The phone alarm woke Leo921Please respect copyright.PENANAlXRZNhTsWN
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on921Please respect copyright.PENANAIQPu0NPZgb
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 921Please respect copyright.PENANACZmGelKfsm
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 921Please respect copyright.PENANAsuha7x8ZX2
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 921Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Zb8PwCGh
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAgyFmKrjvHk
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 921Please respect copyright.PENANAkFuMWhjsQE
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 921Please respect copyright.PENANAnF2mnmu5uB
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.921Please respect copyright.PENANAmCV3rGPoMC
After taking a shower, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAvLMr6vQfAl
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the921Please respect copyright.PENANA0QEgzB79ch
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 921Please respect copyright.PENANAndSNHCmm39
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 921Please respect copyright.PENANAwbgcncpVR0
ever. 921Please respect copyright.PENANAKMsuMwiEXh
He soon went out of his 921Please respect copyright.PENANAM8EzuLGa2Z
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 921Please respect copyright.PENANAfu4QiRp1av
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was921Please respect copyright.PENANAJDFz8z3rWT
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind921Please respect copyright.PENANAsvmI3lgGej
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 921Please respect copyright.PENANA0xWOMJo7lK
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 921Please respect copyright.PENANAA1HuohRBvl
him.921Please respect copyright.PENANA7vf4qEIv5i
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 921Please respect copyright.PENANAzjj6kzp0vI
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.921Please respect copyright.PENANAx7UgFcENr9
"Don't ruin the mood by 921Please respect copyright.PENANASzan0ef36Q
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 921Please respect copyright.PENANAfXV1wRU5HJ
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."921Please respect copyright.PENANAFrKUE9AczV
Leo smiled as he 921Please respect copyright.PENANAQcpgOT8wIS
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 921Please respect copyright.PENANAWrpjt6quf4
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 921Please respect copyright.PENANAbIElq75LAZ
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.921Please respect copyright.PENANAYsuMqDqCnx
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 921Please respect copyright.PENANA9NxbeU1Tk7
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 921Please respect copyright.PENANAnPhoFT7Vqf
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.921Please respect copyright.PENANATxs0qI8RFj
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."921Please respect copyright.PENANAa3REPetYDy
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.921Please respect copyright.PENANAoiVjChU9XP
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."921Please respect copyright.PENANAz7ykPYD4I0
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAf2BUqbgiYl
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.921Please respect copyright.PENANA5cZ6taJmJe
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."921Please respect copyright.PENANA2LeqXVyTbn
"She is, actually," said921Please respect copyright.PENANAY4xFAO7AnJ
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 921Please respect copyright.PENANAINlzRfeGEx
anything to you. You have me around."921Please respect copyright.PENANABqwUX8FTK9
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."921Please respect copyright.PENANA8aaybzzTMt
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAr6L3H1EYBw
Before Carly could say 921Please respect copyright.PENANAtH0FppeUYX
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 921Please respect copyright.PENANA1VLWaTgjKN
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.921Please respect copyright.PENANAiekso9gt4s
"What was that?" Leo asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANAt4CcmLk2IE
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.921Please respect copyright.PENANAXyi9xaEpm5
Carly got to Angel's 921Please respect copyright.PENANAqhrRZgq6uj
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down921Please respect copyright.PENANAi5dhRjVQbs
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her921Please respect copyright.PENANAARyijz32md
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.921Please respect copyright.PENANAWBP7NDxHRr
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.921Please respect copyright.PENANAadBT941YO5
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANA9wAZEibHWu
"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."921Please respect copyright.PENANAoUhrcPy5UU
"You know you're not 921Please respect copyright.PENANAmPLTlUyOlZ
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking921Please respect copyright.PENANAGBnuwN5hOW
for help. You never change, Angel."921Please respect copyright.PENANAlvnCr8Eamn
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."921Please respect copyright.PENANAreZg9UyScZ
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"921Please respect copyright.PENANA590GhjQE4M
