The phone alarm woke Leo497Please respect copyright.PENANAxSjwmsLjQN
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on497Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDpdoff8e
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 497Please respect copyright.PENANAeK9AWuwHLI
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 497Please respect copyright.PENANAvoJmleOtoQ
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 497Please respect copyright.PENANAQshI7LnCnB
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 497Please respect copyright.PENANA9s7XhxU5il
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 497Please respect copyright.PENANATAOJZhIuMX
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 497Please respect copyright.PENANAyVKldQHGtz
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.497Please respect copyright.PENANA5u6udWv1dw
After taking a shower, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAxtsUUeI7Eu
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the497Please respect copyright.PENANAhOqP7uBBjy
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 497Please respect copyright.PENANAs54C96vttS
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 497Please respect copyright.PENANA1N3nVyr0bR
ever. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAQqIbEWkUa7
He soon went out of his 497Please respect copyright.PENANAyebXkn2f8B
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 497Please respect copyright.PENANApcrr7lhXxV
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was497Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzEFxiMVr
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind497Please respect copyright.PENANAWOLNkCuYAw
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 497Please respect copyright.PENANAWum0ul9ttb
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 497Please respect copyright.PENANAl3umNt417c
him.497Please respect copyright.PENANA6bXFrz3eLA
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAJVq67I9SOR
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.497Please respect copyright.PENANAn9ikOtaWeo
"Don't ruin the mood by 497Please respect copyright.PENANAtrxfVOtqfA
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAHnfdoW5wvC
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."497Please respect copyright.PENANA68gUxtQGMW
Leo smiled as he 497Please respect copyright.PENANAkE8LLkdb2h
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 497Please respect copyright.PENANAYzeLEF8mBy
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAZZxjknZlFW
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.497Please respect copyright.PENANAVJU7cgXhOu
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 497Please respect copyright.PENANAglLHm8IjIt
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 497Please respect copyright.PENANAjgSFFAug6z
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.497Please respect copyright.PENANAdryYm151zZ
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."497Please respect copyright.PENANARVVx5qCyuE
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.497Please respect copyright.PENANAQfLrg6ifP3
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."497Please respect copyright.PENANAaL9397dMQZ
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"497Please respect copyright.PENANANFaJasa7sg
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.497Please respect copyright.PENANAZMclbiTshz
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."497Please respect copyright.PENANAcALZwIcHrI
"She is, actually," said497Please respect copyright.PENANAy47E1C57dF
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 497Please respect copyright.PENANAz9skRGRynf
anything to you. You have me around."497Please respect copyright.PENANA7FkxrVF0Cw
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."497Please respect copyright.PENANAue53KX3KlU
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"497Please respect copyright.PENANA8snUMYvWDe
Before Carly could say 497Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQRsrxlKF
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAO3mMCwNVta
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.497Please respect copyright.PENANAmJujRZ4Yl4
"What was that?" Leo asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANAOSc5dVemB0
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.497Please respect copyright.PENANAKYKq9hrpc7
Carly got to Angel's 497Please respect copyright.PENANAQwTYumKgs7
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down497Please respect copyright.PENANAMl3VhIWVms
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her497Please respect copyright.PENANAn20O8N7YhH
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.497Please respect copyright.PENANAdpOd2h8MeX
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.497Please respect copyright.PENANAa5VeRP6ksH
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANA2j0UAdTl3S
"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."497Please respect copyright.PENANAAcMnr5VaWC
"You know you're not 497Please respect copyright.PENANAr1In7mCL2Y
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking497Please respect copyright.PENANAaezWq24NuQ
for help. You never change, Angel."497Please respect copyright.PENANA1MK6bEEUeI
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."497Please respect copyright.PENANAuVfckeI0G1
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"497Please respect copyright.PENANA7q0dd2Aaz7
