The phone alarm woke Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgurxTrBbR
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjrmci4lFq
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYYdv0QxYH
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfz426ukBU
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLb1mymJ5B
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xC4M3sQX5
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg77MOR5xX
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHplgjCnsg
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB9qXAcCcc
After taking a shower, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcDnvE2LCH
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPSysNTI2H
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWx6mdCiE4
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByDX9C5g7r
ever. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUFZZcJdt
He soon went out of his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuJPfY3uwE
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5zmrip7vt
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesPg5s8CyL
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH3dum67RY
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXVYU3GbP2
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64vawj2O1C
him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4MGJZcry4
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iu1f0AEfA
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjozeGnz2s
"Don't ruin the mood by 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ckhi4QUD
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NnbWTznty
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuN7Uxvzwt
Leo smiled as he 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZraQkt77ME
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MuaWqRsjM
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENHff7dafW
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0En30G9bYU
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD6UdV6C00
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF11CZKU4wE
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37R8our49
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLY7RIE2qC
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h9T8wyLLA
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91fP48nU8a
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF8nDQ3CeN
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi0DNaEo5e
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIwIOKHfSv
"She is, actually," said771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaj9wcCVd3
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaWir6SAN8
anything to you. You have me around."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ZCmAEvUW
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVcCLuk1Hq
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qmtIMAEs
Before Carly could say 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWJKepPaVd
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqYswFizy
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGaz7dZzB7
"What was that?" Leo asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5LFoWJ7e
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoEXcpQZyv
Carly got to Angel's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdVT8OP7T
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPPLRxjkOk
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp28x44Frg
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG8l8dbEd2
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk5CfYtNuf
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoYdpSf80x
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41wVzCJPxh
"You know you're not 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wc9vcJChK
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP5d5FwNjX
for help. You never change, Angel."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi47ljXP5a
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6YToEPYeD
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM8jy5DcKo
"No thanks, I'm fine."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKs69ShxrZ
Angel went on to look at771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICPHUMewFm
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JoFiDauuT
then she went on to stare at Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73NHDtvdhL
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2mTzGhRp
Carly paused as she 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ8E5hQUmj
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NcObDeA28
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE8FN9YmYr
Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GWQatMC2N
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclbXaHdixq
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnWM4GPSz
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiISSwV17M
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaP7RSkDA6
hurt or anything."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZhEu817S
"May you please drag me 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr54AwKUUj
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBppMRd0zE
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMeisgnW2x
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5REeB6fDB
"Just like Carly said, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqo8NQovQo
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXuVF1axtP
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ5vF4eqqA
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAowLEKKT3D
The room soon had an 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQmeL8N35u
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2BHM7W6eK
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnblT5wooQS
awkwardness.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXiiNgqic
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW56oxN2jp
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS06mQ27K7
"Sure."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsyRhBoTT0
Leo stared at Carly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DiKRjrRpP
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREhqhjCoW8
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgrq2q5sse
avoid any more problems.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEt5Bt9ICc
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twn3xQ1jm
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQj09vUd2l
"Tea would be lovely, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i5ArskOiq
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1dbv9nYod
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFUSDBW2b
could have helped you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke1mngzXzz
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmbEhYW9D7
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmV3Z5dcLu
Carly gladly smiled at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uq17LC1no
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpZ8ta50RK
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijMXKvTDGR
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9ccWtXis
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKjI7t5KuU
And Leo? It was strange 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pUM2CK5Xp
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq91bGe1F0
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ3TBq2GHh
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFF1yW0FRE
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVSY4zZGTu
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj8bbyUecz
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kosV7trrv
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07DT3eqjLs
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBjyOxl30
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7lku4OPn
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWa8RoblW3
While Amanda and Angel 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrQOpcdQ03
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSUiEksOR0
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JAyDGNK0
at the door.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhcUE0gDAj
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTidWwcjl7N
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiV6wItihj
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrwpSiN2Mx
"No, she didn't." Carly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgV8ovveyT
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBnhCISDwO
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoUjH31iLf
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z1khCCWK4
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs4v4EhFEx
"I don't care about 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyCty7T2eN
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6qMtz0IHE
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o8uKHNaNp
are real."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK3lD807P9
Carly smiled and she 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXarFXVqBdb
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhLJbd7cBm
that she didn't want him to let her go.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTJLTaDtpd
She quickly turned 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA4t3acUrP
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m0W3lstEN
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtk2DBYadn
They would freak out."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpi4fUP46o
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4IP4wLs8
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxi7l9I0Vf
Leo continued to look 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc5GzxhgdX
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYp68YLLtk
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfgWhPhVWB
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbweuddrxV
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuQZtsTGox
"What's going on here?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdazoVxX7K
Leo and Carly almost 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRxcVe0MKJ
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpncWLO4ENH
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ763DqhoDUI
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUEBfm6Lk
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPiAetg6W3
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLzEdedfX6
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpIqZyDnDq
