Carly walked in through 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3PAGOPlr1
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4euONuOHk
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggCrm4TGgc
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgAcVZkEdJ
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAdd2r9kN9
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtco51ZXT7s
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIrp2i5WhI
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtuzLTtpF9
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIxZplXt9i
"Have you already eaten lunch?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMRKipsmnj
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYQFAVSNre
"Looks like the shopping did you good."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rFpfhx1Bp
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bAzmZrFsV
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHzUU6kUFy
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORtQccsfB9
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpVJ8hZx6
"In the study?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5f0CsjBa4
"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."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHXKGceQFZ
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIse7ZID38E
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNjhAgR852
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje96ByuGDY
"I know you're supposed 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLpjRprNXI
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAHIfOsgdd
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmyiEVftlu
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5EU8Gp8YF
Carly felt herself 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWXB7qLsO5
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtwVf8cb1J
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLDZ7bSsjg
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIz6w3KC3T
her that.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHCfynI8nT
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuuzxM93Fp
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AQTvKlnWB
Just before the two 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnBxffY1K
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nyw4C0qPc
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezs6qkwOF
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycwQWfEwkz
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57sEWfQtAK
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6CG0KpeIQ
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67MfjR1hAH
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYZ4sfREC
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTiNWTK39C
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL3ScmXaOv
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZc68k2QqX
Carly went on her way 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yNpAjjrGb
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwhW6W772M
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2TFF1zHnA
from Amanda.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEpVbp5TEd
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62DY0PqRhy
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDv3Fk2Vp6
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENpULAMiE
Carly couldn't hear 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZlrbc1ihh
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSN00IDjWl
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nZ48Cg9tR
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCfmDW4jJz
Before she could get to 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezHcwLA0t4
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReacGRDBl2
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB81mXQR0Z
She opened the door to 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5r0YQUtDR
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNXrnXKvx
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF7FsQ2xRI
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEtlsjQl1d
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQE6vQkKYE
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoN0JDax7
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD2SQjYVaO
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFDIkb1Hpv
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ikMvd2RBh
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgryxtFb23
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA2cUVLajC
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSlNVOZ0zd
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT1mgfJR1L
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU78DlfwMFx
"How has been your day?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W65ztJ7rb
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EuVm3UKUb
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlAV4Gb7G
facing her sister.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLOozCfMkg
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lHsUWvP8C
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ne77VogWy
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeGhLs9F0H
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNigFexCHe
Angel faced the glass 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwNueT7UY6
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CT0apxGzB
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGtYn5xEl4
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73ZAfEOBW
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSUbyLTUrP
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wS7RG5Kqo
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMSVEyYUKI
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0tfvCC7CI
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7IY2kM7yn
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE4UdP31Ca
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN8VABfXCp
Carly's mouth fell open 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7vMVhVCe
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eotInDWrz
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xkM9NLXc5
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvNgbkrrxO
"Do you think I would 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlrpi38H1k
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ098D4lrZd2
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutRLwGD33L
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NIUPl6sj9
"For you, yes because 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGlmm3MRo
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsZRj8P5WF
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zRPdJBrB5
the mall?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYA2b22tv6
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINVmvN3iK9
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoUKf9YgJJ
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOEShVnIpL
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0g7JY8Enn
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9IfH2S33J
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3arf0L9Com
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKQb60Gp9c
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYpr7APbhK
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5vlQSu0Tp
"I wouldn't worry about 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHyreA7Jt4
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJYl3X822s
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBLYqyTYWO
"When a lady's fiancé 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqasmviNuc
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qDnotRVAI
that there might be another woman."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuCwZxWLK9
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX6pnBe23F
Angel felt like 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmU1Kj0Oaj
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM9dE9I3ai
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaPiVXMaPG
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYiBogEu7
"Well, what do you 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSQpMtwc6Q
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP3Y28SsYj
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Gv22B1QW
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsx1DHzRsJ
Kim for good."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF4pFgIwxX
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY0xcd4PXY
Angel placed the book 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLIwxbS4A
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNysbeqkrAL
