The phone alarm woke Leo726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7X85bqHSj
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfta6DoWR3a
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH1uvYKbBv
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkVdvHmPMb
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHtii1ekHS
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yRkD0dbc
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kz0Xvs0wC
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaHWUuz56t
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf05Ykxgjcv
After taking a shower, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v327Yuqae
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfRM4qhuG3
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPCsq606mP
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlZwci8cR0
ever. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZKbzdqW5U
He soon went out of his 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWB3QDiqv2
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfby4z6y9c
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jXu6PFnLo
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG3WsRcWBV
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGcMbKyfFV
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHoCUdhuKD
him.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyF4lXq9y8
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUZ7LhmEHe
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7FldJ1oT4
"Don't ruin the mood by 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsDgnNjFPs
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAdwfQAeoh
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsdjVy3eNK
Leo smiled as he 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDR0ixV2kU
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAVSsfp64y
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FYWhuMSm8
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTPQZWXqyB
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYn0iTNMCl
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFElfxpKDTi
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi2eWuXPnd
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEAhYUUc64
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAC1agQ5OG
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2n5lv9bY5
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImY8XxiO4Y
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKGSxih1p0
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEkHz6pfJM
"She is, actually," said726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuF5iCskyG
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPz6OaXbgz
anything to you. You have me around."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fo0idTs2Z
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC36kG6pmGq
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8uaDy53fC
Before Carly could say 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aiuCcU7kj
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOloJxfk2kQ
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h7Kw7OuCD
"What was that?" Leo asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ffRXeWKb0
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARhv7VKAGB
Carly got to Angel's 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJPBEXLuQv
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiCZ8G9FQv
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jZKv8AQvD
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ER0Cgjrq8
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9qNHX8Z1o
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFppTsdw5
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48XoDfeUuj
"You know you're not 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOQYAp68Ju
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBhoafS80S
for help. You never change, Angel."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkyq92cSyd
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVvwzwRja
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXU7Sy5BU9
"No thanks, I'm fine."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCcx9jy6YT
Angel went on to look at726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQOhqulWCJ
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOqtK6VFkQ
then she went on to stare at Carly.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUCFBbFo6D
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriGbjVGlTc
Carly paused as she 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41BhPesWPm
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavWOzRnmFF
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡustVbBQmEt
Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HU0abESNg
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1qHLlWd7Z
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCJSEkBOt
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfItDsjKKp
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouLS05XZWN
hurt or anything."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuTGxGM1JD
"May you please drag me 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOiMRgYu2V
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIjis5bAw
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt6XGrIQrK
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5acpWLSSLe
"Just like Carly said, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucPTDPX5T
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozhQyYk0jY
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEBnFty47W
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH9QAUfroa
The room soon had an 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47LObC4xND
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNFiOZjIqm
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFRQcG75Lj
awkwardness.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQWThKDz3q
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6viGA0fWD
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN7puyDYv1
"Sure."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkCKQZKfx4
Leo stared at Carly 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMlBRAqTvW
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQRG6PeBS
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqef94SvSg
avoid any more problems.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQUdYujwqI
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiWPp1uD6c
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0tAS5ThWw
"Tea would be lovely, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjwwDkyKPk
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zwU9cGl5C
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM47Z9aNQlJ
could have helped you."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fouMP808W
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vEQL4yHa9
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfguoaGWrOH
Carly gladly smiled at 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQf9fyteaP
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkxvRwh9uA
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUeOrj91Yp
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mkW9Zj8Tn
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPU3MtQCb
And Leo? It was strange 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX0kVnlsLs
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGW14deiZE
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifaItmyEQG
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvDXRyUJGl
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7UjyWjPi
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzjA0oYKMP
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tE9XoMf6v
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa6RpxjlTd
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6SNR3AkHJ
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWiZUeE2ET
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q4l3sPNqD
While Amanda and Angel 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx8iCYw8D3
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe0kEWFA4g
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53YgrWRSFN
at the door.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV7K0NhdWI
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1esQN3IvcP
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AUhWdy0FR
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8BtCuO9IR
"No, she didn't." Carly 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZIHT9Y5Fw
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfVvRuCZUG
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzQu1SKjyV
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs1Yzuof28
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpptL0qkLN
"I don't care about 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZiBIwGfk4
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnwRmhT6U9
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP35A393KE
are real."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb18xMxjgJW
Carly smiled and she 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3T8ECWsFs
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQU5DVDUu
that she didn't want him to let her go.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3uYzap3vd
She quickly turned 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AOBAInV8v
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8QhgVcFpk
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLnCB7Xfdi
They would freak out."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DXyFxq2H8
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHMb479jOJ
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9mtHXsKZl
Leo continued to look 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7gWjfU7SH
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt0L7oFTJg
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aTMSzZAGt
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFiuB4R4ym
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6unC932C9D
"What's going on here?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqDH3ZwkEO
Leo and Carly almost 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fn3SG3rw
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfLVrVQacm
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv9pIrxAC7
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJzy7Bq0w
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9wl7SXi3A
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghM3gcnQy
