Carly walked in through 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy8I9JpqwD
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKankUn9aW
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CKcnPRFjs
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8PEoZ8qQ6
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE3OPQH1LL
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qrMUF0BvI
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWyla3iOwJ
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG83c42L4Xu
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmBA7AydAJ
"Have you already eaten lunch?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8CJiPAwv
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QbCuKqqxu
"Looks like the shopping did you good."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBqkUw7Oos
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7lLf7DKrl
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8n7k2wFtC
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EY2YzbIqg
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXoyXy2xHu
"In the study?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcJ8rqBCxl
"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."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrwUSGuHNA
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0u5GOgqP5
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWka0AnkqoJ
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkvpUY1kz7
"I know you're supposed 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vMU0779oX
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP80f7bXDt5
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7jJnBan9a
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaV6IW9o58
Carly felt herself 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU1q2zXhs9
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pb3LFjOK3
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZkCOdAVxe
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXn6QZPEEs
her that.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jc3rMwNpl
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZi66gRlx
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvsrRyvAr9
Just before the two 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwEOB1Ny9e
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor5h83SJCx
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaMBca6H7F
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIUBGhJR84
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4j8OtYsQA
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7o2qaL6c9
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof8s6Wl1hQ
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM74aQnqhe
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuwYdbg4Fc
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHKPQA9fCg
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvlSOsCkcV
Carly went on her way 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0MKrdxeg
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkryMP6do
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQV44vJ9uW
from Amanda.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYueMQJEaC
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM07M2yrN8a
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbD96Tg7og
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMnuu4jhg
Carly couldn't hear 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0pOuciayA
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszKE0mJEOy
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dXSoJ0DzY
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBlbL5VUsG
Before she could get to 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa2uzvDgRa
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJfolZMLd2
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6upbI5xwC
She opened the door to 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngdiHz2NNj
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMEzyjqdUm
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMz66rTwpI
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOND5Rvja35
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5wN547Cx
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJplWIgeOR
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tPYHR8UQN
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGaXgTorBu
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxqPHdZSGM
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5906MvmJLm
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xfst0Adx7
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IOA68N3d6
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XlTYj91En
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZO7rNcnZ
"How has been your day?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9SySEbYXE
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0eM1hez6
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYqtPB9BHb
facing her sister.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwp8MQVr5l
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHBqzTVznf
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaANgO4j6TF
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf6YeIQAWP
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlUe9LrM4v
Angel faced the glass 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu8E0V9uNw
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH4lzVPtdI
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WkNTJQHAp
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhWJSbpMg
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ofg9vaFcw
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdpl9OdEu4
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO9eRw48Hc
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylK0AxLC1L
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXb4eXKgM8
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghpQJvM7eH
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWpcxiAyqZ
Carly's mouth fell open 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHzgWApjH
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0qhNZtQbq
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnOFZ9T6S
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfV563Dbwl
"Do you think I would 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3EVlVOC0
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcikHbAw35
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3UB2YHF9W
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8NO5KxkmX
"For you, yes because 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sWWERS9t
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVS3FUZhtX
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKIR3N97OJ
the mall?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOYyYHelRf
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZWFnBozY9
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnimWcBLZl
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNOx8Y1YFJ
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ojmXNoY9
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY9JKGJsgO
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjbLoauibx
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Pr9Zv4V8
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQIlHHqgVK
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi28xgFbCP
"I wouldn't worry about 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIQTHOnJha
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTlyHtUVvP
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2G6dVZT40
"When a lady's fiancé 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiBuBpyLaQ
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBcKNVlRVl
that there might be another woman."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxIUQFYg5
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU31T1AcPeE
Angel felt like 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVdeP5OnQJ
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Z63Cv7Hm
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGSL6R6Ncv
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOs3SzlCZV
"Well, what do you 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbJ2o1HmL
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcmY3H2wL1
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifY6H408ZO
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7KphI1X3O
Kim for good."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6WvCVsTE2
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQF9Oal4q
Angel placed the book 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWWVuR51Qy
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklEoMLize
started to wheel herself out of the room.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R1hZTXkx4
