Since that fateful day, a1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao1DBrr0G3
lot had changed the in the McDonell household. When the wedding 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopdljduPWo
got cancelled, things took a turn for the worst and its been that way 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJz5o394FF
ever since. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7jMvP1que
Life was getting a whole1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOKoNS7u6x
lot complicated, especially for Leo. Home didn't feel the same anymore,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1b8KMEuQU
not after what had happened. The place felt like a ghost town and he 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppOHRRhIhj
could tell that it didn't carry that welcoming feeling anymore. To him, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatUsMWAi22
he felt like a stranger in his own home.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6NTwW7z3e
Only his grandmother and1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdZjrSXn8l
Eric, who had been with him in everything, gave Leo the little comfort 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY9SxHz4Dx
he needed in the house. Including his little cousin, Oliver. As for the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDx9iTOqEv
rest of the others...... well, it was another story all together.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJS4dfOlqn
Coming to his father, he1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1YmdJLjNo
wasn't mad at Leo at the reason every one seemed to be mad at him for. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoguZWhf0gT
Mr McDonell was more concerned about Leo not apologising to Angel over 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltdM4XAkhF
the accident and Leo didn't like that at all. He knew he was wrong, but 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn1ehL9Dn1
the fact that his father was more on Angel's side just because his 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrruhQcraBN
father was Angel's late mother's friend, was driving him crazy. It was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nSGev6hUu
already enough that he had met the angry Angel who almost tore him apart1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo80Nxeo3Ew
on the day of the wedding. Now it turns out that his father obliged to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavtlIC7WYU
taking care of Angel and Carly because of the promise he had made to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSfjo0N4Rf
their mother. Not that Carly was the problem, Angel was.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2jeUUEPkZ
As Leo sat in the car 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsmTz8E1j3
packed outside along the driveway of the house under the setting sun, he1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijw1zowxut
thought of what Carly had told him earlier. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh1cAcQP0D
"You and my sister still hate each other."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoFJtz445X
Was that it? Was that 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC08igjdVN2
why he still couldn't stand the fact that his father was helping Angel 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAZPgbfXXq
out? Did he really hate her that much?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxOwPLQSkV
Well, judging by the way1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetjIgDogKg
she almost killed him that day, what wasn't there to hate? No one had 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQUNeiFEI
ever approached him like that, especially a lady. And he hated her for 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE9RQnkBWi
that. Or was there another reason to hate her?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVAB1gpdzB
Carly. It's pretty 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9F97TM7Vn
obvious that Angel wouldn't allow Leo to be with Carly when Leo was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UiQOmTCVb
madly in love with her. And after almost killing Angel with his car, it 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSsRwf3tXF
just seemed to have made things turn from sour to rotten.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZhLnosm08
He had to admit, it was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPrst0VPrw
going to be pretty hard to accept Angel around if she really did decide 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEsTf48T6G
to come and live with his family. He wasn't going to allow that to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICn2EFSU0y
happen, not for now at least. Even his own mother wouldn't accept such a1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Hy4rBtY4
thing to happen.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8YFIKbu3l
Speaking of his mother, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qaapuKRUt
Mrs McDonell had been avoiding Leo these past few days. She always got 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6byw9Qba
like that whenever things never went her way. There were a few times the1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YdYAy0z81
two talked, but it was always about whether Leo had gone to see Kim and1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaSqrV1O8e
tried to set up plans for their next wedding. The fact is, Leo didn't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXQeRYkdo0
want to marry Kim, yet meet her ever again. Ever since the day of the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTLAPbCQc
wedding, Leo had never even bothered to see Kim face to face. Not that 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKMoWGykuq
he was a coward, he just didn't want to. Kim usually called him to try 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrcVzyFBb
and talk things over, but Leo would say he was busy and would call her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EpPnHxQu
later, which he never did.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JHjqsvORk
Leo pulled out his phone1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowKUYQ63gS
out of his pocket and he saw a text message. It was from Kim. Oh great!1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKPBkdHEGt
He wondered what it was all about now.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5rVQEK2ts
"Hi, Leo. Was trying 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCTm8QCs4d
