Carly walked in through 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2mNiVW093
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1WlvKjhC
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYAdxPVEN3
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNBrOdGAml
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBCt4FkyWB
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazDHjyjfJ5
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdvVEPv6TF
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRijGeEy86N
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxymA8PR6i1
"Have you already eaten lunch?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLk4JBXA6y
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhToHt69abK
"Looks like the shopping did you good."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJX1BpxCd5
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ2F1sLX90
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvIpX5uHwp
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH26gmf1Vz
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKLNGIXG8T
"In the study?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUjLjhSeQ4
"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."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjfmr66FV
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS9mTRdTQN
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S3JskfFu5
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bYfyotdz
"I know you're supposed 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygCyijNExG
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F32EjL9UI
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqTk6xbbdy
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj72BUbqG61
Carly felt herself 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBPBTwWM7U
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDFmtvTwzc
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIzB4x1KK
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwIDyXGK5
her that.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpzjGH5PgD
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkHTiHgnUL
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djJXEQpmW
Just before the two 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAN5sOqP82
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ4b3wrC7Y
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWue2Y7xfC
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYohRV8Sj89
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9wvEXW1EU
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XMqmRqdym
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoJsTVjez
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvFohkjqqc
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCDWgoiqK5
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpJmTkDGa
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiCnmSoF2q
Carly went on her way 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIF2vkzhOj
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpmuo0L9IU
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmOT0IOVb9
from Amanda.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbPC0YMm9i
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKetLSjarpg
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMJWAH6tzU
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ379qmVLnSW
Carly couldn't hear 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVER5QyZgs
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0vDRJmHY4
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhA9xle4Ot
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DKTDWqkI
Before she could get to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLQryLmXBt
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KuWvEI7MK
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOeZZtOE6S
She opened the door to 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2DK9A3sge
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBf96rTFg9
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jw2adapz
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PYRjzorGO
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBiC3i3hio
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRac6eS7a9
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx052ujhEp
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaweFcppve2
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNn0rKM2sq
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts2ZJhPdi1
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69GwyYgK0C
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFD5vGS7Fy
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lz9coDOP8
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw2HuIs6LC
"How has been your day?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUPrtotYup
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk0813KpHm
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLkSNd2ZpD
facing her sister.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIhkRZWdpk
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEpWdFaxpi
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtrCGNlqTU
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4Ab6D62x
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgPbKD977s
Angel faced the glass 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FXVsVhE6f
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORUaFlam0
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQBrLFpyU
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8PnVk4BxQ
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KXWXQs8cn
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabodzwor5d
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYaEehWyoS
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iqga6IvS9
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHoxlNyOjy
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxTfRnljFY
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhC2GxXwpF
Carly's mouth fell open 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGhzfGtaka
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhvKqgDUx1
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqYkLnxkQi
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUvFBCeOUn
"Do you think I would 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1f5aWsDZA
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVji5PuWEW
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwe9eoxsgq
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa45IJluovD
"For you, yes because 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfiXcNjMz0
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jcegI8adF
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbCUh5QQ0w
the mall?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6HCbGQSl
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlWAxxH8Rh
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Fk5F9MQQ
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvH8KF2wQZ
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWePEveWto
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjz9sU7I6I
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvuacZiPq
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS1Xv7pZvh
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldSGOyVIT5
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfo405KG5x
"I wouldn't worry about 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptBOaoJ48m
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80tA0gldbe
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzW7stg0Nf
"When a lady's fiancé 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjesw9Un1WQ
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt01yvaAmzt
that there might be another woman."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQLiRC27gE
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1jF9c8s05
Angel felt like 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA51yu2qabs
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUm35KYTs
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWe4zNCrEf
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBb2DqBxQ2
"Well, what do you 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YhbF35INL
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKhaADNyed
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLtzguCTNb
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl9DJrajqA
Kim for good."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi3ktPt5cD
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BO4nTYhg
Angel placed the book 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYs9Q30ivM
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4BocBq6xK
started to wheel herself out of the room.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuaBXjIHN1