"No thanks, I'm fine."921Please respect copyright.PENANAFPQ7bRD5T7
Angel went on to look at921Please respect copyright.PENANAVE0FwFJZTa
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and921Please respect copyright.PENANA5Mv19jfkwB
then she went on to stare at Carly.921Please respect copyright.PENANA8KdYav7eoR
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANA1fTcxtwfLp
Carly paused as she 921Please respect copyright.PENANABE0pekagyf
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister921Please respect copyright.PENANAiypeTibNuK
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 921Please respect copyright.PENANAqtFuKIySzf
Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANADry29PtuJD
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."921Please respect copyright.PENANAxVh5FvpX09
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 921Please respect copyright.PENANACqZshbL7PB
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 921Please respect copyright.PENANAlWhXtgDMqN
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 921Please respect copyright.PENANACfhS9wsmHs
hurt or anything."921Please respect copyright.PENANAm5pIBHjrYq
"May you please drag me 921Please respect copyright.PENANArPE6lTnmev
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 921Please respect copyright.PENANABkFcDWRHMF
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.921Please respect copyright.PENANAKnTTiFl8Ql
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.921Please respect copyright.PENANAZmu9HEhFYr
"Just like Carly said, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAJJpSPKmbER
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 921Please respect copyright.PENANAeLuVefn7yH
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.921Please respect copyright.PENANArCDtEoGm65
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."921Please respect copyright.PENANAZzZmIvV0KP
The room soon had an 921Please respect copyright.PENANAk9JuDBBcsS
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 921Please respect copyright.PENANALRNj5CZstS
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAIiVMS7hGW7
awkwardness.921Please respect copyright.PENANAmUhEQCklPe
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANANPSnzFTR3G
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."921Please respect copyright.PENANA0zFFNqnCT0
"Sure."921Please respect copyright.PENANAUTr1NrVgXA
Leo stared at Carly 921Please respect copyright.PENANAyfw1YqFBNR
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 921Please respect copyright.PENANAyAC6clKYjX
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 921Please respect copyright.PENANADkffQ9YJVl
avoid any more problems.921Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ9pmv13pY
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.921Please respect copyright.PENANAA3ugQoENAm
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.921Please respect copyright.PENANAn4q97ZpKje
"Tea would be lovely, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAoAs45kYhxb
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 921Please respect copyright.PENANA2ut2gpXjjZ
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 921Please respect copyright.PENANAxpxds9Nhaw
could have helped you."921Please respect copyright.PENANAi9NjuLR5oN
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.921Please respect copyright.PENANAXAJj0wf77S
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."921Please respect copyright.PENANAMeP5l17utM
Carly gladly smiled at 921Please respect copyright.PENANAcrDVFtQbMy
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 921Please respect copyright.PENANA3ruFlPh4RP
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 921Please respect copyright.PENANAZDwLwEnCJC
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 921Please respect copyright.PENANAXCjCWrLB73
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?921Please respect copyright.PENANAySyEXdWRgp
And Leo? It was strange 921Please respect copyright.PENANASz8Un2RyrA
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 921Please respect copyright.PENANA7vDNubXvfM
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 921Please respect copyright.PENANA3MJpB7dVx8
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.921Please respect copyright.PENANA1b8IFL7pJQ
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.921Please respect copyright.PENANAfNx93jmflM
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANAtVoUebHuTL
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.921Please respect copyright.PENANAF4RO4si9qx
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ0l5VAaw9
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."921Please respect copyright.PENANAuRi3YDABUl
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAFB8JCA17Sd
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."921Please respect copyright.PENANAsGzOa1xkRo
While Amanda and Angel 921Please respect copyright.PENANArIdM9DyTJf
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 921Please respect copyright.PENANADLYc48u1Ec
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared921Please respect copyright.PENANASoxBZueAD6
at the door.921Please respect copyright.PENANALUDSnhN7NR
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.921Please respect copyright.PENANAuSzRlMOdyy
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."921Please respect copyright.PENANAYLvjP7ZLDz
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."921Please respect copyright.PENANAgIaIiYJZUR
