The phone alarm woke Leo910Please respect copyright.PENANAuceBZMyxAK
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on910Please respect copyright.PENANABbIVfQOLNV
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 910Please respect copyright.PENANAJClrGqN2Dl
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 910Please respect copyright.PENANArtRzvky0nV
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 910Please respect copyright.PENANANVShq8olOA
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAkcmncxBbm6
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 910Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6RTjrXe0
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 910Please respect copyright.PENANAOYDPsMKgM6
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.910Please respect copyright.PENANA1xe6ski1ju
After taking a shower, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAroOD72kZCE
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the910Please respect copyright.PENANAew38gKIOtV
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWFQW34ntmi
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 910Please respect copyright.PENANALgW7zaFTXM
ever. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAqbM75F8rkw
He soon went out of his 910Please respect copyright.PENANAp8hG5p323X
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 910Please respect copyright.PENANAxaYVpLCGBq
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was910Please respect copyright.PENANAvywvz049j0
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind910Please respect copyright.PENANAkgdaFr5jkL
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 910Please respect copyright.PENANADMyb37leNI
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 910Please respect copyright.PENANAytDmwg2kaA
him.910Please respect copyright.PENANAG00t2IJgQC
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjNVfZNzabM
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.910Please respect copyright.PENANAsPG9YeQep9
"Don't ruin the mood by 910Please respect copyright.PENANAoLDqAhd8Y1
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 910Please respect copyright.PENANArhWwYBsWwY
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."910Please respect copyright.PENANAhCgAaj9IZA
Leo smiled as he 910Please respect copyright.PENANAcHNX8O5FiW
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 910Please respect copyright.PENANAGUbIp0UuMu
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAeXEnpfWkJi
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.910Please respect copyright.PENANAuWzg9L4XiV
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 910Please respect copyright.PENANAA0lOxQf2d3
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 910Please respect copyright.PENANAegb3zy1uVk
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.910Please respect copyright.PENANAtPFye9W0gk
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."910Please respect copyright.PENANA8r9US7g9Mw
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.910Please respect copyright.PENANAQUcPWpYSeT
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."910Please respect copyright.PENANAG6QFHbtHwT
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAX8RmP2mpyF
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.910Please respect copyright.PENANAk98h8qaQzK
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."910Please respect copyright.PENANATYigc4CzBI
"She is, actually," said910Please respect copyright.PENANA9AXCCWdnUX
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 910Please respect copyright.PENANANmjdM5qZdS
anything to you. You have me around."910Please respect copyright.PENANAc62KOeByxW
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."910Please respect copyright.PENANAkf3fDwMQrN
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAsPLHEm6mf0
Before Carly could say 910Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ZIZ8NauH
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAxk9kLUnZuZ
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.910Please respect copyright.PENANArTJnrqOY6z
"What was that?" Leo asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ6LfCgIai
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.910Please respect copyright.PENANAfo6MFuUyVr
Carly got to Angel's 910Please respect copyright.PENANAJmhYddY7FQ
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down910Please respect copyright.PENANA8nLzvRD1Bz
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her910Please respect copyright.PENANAfoqD32xZ4j
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.910Please respect copyright.PENANAAYj3CGX57B
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.910Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqU549neH
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAqtXrZ520ap
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANAWKfAHRU5xr
"You know you're not 910Please respect copyright.PENANARsUbg0gCmF
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking910Please respect copyright.PENANAUbEL29gDZL
for help. You never change, Angel."910Please respect copyright.PENANA2KMaG1QPSw
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."910Please respect copyright.PENANATxbdiZloxS
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAzhTuTC62un
"No thanks, I'm fine."910Please respect copyright.PENANAijZlrsCV9v
Angel went on to look at910Please respect copyright.PENANALlI2B6tjs0
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and910Please respect copyright.PENANA4cCg4XWMg0
then she went on to stare at Carly.910Please respect copyright.PENANAuMvK4lZOML
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgFFeOLp1y3
Carly paused as she 910Please respect copyright.PENANADfk76LQzpm
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister910Please respect copyright.PENANAtwPBaIotbN
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWVWD2o1glH
Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAS1VANsdT4N
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."910Please respect copyright.PENANAZK4Xse9cLo
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAyRAPQ4Imbk
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 910Please respect copyright.PENANAkSh9R1m9xu
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 910Please respect copyright.PENANA6fQO1zVKSB
hurt or anything."910Please respect copyright.PENANAsKsnPF7rfM
"May you please drag me 910Please respect copyright.PENANA6O41SU5lLA
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 910Please respect copyright.PENANA0RQbheYjZ0
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgRYNROnh09
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.910Please respect copyright.PENANAG5O0iti8Wa
"Just like Carly said, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAvAH9GOmHm3
