Carly walked in through 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCoKVcnLaT
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ktAt551xQ
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Iaim3mjS
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDc2tgiBsp
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiqzYMRTbe
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimSQ2otSGm
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyRyHjYH9E
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cBe0FJy2Y
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYQ5AUsWt5
"Have you already eaten lunch?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL0bQPplDi
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuR05euciA
"Looks like the shopping did you good."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5Rv6nodf
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6HpDEJNCX
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCV1aq9PIW
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLMIsQI4rB
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAmwhgRKme
"In the study?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRIvpbNsN
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8p70Wd5YG
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfjtRKfwAT
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ucScuiVAp
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGO6IuBuY
"I know you're supposed 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNAsiNzcLv
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFt38lGb7
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ13k4hRU5
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX9sbH7irY
Carly felt herself 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAuaRSMOEq
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXuaxEArTc
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGf2PDoz0S
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPR7cqqTKw
her that.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhefSRMrmR
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXijsCfQsg0
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IKnDG97V1
Just before the two 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ZiygFlw2
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2kKFYEcgD
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb458GOzTM
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom7G4X31uK
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOuvaKrmO
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dggWHeHmq
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GQnrC6dYP
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx27hwdYEP
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU4tNtwGM9
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BB41Cabj
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpug1Puk03d
Carly went on her way 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgOCD9gzwj
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Vvyzs6rV
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7v1Wtd1eN
from Amanda.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DA0giyad
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbjnQclD4y
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAgKeQdkt8
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSzFmwIDsh
Carly couldn't hear 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhI2RGG2q7
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q1MYAZNdP
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjaOALVjPK
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUrhxC5Z4X
Before she could get to 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GHQTWKRfH
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEbw1A6Ni
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZE8L7CDDy
She opened the door to 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTXubv93p
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE1EIOPcGV
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5N0QvqERZ
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj88ArPhh3
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB8OlfTwqm
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Hn1maiTU
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOYwRmOAsi
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsC2b2uQnU
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P88cHlQS4
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdJTMYsoHP
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP7D3Cg3Ht
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNN83tXowk
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTg9zdTpGZ
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK8qLdH1Ku
"How has been your day?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ghGyRhske
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NW8hFuTPC
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7h9bSmVW5
facing her sister.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoVNN9Z1PF
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtUvsSpO3V
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6d814ilY5
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC6Z0yQ9ha
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKJqtuqx4u
Angel faced the glass 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmuECw737c
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqqdsSiw71
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KZjZVaWSd
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG96fKerI0
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzAJJpAYeM
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HMZbTuFtX
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO099ZUffL
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1ClEpiDP2
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXwJJOO5Xz
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TxkJaGxPd
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dJ7de4wbq
Carly's mouth fell open 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYDfWwrBu
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjmVj5Kpz
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dZj2DiX0v
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFzG8wrsv
"Do you think I would 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtsoXeQzWU
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakyx4w1Y1f
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdiQlKYLZ1
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfOJpEuUjS
"For you, yes because 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej3AMpQhWE
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk64HzGLMQi
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nNn9MUR8w
the mall?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjuI1aEhWV
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc532kpf7EU
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMNDOSQsbD
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DRDbWcH6J
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lN9VRRFq
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclLibbXljE
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlOn6jyITu
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHvJ8teZwL
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6OebBfoam
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUvau1iTMT
"I wouldn't worry about 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLc0S3myc
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Um0cfqwZP
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlwwycWesg
"When a lady's fiancé 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7e8ohj2EO
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCkSst8pd
that there might be another woman."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eyhqWk30N
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06pTjDoHy
Angel felt like 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtWeNvFjja
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2IFIuFIrE
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm301FSgnC
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2X0XGcoe
"Well, what do you 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIKTzXLFkJ
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa7QbBKLk3
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkDyUhh1Gn
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctS3g7eFSC
Kim for good."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwK903zAh0
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YLlqk7DB2
Angel placed the book 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoGog63JwZ
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0dFs7t0ZL
started to wheel herself out of the room.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANf8LeuP4t
