copyright.PENANAFGF0PPCTYP
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife487Please respect copyright.PENANA43rKxQ6Olu
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 487Please respect copyright.PENANAiYwhQYwCeO
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.487Please respect copyright.PENANAYCWYiBHqwp
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."487Please respect copyright.PENANADlwriujC0J
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