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUml19fu8B
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJ12orU6I
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKdUhhgGHk
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEy4UMe3N
"You want me to move on 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4kYoxUkp
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiDgHAaokN
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAm97ihuSt
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvQ6Wj2N0S
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9sGxwbtAm
"What?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9GWFF0Ym
Carly felt powerless as 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ7dw7X6ks
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGNbggJFFP
on her chair so as to look at Carly.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvwkLI7vvN
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr97StGjMy
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsbbmqzQEt
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZLNX7lyVm
Carly felt her knees 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvE06yJRYl
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC0swhabPo
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9yarVVgj0
lost and confused.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJIsrfcNGP
"At least you now know 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEWUXPDdS7
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr5P1t0cJ5
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeYqYno7Gh
to or else that would've killed her instead."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPiOJKo4O4
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmXMCwno6
"But it's the truth." 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCn9RPnvT0
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4bGWO8N2d
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfhOpOYet
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX3Y5dWrrQ
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2TZy4m1j8
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0AQkRQL8h
Angel looked on at 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNlH5VFt8W
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3u3jE9RgA
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvkvEh1aW7
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNSxos5jDb
sister anymore.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrd5t0PVw
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmM3SGi3aV
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKT88shlT
Angel flinched by the 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0G5NjLt1
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTnJfpqn9a
hadn't heard their whole conversation.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdUOr7S5Xl
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.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1gdaB4NfX
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP2DVbxXS1
Amanda continued to look866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pYAEcHuXs
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyVpjp7TUA
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vir8JMdpP
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPfz9M8IG2
"Well, you should have 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZWj4Kye2
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIhRUFymhe
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxhvZumlsJ
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9m0TNE69Q
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9VXYAxRF8
"Of course."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBupPJe93RR
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX4jeeU2CZ
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6TFBpsGD4
"Well, I better go and 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSrA1qRa22
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCZKEbA6n
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Da5RRbSc
my best behaviour."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fb3ovTX6i
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQFD4KIFmG
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNP3UfpQx6
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID1x8yVgax
"You're right, dear. I'm not."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRMcKnFnsa
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnEvDrj2HR
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ekGlrmHv
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvXJDoEyg
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZ8W6EXiT
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuF3WmMWSx
Carly looked at Angel 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXNOtS9GC
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmUwH71BAh
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoudQNosJs8
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT8f7PHzqn
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx5LGE7EVx
"What should I do?" 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy51yZowL6Y
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Eh9ySXU7b
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUsq6YYi4R
dinner."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXI1wnVLnb
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN2Nmf2ZoN
"Are you serious?" Angel866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOFZNfZaym
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWbgS5NR2C
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FOdz5nHoC
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiucSbBec8t
"I wouldn't like to know866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1agRv1KKCE
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyNv8vV1Zs
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LhpbVgy3g
future."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYslxo28Qh
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbLp4LuP8r
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dNX2yUtOE
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwSmeMRJet
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwosso5DTW
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmChFO8jS5
Carly almost gave a 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMug8KhUmXL
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKN9W9Ei4j
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd566AHk9f
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7xUsStFuK
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8zgKkk42H
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAUUokVRLj
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcGgEJj3QI
Amanda turned her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWcMFH5zYg
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1RliNKdR1
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAZsfLeO0J
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV4r6L94M9
"With what?" Angel asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN01TOM3JJ
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNbbY2Beq
"Carly, you aren't going866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvfvH8FIFW
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzar2E2Wdo
backside. You don't want to make it worse."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41uNwQCcL
"But aren't you scared?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZNqcyzkJ
Angel raised her eyebrow866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUPiKYTMqM
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCcxHuE0eS
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WmkzAQ2aN
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqtoTWa7Ax
"I'm glad you've changed866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGT5JczVD2
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pd4TwclrY
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL4fEuvNpH
would be a problem."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXFZK56DDz
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0wz5cONeO
"It's none of my 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllk85VWdbN
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw32QLY5LkX
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mxxx8FYoH
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXqeEls6zH
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9maYSKh9nc
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDpU9vf98j
When Angel left the 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0ue7Apj8
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 866Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN5r0TrJ6y
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