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 910Please respect copyright.PENANAqv2HX3IjHS
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.910Please respect copyright.PENANAixPxkjkLPE
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."910Please respect copyright.PENANAsFBrb2gJc4
The room soon had an 910Please respect copyright.PENANAxpeprubGjN
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 910Please respect copyright.PENANArqm6Syx91A
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAFNKD4uXu4E
awkwardness.910Please respect copyright.PENANAoGRx56uQSx
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAvooDdTsHkz
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."910Please respect copyright.PENANAkzPRBMAgGK
"Sure."910Please respect copyright.PENANAEUeXsJ2Wkc
Leo stared at Carly 910Please respect copyright.PENANA4i2zXsjh0z
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 910Please respect copyright.PENANAqAEWXTvVY2
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 910Please respect copyright.PENANAT0A3t9uI2s
avoid any more problems.910Please respect copyright.PENANAARzgTzyfBZ
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.910Please respect copyright.PENANAz1r3j9MqRj
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.910Please respect copyright.PENANA1TvqaEjLvz
"Tea would be lovely, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAnaB2E2vpxO
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 910Please respect copyright.PENANAOVpaSctqPd
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 910Please respect copyright.PENANAVYdadLREBM
could have helped you."910Please respect copyright.PENANAvjtEpfDb7D
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.910Please respect copyright.PENANADGkTk3rHog
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."910Please respect copyright.PENANAt4KTCtOW7q
Carly gladly smiled at 910Please respect copyright.PENANA76Nzpf4sbF
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdrclqzfzYh
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 910Please respect copyright.PENANATSBztxjbZm
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 910Please respect copyright.PENANAw6Iap3ZK7e
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?910Please respect copyright.PENANAqdPQhj4nBR
And Leo? It was strange 910Please respect copyright.PENANAg3G3qGXQXV
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 910Please respect copyright.PENANAYVc0Jolslk
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 910Please respect copyright.PENANA89NXg6zBYl
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.910Please respect copyright.PENANAzRiAInuZXq
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.910Please respect copyright.PENANAyKmJ9KaMZj
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAxi5WwTE7nl
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.910Please respect copyright.PENANAbynJpWp7lF
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAUrPauGYR65
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."910Please respect copyright.PENANAJlJKO3Vuvh
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"910Please respect copyright.PENANApfEGc7XF8w
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."910Please respect copyright.PENANAkFtpU4nzvm
While Amanda and Angel 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdvjLRODnHM
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWkuVS5uUAt
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared910Please respect copyright.PENANAaODrpSSLjX
at the door.910Please respect copyright.PENANAoGn40f9cxJ
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.910Please respect copyright.PENANA50t7wBdkTG
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."910Please respect copyright.PENANAstgLwcE0Uk
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."910Please respect copyright.PENANAuJBtIuaz2D
"No, she didn't." Carly 910Please respect copyright.PENANAeuKu1l3YaU
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 910Please respect copyright.PENANAsr6ikHs22X
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 910Please respect copyright.PENANAOqie4AIq5P
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 910Please respect copyright.PENANAfKhzsyNrR0
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."910Please respect copyright.PENANA53KBXhuWtO
"I don't care about 910Please respect copyright.PENANAWXskhTyZcl
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from910Please respect copyright.PENANAxZvhQcuIBw
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 910Please respect copyright.PENANAkHltdz3tuS
are real."910Please respect copyright.PENANAJhcH2jHTla
Carly smiled and she 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjF7xEWUikG
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 910Please respect copyright.PENANAQvw0leKYNW
that she didn't want him to let her go.910Please respect copyright.PENANAX8HP2u2YB1
She quickly turned 910Please respect copyright.PENANADyDURwewUC
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAb2k6gJP9hw
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 910Please respect copyright.PENANA31tLA4i0X1
They would freak out."910Please respect copyright.PENANApT9WONNNgF
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.910Please respect copyright.PENANAK6OGBnT4xQ
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."910Please respect copyright.PENANAnEPpWGIy3D
Leo continued to look 910Please respect copyright.PENANApYRDMjXe0k
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAQBwEYiIETY
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.910Please respect copyright.PENANAO6NssE9z71
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."910Please respect copyright.PENANAn935h8oXRd
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"910Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5bZd16mxc
"What's going on here?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA3hjqJHo4rf
Leo and Carly almost 910Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ubdhuZK0
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a910Please respect copyright.PENANApu7842xqsU
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with910Please respect copyright.PENANAWhHIkzNXiW
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.910Please respect copyright.PENANAe14zjcfKiM
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAXGFbLLYO9Z
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."910Please respect copyright.PENANAdjWLkpDebx
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgzCZ3ETALU
"For Amanda and Angel."910Please respect copyright.PENANAi33hw93Owu
"They are both awake?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8SMH26s3o
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."910Please respect copyright.PENANAEzTlo0imMV
Mrs McDonell looked at 910Please respect copyright.PENANAM8BPCeYgeF