to reach you through your phone, but it seemed to be off. I just wanted 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4W5dbf19f
to inform you that your mother invited me over for dinner at your place 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3cnjO7Dsb
and maybe we could try to talk things over in person. I've been dying to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6IDAT3QhG
talk to you, Leo, and I think this will be a perfect opportunity to do 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmixggMg0O9
so. See you at eight then."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKG65jRNPy
"Damn it, mum!" Leo hit the steering wheel with his fist with so much anger.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckjD5RQLmm
He quickly got out of 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5SIHXXEkr
the car and banged the door shut behind him. He charged towards the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYhDfMSyuK
front door of the house on the stone path like an angry bull. He knew he1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKxR5SwT7H
had let his mother get her way, but this was too much.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ6eGbdpoD
He wasn't a kid anymore and he was tired of being treated like one. It was time he gave his mother a piece of his mind.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SI0q6IxXb
***1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9hxtXGftm
"I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaIkRkW7WV
want dinner to be extra special tonight," ordered Mrs McDonell to the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp6HoCdBq8
chef who worked in the kitchen. "We're receiving a very important guest 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlziJdPeY4u
this evening and I want things the way I like it."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwJHRU0rfe
The1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT5xA14p6U
chef gave her an obedient nod and left for the kitchen. A few minutes 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXbd2LhvBI
later, the sound of the door being opened and banged shut was heard. Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcujkQKg4U
McDonell had a puzzled look on her face as she went to see what was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufi60Li93F
going on. As she was entering the living room, she saw Leo standing 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnY4MYolfj
close to the front door and he looked pretty angry.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBrEbnQh0e
"Leo! What on earth is going on with you busy banging doors like a mad man?" Mrs McDonell asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbZMKeQEGO
Leo1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdtmHXklgc
turned quickly to his mother as he heard her voice. He straightened 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVkt3gD9GK
himself and walked into the living room closing the distance between him1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjYLcEwWqk
and his mother. He stood at a reasonable distance and his mother put 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3OxTj0fXy
her hands on her hips staring at him, as she furrowed her eyebrows. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDiMCgKb6a
"Aren't you going to say anything or are you going to keep on staring at me like you want to kill me?" Mrs McDonell asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96eTb6VDRp
"Maybe1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME2KRVYdfp
I do want to kill you, mum," answered Leo, "but apparently, I wouldn't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjLwwtZQzy
have the pleasure of doing it even if I wanted to."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOjRlUlin3
"What the heck are you talking about? Why are you mad at me?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86IVzvLgP3
"The1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIFblWyfHw
reason why I'm mad is because you always do what you think is good only1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKtEbCocMA
for yourself and not considering anybody else around you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnA86A2xDn
"Be clear, Leo. I don't understand all this," Mrs McDonell now looked concerned.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8yTOYrmz
"What is going on here?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DyQC8y80p
Amanda appeared from the hall with Eric pushing her wheelchair and Oliver following behind them.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3yDuN4f1i
"We heard the banging of the door," said Eric, "is everything all right?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQcX3bVCEk
"It's1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0QKcrwnnB
all under control," replied Mrs McDonell, "Leo and I just need to talk 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbvNuBpin
over a few things. May you leave us alone for a while?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XzirQSuy
"No, I have no problem if they stay here, mum," said Leo, "this matter also concerns them too."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zb6Mo6tGt
"Now1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHZLnr5sVm
this is about to get interesting," said Amanda as she folded her hands 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDKlr8ZVJB
over her lap. Mrs McDonell shot her a look and turned towards Leo again.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9oH7imEFa
"What is it, Leo?" Mrs McDonell asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts1ypMDCOM
"I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrY8M9cmts
want to know why you invited Kim over here to have dinner with us 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD1KETsi3n
tonight," Leo went straight to the point. Now wasn't the time to start 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX9l1cBWif
beating around the bush.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMEnIaosrW
Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7aF59Wzgi
McDonell paused for a while as she stared at Leo who clenched his 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNYwoDOGSb
fists. A smirk appeared across Amanda's face and it was good that Mrs 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCIczvHzIF
McDonell didn't notice. Things weren't going to turn out well at all.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH5138IV0A
