Carly walked in through 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOClPdm3ue
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrTKhJH5yv
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrbJR036B6
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAe5O1jkXS
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWtbpQZuxI
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbeucxDSK8
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4IOXNEOne
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT5bCAf1LG
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5yqNkUup
"Have you already eaten lunch?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPP8nwjyb4
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU6D6zdF0M
"Looks like the shopping did you good."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25DMhIJ3i
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ay1Ll13jO
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCfT7jGDky
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu3SqK0XEj
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuXdnexjuQ
"In the study?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKXFgi3Llx
"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."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPUH0XPor2
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMvEfHGmii
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXBl4HpR9Q
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZPemTwR6i
"I know you're supposed 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerLBm2DpbT
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vfFAKeCe8
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMUxp2GsQ1
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7i1KhRP2Y
Carly felt herself 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5iSntYCPA
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkinXtcHuh5
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3uFKMkdCN
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPocf75xmXg
her that.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgfwfkvU5s
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFaIsyPNJU
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPfTjDrlGe
Just before the two 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTn3A3FsiY
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqBAkMEEIv
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWNIkdBPO5
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRlORfSMei
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLEdSp4GGq
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROoRWAzpeh
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4g9qtdmOF
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5yRbPowZ3
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQubwAqj4R9
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEWyXeVlG
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaFghDbSw
Carly went on her way 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfKpLlkCwa
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrxUnGdKA1
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHbLgzZq1t
from Amanda.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPlDZD53K
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE9lyL2tow
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRt3cUHwq5
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis8iROj7Do
Carly couldn't hear 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDiyJlHOp
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYHVurOQA6
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuvglfoooy
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5nFhmwTMx
Before she could get to 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eHOHdPwuc
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3hgqBjef2
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuSYhT4HkB
She opened the door to 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmfSQaejJ3
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRgaFR9ciS
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMSypvv1h
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQpVznPbZK
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzIYNOF4dV
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8rDgxVf8l
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTj33AEi3
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WPYp6JO3P
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKgnOEzKtu
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoJIdudBdH
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhtBgHug6v
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6NqbpiTY
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTkyxClqF
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKGX6JBJS
"How has been your day?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZWzDSmEXy
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrdyVo3F7S
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrd9uoaJTt
facing her sister.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHQbMPXlyh
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPYD8gLLvW
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL2MAMlUDi
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIjF3js20M
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXJgOWW8D
Angel faced the glass 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ4J9nlquV
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGF6iupDYa
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9tcbGmFkT
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1WycUo1kg
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGWWUxsVbo
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVMXEOEr2q
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6XPpWVYRA
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2nHBYKClk
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyDI4of94Q
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKCsRuCkqD
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDXuBySoDl
Carly's mouth fell open 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNc7Udt4Di
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RhzjaFwVr
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb6Bd5w2vI
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3R8Af5R7
"Do you think I would 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhnLXKaaKH
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0LQBDSSZn
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclVe0CNH1w
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9vovjcN3h
"For you, yes because 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN8EIgDIVL
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0avJdWn2Wz
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEMEDkmvn8
the mall?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohkFwYRPqS
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1shVIo39Z
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgRs5sAYPx
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDml36WheUv
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD3Ocaf39s
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ190n4KFUIi
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQu28YuzyN
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs9RknlgUh
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2DPwt6MBT
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbzFkxz1t
"I wouldn't worry about 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zimL4QN0E
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnBhaCXdZ4
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynM9oxkZ4p
"When a lady's fiancé 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqltydO7oI
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6gIDK9m5g
that there might be another woman."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj64wyt3A5
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f3Mx7eGaD
Angel felt like 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEblljmztO1
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs6hEfO8kt
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi8DjE04kQ
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4dzgsv9u
"Well, what do you 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZrTErTi2q
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehG9hs4Rig
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTuN9pJ96
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpU2omOQ4A
Kim for good."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MfvsG2FB2
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmZJhyzz6a
Angel placed the book 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuENQFEEUX
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfx4UMfJpR
started to wheel herself out of the room.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0tBLzETc