"No, she didn't." Carly 921Please respect copyright.PENANAVzJhC0zmE6
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 921Please respect copyright.PENANA91CHtCf22v
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 921Please respect copyright.PENANA0illZ85WLj
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 921Please respect copyright.PENANAzwerrl7ZZR
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."921Please respect copyright.PENANAIaZ7Yd9LKt
"I don't care about 921Please respect copyright.PENANAwTuUkLXA1B
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from921Please respect copyright.PENANACL3oKxkzoI
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 921Please respect copyright.PENANA5GPBaANEuL
are real."921Please respect copyright.PENANAmk6dxWFAFS
Carly smiled and she 921Please respect copyright.PENANA6tqA0ijbuT
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 921Please respect copyright.PENANAfvpjJb6VrI
that she didn't want him to let her go.921Please respect copyright.PENANAlNWVkD67nY
She quickly turned 921Please respect copyright.PENANAAz3xElG0dj
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAvPWSxHGoKp
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 921Please respect copyright.PENANAIl4uAtyxQx
They would freak out."921Please respect copyright.PENANAL9WMzO1ELG
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.921Please respect copyright.PENANAuVFuVTs7Jd
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."921Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXUlZdTJU
Leo continued to look 921Please respect copyright.PENANAcUFfXO8L6j
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAleHzOArpGc
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.921Please respect copyright.PENANAzwscNq1aDU
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."921Please respect copyright.PENANAFXynJKGX6F
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"921Please respect copyright.PENANAQcDQbiKQjd
"What's going on here?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAJ27Ll8WXZM
Leo and Carly almost 921Please respect copyright.PENANAjejDvbgSMk
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a921Please respect copyright.PENANAS1zebzD2hP
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with921Please respect copyright.PENANA73oFlArfPI
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.921Please respect copyright.PENANAp0gID1FoFe
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAt8aLl9f9jc
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."921Please respect copyright.PENANA3kRUxKZMzI
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.921Please respect copyright.PENANA3dQnZxRp60
"For Amanda and Angel."921Please respect copyright.PENANA7oanejraos
"They are both awake?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAgcAZ4FKJzp
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."921Please respect copyright.PENANAIKLcWGnIfG
Mrs McDonell looked at 921Please respect copyright.PENANAydMt1iBD9r
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 921Please respect copyright.PENANAzLKR6j1A2K
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 921Please respect copyright.PENANAUqNwSO9Ng2
off.921Please respect copyright.PENANAGWx7EH2j44
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbSiXQLrEDz
Carly took the tray 921Please respect copyright.PENANA8uxc4klo8P
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAOWcnZRG8bh
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 921Please respect copyright.PENANA3fZ516FGUG
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAwmrVR502Gr
corner.921Please respect copyright.PENANAE9dLJkNzTH
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."921Please respect copyright.PENANAbEnvCWmmYk
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.921Please respect copyright.PENANAevm5CcnIct
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."921Please respect copyright.PENANAmCspIczHK1
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."921Please respect copyright.PENANAArw56NRyyG
Leo made his way to the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAdOeLvN4s2J
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 921Please respect copyright.PENANAwYrFpY0UuX
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANAtc3ti4hbjp
By seven, almost 921Please respect copyright.PENANACkHTlAQhZJ
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 921Please respect copyright.PENANARvcETtZzoV
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 921Please respect copyright.PENANAibB7WtrhDH
the lovely smell was intoxicating.921Please respect copyright.PENANA69lsD3mMGQ
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"921Please respect copyright.PENANAmmAUc9Ghvm
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 921Please respect copyright.PENANAffvBNVJWqy
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 921Please respect copyright.PENANAn23FdIuJCM
time to go to school.921Please respect copyright.PENANA6ydp68evz5
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.921Please respect copyright.PENANA0D0f0HcqEV
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAeosjxWzUSl
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."921Please respect copyright.PENANArRCWHHfjEM
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.921Please respect copyright.PENANALPsDFIx6xJ
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.921Please respect copyright.PENANAEulHXajmXx