"I...1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLEXj0Uo4
well, you see, Kim has been dying to speak to you, Leo," the response 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdMiO7CiSy
came out as a struggle for Mrs McDonell. "I thought you two should try 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnyEdX339D
to see if you could arrange the date for the next wedding."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlRqjUOZjB
"So1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowZMgimKtv
all that's running in your mind is about the wedding then, isn't it?" 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnHBA56u3G
Leo almost laughed, but he shook his head. "Have you ever tried to think1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3cvG9QTm4
about what I want? You think bringing me and Kim would try to make 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm2qmSd88U
things better? You pretty well know that ever since that day, things 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIonvVf1og
aren't the same as they were, mum."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdjoww6bbJ
"I know, Leo, but I'm just trying to make things right for you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlq8WhE4Lg
"No,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4go58s2qPo
mum! You aren't! You're making things worse! All this is what you want,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzGvc3WBXk
but not what I want! I have the right to make my own decisions, don't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF94WsD7YI
I?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEqy8eUuAP
"You've every right to. But you ignoring Kim like this isn't going to help."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLvOmfOYp
"Look,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dQZe1mEmP
mum," Leo pressed his temples with his thumb and index finger, trying 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdloOEtLo9
to keep in the pressure, "I know that ignoring Kim for so long isn't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMJ39BJ6Tx
right, but don't you think I should have known all about this first? As 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGxYyufxTV
far as I know, I'm the one who was supposed to get married to her, not 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOUyccjb5H
you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAtF0RSLYa
There1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaNebe9kqn
was silence in the living room as the air around them turned cold. Mrs 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeLatBysUO
McDonell looked as white as a sheet while Leo kept on giving her the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uXTJbuYk6
angry stare. Eric and his brother, Oliver were stunned and Amanda's 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilVwmjmbRb
smirk soon turned into a wide smile. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8k6eTgzNS
"Leo, how... could you...." Mrs McDonell was lost for words. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX0ehAL76y
"You1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry26BnSRWP
don't like it when someone talks back at you, don't you, mum?" Leo 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1V8rMNhr
asked. "I have told you time and time again that I would talk to Kim 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisPXUJ1wBK
when the right time came, but no. You only want things to be done your 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErlmCUHr4o
way! I've tolerated that these past years, but you have gone too far, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbB7qAQ6v
mum, way too far."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AULz2Ni8V
Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkbkqS9JoV
McDonell stammered, but it was no use anyway. Leo seemed to be done 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEs21ZA1mJ
with what he had to say and he turned for the stairs. Before he began 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaat8XdE5Fy
the ascension, he stood still for a moment. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmptpQcK2m
"And1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCri56XCJN9
do me one favour, mum," said Leo, without looking at his mother, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h36uUlw6D
"cancel the special dinner you had for Kim. And tell her I'm meeting her1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSm5uQdr9N
tomorrow. Maybe then, you would stop bothering me about all this."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXUNelPq1w
Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsTxDr7R3N
McDonell still didn't say anything as she continued to look at her son.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjrvrbfV4J
As Leo climbed up the stairs, Mr McDonell was coming down from his 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWpQVt7tSQ
room. As he passed Leo, he noticed that something was wrong and he 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJVcCZ6Mvm
stared down at the people at the bottom of the stairs.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaXNj7slAf
"May I know what's going on here?" Mr McDonell asked. "And why does Leo look so upset?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pD70FUnK4
"It's... its nothing, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell, "he's just upset. Thats all."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkkpEqm3GG
"Aww, come on now," said Amanda, "you know perfectly well what's going on. You don't have to lie to Frank here."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5en45IL3v
"Could you just shut up for once!" Mrs McDonell looked red on the face as she turned to face Amanda.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPou0FzifS8
"Look1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzrp5hk5b
here, Bertha, Fred is going to find out anyway. Just tell him now so 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6B0jbJCJc
that you won't have the problem of telling him in the future."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGy9utXI5A
Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFlvFQo5X9
McDonell didn't say anything as Mr McDonell slowly reached the bottom 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Guvhn7fi
of the stairs. He looked at his wife and then to Eric, Oliver and his 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLhb9n3Cjm