"For Amanda and Angel."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbFsSoQKan
"They are both awake?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU76kiLmSU
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcMbErUax8
Mrs McDonell looked at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ZPAFpU3q
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXIBSO0oGh
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvqmVHqJXS
off.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrk7iiTfT0
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWF0YZD8mr
Carly took the tray 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYHpFcrXB
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTuYicz8Oa
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLcRg1SQwf
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTELFhDriC
corner.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg166kjS1lP
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaweeWxSdOh
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9xIzVoNi
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSzSgkIFgR
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LzCB3jlyD
Leo made his way to the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWatFZdIw
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE6J8jejKG
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvpL6Cdy5
By seven, almost 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwXCgSPIlz
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJBqXFyeD1
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NiQGfj1Q2
the lovely smell was intoxicating.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SgiFI38sY
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tf74ACCnd
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCiqaSVxgr
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOBhdKMcd6
time to go to school.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWywhWrCdn
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNV3SYlmHv
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUwDJGWGE9
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ725trDczpn
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lEt3eV0U9
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjCAzH1o7n
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Elv0cXm1J
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0s2kq8K3G
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5Zou0U62
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbLLDxtFtq
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjClbM7lDW
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOZESRHO90
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ciY0t8Pv
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp93sAu64P
them.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX6snAonXT
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5V2kmucTP
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71KDZ0gqu1
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uCrpJXc42
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIcOKliXOE
"Right," Leo replied.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YruMpHzuu
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7iTLuJHaH
Just as they were about 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3saYyVbhA6
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoCFc8LcDu
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8NRufex08
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzQ17lZJ7I
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBPEoEqJf0
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh55NqGy1bq
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYllrmo9g
Before Leo could reply 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSwD4W7Fwz
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6NJuju40
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYPrYwcJ9
looked away feeling irritated.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTBqn48gY2
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fKaaJOPat
Everyone else on the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTocKQ1ai8N
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRT65b5Tp
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvS6O0NPpg
except Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiRHIMixh7
"This is just lovely," 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo9DEsD9xM
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx56qnUMxAh
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncdN1PH0oB
really early."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B5qZDndwI
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZBCFkJ0IB
"Your wife isn't here, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHKwWZ8qGv
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAkdDvY3Hx
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MIqd8mdiE
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGZD79jxa
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKzu4BkJ1A
Angel almost spelt the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHac2hnQEG
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhcksY05XO
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskdIkCcbXd
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ782LwbIZWZ
just ran a hand through his hair.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu7QyCUhXs
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUrrdE9KoM
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yDyR9OFmP
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoNy9tlfk0
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hRlAC7Ad
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq3OVwDVPg
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBgnDYcUnT
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhszwJuwtvM
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiJicrlbPg
"Have to go to school," he said.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYqvwhb5Ei
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXms8fo97M
Oliver came round the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU61xw7Xdpx
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZaChH2sUL
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qWvt1WtxN
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil0kAG2lV1
ears.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7udMrkbcm
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGytJRJwIvf
"So adorable," said Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKTLxc13yH
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB5PprZCaA
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDBHLiQK5h
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v1IymdiZo
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoE8EVF2U3
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAxKUcXLti
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiMQrRwIJG
"Well, I do."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU5hEYTHLc
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNObXoG4pu
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F46pBcR5F
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaOfOHKqwZ
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lBHcf3Yj6
"I'll find you in the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6q589Jjtx
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKTzE8JifJ
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fkc32t76J
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQh80Prpft
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtVHuAvB5k
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGCEdpWjU
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEVFkIB3FG
"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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabjSwlqQzt
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8MZt9Wp2T
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU39YcLYaPz
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEgiw7nAd1
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFjWdXCLxX
Before Carly could 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFtEHyQPV6
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfdjcUU37d
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfoQbjjHOB
interested about what her sister was up to.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpu9Xot4Da
"I'll join you," said 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9itmbKBuCN
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBo9hxsWtR
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJBeZMTKKE
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2Rus87WJ
"I'll go get ready," 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1iYRFUSMm
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzW85rSi1K
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj2P8AIlQ1
times.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vFDvuP0a3
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQdEf1A2j
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrv7NtoNnv
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6GUmeHbY5
The last thing Leo 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFu7E68wj
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGnmAu0QEB
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQYXTX4hn
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoECS37TLq
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApQfsTxxjS
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZx7dzqTHl
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nFV6O9ZVE
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUTIXBcL96
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz0ERFJCSL
"Yes. It's really 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87hcT0c84J
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVaruFpZ9A
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlMPxhpIup
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbzn54G2vF
since I'm so old."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvgCOicvQV
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYC5qzCkOV
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJjXuzmN8t
"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?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdguiMVGTa
Leo sighed. He looked 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dmK0cURa
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWz4xTQmO
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMNMmdHocl
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEgd10PLk9
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtQhdmytiW
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
