Carly walked in through 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz33d23Ij5Z
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9i48tMs6
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa62zycocE
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91dM2fb4VP
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZeMJGGQ8H
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi42SSnuvAC
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAALDB7P9C
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20AvTjijxO
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpmcO53Fv3
"Have you already eaten lunch?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIZKuuzMyG
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvL9Wuj70W
"Looks like the shopping did you good."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRF1hJUXaa
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K99x9YfuO
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqeYnZFWr
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ85leRvvzX
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7sPL6KNoR
"In the study?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgGXX3nwZR
"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."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKjqFkHoTP
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEhr5AdOJj
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FUzycIm3x
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdwpPxvnJb
"I know you're supposed 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6uob9j2M
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HIIxLGokO
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY7EzBgMA4
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ999SUTWIne
Carly felt herself 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20ffhhSw7M
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkw3iNk1XK
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfrXNTpW0w
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbl36tSNHH
her that.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlTkHdpTtZ
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyipBBWoIT
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4xCstZNW
Just before the two 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yi64SPZoy
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdQX6wnBP8
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsPmN0KsE
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvwzfI5ic5
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbgegYeFf
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSAQZYqqzK
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhr6Ujq1D
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PiU366ekK
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7WKGfiJlD
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH6M7rxfZt
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDpSezpsAt
Carly went on her way 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwrqLlbV4
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfwvtkTod4
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX47XYfxTtf
from Amanda.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyi4VhQBh
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELNs6HrW9F
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWpPWvq5XY
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWo6dOiOlP
Carly couldn't hear 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZY05T4HPC
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlG8Dw7SqR
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdonY3kz5A
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs490QLeN7n
Before she could get to 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vHSZ0j8Br
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSRvoJxeP9
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f6yn5k0np
She opened the door to 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU7T8KAz83
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k7eJtHvys
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Y22H0vIo
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNCbrdCWF
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmasqKhoINe
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5tOjWCPWK
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQqn35TK0
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgf4jCwwGc
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmR0rIdni
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SWWNIlGHP
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC7gtfaRDw
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7pJEeAQM
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ499X1cdPCy
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ328iNAv93H
"How has been your day?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsDSfSSX9
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejn2M2NRYV
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcpYEMYkw
facing her sister.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhet2RfBZD8
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5viYAxsneH
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD7xS3lxnU
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX5L5ianax
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlp0KLBgxY
Angel faced the glass 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pbwzPQr7s
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkX50CcO9Q
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwHQizxo63
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n8Xs1EvVX
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WccLkU3n
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIpdVqzQ2L
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrN7HkxYy4
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CjyfxH7PI
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET6gK6Q9a5
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWSvfgeNR
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDnIxcr1gR
Carly's mouth fell open 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGrPzcPsf9
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgwLKMN53V
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9MeKvtmY7
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91KMDAoQN8
"Do you think I would 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Q0bW7zT8
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmx4JU4riM
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6lCQP4eG
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIgLCaB70Y
"For you, yes because 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoMH4qmzVb
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7YdRRQyjU
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOxPc1G4oN
the mall?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnE9rF38fw
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSYMqEhbdo
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPnlIyuFh5
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kEqG5YxCR
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrKewNgWdH
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfHmjLCkgq
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUz0ZFYjJ
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8vvvUWzj2
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7WkBwXwKr
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8knDmipS6
"I wouldn't worry about 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwcuurYlsn
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yF00vPfPR
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57CahiPiQ
"When a lady's fiancé 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGBqL5Obdt
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM96Z8n8QO
that there might be another woman."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DK1IYEUjs
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSUmK2iGOP
Angel felt like 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt63YATY3zL
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCXJsb3we
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7f6Rw5LIt
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqsBzEYWyV
"Well, what do you 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN27keiJOg0
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSqIPLD4L9
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnM5j02ucm
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLk23MMfne
Kim for good."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NlxrbryMU
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdc4x2r763
Angel placed the book 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqmmmdaPj
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKbWczqBws
