Carly walked in through 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWrQITXYp
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyv9GyIq32
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKSABmZtBg
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6jpDLjq0
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJLhZlm2vV
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8x2980heE
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTyTC1WsHO
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttc4u3iw9R
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAnjmd1IaZ
"Have you already eaten lunch?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vOcve8tHq
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZeiDf3WQv
"Looks like the shopping did you good."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLORtBh7w
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrGYqf9DOM
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsf9lPtDCe
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cUJQX6A0T
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4R8WoYBT3
"In the study?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVdfAftSCU
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOf5CY76hr
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84RfBjzO6U
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZb431vhV5
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejNri25uJt
"I know you're supposed 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRrWhAUATX
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxHLAoEb56
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAnUnCHkm6
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DWwfA2dg
Carly felt herself 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlESLg5OsL
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4TBnxJa3P
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxQkwukFty
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiYmGDLRqy
her that.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYiKXYwNnn
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNqXmpnHs3
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOdQZnpwj
Just before the two 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXuyDAxbCO
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B3qeDN18o
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIWh0J3JLi
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNDaQcbng1
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIikm34geb
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofAzebwZnp
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINJPp7H1qt
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPlCsRhSi6
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowsUkmWXNM
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P7qkCgPIT
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPmZelIbSQ
Carly went on her way 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgMJHznT4c
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OBw2NeLh7
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MShkCYCnu
from Amanda.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xBJLoNZ5q
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie4vHxTlV8
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm6GESrofw
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz5L2Oiuu6
Carly couldn't hear 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGwZPaZPOt
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZprOPFZbk
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vm7ZYAfD3
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxVErcBWBu
Before she could get to 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDztZzpe0D
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZMmLeYOgV
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ril2xX5An
She opened the door to 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg64gnjzSqx
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqpUBW2waZ
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQew8Hy3oYv
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Lg8868H1
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoNKFdL0FD
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYpVkdmsw
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOUpsNt5c
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtKKg0OaRv
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd5gT7iaPK
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CRx4yh0j7
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDWuyBGMo2
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zhrYgwYiW
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFLBU2tA1y
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1nH38Zazg
"How has been your day?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXcap1F8ae
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R0imAwrRG
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0G0A8Qxpd
facing her sister.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg39TumJ9B
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThy2eYtA1H
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bmibjbufH
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfedir1HOW
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SPpwnyPwy
Angel faced the glass 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhuO2xvfbK
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8xNVdTtlK
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRuTxDPnLS
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJp4zEVXn
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1JZ7Nus2
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz5pELHUph
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1sdEcoVwf
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrex0ec3a5X
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3YWaBlbUG
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eteXoeiy9
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsVpAPHHUx
Carly's mouth fell open 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKGqnNthfw
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31hFaSZG8Q
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExhXzYBFj3
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZjaGACeLZ
"Do you think I would 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYKm56PBHd
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERhZoemMek
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiONxjhnIA
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktAxl2B01G
"For you, yes because 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnYHyH1H5
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MOSY8TQ9V
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv7Lsl2y6C
the mall?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFixnCWKjO
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4BALymZtI
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVrjUfCAVb
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJj6ol6Go
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZf3UtjgqS
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYof1PRcXK
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvxxYA4rq
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2K0aUGsKV
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs6DUdc42P
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1t2yE4S66
"I wouldn't worry about 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYCYLLX1UB
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3LS0UZCe
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDUArVvesf
"When a lady's fiancé 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbVXF7DKlW
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBJ790cP9
that there might be another woman."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENYpIuoAcB
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP29XUjda0b
Angel felt like 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtaCrj1NMz
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus2DeRLGJ7
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6apQBB1Q
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCjWnToYFD
"Well, what do you 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKkiYPCJL
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCafViHKBm5
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeW9JE0Zm
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7mYYP3SfL
Kim for good."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanBOC8MiS
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP55Mik5nNn
Angel placed the book 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QQL3zOpFg
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae9XDyd9Ew