"No thanks, I'm fine."497Please respect copyright.PENANADTYkRs2ZF9
Angel went on to look at497Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7SKacZKM7
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and497Please respect copyright.PENANANC1BFVW2Ju
then she went on to stare at Carly.497Please respect copyright.PENANAXbadEwgDcN
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANAAmVAECoHCl
Carly paused as she 497Please respect copyright.PENANAnghalln4nj
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister497Please respect copyright.PENANARri5GR5XFJ
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 497Please respect copyright.PENANA4yFyhcZqxF
Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANAgx4MNrPKUa
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."497Please respect copyright.PENANAGX3nYzQJ6a
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAZVE2Geg5yl
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 497Please respect copyright.PENANAcN8Mo0mnz2
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 497Please respect copyright.PENANAiVypEMRGCY
hurt or anything."497Please respect copyright.PENANAMOnymOwMpv
"May you please drag me 497Please respect copyright.PENANAI9rzgAkoAL
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 497Please respect copyright.PENANAQar6PvI1Yp
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.497Please respect copyright.PENANAKMWIiJmvVl
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.497Please respect copyright.PENANAidU9CDKi7Z
"Just like Carly said, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAynSYK4y9FG
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 497Please respect copyright.PENANAg6VtlI0b5y
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.497Please respect copyright.PENANAPuljmmXK3V
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."497Please respect copyright.PENANAqvk1s4SbFW
The room soon had an 497Please respect copyright.PENANAGu2Bh8Ys4I
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 497Please respect copyright.PENANAdSTtOSb4cT
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAUEcZJm0FTW
awkwardness.497Please respect copyright.PENANAWnt2A3P4j6
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANARvfxDwVRrk
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."497Please respect copyright.PENANABJubsyxKmV
"Sure."497Please respect copyright.PENANAVTHyRV4q4Y
Leo stared at Carly 497Please respect copyright.PENANANPus9QZXnI
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 497Please respect copyright.PENANABbzunFXyF8
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 497Please respect copyright.PENANALsxBHzWEO1
avoid any more problems.497Please respect copyright.PENANA5h8HbcWegX
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.497Please respect copyright.PENANA9mV6HFDoan
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.497Please respect copyright.PENANAp4mMXqgjY5
"Tea would be lovely, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAsXqcrTIOau
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 497Please respect copyright.PENANAmaRIGC9wt2
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 497Please respect copyright.PENANABo9ZEwvHv4
could have helped you."497Please respect copyright.PENANAfyynIfSDLZ
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.497Please respect copyright.PENANAH1r9lXeBy0
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."497Please respect copyright.PENANAivhVW4tx9m
Carly gladly smiled at 497Please respect copyright.PENANAKktDOQDQk5
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAMNdJ9en3SQ
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 497Please respect copyright.PENANAYIqMdarRVY
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 497Please respect copyright.PENANADqvB5QTp7N
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?497Please respect copyright.PENANASFTPFdKppL
And Leo? It was strange 497Please respect copyright.PENANAQmkwvY4RHX
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 497Please respect copyright.PENANALf0AfrRhmS
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 497Please respect copyright.PENANAKUEa76V7t4
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqpfIpfKTdj
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.497Please respect copyright.PENANANhEYOtJeAM
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANAtnMVC383lU
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.497Please respect copyright.PENANA19fJyTlqN5
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAPCuYn1AriN
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."497Please respect copyright.PENANATQ0oldxQfF
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAylgjZsV3sr
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."497Please respect copyright.PENANAJcgCARwWIq
While Amanda and Angel 497Please respect copyright.PENANAsIK2We2XTb
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 497Please respect copyright.PENANARdGdWKuMOj
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared497Please respect copyright.PENANAthnArQA9Lu
at the door.497Please respect copyright.PENANAYcHEIUfIOX
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.497Please respect copyright.PENANAzECS5AsMvW
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."497Please respect copyright.PENANAsvJtygiIZ7
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."497Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ2hSHFXdt