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4EyFsaNSt
"For Amanda and Angel."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9oASDzJrQ
"They are both awake?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAQhGL110
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYU1LaATK9
Mrs McDonell looked at 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNR568RTlS
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNXkb8A6qu
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuHMQqS9U0
off.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z1cbKWKJF
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64LT7qrbOT
Carly took the tray 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS4DKbn8lj
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGvq9tXVwy
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkr7nTLkG
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8m9eTjx9e
corner.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGf9uiPBLU
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WaHqEPUZS
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05qLtAuOVX
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZNur2IOo7
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSZ1ckDTpR
Leo made his way to the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXNG7kcCwq
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t3xVpLSpo
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbDeuLIV1S
By seven, almost 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfdqfGvD6O
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTrMtwB0cH
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxpwp4wFD8
the lovely smell was intoxicating.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTptQMuzDI
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcPSBuLKCC
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBx9XH7t0
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nXdRCWnPb
time to go to school.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjhnUb3jn
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYi9Kagra2
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWPFmOXGkk
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm2FXcGPNb
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdCyBnojF
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk5oBX0kVg
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L0suLOgfW
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdwKXUVhtW
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUdwo2nKnV
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtKyql8te6
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ40Ud20Rqe
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiuR936jYa
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnD50YJuaA
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqGAksvmp7
them.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUlmQZkvjZ
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u9dawtajj
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzXSFlxHe9
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb6HzhhSY5
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cgQf2jEx
"Right," Leo replied.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORjewWR40p
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yOOct2LBc
Just as they were about 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrkxBCX03
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Je32kK1wW
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WOqHHviyB
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjMiyGSvV3
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvubHLLmkA7
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJb6pITXsR
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTzVoCNrsf
Before Leo could reply 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RewwzA3EZ
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7pU2LgSTH
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhvTQRnTt
looked away feeling irritated.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWCJTh0QQT
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q56olQLUY
Everyone else on the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDL94CeSoQ
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9MQNRCqp5
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWBFpBjPGA
except Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoaUAR1VKE
"This is just lovely," 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmUCj2OpEu
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGjNOfsXHn
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2lIn9oQ9
really early."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCvMVnhzRQ
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdlVxvnFuY
"Your wife isn't here, 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMOLGfjRiT
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXgkpI2OvR
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUNgvARRTu
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1InnCG9X
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UGtwdhBN4
Angel almost spelt the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyglMY6vnDD
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Iv5aRO58v
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqa9eywzne
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfwmwyqgs9
just ran a hand through his hair.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGamExA8xC
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdhfOwMqYu
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaHQFfGoPJ
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NB8epAhVg
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZoLpXD6X
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUuLATtAEU
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiUAkSYLXG
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5eLACFmJN
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkhQAHD1gP
"Have to go to school," he said.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBKQ0pRcAB
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELuLXPAfdx
Oliver came round the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q40roWfnT
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSWgVAsNV
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TexFhuYaA
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVYoa3UuTz
ears.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjD01Io1G8
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn3dYciO62
"So adorable," said Carly.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQtiCenFjm
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VOC00Zott
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70kfOsvF3g
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPthYcSNBM
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Br8zKNpc
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBQDqYC7UP
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcE1aGthgp
"Well, I do."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5PqwROt3b
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XHI5CxdUP
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmjU60LYT
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYcwQzFjQn
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BpBd5yHoS
"I'll find you in the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOwlFkIlc
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aqqjHppdq
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVXgjMVRD
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M1ZbchfmC
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8k3lZdlJz
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDD49OEU37
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5q2i9CvY5
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Le47irKz1
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE2Arv5OzX
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6rwLA80Wo
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjgEvUujsE
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNTOn6sshE
Before Carly could 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqe1PLZRRr
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf6A5sHYhv
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcxFYaVSEX
interested about what her sister was up to.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTF8Dq4eFp
"I'll join you," said 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMZx59BgL
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgGc0EkB1G
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12jXWIpycW
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkpqaYs7g
"I'll go get ready," 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxxCfjm0Dc
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAIvcNJtps
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxj3MkYLbs
times.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8flF5nOWIl
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7jbweDCSa
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjzb7yGbqV
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHckDFplWu
The last thing Leo 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyEi47v3MG
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ES3OKzNj2
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDfyoqDbUc
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2deU0P43fD
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcsfoJLxs9
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wK1k6Qqg
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5pgBOXDO
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy2NqTlVZK
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMKinPw4k4
"Yes. It's really 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW66tUrFv6B
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ShudgP9Q
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAeDPxbS7C
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4pWrAP8V7
since I'm so old."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz4694alzz
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr0mF3xUa6
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3gMpiWLQG
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmIHkHDN02
Leo sighed. He looked 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaxRdBmd0M
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9kf2ESLd6
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat5WY1XYqr
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcBcaO7qf0
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."726Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Rm6eWq0q
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