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.921Please respect copyright.PENANAVTyMtl8ioo
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANASQtWwV3yqp
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAXVMCA3pfPU
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."921Please respect copyright.PENANA7KN5znaKZg
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.921Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ9uRfNqR8
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAoXnUehfyKY
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and921Please respect copyright.PENANAK5c3UoOrjR
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 921Please respect copyright.PENANA9aernYfvKF
them.921Please respect copyright.PENANAoS5b9XkVTe
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.921Please respect copyright.PENANA4BNHuzoKm7
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.921Please respect copyright.PENANAkiLExOsraZ
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."921Please respect copyright.PENANAy5G8IddKHo
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANAlKusKQNpzH
"Right," Leo replied.921Please respect copyright.PENANAH44W77e4n3
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAETQaJ0iX7J
Just as they were about 921Please respect copyright.PENANAzLsFRp1cOC
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 921Please respect copyright.PENANACXeYGBbsq8
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 921Please respect copyright.PENANAzZvIlYFCQ7
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.921Please respect copyright.PENANAyLjHgpsc9N
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.921Please respect copyright.PENANAdldOc354Rl
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbMg5PF9vpJ
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."921Please respect copyright.PENANAsixRUqDy0q
Before Leo could reply 921Please respect copyright.PENANAgmFO7Elazq
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 921Please respect copyright.PENANA7DL4raLrri
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 921Please respect copyright.PENANAsVoNLOCaOi
looked away feeling irritated.921Please respect copyright.PENANAFYSyhrOfGS
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANAtOmh12Ru4s
Everyone else on the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAw56IxovEtK
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 921Please respect copyright.PENANAA65lFESElg
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAWw9uwsgz5b
except Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANAEtxpAet6HR
"This is just lovely," 921Please respect copyright.PENANASXoH1q21Kf
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 921Please respect copyright.PENANAsr4lj3vv21
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 921Please respect copyright.PENANAFWzzanUc83
really early."921Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Blv7Kdez
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."921Please respect copyright.PENANA8MF2hkfNsG
"Your wife isn't here, 921Please respect copyright.PENANAPtmH3WlVIm
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 921Please respect copyright.PENANArNL0YTxWHx
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."921Please respect copyright.PENANAHfqo5BmMnZ
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.921Please respect copyright.PENANAHT7I92geiP
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.921Please respect copyright.PENANA5lKoSdUwrn
Angel almost spelt the 921Please respect copyright.PENANALbR3pOaw9t
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbYalBAEerG
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other921Please respect copyright.PENANANJVmbg7ZjY
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 921Please respect copyright.PENANAyRe0oK5Ktm
just ran a hand through his hair.921Please respect copyright.PENANAQU4zPdzQjD
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.921Please respect copyright.PENANAfSNhWc5Nom
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.921Please respect copyright.PENANA2teOfl8mJb
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."921Please respect copyright.PENANAkYjcbsn14Y
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.921Please respect copyright.PENANAOShChQ4dPR
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."921Please respect copyright.PENANApEp0KHbtVe
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."921Please respect copyright.PENANA7U4eNexoaQ
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.921Please respect copyright.PENANASVWW8m1aGI
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.921Please respect copyright.PENANASmvET5z5xf
"Have to go to school," he said.921Please respect copyright.PENANAZiA95HvODl
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbEJGijmOjW
Oliver came round the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAsbIHMBXAmO
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 921Please respect copyright.PENANA05RSHl7rBg
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 921Please respect copyright.PENANABYnbp77H51
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 921Please respect copyright.PENANAiczaVg5Roq
ears.921Please respect copyright.PENANAjHRvYY5r4W
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.921Please respect copyright.PENANA8TDLulaIqu
"So adorable," said Carly.921Please respect copyright.PENANAMSHfEf26OO
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbC2cqR6A5u
