The phone alarm woke Leo825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsexffAbaY
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ywo9v99C
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnrXkvdK1u
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkRfFGraHN
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWVRkLqKB0
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu1yZX5nca
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNKXZ6i5lI
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aqBMtlM2
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX4vl2gd18
After taking a shower, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi1TsSaxlb
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhZ4PfYlUR
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHatHjMC8mM
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZqnj9DMRX
ever. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrSFrfSEDg
He soon went out of his 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtO8hbIb4
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoH5pux4VK
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZI2TJroRx
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d46yeGf33
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4VC9RnYBV
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGmyNp20p
him.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQrPp538fG
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UzNW8TGw7
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WvNJbebw
"Don't ruin the mood by 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDPP3Fe6Cd
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDFmZYMmxJ
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxHVNrmDs
Leo smiled as he 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2hVnt3reA
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAprpxbeim
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5hUKUF4ir
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNe5W1vdM
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMBEs3dLS
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQsCzaYNk
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaE9wdndr
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWHZVm6huD
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RAONmU7h
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLhCIgl8Gp
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSdO70hqoe
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtLBVvUQcC
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAUsRkqqDK
"She is, actually," said825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gsmi4YDdz
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fgCRB0zP5
anything to you. You have me around."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz341w8JQW
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mtlWgT0dG
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ny3yOPR7
Before Carly could say 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt2hkAUO8w
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgsScPoIVI
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs0PWla6Gj
"What was that?" Leo asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4lovDWNbm
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdQfwsCI5
Carly got to Angel's 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiC2vEO4ue
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTAYG3Qjzc
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQhfbIJla
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPbNqdAMM
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccVmuCeNc4
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC264GiNZtf
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELCZpehhTp
"You know you're not 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9s7frFbRf
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFugTdywMAO
for help. You never change, Angel."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYvW1cL1ij
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHHyFsp2bo
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvDzrdEKEx
"No thanks, I'm fine."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUDPTHoOX4
Angel went on to look at825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCM9wKc4aC
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0t3pKIXbC
then she went on to stare at Carly.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4zOyBHzJc
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Ng0nkPcE
Carly paused as she 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkgNzfwbRp
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GmRvhkpCn
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPef8zvND8
Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MGkAhyMfx
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25mJKuAyg
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dZE7xhpZK
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz5RvrsnUv
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7foVfsYL7B
hurt or anything."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdCMrWfzH5
"May you please drag me 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtLiknK4F
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtlHsbhj0T
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7MAewQU1I
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTASGR8IwF
"Just like Carly said, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH603YwSVgu
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfrsIgEkv
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PE372ck9z
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3CINwgCGg
The room soon had an 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCx9g1dzN
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5mwwHRd2k
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINQA6KL8f8
awkwardness.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eLJUIr0cI
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUr1hpo5z3
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovSGC6d7pS
"Sure."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzH5MsvXA
Leo stared at Carly 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTxXwIEDh
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKlbT3glNp
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5IJ3auMdW
avoid any more problems.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTepwRHRrw
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIRjcdaYn
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEP19Zwird
"Tea would be lovely, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Fzv8AC3O
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWnKa3DN6J
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN02YvgEIJw
could have helped you."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ISGG8h9C
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mKnoiAifh
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfEQyYDpw9
Carly gladly smiled at 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDUagiRYl
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDqVjRTgYs
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wglqAq8pv
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHWNkYWVce
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9xB0ijtor
And Leo? It was strange 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwT6QVus49
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUcjLVJb2f
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD4sGXmsj3
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfjRJfUYWf
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvZlUQSNe0
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV3xsOyXQK
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaRMGL1HEu
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo1MFrx9GZ
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVoZTZSq50
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gCJ2FNasB
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHILgjGfYna
While Amanda and Angel 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26I1YnD09c
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEnDVeERGg
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFdrC6rGQU
at the door.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvT1gZbLhp
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wlyplDuv6
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUvLcTYJCd
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonj8V0ngq3
"No, she didn't." Carly 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvMnn1bBFi
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgvlnzd4f0
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMksdulm7ok
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIOlzd1MhI
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8XNzJWbi
"I don't care about 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBM8AiLstO
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAFYNQG4qz
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkxaPk1XAM
are real."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJS5Ovy1aS
Carly smiled and she 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PwM0lCqNi
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M6voky5fu
that she didn't want him to let her go.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnF8eas8uB
She quickly turned 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGAoHDvhlD
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0H6PXj5Oh
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYvkImRCj
They would freak out."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR527kP3CF
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9q7QComdt
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xWCcJVD8C
Leo continued to look 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcERJyxEdJ
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KGEN06YX
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6pmFvocI
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYS6skTm9a
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wVWXpCFY2
"What's going on here?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftxCw502KM
Leo and Carly almost 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvGvhcSXzZ
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHolTLjO9S
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESGcDcNSTC
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTblFStilkt
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41SZEK7nvm
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gqSUF1Sma
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d01JAl3H8
"For Amanda and Angel."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbjEC8BqRG