"No, she didn't." Carly 497Please respect copyright.PENANAa6IDnpRq98
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 497Please respect copyright.PENANAwtQ3A7nBvM
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 497Please respect copyright.PENANA1RTvlvGlq7
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 497Please respect copyright.PENANAeyiESVjwpV
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."497Please respect copyright.PENANA7x1XSnTkZN
"I don't care about 497Please respect copyright.PENANAI3nL3eLJqT
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from497Please respect copyright.PENANAEAvFksM6Ko
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 497Please respect copyright.PENANAb2LcjGfJrH
are real."497Please respect copyright.PENANA6b2udL37yl
Carly smiled and she 497Please respect copyright.PENANAUlWt1e8Byq
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 497Please respect copyright.PENANAIE92KAkjiE
that she didn't want him to let her go.497Please respect copyright.PENANAYlDOxwSHFc
She quickly turned 497Please respect copyright.PENANAhlMbt9JBrU
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAvrusotP3fm
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 497Please respect copyright.PENANAY7MeaQAtR6
They would freak out."497Please respect copyright.PENANAjZgr6zqX10
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.497Please respect copyright.PENANABQo4ZJk3Or
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."497Please respect copyright.PENANA97lZ6C0m3U
Leo continued to look 497Please respect copyright.PENANA1XD1EscxIF
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAOufCVxW5qW
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.497Please respect copyright.PENANArqDSlah3Zd
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."497Please respect copyright.PENANARHIlRij2Fv
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"497Please respect copyright.PENANAjOI1K6Y2V2
"What's going on here?"497Please respect copyright.PENANA9nq8vCRzua
Leo and Carly almost 497Please respect copyright.PENANASYWgmvHh2H
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a497Please respect copyright.PENANAraAl1Ze9iL
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with497Please respect copyright.PENANACONLwNgJOO
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.497Please respect copyright.PENANA5hAEYDHQNG
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAy9oNAss2AW
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."497Please respect copyright.PENANAr4NgvX7lK6
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.497Please respect copyright.PENANAs5y6UInWZn
"For Amanda and Angel."497Please respect copyright.PENANAgOoPMY6FZe
"They are both awake?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAPMGew4KtK4
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."497Please respect copyright.PENANAnsOYxFitXz
Mrs McDonell looked at 497Please respect copyright.PENANAwKVOiPXKyZ
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 497Please respect copyright.PENANAaLh5dyjID6
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 497Please respect copyright.PENANAC5gkfXcKJK
off.497Please respect copyright.PENANAkuNN5Bioof
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.497Please respect copyright.PENANAtJCMOq0Z3Z
Carly took the tray 497Please respect copyright.PENANA9tGzgKPmnP
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAir6mM9UFgL
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 497Please respect copyright.PENANA5nMQWCvw2u
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 497Please respect copyright.PENANA0LDwHVh5NH
corner.497Please respect copyright.PENANAFi5ipfnHIN
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."497Please respect copyright.PENANAe0GmdYMAYL
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.497Please respect copyright.PENANAwsIAd3dpY5
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."497Please respect copyright.PENANAnpnJPfMcgM
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."497Please respect copyright.PENANAVTN7K0UfFT
Leo made his way to the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAzMg0VFmEW1
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 497Please respect copyright.PENANAvDnup3vMQ0
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANAP6vdC695Ys
By seven, almost 497Please respect copyright.PENANAjBwIbjh6v7
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAMtZLrv9tE8
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 497Please respect copyright.PENANAD39eDFCvkR
the lovely smell was intoxicating.497Please respect copyright.PENANAmPzmng2XyX
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"497Please respect copyright.PENANAXXbvwWQGQK
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 497Please respect copyright.PENANAtoZBUYdCnw
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 497Please respect copyright.PENANA6pgdguqh6v
time to go to school.497Please respect copyright.PENANAU0l7jFJcWN
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.497Please respect copyright.PENANA59t0sR5ECP
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAd3l9pHbzpe
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."497Please respect copyright.PENANAn42lsDNozI
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.497Please respect copyright.PENANArJLgr3lG4j
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.497Please respect copyright.PENANAnP6resAeQT
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.497Please respect copyright.PENANAMvHoFTRf4x