started to wheel herself out of the room.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrMwdNsIwR
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtAH3teYhn
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SzY17iBOW
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDZt71CqDU
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40OUfVjh5y
"You want me to move on 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynUZxPfw2
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5gOr39s7a
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOdc8408Ch
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ryOdK461s
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz6Dt0HaSV
"What?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBT56faJNT
Carly felt powerless as 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlryDXt4lXI
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsXSQlbKJg
on her chair so as to look at Carly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8pitz5Wa1
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9XvwR7tTN
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8vGPPok4Q
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDrymKUFOc
Carly felt her knees 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdSItBTtJ
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B2u1ene2E
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZl05zFe3r
lost and confused.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAAkyRLTLe
"At least you now know 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJ6oXRwJ1
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi45VBqS3l
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8JWL8raSW
to or else that would've killed her instead."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdknakMuPF
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVSV43Uqtb
"But it's the truth." 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5aaybYIOA
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0zAsaVjvv
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzhxVrIWGi
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HskFuWDNi
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrXSHZhz7M
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XNyk5cUo
Angel looked on at 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzzfezwkwH
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLElRXgXjj
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqOfHNHwv
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgLk0cbjaM
sister anymore.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSXSFxZ21Y
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt03gMNmZkO
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWX4yYCTxg
Angel flinched by the 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXFFyDsnaY
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPHjqR0Gr
hadn't heard their whole conversation.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkk6JRW0rd
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.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojTFa0beSe
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtueJeNd12
Amanda continued to look779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiXkK9Ui7M
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkf0agS1QO
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRVEVmejEU
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMAHezuDzQ
"Well, you should have 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO1BHvLNrh
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWbnHP8j1Q
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcrPRXFGcT
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EH2zxlSfv
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30xcRcDWvu
"Of course."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CCiPEmttP
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3NdEpNId
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpWz4Z1rw
"Well, I better go and 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S2sZyj1wI
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRnXalnxc
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrG23Kw7Fd
my best behaviour."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaVMXrxzHn
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUln3BVLR6
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVP8TKJvw
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ntj9CbHf
"You're right, dear. I'm not."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbkFkr0BbO
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgqdHGIsHv
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl8hW5yuo9
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKnx0igg5V
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkNZvdaSzu
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLS3gbJQoF
Carly looked at Angel 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSV7FGoVPu
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UjJE4vaQW
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoBF56zZEo
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M80jsH6Vc
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SY54ga5HI
"What should I do?" 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdDKbcca1W
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFxFt1L0d
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCwQ8XRB0f
dinner."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nMf9h8S28
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ3GAL3Ewn
"Are you serious?" Angel779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPAvt1y2Z
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6s0lkoBz
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHrjCpn37Q
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGHh727Teq
"I wouldn't like to know779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxCOVzwUp
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RWYJd9WwM
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcFmy4c3wO
future."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDaPAACKn
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk2WqMfXcr
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaicOAsXB1
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpOYBjnW4L
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvsd5nwUA0
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2hCximkIk
Carly almost gave a 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6uBZvGqkU
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lQ3JQGQLx
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfTrkS7IyG
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEIhu73ICa
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJbGTxIhr4
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TmKACRa3y
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuEagLuS3U
Amanda turned her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl5oLRZkU1
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyRzCW8FTo
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkssDt2bAA
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3QhCKK4u
"With what?" Angel asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3ISWsth3l
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwPNwZ2x3M
"Carly, you aren't going779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc5Z0a12q6
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoZwRqzyo
backside. You don't want to make it worse."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d0BeXkwLF
"But aren't you scared?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9im4pEw4D
Angel raised her eyebrow779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4CLPjeXP
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjbmMoDscc
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4x2VDgdw8
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytZkisVZOQ
"I'm glad you've changed779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdlHAmAnjv
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZfANUa6kb
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyA0BbzFNq
would be a problem."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnmCtbMl7F
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMDU1i6ja2
"It's none of my 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsSd4yaCMq
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvYJqifc13
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4RuW768gH
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQxBCMgCbI
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHe6AUqCY
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDcNillm9A
When Angel left the 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKoeycd8AG
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHOXQZv7L5
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
