Carly walked in through 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6lZUUzd0A
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAyuFPewUU
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1eObyOJHQ
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFWdC0ZxD
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJPMLhNdnv
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqbEGu7GXw
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B1VvCOIgq
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2kiZDVJb8
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Ttg2qVYl
"Have you already eaten lunch?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XcaoHwBom
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGpD4S8LsG
"Looks like the shopping did you good."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkws0jBXY9
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAjinkgy5
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyYinWJZr
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRjH81xxaX
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIPywtH9kK
"In the study?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T8lpyRExu
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw3Pd7ulyU
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DWUUWkliB
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDG1Rt5Rlp
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmj2BWBRys
"I know you're supposed 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8fPToEVj5
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkkVH6dVXb
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LkTW3DfBK
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68ocVPnGz
Carly felt herself 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFHQN4y9Wv
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oVRg0MRiU
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaOe76O1zy
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFS4AjlW1
her that.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCawSU7LWEz
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV4kfU9Y2S
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59M18hwIw
Just before the two 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfxYmYacmJ
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSMY3OiYJP
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK25DtC7SN
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcwgSa6gY
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1mZ6SC23
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RQ0j5xWcK
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkURVQaY1qm
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNBRqnArI
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqECD3suWjZ
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaFTNsZkKZ
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gzOObSi3i
Carly went on her way 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMmVKlTvh6
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCJhhguUMi
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV6Fh2Adjg
from Amanda.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwOftp7oJJ
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASuFbxWJzm
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFY3SixZ7g
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzRg5B7VE
Carly couldn't hear 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ObJEO2Qz8
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRHAJylrNM
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO1v1dUC0N
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9vkY4Byb1
Before she could get to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0adBgMxDoW
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnMT7ugMrC
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPruaBf7yeH
She opened the door to 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIYLebAiuz
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkwhXDxby
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKzkpkO46x
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQzVS0tso
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jFtvGM1TI
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIHCAv8xQD
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8MaeY2Az8
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuFETw4Xs
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKsftcWb7
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P8PP9fqE1
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UsgmXrt3
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOREY2Aqqza
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCXwJmlcKT
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvAmg1Lzuh
"How has been your day?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHdtzfTvDP
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA5ZYGE3Ls
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLddbgvBExp
facing her sister.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TVb7wa734
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPYtwGwhLJ
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTugDoCFvXY
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnmC2biCu
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMG8DczrzG
Angel faced the glass 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx87gdUZOQP
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPezH6g693
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihbG37Mnsk
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZAJQtRENz
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstWIcZSHSN
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplIgTDSDwr
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuAdeuE7jL
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEMI61GPS8
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNWmKFsFHO
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwvzWCgIxq
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURvhhY64wg
Carly's mouth fell open 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTJNp4QSP4
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJfujQr0hS
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt89G3R0SW
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1WILUcHo
"Do you think I would 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0RlALQ1B
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxaXP3ORsj
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P6hE1gKJ2
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvuWzTujKm
"For you, yes because 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG0Vu5LBDv
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuPrRlxH8s
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ37LS2FqjW
the mall?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO08ORQQ5I
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvBUjrkoAx
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xA2ge1YWQ
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPikXvzodnv
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YtK6ZoD29
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPgBVDs8gM
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEWdxMz9zS
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsKd6UKydG
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQusPNkKTAv
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7QVIwNelj
"I wouldn't worry about 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBs33yNmcJ
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9IEcAbPTv
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRO2Fzd4Uc
"When a lady's fiancé 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogNkiMtk42
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1aFlOv88z
that there might be another woman."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NLEKoghOx
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVDr4oIEDP
Angel felt like 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE6W3kqMNQ
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin868UJpHF
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukick4cJfp
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GEEqdpeNs
"Well, what do you 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvmS9ga7t8
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFthroafLa2
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpixIXZvUZZ
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzYxagAJfc
Kim for good."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nfgz7XV56
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiBZx9hXXM
Angel placed the book 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVOAqzbGj
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SJ4tvZ3Ba
started to wheel herself out of the room.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmSmrEkG3g