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."921Please respect copyright.PENANAVPxseqGOwP
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."921Please respect copyright.PENANABBgrvOIKmQ
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."921Please respect copyright.PENANAvnT7ekD6Me
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAkTZOjXiatG
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.921Please respect copyright.PENANAENottZDqVo
"Well, I do."921Please respect copyright.PENANAKZwQtGamcd
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."921Please respect copyright.PENANAEkc4PeSs5L
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.921Please respect copyright.PENANAwb9G9mDRog
"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."921Please respect copyright.PENANAUrathUQY09
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.921Please respect copyright.PENANABV14cGE1cz
"I'll find you in the 921Please respect copyright.PENANA59DnjlLEkv
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 921Please respect copyright.PENANAqplWuU16Ih
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.921Please respect copyright.PENANACR3erVntDU
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.921Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Sj9HGN4V
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.921Please respect copyright.PENANArVIFwnqXTC
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."921Please respect copyright.PENANA2kjvD7wfJj
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."921Please respect copyright.PENANAJs61orRain
"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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAXatkQq0Mxq
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.921Please respect copyright.PENANAtjFl3viThC
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.921Please respect copyright.PENANAP1UmolCfqQ
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.921Please respect copyright.PENANAl9jc7lqxy0
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAhACE5TUqcU
Before Carly could 921Please respect copyright.PENANA3sL5wWJeHz
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 921Please respect copyright.PENANArFVTYXVvwY
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 921Please respect copyright.PENANAdIxKSLvNwq
interested about what her sister was up to.921Please respect copyright.PENANAtY6nbpDzUg
"I'll join you," said 921Please respect copyright.PENANAHsy1Ybv6oT
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures921Please respect copyright.PENANApe7rBPdj7O
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."921Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtyekZ8c0
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."921Please respect copyright.PENANA3c3VVJ9Ub2
"I'll go get ready," 921Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHK4xGyMI
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 921Please respect copyright.PENANAKR9iPNRX7y
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 921Please respect copyright.PENANAPyZhlgn3wZ
times.921Please respect copyright.PENANAgWyNxIoYAt
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.921Please respect copyright.PENANAT8zcTf3ERz
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.921Please respect copyright.PENANAGwZL6fcPkF
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."921Please respect copyright.PENANAJUfR3mJiHr
The last thing Leo 921Please respect copyright.PENANA2tmdM3vEp0
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 921Please respect copyright.PENANAsJxexSRF3e
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.921Please respect copyright.PENANAJBLQMsg4Cp
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbEgehbtzBw
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."921Please respect copyright.PENANA3f9bsTEKNe
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.921Please respect copyright.PENANAYtFaYdxaaC
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.921Please respect copyright.PENANAZk5eWC8e0n
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."921Please respect copyright.PENANAq0lMasq4Zu
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.921Please respect copyright.PENANAbkMW9z9uFM
"Yes. It's really 921Please respect copyright.PENANAvkGOFNnvnJ
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk921Please respect copyright.PENANAD4jo5TGDc1
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 921Please respect copyright.PENANAu0ztmvECDn
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 921Please respect copyright.PENANAw644Pj25W4
since I'm so old."921Please respect copyright.PENANAO3K0LU17WV
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.921Please respect copyright.PENANAKU6V018jES
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.921Please respect copyright.PENANAAX05k1gpdF
"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?"921Please respect copyright.PENANAHvVWUvT3nm
Leo sighed. He looked 921Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6q8aM4cfF
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife921Please respect copyright.PENANAVJyk1ddLSg
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 921Please respect copyright.PENANAMs4lCLR5Cc
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.921Please respect copyright.PENANAQtEP4w9qaD
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."921Please respect copyright.PENANAsPLT0dnMGR
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