mother, and they too were quiet.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4j6XVam1
"May someone please tell me what's going on?" Mr McDonell asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpLHsP7CQf
"I told you that nothing is wrong, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell. "Are you going to listen to the lies of your delirious mother?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifZkqKxtjL
"Since when I'm I the delirious one?" Amanda asked shockingly. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIioor8qaeM
"Mind what you say, Bertha. This is my mother you're talking about," Mr McDonell warned.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiuawwll5
"Believe me, honey, nothing is wrong," said Mrs McDonell. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTaINt9NGe
Mr McDonell shook his head and stared at his mother and the others. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpIGR3sgdL
"Mum, please tell me whats wrong, right now," demanded Mr McDonell. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCtZhUnZPB
"Leo is angry at his mother for inviting Kim over for dinner," replied Amanda quickly. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsxFvaVLG
Mr McDonell looked back at his wife who avoided eye contact with him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54il3u7os6
"Of1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4zMsEZMhX
all people you must know better than anyone how Leo is. You know he 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJUgXTuIi
wasn't ready to face Kim even when he knows it's wrong avoiding her for 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIBDKILCu
so long. As a mother you should know that all he needed was time," said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRBO213bFI
Mr McDonell. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IwVQxljqv
"Ya, but for how long was he going to keep this up? All I'm trying to do is help him out," said Mrs McDonell. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYTsvXcJ1V
"Well, he did say he was going to see her tomorrow," interfered Amanda, "just to quit you from nagging him any more."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfw4Mp2h6F
"I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHqTczNfZz
know that you're trying to help Leo, but you should let him make his 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gZ7gcfZ4y
own decisions," said Mr McDonell. "You always think you can take control1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQaRGeStQ3
over people's lives when it isn't your own, Bertha."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMRiWuOblL
"But...." Mrs McDonell was quickly interrupted. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWL6LGYIK6
"Not1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIzxnqoOWP
another word, please." Mr McDonell raised a hand to stop his wife from 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgDSKNuV1b
saying anything else. "Putting that aside, I need to make an 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek2kAhDVp4
announcement."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KvdHcTHpE
"And what is that, son?" Amanda asked looking concerned.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXbibLhUb2
"In1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkUidZbCBl
a few days time, we will be putting Lisa to rest after her daughter, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPGRlJIHDf
Angel is discharged from the hospital," said Mr McDonell, "and the two 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uGF5xO74
sisters might come to leave with us."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RmNwsbiVd
For1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6zXVxNlUY
a moment, the room was quiet, until Amanda laughed with so much glee 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj4ywQBCDI
like a teenager and clapped her hands. Eric had a smile on his face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYUTF5lkWy
"That's1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBwEYTlcb6
good," said Amanda. "I've been dying to meet Lisa's children for a long1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLRSkYudfV
time now. This is good news, Fred. I can't wait to see them."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOSzLoeTyz
Mrs1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFyLh2IfKk
McDonell gave out a loud snort and everyone turned to face her. Her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuimzDoBgjL
arms were folded and her face was one full of fury and disgust.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIm84rUONA
"This1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTzG4rCydg
is just ridiculous," said Mrs McDonell, "you're bringing in those two 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3PUvmjr6S
girls just because of that stupid promise you made to Lisa before she 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2jK6iZvBE
died."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLIsQUzAOM
"What's1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7b6GBmbcM
wrong with you? Is it me or is it that you have always had a problem 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyxwJavyQ
with Lisa even now when she is dead?" asked Mr McDonell. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxnuwXNrNJ
"Ya,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p023FJRHj
you're right. I have had a problem with Lisa for years. And now, it 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dACmhuNDy
seems problems still come about even from the land of the dead."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4iq33Qxni
"You1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1U3k9CnpA
should learn to respect the dead, you know?" said Amanda. "I wonder why1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaoCALeqPt
you have hated her so much all these years, Bertha."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KrS4Xi2Ik
"You'll never know so stop asking," Mrs McDonell snapped. "I just hope those girls never agree to come and stay in this house."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5cWhOmzkw
With1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhiuGZNRdH
that, Mrs McDonell headed for the stairs like an angry devil ready to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRLrz2MoHr
destroy everyone and everything in her way. When she reached her room at1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlpjLAFpmL
the top floor, she banged the door shut behind her.