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJRhq7J1Lw
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqi63XN8yo
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohP4IiHB8p
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbM5tR1fFC
"You want me to move on 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG43RO3Gzx
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb4UjHmfxg
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUqCLwOyyc
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcDzT7PV5F
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9vGpDikjv
"What?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9g0VewXUj
Carly felt powerless as 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWFpYeGXmh
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Jup7pJ1E
on her chair so as to look at Carly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSo89VellZ
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra834LppxD
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUM6pOvFq
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9xx6n43y
Carly felt her knees 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Yj9DjOxo
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26gqTviDY
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYMUkiLWow
lost and confused.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvP0NdfH0
"At least you now know 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9QatYZiC8
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRh1NQwdqX
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGxNuJhpM7
to or else that would've killed her instead."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIzZUVsi8O
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehIY0SNVUj
"But it's the truth." 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNmuqqBvW8
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTgpUUi88j
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKaNRgJHI5
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPuJlNc20o
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGBtqmxKSh
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeAThLDR0U
Angel looked on at 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDys9NJ8K7
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexee9YPFnb
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOEtRmqXJz
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHIv9GFfao
sister anymore.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFAq6rLn7
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oo1cSwv3B
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlEdGWqUnO
Angel flinched by the 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tKDa6HzfC
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1l6hxP3rb
hadn't heard their whole conversation.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqkaevzYs
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KW217adCi
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFb5wflEhZ
Amanda continued to look883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LBa522QYx
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurzZInrrB
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdQn1ca1K
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANGoEos2cA
"Well, you should have 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQWtFAz3eq
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEaVYFZsrc
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY62cmIZ4Uk
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIdiXo9QIv
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVC2EAQv3I
"Of course."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpNXbjzXr
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQJzlIfQ7
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMvR0pR2io
"Well, I better go and 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV5jKqItAZ
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeMNcr29Hu
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FyOLUgiqj
my best behaviour."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6I41KSYmy
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vyLfGNnKx
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3TEpXusdq
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaJktLhvL
"You're right, dear. I'm not."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnIaXIOEvS
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKEFO8Qp5
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N5EqxLffh
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHG9OT15K
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8WjhTiXjO
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74oTb2yTbN
Carly looked at Angel 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6fhlaGfML
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeYHEdCdFS
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtQvEcqg5s
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed9bijoELr
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HsEMZlkq0
"What should I do?" 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l8N15FVYm
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAlfubT7T6
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEPgXPYzvd
dinner."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTE0FtrT7
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByVUI18ISV
"Are you serious?" Angel883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51KHg3Tzg
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3rg1EFoAb
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM1UK6tyDS
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTpEXlVv7S
"I wouldn't like to know883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJLkNaLodc
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaEVzKMVGR
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcUj4EQucS
future."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HoTw8sIPK
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRih2OZbiq
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpS6mIutC9
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0F4ekuv4G
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xUgHK1TS9
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMEC74TEH8
Carly almost gave a 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb6ud1NaVz
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaSEu4hsGN
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfroxiTu4
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867FIae7ok
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rg4JCwvpz
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVf9Gi36JZ
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5qCOd3b3p
Amanda turned her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr8BOb9u7O
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgbOsUJ5ve
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjfw3K64j
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrAeX9CQ4
"With what?" Angel asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRoKf5kPZL
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qA7gREGII
"Carly, you aren't going883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ea7H6J5lt
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe6mAUtdK2
backside. You don't want to make it worse."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqbUGzb7JZ
"But aren't you scared?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQSiAISmcw
Angel raised her eyebrow883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpJ3wFR5Xf
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3McoeRjUAB
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG6AZ2M27W
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eiO43Gum1
"I'm glad you've changed883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmSd8vV4oH
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWDZ5kIjM
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoRIqq6ahZ
would be a problem."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvjpJBUzRZ
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9TtVxi5g3
"It's none of my 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGioH1CNKT
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaHcewAXV
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgGFFFbSEr
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBje6XDsjjR
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K51dn3x38
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVtu0nSb8w
When Angel left the 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4kWwjA3yO
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 883Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqpgX2jcVe
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