started to wheel herself out of the room.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1CB4ejDtz
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZne8UFr4so
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2aTtMSkog
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFIswER9ON
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Ypf74aOa
"You want me to move on 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX22Eh9ndSl
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuT8TkoOaa
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw914mx0TP
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNX5kaVD2r
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipP0Rhuz8
"What?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQnK7a0ca2
Carly felt powerless as 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOQ1LeWxaD
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnBd1Jh7iI
on her chair so as to look at Carly.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3lhP0QQe
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlzUqEO9o
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hYCYYxEsy
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DELLROVmZ
Carly felt her knees 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5q4GMUyYI
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSih7UgebQ
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGaRJ1hWD
lost and confused.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqV4Ccuknw
"At least you now know 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG791sczu8d
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxyCjy1Gxw
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndinyaFPso
to or else that would've killed her instead."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquxo6EdFTG
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJNC2KAfEZ
"But it's the truth." 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x7r3pIAzJ
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgk5yUUFh
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYCS6TPF4W
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlngelKfGs
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLuK0MpZ8H
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRFp9Yczl5
Angel looked on at 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Y4DL2slY
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIANA5codK
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80arUiP23j
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxf1X57yi
sister anymore.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjGU7tY1PU
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNPmn7APH
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx4l3EJJcd
Angel flinched by the 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZNWiL8VP7
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRZCiMGP3E
hadn't heard their whole conversation.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45NaUZcLK4
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2luCWuN4x
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xFNimPrbd
Amanda continued to look761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWA25GojWK
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE1i9AQlrr
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZW7fMoHD
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡven7zw29ZI
"Well, you should have 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPLJyqGynv
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6Vi7S2oB
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO1syIqR3S
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX6yg8o0dM
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIAfrrYX1e
"Of course."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ugOCgQSw
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iRc4xFxFG
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h2El4mNEL
"Well, I better go and 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xNHVH0jK
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp3oY8I2Ys
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw81FSBCSul
my best behaviour."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXBAcI4tWb
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2dvHRDM4
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9D2CjiySE
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wKSvRBT4j
"You're right, dear. I'm not."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxJiPt651T
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOln80y3jCs
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr2RmfvJfS
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO86mIgks6G
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPqa1dmgab
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3FtToR0Am
Carly looked at Angel 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5uXDX8L9r
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQzND67dlg
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizt14zX97g
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sp8MInbqw
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkf6P3yKt
"What should I do?" 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZHD3bUF6P
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDMta7eQK
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJAkpsVQVK
dinner."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWzUKu0ixz
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtijJFcg0KQ
"Are you serious?" Angel761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75pVyO1TJM
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd67tRxEmT
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayRkFwtxuK
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZZbuJvluL
"I wouldn't like to know761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w0B27MM8U
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hJxUZ0BYk
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZyXf3SiXX
future."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgDFGIDKlQ
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkp3NBjMwv
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWg7xA5g0w
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIRl8ndKwd
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FbSEcYpsb
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriBWMKXQ8L
Carly almost gave a 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz0zSLzS4u
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFax1WgXo7
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRPHQVP548
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxMsjzMcMU
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDOWe5k8CZ
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfj2ckkHec
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs2UK3ZxXc
Amanda turned her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPNu7ceWYO
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoKXf08xv2
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBli9tgQ2j8
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZq1l8Gjqc
"With what?" Angel asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZYqHpsUav
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm3vKcoqWd
"Carly, you aren't going761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJok54SPmxS
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIvuXD9Evp
backside. You don't want to make it worse."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18wX3x3isK
"But aren't you scared?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYiMSIk9yz
Angel raised her eyebrow761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sLl1Ccp5H
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhuqXbIxdL
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9Ne55wpo
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkIHtnYRlH
"I'm glad you've changed761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVSxXEUmpo
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZZqHokw0n
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B5TUleYZe
would be a problem."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGzW1xNoaa
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBDLnAuU4x
"It's none of my 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JZqZBEJJy
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHCYxdoAUa
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu8js8MMOw
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxwa6qdMeg
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWX4xQBuqV
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKQtgvwhtu
When Angel left the 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mLW7dlION
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWMOlEig6f
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