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMcXDPcqkL
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrV4uZOGML
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubkUMv4i0
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ822kETplNs
"You want me to move on 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvLSpTiy54
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXXABYmscF
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSZ8jEYQkR
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp2ubAUgms
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBLri9E9da
"What?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8meUCxlkB
Carly felt powerless as 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbV6bNrl74
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmciEDQJPRW
on her chair so as to look at Carly.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXl2bgBpGp
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35bkJDMY0G
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0to9gNyQ
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I6ZjvvJBK
Carly felt her knees 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9MP4tf5X1
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WpfztGpl
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZRarfDaMz
lost and confused.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb88PIqVUdZ
"At least you now know 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34musKyJp6
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnMwytfqJ6
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtvtOIXDc8
to or else that would've killed her instead."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsSpWUDK0k
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRjN9QC2V
"But it's the truth." 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8ySHtn51
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCb9Y5ImFv
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55o9jLPds
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGui8uUp4rT
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiXXCZojop
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGTX9aVspo
Angel looked on at 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4H84PcSg
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM6uNKCQMi
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxdV4XG4cc
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QypHFZ45W
sister anymore.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHUoJ7GSjR
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgXTTkELQf
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpC0H1uzfO
Angel flinched by the 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NscLOY0Yd
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJQT9JflGW
hadn't heard their whole conversation.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxVbkVfNk2
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.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ZjI90lRV
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixmmctZlDc
Amanda continued to look951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDox5ezltTq
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbWJXTZJsl
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGsyMNrHxG
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbKXOKVVU
"Well, you should have 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHMMkkICMM
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4sf6a9WZD
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW8yURB9i6
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZvya4hYAY
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqko64e2p1
"Of course."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdZI45wCui
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4CXq1k0zg
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2XHvN8R7N
"Well, I better go and 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiO13kIbuL
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz9c3uHass
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD4eefhdbR
my best behaviour."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ua84gUpQ3
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYsydsUbpb
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ2H8spq6z
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0astwXPbm
"You're right, dear. I'm not."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx5rff7D5u
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9tjFSz7m
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQGDqSkxwb
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8VUAxPKyL
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj9Z6iLlo5
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2QUJqgr3x
Carly looked at Angel 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOS7GaXbbF
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE5jJtj3oJ
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjiyufpCaP
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpVjj8ZnQ
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJSAJPbBXt
"What should I do?" 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpcJfW28rG
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjozSnD6y
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGWiTpwfW
dinner."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymkHMJRtGr
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKceULq2CJz
"Are you serious?" Angel951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb8hQmJDxI
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9rnIcDVGr
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlce4Ih3RJh
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZFNeBvlq
"I wouldn't like to know951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoKKp9AssZ
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96yuaqzpYr
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEnR33fAD5
future."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXfLRlep3g
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA0xMPffOt
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPRjsOFBUR
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqvWoYmWw5
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqEzt7ejAe
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFxaIQfO6X
Carly almost gave a 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabeBarvRkT
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPSHAWufSm
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZePI75Cll
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGohakw1A
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcALCcyTBCE
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlYOf9wR1Z
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYyqEMRQBu
Amanda turned her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshanyBzCGR
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKp6K1MYx
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo3G4ah3hD
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8kNFkqYmr
"With what?" Angel asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWYTG1mRZi
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGjZFCwp0B
"Carly, you aren't going951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5SCEZINJY
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5EhTm7UeH
backside. You don't want to make it worse."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGNJdk2hlI
"But aren't you scared?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1tQigLpGJ
Angel raised her eyebrow951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b2KTm8vJe
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC0QISyKLa
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpHu3zd1YJ
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iWJNKsUYz
"I'm glad you've changed951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYH4ts5dNY
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0IxQ1T01A
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7A5CUf5xv
would be a problem."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq3rjxXgea
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIto4vFWODV
"It's none of my 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqlQS9c4XT
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3sAjvjVM
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZfcOd6OT0
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMfEik8wM
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RMUkhUA2
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjF7CyKWSY
When Angel left the 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06SnNk8xo
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 951Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNswrXtkme
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
