Leo had a smile on his 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsrafiZSHr
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvRIXSaG50
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4OYiNYxb2
face right in front of him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE4tV69dSj
It was morning and the 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCUA1tL0Ah
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1tHFA3THJ
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0dw4LmHEv
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajepXfUbMy
brilliantly in the morning sun.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4SY075Js7
Carly had joined him 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLST48QRc
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1IIqKqWd3
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcbBhFrAyn
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAaUFwsqWx
birds, of course.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPQWhehD6
It was good she came, 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kIBWPSKPb
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwNsWkvVZc
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ldB8qVDr
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdVNDiBdL6
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd4u4rTomP
He stretched his hand 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkYcTWcOPH
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFKyvggWAl
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTTTgPl6ZU
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYElN8h9XO9
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mx7VS9IJs
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrL66YPrHn
She didn't respond as 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsox2Tc06av
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu68jA13sZV
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6NHJhvT0j
himself. Leo chuckled.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLfAizSgmC
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMYEQxGpdX
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2q4mvPdVj
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycn4fdO2Dw
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoekzLCkpK
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgD5WkBEp
"You're right. But I 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBBCo1891y
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDGC3OHY5Q
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYARjWXUS
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHHaV5nWSw
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKYy1BNfXI
They both got out of bed738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHF2rejiKI
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoqCH5RC5Y
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQTPxTiUuk
way to Carly's.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEksnVJWIkZ
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTgMMzfEOT
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO68fO3lFMM
Carly gave him a simple 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ9lpYdSiR
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusJ9mhM3SU
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi22fDuvl4
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzta5qMaIb0
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyvYrAnLw
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMEHgKJb5
He made his way 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FShAAIXrj
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39EPNRFbNO
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIfWov9s8d
kitchen.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS0N7pffQy
He wondered who could be738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBhqmfBhF
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5rIiBqPsr
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLwockPq8p
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQR9MgrLTV
little.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyWQIf8ULA
Angel was standing by 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq2u70wvno
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OKZ4XwLtm
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLCqTtbVeY
thing that shook him the moment he got there.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX5JxX2VJ7
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpPM2VHVu
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3JkmhCSzZ
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIykAjwo4n
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiz4hrOfcz
"I just had to."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlxzGWqK55
"Ummm," Leo still 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnGoOE80Sa
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6jWqhyXbc
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP1t1P34Sj
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQ6EaNhpU
The coffee maker soon 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oftcFrMaK
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNoS1YtIqD
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l26IwGV9p
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJnAUaChUT
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87mRD2Uxtp
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pk5SI4qit
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQdrruOyho
"Why? You wanted me 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhzC7Pv1lr
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N9MWKv1sx
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TC6wKRgvm
a cup.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VS0JHX8g3
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqLciBzXwj
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJp0gMUAto
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblFeG2R9Z
"You still don't seem 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjqKoaCtm7
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAEOysvEZc
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBAaqVLrx6
things."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtOw5gpfU
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnYDSSifB
Angel took a sip of her 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSoeHPyW23
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9h1XU0gz
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn3zvR2Wc1
spent her night with you."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyG5a4cRzY
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkDWiXvmcV
Angel smirked and Leo 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRZHZXfnAn
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt31QRtqDrD
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsD2ziJad7
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ptUbrJaK
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKcpEfslOd
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYI33Ji1j
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvQSuVb6D
"You're right, Leo. It's738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4J1Qb8NLt
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOxhGBwhvw
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukwiN1u2J
have any control over."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqunhIgnVy
Leo was a little shocked738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgc04T7wkc
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5FiEAw2Tk
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiW5qIM7kW
game?738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExz7Jg0Fr1
She slowly made her way 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWN3g1rNci
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrEHCfCVhE
look at her and something came up in his mind.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwoQWIidSz
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WO1rlTGUs
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlX1Y6nP3r
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSYewX7Bnu
"The time you came into 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BRZy0YJ4o
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJhhooCWkz
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF6UbuF17E
Angel smiled at Leo. 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1JRPaM7Os
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlydAjEEej8
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwcFLDY0j
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nL6wOTRT
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lAA3DBseP
"I don't believe you."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcC6NQzzy2
"You don't have to, Mr 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HWm8kJVCu
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3h6pEkgUt
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooEsPJH2s0
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHrhpTgBNu
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1NmFdfGE5
"I'll be heading out for738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYxU7On7SB
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBgovSfOg
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNcHpKYybr
Leo didn't have to 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcB6NvPJGP
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE64m82Qrj
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vN2QRBj2u
her.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lcqdaFGG3
Leo stared at the closed738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMKH5FTAmE
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQ6s1zEmk
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTCSlyPKhW
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6jkA1ySRJ
utterly disturbed.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASWS4NLMI
***738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QmkoVtXk
In738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbCOBDx3g4
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7536PHVsqY
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsxVZYGIr2
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nhI4caPru
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLMiD5rGRG
"Morning," said Amanda.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReKSWsUFMV
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eOazmFZ7u
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DSvzBABWD
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxA1OBI2A6
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCskEdMIvW
"And738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tujnLRSOX
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9YByVfXAj
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITzQURuGSz
"Do I?" Leo asked.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4i4d70gm9
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cH3yIXVHF
Leo738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqllzeSuj
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxgoJraHV
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYHxngXLKy
knew the reason too.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fzkK0cKE1
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgm9Dd7bIC
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBWUO6U364
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTukxF8JyNN
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaMp384ZiB
"Lovely."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvvt8C6zOp
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71joUCJdia
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFym3SX0K
Upon738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpejKHUFb4
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo46BIglJC
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvhRZVseA8
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl5xDJUIDq
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybaWh5yV2T
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Z5Mxt74y
Eric738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMB1FNbnZU
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7UYDydQY3
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSznH1uZ1d
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi3w5N4zUN
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn8sbGgRT1
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5Vi09NIT
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtILJcLRz9
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcPiRQ5w1R
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPPMls7zYw
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXFgDUooj6
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0XKYu99f
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMbNpZpKtB
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd8RrK8c7J
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dr4nJGzzx
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Uz0nHq0c
Leo738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82bgIVLr9r
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4kxC7zLAG
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Z8GYeV0d
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mtK57HJG7
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmpp3EqfFU
Angel738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeper7Q7lM
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1hN6kICSs
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XVk1wMpnn
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiv5Ly8kCv
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6i521Edwj
"I'll738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuLI7jSGQl
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkltbSKgnD
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQydwrJ1sQ
"Yes, I would," said Angel.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJwHFIKjDC
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4otyr4HxU
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3G0e6BrGs
"Yes, I'm not."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WQVyFdsQv
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRAFyw4JqJ
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx04ly50J3
"Yes, I would."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI2Vv9OI6R
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0bl9gP46b
"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."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopThqDFukA
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZoSmWUTjm
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJx5pt5MF9
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpgvK1UYlZ
"Yes."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU3lVNxoet
Leo738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ol3x7sZb5
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnUDpTqOSt
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToz5i4p52j
talking about Angel.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnFzAQNOJ
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB19WmDXU5
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLnTx9MOm3
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHbKFmKEAQ
Before Angel could find 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtQ34hVJR
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpksPgmjzi
seeing her sister, standing on her own.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57LfHIghvN
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUp301DxER
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DaqeCmSN
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjuT8KyBv
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDdLkg5cTv
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