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1sHfu0w41
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtxih2bIRw
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhWDK6pSfu
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JwW9gI8y6
"You want me to move on 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8A3goeXO
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1HjDxft3c
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtjgHqw2qV
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2wxP24KU3
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetJbtrZ3i
"What?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTovfTTHFOs
Carly felt powerless as 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmz0ZNQffH
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMMsDmKnI
on her chair so as to look at Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrax2P2UTbk
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM5fZBlJhJ
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnZajsh28x
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkn4FydJvd
Carly felt her knees 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Aa6ZM8y8
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6760e8ZL5I
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXh1uk0WFw
lost and confused.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrmVuEZVF2
"At least you now know 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPM8iFQMY
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxP2qiMHc
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3UWzhOXj
to or else that would've killed her instead."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wLQXMjPUh
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcvzCEDdjI
"But it's the truth." 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog4DFQispM
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJAI5bZPh4
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexaliVhTsv
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROi6nbB4xD
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYBPIFari
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwRFor9Z8N
Angel looked on at 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCg2Ve6Oh
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguaY8DiqwI
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wjMzLJ02O
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwbnCTyVrR
sister anymore.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZNXI84Vv
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6shsuLxTJ
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBb0151iym
Angel flinched by the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFogY7nRhI
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj3FmU9PAj
hadn't heard their whole conversation.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tI4fKCCsO
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj25GdgKlTQ
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2RxajKYkR
Amanda continued to look816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMhUNqqMDB
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Su1yCQ6A
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhEeFo9E6F
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANzNUP4v6p
"Well, you should have 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3XmdiOkx
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLLJWkzIug
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JhDY5MLvd
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9Lw7Ge1h
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQvcWnHkgP
"Of course."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh2Wqmwnv9
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6Ituz8gi
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxsP30fWc
"Well, I better go and 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNkEnS8RdT
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzZaKffpcL
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwLC2xEpsG
my best behaviour."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELYw7Vn4Zg
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSqRJ6yKry
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUyWSH5v76
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv94QCMqJB
"You're right, dear. I'm not."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW3Wav5o0o
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmPIdtkbQ6
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfybnDAdUsR
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX3eYYVwz6
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1GpztIJTr
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7mq12LSyy
Carly looked at Angel 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7bfET5jvy
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVopaOoUKk2
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAoQ2uS4ZC
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvF2KMK7GU
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhhAHaZXPd
"What should I do?" 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXXmwaGt7a
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzrbivg6b8
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxqwevMiMV
dinner."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXxqDv0pVL
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S29SBKwKg
"Are you serious?" Angel816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pbcA3VgkD
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtOmf9uUM
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumIDP58oHQ
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EMt2zPp9R
"I wouldn't like to know816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk14wfwIMng
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTNMHMrskw
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RP9PQsyCb
future."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuwa679qzU
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPS54bEBtT
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMeqQvD9Xe
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60QPqx0k6
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCmhAeNPD4
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUu1rLvP8
Carly almost gave a 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjo0aiFGJ6
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMTdyXx2xW
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjhCAAV62B
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoWeZVLYCw
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuBCS3vjh9
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapWQuVJD9e
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkKxuz8Etz
Amanda turned her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lxzMDXOzH
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogOcI6s3hh
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ymJz5AjWp
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SwsbMSyNn
"With what?" Angel asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYREk5Fc1Kx
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K5ep2I7xt
"Carly, you aren't going816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZaKOTareJ
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k8S1uvAuE
backside. You don't want to make it worse."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NhnO1ttdo
"But aren't you scared?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pxAsScxeR
Angel raised her eyebrow816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT74YhAhrh
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXIDjaW58P
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIQrf9HEmR
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCtA6k9biw
"I'm glad you've changed816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiYXMVK51m
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulSZTgKDcX
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SigJtlfVG
would be a problem."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoqIPFDYXa
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeQ2D0aM1R
"It's none of my 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkovKXzsovq
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkXiXqqhLa
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFGPAvfxzK
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaixxqCoQUX
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIUaLxNEZp
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwNq51fd2o
When Angel left the 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMMGqDzcU
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 816Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUovSli6wJ
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