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v3GLWgNRz
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3K2dHTbQd
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSMpBBeNKv
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAX0axNSH7
"You want me to move on 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBMAk5EyeN
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE9oXP5ZAN
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMruYW8k4w
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWAJGECEc
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdURoPaSUgS
"What?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ot2pHsk2P
Carly felt powerless as 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RsPzmtjyD
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF5mAtmfAY
on her chair so as to look at Carly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYshU8CKMWE
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3225JNrgU
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrqKieG4ZN
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhMFBcPZ5
Carly felt her knees 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1aJxPzQp3
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJidbL3GgyG
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GE5cyu14E
lost and confused.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I5fNp1UcS
"At least you now know 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5pgdd6VmD
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dzGLvmBZ9
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1fVXOoORR
to or else that would've killed her instead."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9DdOPaYV
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1KJcbnq7s
"But it's the truth." 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaUz7Ctncp
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmVVyJKEHD
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsBRuSDSgv
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwStoG3B0G7
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0pm5q69rs
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXDgREMGUg
Angel looked on at 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYF0JjCt6
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd3H3ep7oa
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkk2yEEjyV
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLQFeENLU
sister anymore.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gdb9uGNql
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyhVmaPz3D
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80OuUdchIO
Angel flinched by the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3fcbfATBT
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyXTLfBD1Y
hadn't heard their whole conversation.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93vCPXb8n
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.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTuOrXBt1f
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbdokZMPoz
Amanda continued to look823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP8J0lxh8O
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEOmtH8Y2h
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsezBTI54BG
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMBKGCtWYU
"Well, you should have 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWf9TJ3CB
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJvLNyqSw9
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsXf6W3FzL
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90thOKXXZ5
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ZAYUwE8l
"Of course."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtgIFytDKR
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQWtIzwtfz
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSaFwVzKNt
"Well, I better go and 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0P5Kw1SJA
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUqJFU3dgq
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mDSixMMgK
my best behaviour."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvegVYW8lh
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2O6gPAmb
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeqp5vM1yD
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7HfwAgSu
"You're right, dear. I'm not."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuSyeD1sCX
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNep8vHvkEs
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nYQn1JkXe
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkUztRRZYu
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqXeGYEfvv
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8lZOB9oFa
Carly looked at Angel 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZIYlTPr30
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS3K9HsTSu
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEpfLY0pYJ
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoz6QNfVnN
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYGavVnt3C
"What should I do?" 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFgwick5IO
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE1uHRkEds
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw14CAAHpe
dinner."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DioyU5Xco
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ESlAUMZLk
"Are you serious?" Angel823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH7nAz4Ele
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetWIRcBie
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81sl0tXSv
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJz1l5fw9
"I wouldn't like to know823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Qjz9eYQa
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00YBIpFKOp
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkU0gwAHLF
future."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzv64BzxEb
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17QKaVfKCS
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsvu6xEyCY
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8rKQzKnfX
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGrnG2715m
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswTa5bsSKq
Carly almost gave a 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Gu2ja6Kw
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu720qVidgR
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbNrOPQNH
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUENxao4mo
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83FldG0mb
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZgYgdbXH8
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKGfTxCe0t
Amanda turned her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyI9eD3L3P
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO25NKWdgt
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Z2nu4926
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22MJkdtKW0
"With what?" Angel asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FynAuK3mk
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ842x6cEDAs
"Carly, you aren't going823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ni3ENvV4
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYjC66PD2P
backside. You don't want to make it worse."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPgpCBQ513
"But aren't you scared?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhQAOmmsBq
Angel raised her eyebrow823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTIU9TicY
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquMdRgtmAP
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfceKZoCRCa
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlHFuS5JX6
"I'm glad you've changed823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkerX3BbmP
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcXpfOrPjp
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuqRsb9cH5
would be a problem."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXhJbUoTIl
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQoasewOU
"It's none of my 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaNwyfNzmm
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj62PWNcNp
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWG4khP4Le
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjllnbBkGw
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV31Ux6vJCe
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhRjLc69X
When Angel left the 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD64o2CCTrM
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 823Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVEcKjKZUf
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