"They are both awake?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWSDN0QOQV
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn6gYvOl0Q
Mrs McDonell looked at 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xcgpSCaUe
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Uz8A70Iw
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdpvJlUey0
off.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxrMzubAyD
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B60tFC96B
Carly took the tray 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV47j4L6068
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXGDRf1hXz
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex0NuMmaDE
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLllVTOr4ap
corner.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwUeS2BbCj
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXi6AhAAtd
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8QhuG9F3x
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzsHeueyYa
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA2yVRF22u
Leo made his way to the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2vvi1kJLk
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCudyegHxsr
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBo9QOgGpZ
By seven, almost 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcmkXzJKRB
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibztiItTFG
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayu9xXJAl
the lovely smell was intoxicating.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOTHI3ndn9
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOekmB872aI
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM4JhFQP05
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCmGUXpf6T
time to go to school.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcswbQ1GKe
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4km8Vt1Jj
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZapcie3LfR
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3GehlFhL
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd6mosiqEE
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvltrBVMY0
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtTpHr2Qhl
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmsRUwwHAX
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC78w65mUN
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwMIAnEQ25
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lyZ4oPonj
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiT7A0LqcG
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsVENe1gZy
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQIhI4DWEj
them.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZVTv8WyP
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZNJPNhRtF
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioJZ061DzD
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHueG9xpf4
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T7vXEZBIN
"Right," Leo replied.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmNw40sUqV
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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVrvOLY1Gy
Just as they were about 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcqvuQS7L
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofTjGPAAwu
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoldNz9CNh
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjuiD5A3lE
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YBqUfXRB
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1fKlJfsFz
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJ6zDTAux
Before Leo could reply 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvfK9M2TqO
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnM1zBZ1QY
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfdtY2qCsi
looked away feeling irritated.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsS3Y6sWv
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCPJTD0mvS
Everyone else on the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVxVabxte
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTk0aVHOs
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX1eJpVNZU
except Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjy9oc7DBX
"This is just lovely," 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQRsvfS9bt
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeiST3o7O1
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XQadV1u4w
really early."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxRGBs4tIv
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAh4bT4x8Y
"Your wife isn't here, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d8PsvkY4z
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2OVNcMgt
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY57BQVKON
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUkCZffPvb
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95ajWeypN
Angel almost spelt the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRcFN1hqls
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwHmNrOIlM
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTcq9o7dAt
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4MngztJVF
just ran a hand through his hair.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFxPy0Xcw
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJavuF0FP7i
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxM9joFDln
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmphH6tf8dl
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnCoa5YuW
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP1hiWhXLH
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Spgbzn2t
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCziYqad9mG
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp1FIPWVpd
"Have to go to school," he said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW6S5QpuvD
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncwPrMllc9
Oliver came round the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw8QfKFgT5
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUujCSXCZp
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BVyYa66oa
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgNr1DP2zs
ears.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxPoem65oi
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTeRVrfc7Z
"So adorable," said Carly.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T3CVhtRVR
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsS7GZFciU
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK60usz2gQt
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMutxbuXjBq
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK8sZInnPz
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO5B8zWwrj
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitNdmQN8v3
"Well, I do."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnugwzBXg9
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67R1bK98b1
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdYbR3yNyN
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjvU8TC57M
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vZl0stuhV
"I'll find you in the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOk8RobtJO
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD6JNpROTr
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoijNuHVnH
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9AfKSrM7N
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWk1J8JT81
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyiX7QbGip
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa3zUM5Jva
"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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGUUFk4mq1
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagRVq5DkQs
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCk6En0ERy
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj2K9pq00j
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBokShlX1Y
Before Carly could 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCToclac5No
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdRhJ5sGqO
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781gviIZQv
interested about what her sister was up to.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOygEyqEPLu
"I'll join you," said 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCXbdtl8vx
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYsz2om36
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YnvAIBqEL
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FJnvQxl0H
"I'll go get ready," 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoXcZX07B4
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8g5nvxwZI
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DL4l0oUxC
times.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mOcNYisQ
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf27gpJkmb
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtJczphxO
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfXZUTQHuR
The last thing Leo 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sjD3eAhV3
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa5laSEUUR
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmEgXwSwmj
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbebFEKkqzM
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwzYDe3Dj
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LpagLm9Qc
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYB5KdPeqd
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJEhxqVXJl
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIHtOMx52T
"Yes. It's really 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSI5BMH4w6
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscVTRoDmSw
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTwgD6agLR
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKXk7bvWwI
since I'm so old."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sXurhaGaN
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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaSCS8f8Hh
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG8aes4cQv
"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?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SXCPaQxz
Leo sighed. He looked 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY5lA3JpKI
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLi20rPf5V
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx0jcYyn1k
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAhqqmqzS1
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp88jYt28t
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