started to wheel herself out of the room.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8WSPf96E
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk9hhtBLgC
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYxre24Eg3
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5MuKgwyy
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApbw3QRzP7
"You want me to move on 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQjnE7RBNi
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcnMteQ6wu
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwktHN9gge1
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM8Tkw2hyG
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx9vPByOgV
"What?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJIxLmtQdV
Carly felt powerless as 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hwygT3FKX
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRbOWkayp
on her chair so as to look at Carly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGVwu0Wia
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9bZkMXjjH
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlk4MuYKGF
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPwdmhtBuM
Carly felt her knees 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJglzbZXKm
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqneefMGbZ
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwsXKzHgYP
lost and confused.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxuLjGpAmN
"At least you now know 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYYWa8mDsZ
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm4UVyr15k
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHvQFGzY3
to or else that would've killed her instead."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlkPF4ClZ7
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMNOmRbXJa
"But it's the truth." 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYvyowDkTd
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWXnhR1UkZ
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFm1aJottm
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl2laMfdDq
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zB4I9T8pB
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNKi0py2LX
Angel looked on at 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlualdxgNt
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm07t8PWCv4
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnjYOsS5Ki
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxULkipoJdV
sister anymore.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCi0NVy8b
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8gEeTbObj
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnM8Ty4DPn
Angel flinched by the 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jwI13icyl
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVqLIllLbJ
hadn't heard their whole conversation.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCcb86ytIM
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.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaryaYERpor
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZnemTXm9
Amanda continued to look762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ005wccXZSx
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSZthAKAnV
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWz2iylmIs
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE41Dp1f9Z
"Well, you should have 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz3XbEWsbb
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkpoWuZ9wJ
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnRcavpw54
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSovRj1nTG
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIonH0gYAD
"Of course."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6x0u7axG
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7DaiBJic
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGixKSOhXi
"Well, I better go and 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL98g8VFpc
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLTUxCyFf0
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Wnb6S9k1
my best behaviour."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYugPSq1Zi
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEOyddumY5
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNcYxwsaNE
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3IQWS8SF
"You're right, dear. I'm not."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKpHVc8EDa
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvtFK8z0FM
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIfyLyHXoy
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KN13qwbvY
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUJWP1bpd0
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ2z6ZImcd
Carly looked at Angel 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyefcgNHpw
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1Y49RxEw
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSERl98hqV8
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8hml1jqfA
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLDQKHHRO
"What should I do?" 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7NZctVSBG
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1l7e6GRr4
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed3nqqPbYI
dinner."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkprTowKE3
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYy363d9LD
"Are you serious?" Angel762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQETHIJ3IZ
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPLn2Crdvc
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCKBJTjvVe
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUi744L8dd
"I wouldn't like to know762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2KFYjTU0t
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3q7t6WjRJ
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKTQh5mYLO
future."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSIJxPg5hx
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UaRlMUbxA
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTm3TBLaLl
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2SWrJEakU
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxob0Eqrks
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIoecmlwTy
Carly almost gave a 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsExWFMNq6
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cBZs2fSXy
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJKsDo4HX0
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhKSfCKbJ
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm3yn1NElU
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4EcKexww3
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnn5NuRZr9
Amanda turned her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeWNCRhKQ3
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJHdhvUvxv
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9q3n1enpj
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3QVOLRmpF
"With what?" Angel asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEUpWyuzEm
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn8WPjNY86
"Carly, you aren't going762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnE4iHWbu
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmOcNXiGCC
backside. You don't want to make it worse."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJTjfOJbaH
"But aren't you scared?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CAFz8Dm6i
Angel raised her eyebrow762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EL9SojjIW
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCGoIV1s49
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuaWmTIU3v
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7yjUtQzwB
"I'm glad you've changed762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5uQK9sSXv
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUWyXCZKD3
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPN11tcAKp
would be a problem."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07NiX61OBp
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeJzkF7OHM
"It's none of my 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1azupZey
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zJRRAJuKd
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLzWpbsPi
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VbIX8hsbP
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SdmE1Hogm
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadqWGp7lNr
When Angel left the 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL7qkZKC8A
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKOvWBv0i8
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
