Leo had a smile on his 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemzDpCpZIh
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFi53KGAVR
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd85ZOlSPLc
face right in front of him.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo50crrEll
It was morning and the 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CsBr9ElUd
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5VztKI83W
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfn9BdYPxd
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoxQQ3l8gl
brilliantly in the morning sun.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseOGDtKQhG
Carly had joined him 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTIzVdGSeK
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIyXMvzbBl
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ioH3WrfAz
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOc5mogUg
birds, of course.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOzslIphWx
It was good she came, 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljECj3C8L4
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTNgJXLRTR
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSufuLjiz2
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUqzSUeIpM
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl4J4Kd5Gz
He stretched his hand 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhcZxinQkJ
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dxvbu7OcR
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AJITqeUXz
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXVnfZGxnP
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlg7HSHvc1
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCXoKG8Bee
She didn't respond as 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8xNi8MkNF
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZBfgo8ck
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHOMAD7W0D
himself. Leo chuckled.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLNigmjEI0
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfd3xy2Mo4
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJLeAqPS8S
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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4WVltF9a
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2dTVMbgEm
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf9uuK4KQg
"You're right. But I 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1FM53NNyp
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPHv4PW0K
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNESdzgdLz
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJ5tWm0N3
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwui377rEWo
They both got out of bed896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkon3XGawR
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2bYki5Od
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMnTypHPxL
way to Carly's.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVF5gAbpiU
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72yn0l5j9c
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpo13G7nJV
Carly gave him a simple 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivxS3u6YMr
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLbsL6Wuks
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxT6PcKLC4
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEExeXxhVf
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvWwgA7iho
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIlvJgJOjN
He made his way 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUmCBcIWu
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU2IsoqEJ8
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv5qNHR96b
kitchen.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYolRDrfkz
He wondered who could be896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LZWlerDk
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrljdtFkh4
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDcvI9hJbL
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlnIBydKlb
little.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCja3IAzAxh
Angel was standing by 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmPJ79W5ZG
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qqz7M1Rl
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhe1ohrjeH
thing that shook him the moment he got there.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBG5zb5x5r
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6BHjcHVWs
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshhUAgndS1
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJHcpFQgZw
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL6mfnXqfX
"I just had to."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYopyclFP70
"Ummm," Leo still 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nWDEjbBG
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTMWUWAJNp
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopWnqzH4X
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS6WS8XcuL
The coffee maker soon 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptIvj8XZJD
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z87OiiP8g
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtyriiYcsy
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMnxkKAxEc
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sKQeztAps
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ulxPRuSrz
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2g39ESiwZ
"Why? You wanted me 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fnYkSEQcI
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1veVBbEq
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26KtZ8WaIM
a cup.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2EtJghnxc
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAM4FPGQb1
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAYCPbxB3
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAftiVrlxK
"You still don't seem 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRm4KwB2Is
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlfQfrpXuC
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraMgxkmEgX
things."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtQn9jiKZx
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7y1wWRkSs
Angel took a sip of her 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6uF7pfq6
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFmGiUReUJ
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQzsDWj0Dt
spent her night with you."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mytSkn6f1
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv0UvmxPuq
Angel smirked and Leo 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nceft4aNW
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZycJEKOzC
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWPbM59BCw
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4lvpMiT9Z
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaB2DYknG8
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkSv1vyt2
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c3dlpiU8a
"You're right, Leo. It's896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvLkptOjQR
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLxKhNkhO
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkJsIyaQAP
have any control over."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIbEQGyEfT
Leo was a little shocked896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKif6UTraz
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36eJZ6SPrq
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSKCtlxLoT
game?896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAAsyhCsl8
She slowly made her way 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjFWNJvQl6
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozVHpfdZH
look at her and something came up in his mind.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj4fu3BHNY
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJHbLmZ9W
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAeRczV5Nr
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFEnYFAEoR
"The time you came into 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN33jT7zQu
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVaz5wfEvS
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgSZcAIYE
Angel smiled at Leo. 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL7UXANeqC
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6fe6MbcK
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h30OKQA2o
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopdECJL5jb
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoD0feruTH
"I don't believe you."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06nL27bN4Y
"You don't have to, Mr 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrssEIvIq00
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRhUWyMr0
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJaWKPJjH
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjhhURKmDv
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfaUrZfPP9
"I'll be heading out for896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aweBhZVGM
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zTd1QVoBI
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqYIgPOJiJ
Leo didn't have to 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJUeQP1vy6
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTec88YdSzJ
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y3pTCZRuT
her.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNgijZ6FAa
Leo stared at the closed896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuiQMM0VWL
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Mey9ezoa
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pnHrB7cXz
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSK75QzCYo
utterly disturbed.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPmSWn5iS
***896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02c8SSBS2i
In896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FPPfpf6X7
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXn3Zv4zDm
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxx61AudpA
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKef1v98xuj
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYnTpyX0zj
"Morning," said Amanda.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuL15lnZuy
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK4zxXro0i
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6n7CGq8CZ
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXBvIU29Im
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXmgmt2hxB
"And896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WYhfkmZCW
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuTndm6qfy
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodSdAmBAIs
"Do I?" Leo asked.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGaRdZgm8c
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoBORtV795
Leo896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjms0PVuGol
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc59U4TtSrR
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSKzLosQBj
knew the reason too.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmXjirqKA7
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPRxc8ZZFo
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1EfrDlBca
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Il62uGJL
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWc41ZzHW4
"Lovely."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3hIHYltu
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdkb4vCsg3
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqD4oOL5L
Upon896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YZ1pPynbW
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0DKp84nN
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZK9fEPQjf
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg5bVjlavl
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwkAlPKm35
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipuSKB3TT
Eric896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN7cpQwapA
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt2iK84DGF
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57nVoSLcLc
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUmDfxTcb
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS6GyjlKtT
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmDLJTalop
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhm3poVRDx
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmQdTxIbZM
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Rl2bd2vc
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze1MZJ8nMx
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8VyzDoh9
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8WQ6SKHZO
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zm1umFrD0
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNitJyZbVQk
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOkZDZS6Qv
Leo896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPjox9tXAh
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJF8gr0Xjq
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarbKCi3lMm
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirjdszeRsP
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaWLW0lje
Angel896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2r3TBiBnn
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA8MmEwlcX
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6iSKAnar1
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnMn26UaIN
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48PALbGPKf
"I'll896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZvz2JNlAC
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSsQZj4Ng6
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXHRGFKBxY
"Yes, I would," said Angel.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxqFBnjzrK
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyz0b2UQU8
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHfZUpfW6
"Yes, I'm not."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchp0eiDXdk
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJm6vsfKC
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxP6vA8K94
"Yes, I would."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhojDx4oG1
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmzYbCx9z
"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."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhvR1uSwlw
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg36nC8uh4X
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9XWWeIC4D
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxqjNj0yvS
"Yes."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkQLda5EIG
Leo896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8rG9z8Qe
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8R5iMye6b
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTj5iAXLQd
talking about Angel.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlnyxRLzGO
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.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdrmcK5sTd
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MS5xCYRPr
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhaFKfQy2p
Before Angel could find 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGDrGbhxZh
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVNYXAPvsW
seeing her sister, standing on her own.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLy1RMjENq
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6XvkdzszS
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAswHgMKrj
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLHItzp57b
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."896Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwp1GpuFa
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