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 910Please respect copyright.PENANATcR9sJL7Rz
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 910Please respect copyright.PENANAguO5QWKFBH
off.910Please respect copyright.PENANAZjnTOt9swl
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.910Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Zyn2ZoSZ
Carly took the tray 910Please respect copyright.PENANAXRWLfErlPT
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 910Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZkNjEdtgi
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 910Please respect copyright.PENANAw0vLsIvG2l
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAbqQvQoTOlg
corner.910Please respect copyright.PENANAY0CnEXN0l0
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."910Please respect copyright.PENANAjk2tWK40yA
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.910Please respect copyright.PENANABIM8A2zS4z
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."910Please respect copyright.PENANAX70YTVBw2V
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."910Please respect copyright.PENANAZm1llCHPdQ
Leo made his way to the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAHa1Ecan5u6
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 910Please respect copyright.PENANAqUHU57RnOU
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAhrax1K3lia
By seven, almost 910Please respect copyright.PENANAeKJoXobbvV
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAnpFCsmZptU
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 910Please respect copyright.PENANA7WUS6RaQhA
the lovely smell was intoxicating.910Please respect copyright.PENANA3XjDsdadW0
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"910Please respect copyright.PENANApigNkzKYgM
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 910Please respect copyright.PENANANDiXDKu7FI
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 910Please respect copyright.PENANAW7zmZNeXe5
time to go to school.910Please respect copyright.PENANAFJdHb8radv
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.910Please respect copyright.PENANAzVb7kzSG8X
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"910Please respect copyright.PENANArHOVNwLGC3
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."910Please respect copyright.PENANAhqtf5VafMx
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.910Please respect copyright.PENANAWIsOmqnggg
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.910Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgfFgLHkw
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.910Please respect copyright.PENANA7tlpgOjhur
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANA6dy0lw9pzH
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAhqSe17NXhQ
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."910Please respect copyright.PENANAip7Bb2eAfN
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.910Please respect copyright.PENANAakyBklP5TW
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 910Please respect copyright.PENANAdcfX8JVH1r
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and910Please respect copyright.PENANAY2JXzbFqoN
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjJHdWYJJyH
them.910Please respect copyright.PENANA68TbIIUhkA
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.910Please respect copyright.PENANAn81C44hZpt
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.910Please respect copyright.PENANAjqQGIMlKmW
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."910Please respect copyright.PENANAUJGQIgel9c
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANAk2gycCfOGT
"Right," Leo replied.910Please respect copyright.PENANAQ25O6YwPsf
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.910Please respect copyright.PENANAyahcgxPPer
Just as they were about 910Please respect copyright.PENANAW9hJSq6Jm9
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 910Please respect copyright.PENANAwA5D35BTGb
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 910Please respect copyright.PENANAtSSsfH4Wty
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.910Please respect copyright.PENANAuZQkWkQPAT
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.910Please respect copyright.PENANAyNj8hk5Rwi
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.910Please respect copyright.PENANA1VuHY2mGuv
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."910Please respect copyright.PENANAMGMUcbHM6C
Before Leo could reply 910Please respect copyright.PENANAkCblnvBzPh
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 910Please respect copyright.PENANAjmwzc2ZeXw
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 910Please respect copyright.PENANAHkthPHneUP
looked away feeling irritated.910Please respect copyright.PENANAeYyESzWEh1
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAtWKB546xDy
Everyone else on the 910Please respect copyright.PENANACYLdDQma6O
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 910Please respect copyright.PENANANMAdOgQ3gb
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 910Please respect copyright.PENANA5tZVj2PTeE
except Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAVwXh7anwzP
"This is just lovely," 910Please respect copyright.PENANASrH0PBdQBB
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 910Please respect copyright.PENANAErfneneHgh
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 910Please respect copyright.PENANAB75NDtIW0Q
really early."910Please respect copyright.PENANA0RwgqK56oh
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."910Please respect copyright.PENANA0vlLISZIwU
"Your wife isn't here, 910Please respect copyright.PENANA0XmO9yaZZ5
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAMgdZG6mGxO
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."910Please respect copyright.PENANAFDLdQ60VRZ
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.910Please respect copyright.PENANAH08j4X8Lwb
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.910Please respect copyright.PENANAGg6dEmdpO4
Angel almost spelt the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAXFadGyUbjk
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.910Please respect copyright.PENANA2KWs54DxA5
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other910Please respect copyright.PENANAEX3sEGDVqK
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 910Please respect copyright.PENANAPckTYC3Bb0
just ran a hand through his hair.910Please respect copyright.PENANABZYIxqPXdH
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.910Please respect copyright.PENANAhCzt2aT9T0
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.910Please respect copyright.PENANAgNXrOQbAkz
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."910Please respect copyright.PENANAoklaORMMCz