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANAboT4HhrcYz
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAcBu8PkhXCr
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."497Please respect copyright.PENANAKRO3YXo0uQ
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.497Please respect copyright.PENANAh46amz1kwZ
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAEatWhKjwB9
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and497Please respect copyright.PENANAjPeHJKlNZU
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 497Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ZAHYxoSH
them.497Please respect copyright.PENANARjSZb4nbnp
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.497Please respect copyright.PENANAibTprnaROM
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqS4b5AaFhc
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."497Please respect copyright.PENANAcTjxhBWPVl
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANAy4ZwLND4X7
"Right," Leo replied.497Please respect copyright.PENANA4RsUpLJTHq
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANAMRu0nUsv3i
Just as they were about 497Please respect copyright.PENANACIRKJgWQOx
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 497Please respect copyright.PENANADhJbSWavGH
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 497Please respect copyright.PENANAUmOeuJdH3Q
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.497Please respect copyright.PENANADoGyGGHuFW
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.497Please respect copyright.PENANAAR4tFHZMcQ
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.497Please respect copyright.PENANAS3PoiAmCKT
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."497Please respect copyright.PENANAILgQ01KBOh
Before Leo could reply 497Please respect copyright.PENANAhxMrONVPHx
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 497Please respect copyright.PENANA1DX9expkJd
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 497Please respect copyright.PENANAP6mXqaEUBx
looked away feeling irritated.497Please respect copyright.PENANAViubIWzXZu
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANAb7BUlfBIw5
Everyone else on the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAhYrBEg5AAD
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 497Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Vs8kfoVY
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAvM8K7n5OCg
except Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANAdpyr38XDFQ
"This is just lovely," 497Please respect copyright.PENANAMj1TS84DHO
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 497Please respect copyright.PENANARfCMeFNncb
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 497Please respect copyright.PENANAKviSVbGEyO
really early."497Please respect copyright.PENANAvWJbrpppXK
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."497Please respect copyright.PENANAxsb0bfVn3Q
"Your wife isn't here, 497Please respect copyright.PENANAHvpNPM4j2Z
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAMPkbwew3ik
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."497Please respect copyright.PENANAq2GNZyXAhX
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.497Please respect copyright.PENANAa9er7hakv2
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.497Please respect copyright.PENANAo7slYMU1I1
Angel almost spelt the 497Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ue44KIQaH
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.497Please respect copyright.PENANALgg1nC1F0o
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other497Please respect copyright.PENANA08cAVOcur6
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 497Please respect copyright.PENANA6TssHgmDXy
just ran a hand through his hair.497Please respect copyright.PENANAG02w6c0mXC
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.497Please respect copyright.PENANA990uyQ1nMY
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.497Please respect copyright.PENANAUw3BPPpWcT
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."497Please respect copyright.PENANAeY3sF3REjw
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.497Please respect copyright.PENANAzbhLE1FlhF
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."497Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQnxLfAoU
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."497Please respect copyright.PENANAa0kPTh0EPD
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqttxN5iLzD
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.497Please respect copyright.PENANA7L1K1IXLPb
"Have to go to school," he said.497Please respect copyright.PENANA48zLSuahsN
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.497Please respect copyright.PENANAPZwMDFWTwE
Oliver came round the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAyo0ZRwGGVx
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 497Please respect copyright.PENANAGHkmpARika
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 497Please respect copyright.PENANAZQhsXRrNlT
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 497Please respect copyright.PENANASfTOvSY0X7
ears.497Please respect copyright.PENANAS1mq97UaBs
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.497Please respect copyright.PENANAf0h0hNZUL9
"So adorable," said Carly.497Please respect copyright.PENANAx1ocsEnEsu
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.497Please respect copyright.PENANAAhkYmPdG3v
