Leo had a smile on his 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTo3zeqggR
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyF9gHlQ5d
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBKo7EzjhE
face right in front of him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vqzTkJF29
It was morning and the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJH2Xlj8Ya
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u2y8GTzkK
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXtjnR9STG
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUq8p2Y9L
brilliantly in the morning sun.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88fBbxRZN
Carly had joined him 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrunHVgA7En
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2irGADy7U
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lk0iNDMYX
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ419RE0jh
birds, of course.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6OfSkTlHJ
It was good she came, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMxdVrHtQM
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yOQRgAviv
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3m0PTGX3R
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZgEOlxHrK
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuuTFg0c9O
He stretched his hand 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nyaIPwu5g
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBZxyksunV
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJShZtRNtX
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgMSOQSAR4
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEsESXcWM1
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dTwGaD9mG
She didn't respond as 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZCTyOJ9rc
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWoZiDeoKm
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ4HqXQK3h
himself. Leo chuckled.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lwYXp20B0
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDAdYmgn9J
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmae5H7pCdw
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT26yGFHRf
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Knud7IIZ8
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobU7tKTgvG
"You're right. But I 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQEKjWvBOX
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy39bbwHSDy
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTokilmA9M6
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7iWLjP0M2
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrvPuZc3bi
They both got out of bed826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9dBLpDbb7
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcJl7r1oFx
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0FnfdX2vY
way to Carly's.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdfUy0dW4n
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeglfijJa9X
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Pxo2SPS8
Carly gave him a simple 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDviFvD6Tmb
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡias1aDL73x
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NOpYQXUHc
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXhVs7dxb7
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0huhug4AVP
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfqsSfbNrJ
He made his way 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU6nfAGWD0
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9APzays854
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwrqTxHj65
kitchen.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS5qeN5OD8
He wondered who could be826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunCxMMUuY2
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8MqMgDA6
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREPmeeExK1
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKlL09UkVV
little.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXf3jqh7T1
Angel was standing by 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZzt4uIzUR
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr9itr3IOW
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLyHLazZNO
thing that shook him the moment he got there.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPuCmy36DT
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysPOgFxH9f
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FzViB4tJ
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgzjG42yEe
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BLcgm5UP
"I just had to."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaT6xBFvMv
"Ummm," Leo still 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgPN3X2UtM
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLjTUZDkI
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWyW2gVgO8
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ApmTuQaRE
The coffee maker soon 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjnkX1xhsC
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY39e45GCES
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSxMU2OHqo
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gzD0fVkop
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveNZYdSLxt
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ62y5VTrf
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevTGq6JASp
"Why? You wanted me 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDT3avC3eW
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhhL7fP4ND
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CGIl8IFP
a cup.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM37BWwCwH
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOml4Xcu12
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwXvGtUF9n
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRCSRryfcn
"You still don't seem 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb2HKAuzqd
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDku3AOdaY
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJevpQ5Mo3
things."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q2hISDjbG
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOZBVsoW2b
Angel took a sip of her 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH3OQtnqQn
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3XuJQJqQT
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIYH4VRFHa
spent her night with you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2BP4cqziJ
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ICgtm3Cb
Angel smirked and Leo 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pDjIvpd2
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVUSsxhHBo
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlxWhVFUU
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzCUX4CLHo
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK2CDeaLrv
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrel08adXs
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfm1ec3x09
"You're right, Leo. It's826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjJDqjI3tf
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4FTWUpQti
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWQT3oTDJF
have any control over."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BeAbIscym
Leo was a little shocked826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGrsKqPR5
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ugmztrbM9
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXBAjnukU
game?826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t0CHPkgGe
She slowly made her way 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wIKpcWa6g
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDvmCm4lMS
look at her and something came up in his mind.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHeI4eeyTt
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDdDziwey9
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjx8FCJzA3
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xNw2chiP9
"The time you came into 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tVKPvo8PF
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPi8UwRAg
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO0XzrJR87
Angel smiled at Leo. 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6k3IZPh5D
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrU90JdY3
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDMKQ9Jx5r
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkwgs4f8a7
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWrSAWUUcN
"I don't believe you."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pbzKToEXS
"You don't have to, Mr 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNEs66BS1f
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLedBt7BRqt
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3km16sPLF6
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKLx05F1a
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDPbUXeTSl
"I'll be heading out for826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuwtzWpp6
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18REaMM4xk
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4AoOR7Ynk
Leo didn't have to 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WZHoOwqHa
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3859UFF29r
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEtJ3Da5wK
her.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jCUg968F7
Leo stared at the closed826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztVmUjuMiL
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAxfT2cIJk
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOltkrpU4N1
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfZNWfxsH6
utterly disturbed.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWb9178BT8
***826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WjySeDPE
In826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJsyaXDaVy
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu9bJBABg0
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWKCp9l97U
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc1qSkVUgc
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNDVWuzZ6A
"Morning," said Amanda.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRELb1r7qGI
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QmktaoLo0
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgiLsNBLRq
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoBH3jlq4z
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmDVBFhPbI
"And826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sgdycngzs
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38DEs661hJ
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwNSGQzPP7
"Do I?" Leo asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONIkGmV7u
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXsS3uCD2Q
Leo826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUzhySVtbS
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ORSpn9UKz
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22DYYjyUfc
knew the reason too.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5icD6zrwg
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIYRKgcOST
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jOcIRLor0
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg4D3THr9Q
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy3RBBGGb3
"Lovely."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46tYqXLe1E
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWsJlTyaf6
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk4bTtWrC5
Upon826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3op4hk10
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhz4bY4sLD
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHWEeRs3bu
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7fBPI41Bw
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mdvQHKiba
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCkzboCgat
Eric826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WxgyeSuw4
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGq5d7qipt
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV147eduSs
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJYYq9NuO
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4J73CsXG5
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0I3QAZSXT
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cLcgrONjj
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PkU5irdhU
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGsImgb4M
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQylQ0DnCqs
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK0Qh2o1WH
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgNOwoEnQx
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLlRxIDhr
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQcfPvsbF9
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOiMS9bRMx
Leo826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMPZNx26vu
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1KswzywJl
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97hANr9YG
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwLMu7EL8I
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZERliRJmFa
Angel826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXAJv1ynui
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRHTOQ9lYK
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHp0gTNXzm
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPghTIIN4p
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNeZdwG1pF
"I'll826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf9w5c3zmy
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1xw9a7m0j
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7resY4SIw
"Yes, I would," said Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEgOBk28Lg
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdQPXrT7rV
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtWo2nFCUO
"Yes, I'm not."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzWajWl4HU
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlN8k6uy4m
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wrNphjXjk
"Yes, I would."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XHZq4Iqw
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsGEHWJvQp
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUd1wcmWJJ
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qERYtWovx
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bor552yq6
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoQjcXWDo
"Yes."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyFBXaJWlZ
Leo826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJ96lpEYX
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJsvKKZ3MO
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uRaieFaGY
talking about Angel.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8UHnjFry
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JX5WuSi7N
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCa1osTour
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CO5auPRZ1
Before Angel could find 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZwwBdTSbv
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4ap5geJ2X
seeing her sister, standing on her own.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PREVkXb3N
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZnhRNfDA3
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqzimPduQ4
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4zp2ZiPkq
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."826Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdR1geWpCW
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