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.910Please respect copyright.PENANAYbnBqYDACM
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."910Please respect copyright.PENANA43vob8E368
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."910Please respect copyright.PENANAob7YEWfgZM
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.910Please respect copyright.PENANAXmYizPu3Cf
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.910Please respect copyright.PENANASsnVsfIEUq
"Have to go to school," he said.910Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ZSIrE0WJ
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.910Please respect copyright.PENANAuByLORqFnS
Oliver came round the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAYSxMVmncXx
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 910Please respect copyright.PENANADMUdpJxDzN
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 910Please respect copyright.PENANAxcxxWnJwcl
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 910Please respect copyright.PENANAS079y4IcEr
ears.910Please respect copyright.PENANA4KOdhC5ATu
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.910Please respect copyright.PENANAimpldHvuqy
"So adorable," said Carly.910Please respect copyright.PENANAODlW0cxThE
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.910Please respect copyright.PENANAWqUEuFh9dj
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."910Please respect copyright.PENANAzXDEYxralX
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."910Please respect copyright.PENANAkwfHJJd9bV
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."910Please respect copyright.PENANADpODEmu9sR
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAsjyh3Goi1n
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.910Please respect copyright.PENANA3STVPeq8RA
"Well, I do."910Please respect copyright.PENANAQLsNycZlS2
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."910Please respect copyright.PENANA3sJZXjDx3a
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.910Please respect copyright.PENANAmPdLdY2kqb
"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."910Please respect copyright.PENANAJCp1IdU8ce
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.910Please respect copyright.PENANAMXDAnfe45B
"I'll find you in the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAA9qFMVcnrO
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 910Please respect copyright.PENANAGnDUrcXPWt
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.910Please respect copyright.PENANAFCYUfpU2gM
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.910Please respect copyright.PENANA8VbM9eftUq
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.910Please respect copyright.PENANAoXpF3C0yeL
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."910Please respect copyright.PENANABbfkjX1jIE
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."910Please respect copyright.PENANAUwNPzO6RDV
"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.910Please respect copyright.PENANAza3oth057Z
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.910Please respect copyright.PENANAtcy45wSTaY
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.910Please respect copyright.PENANATksQBGTXul
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.910Please respect copyright.PENANAAB6KiUVL9E
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"910Please respect copyright.PENANA0Oc7nyF1bo
Before Carly could 910Please respect copyright.PENANAE75Pd3pfwW
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 910Please respect copyright.PENANAwuD2UE5enu
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 910Please respect copyright.PENANAasnFNaDBG0
interested about what her sister was up to.910Please respect copyright.PENANAMLUSfFYpAi
"I'll join you," said 910Please respect copyright.PENANARfKT4yTWEN
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures910Please respect copyright.PENANAQaXSaySMO8
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."910Please respect copyright.PENANAhLzpv4lQMh
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."910Please respect copyright.PENANAmUis50ZbFx
"I'll go get ready," 910Please respect copyright.PENANASLercyizUz
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 910Please respect copyright.PENANADAFAeReUs8
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 910Please respect copyright.PENANAuU1MNlBcqs
times.910Please respect copyright.PENANANEnfocW1Lo
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.910Please respect copyright.PENANAOjfL5MkddX
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.910Please respect copyright.PENANAke2qQ1l59L
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."910Please respect copyright.PENANA7oQeXsdmC7
The last thing Leo 910Please respect copyright.PENANAVSKNXfmMg3
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 910Please respect copyright.PENANAU2y9QPmdKK
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.910Please respect copyright.PENANAJMJ6opggpd
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.910Please respect copyright.PENANAmYqKmlJPF5
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."910Please respect copyright.PENANAbOk8D1kcVK
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.910Please respect copyright.PENANAnaJiisY81o
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.910Please respect copyright.PENANAEomF9yXRPK
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."910Please respect copyright.PENANA9R1Jh0GHZG
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.910Please respect copyright.PENANAHQMM2PWBnV
"Yes. It's really 910Please respect copyright.PENANAUUCJRtX8QC
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk910Please respect copyright.PENANAeI2Fmlo8j6
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 910Please respect copyright.PENANAf3JMiqf8XE
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 910Please respect copyright.PENANALWDBGsIuXj
since I'm so old."910Please respect copyright.PENANAhfgg3Tct4V
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.910Please respect copyright.PENANAKTZsqgLlfw
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.910Please respect copyright.PENANA5Hy09a1If4
"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?"910Please respect copyright.PENANAFU5w5m1SmH
Leo sighed. He looked 910Please respect copyright.PENANAvHpXuScPDX
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife910Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ9gCbTHg7
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 910Please respect copyright.PENANAyBypRN1ez9
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.910Please respect copyright.PENANAmlYGRuGRXf
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."910Please respect copyright.PENANAx5DxYYqPih
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