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."497Please respect copyright.PENANAWrIwqQMbE3
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."497Please respect copyright.PENANAZL5PK3NjXA
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."497Please respect copyright.PENANAVbc1q4iYxX
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAeGvBr5lv5D
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.497Please respect copyright.PENANAvKDcrZvJsu
"Well, I do."497Please respect copyright.PENANA7LHZSKnE72
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."497Please respect copyright.PENANAq6nlbkDEoO
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.497Please respect copyright.PENANAoDscH2NltD
"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."497Please respect copyright.PENANAtmOMGoF3Vu
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.497Please respect copyright.PENANAE6lK3HwkXV
"I'll find you in the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAx7k1ohUE2M
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 497Please respect copyright.PENANAzGjHXdvDBf
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.497Please respect copyright.PENANA3CsPnDW53E
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.497Please respect copyright.PENANAY83KB75z0e
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.497Please respect copyright.PENANA3vHKM4NToq
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."497Please respect copyright.PENANAXSI3YERf2p
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."497Please respect copyright.PENANATlQGAnSEcK
"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.497Please respect copyright.PENANA18tN3GidwT
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.497Please respect copyright.PENANAIzyTa78wVg
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.497Please respect copyright.PENANA8mMLppeGXY
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.497Please respect copyright.PENANAAIMpznXS8e
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAxpq8sJweja
Before Carly could 497Please respect copyright.PENANAxPxBnhlD28
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 497Please respect copyright.PENANAs1NWlTKDOr
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 497Please respect copyright.PENANAFM7kGtSjsb
interested about what her sister was up to.497Please respect copyright.PENANAcG6jIMsoRG
"I'll join you," said 497Please respect copyright.PENANA2LxNnZ8hPN
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures497Please respect copyright.PENANAngpb6E9zai
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."497Please respect copyright.PENANA4bUduP6hmv
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."497Please respect copyright.PENANA7cprxAj6h7
"I'll go get ready," 497Please respect copyright.PENANAziFectrzqU
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 497Please respect copyright.PENANA9rxAUrXCKe
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 497Please respect copyright.PENANAp7qF1Pp3vE
times.497Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZsqT2gGiS
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.497Please respect copyright.PENANABlrzTUX9Lm
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.497Please respect copyright.PENANA09nYtzc5gQ
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."497Please respect copyright.PENANAKBuKQgVItB
The last thing Leo 497Please respect copyright.PENANAesxuGBbek5
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 497Please respect copyright.PENANAciMBS2O6Oc
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.497Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ZgRGJhIk
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.497Please respect copyright.PENANAnGbhDd0deg
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."497Please respect copyright.PENANADDjxhmA5z6
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.497Please respect copyright.PENANAMIlYyal3Wq
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.497Please respect copyright.PENANAsyyf20wXbs
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."497Please respect copyright.PENANAplTO7QpKBG
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.497Please respect copyright.PENANAqaB7G6e1qH
"Yes. It's really 497Please respect copyright.PENANA8clxtiVtwG
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk497Please respect copyright.PENANAhmkV4lkmvT
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 497Please respect copyright.PENANAIp9eQMujXh
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 497Please respect copyright.PENANA37G8ZeIXTU
since I'm so old."497Please respect copyright.PENANAPAbNLI6tw9
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.497Please respect copyright.PENANA5UtUXjzkOw
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.497Please respect copyright.PENANAyk4dKbKbto
"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?"497Please respect copyright.PENANAngX9rjRNbs
Leo sighed. He looked 497Please respect copyright.PENANAwLocpQIKdK
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife497Please respect copyright.PENANArEdwdybAsD
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 497Please respect copyright.PENANA3HANz9CMTZ
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.497Please respect copyright.PENANAvVvISOWikI
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."497Please respect copyright.PENANAG6I8pUTP5p
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
