Since that fateful day, a1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoIRjfz61L
lot had changed the in the McDonell household. When the wedding 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkFHk6tgJA
got cancelled, things took a turn for the worst and its been that way 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7dL8rWRE
ever since. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFcpMC2tTf
Life was getting a whole1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUnM8TppSN
lot complicated, especially for Leo. Home didn't feel the same anymore,1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3DI6Xb4KN
not after what had happened. The place felt like a ghost town and he 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ2otJw2bR
could tell that it didn't carry that welcoming feeling anymore. To him, 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2BjIS3CSa
he felt like a stranger in his own home.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO2VyDcAbt
Only his grandmother and1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgXlPD5uea
Eric, who had been with him in everything, gave Leo the little comfort 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquGgarsFoF
he needed in the house. Including his little cousin, Oliver. As for the 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO61JgpLej
rest of the others...... well, it was another story all together.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5fqlg0Z1
Coming to his father, he1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkP5OfQc0g
wasn't mad at Leo at the reason every one seemed to be mad at him for. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEhCLcyZbZ
Mr McDonell was more concerned about Leo not apologising to Angel over 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI2KPhyzuh
the accident and Leo didn't like that at all. He knew he was wrong, but 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCIMN3mm90
the fact that his father was more on Angel's side just because his 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdAYGjEnTe
father was Angel's late mother's friend, was driving him crazy. It was 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwkk0EDlfT
already enough that he had met the angry Angel who almost tore him apart1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpMTdzLaOg
on the day of the wedding. Now it turns out that his father obliged to 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHZayue3y
taking care of Angel and Carly because of the promise he had made to 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZbksrFaId
their mother. Not that Carly was the problem, Angel was.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXYfk4NAz5
As Leo sat in the car 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hmgFIQF1e
packed outside along the driveway of the house under the setting sun, he1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWaPr69V16
thought of what Carly had told him earlier. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ955owy0aaG
"You and my sister still hate each other."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBK0BtD7Ry
Was that it? Was that 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA3dnHlgo4
why he still couldn't stand the fact that his father was helping Angel 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhge1glsNgW
out? Did he really hate her that much?1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEsNasjYt4
Well, judging by the way1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeKgUXpPZt
she almost killed him that day, what wasn't there to hate? No one had 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BJ48Pd3I9
ever approached him like that, especially a lady. And he hated her for 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynH7laCxOK
that. Or was there another reason to hate her?1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBprMuFM69
Carly. It's pretty 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8utqfZ1yL
obvious that Angel wouldn't allow Leo to be with Carly when Leo was 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2csMoqLuYr
madly in love with her. And after almost killing Angel with his car, it 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsr4CP1OC0
just seemed to have made things turn from sour to rotten.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5gUkj8SxM
He had to admit, it was 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOExrzg1dto
going to be pretty hard to accept Angel around if she really did decide 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ850y79PB4i
to come and live with his family. He wasn't going to allow that to 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72d9CMemvM
happen, not for now at least. Even his own mother wouldn't accept such a1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRfrbwndan
thing to happen.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9SNZ8uX1S
Speaking of his mother, 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LBCocgDTf
Mrs McDonell had been avoiding Leo these past few days. She always got 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8z2zCZ4Bi
like that whenever things never went her way. There were a few times the1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡconBqxfQa7
two talked, but it was always about whether Leo had gone to see Kim and1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7MxlnTTQk
tried to set up plans for their next wedding. The fact is, Leo didn't 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JOxiUXfNa
want to marry Kim, yet meet her ever again. Ever since the day of the 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9loWTjrqf6
wedding, Leo had never even bothered to see Kim face to face. Not that 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEibT3NgYt
he was a coward, he just didn't want to. Kim usually called him to try 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWGjn2grz7
and talk things over, but Leo would say he was busy and would call her 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl5YwyEYJJ
later, which he never did.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcw5BybdLE
Leo pulled out his phone1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUP5GP5JAm
out of his pocket and he saw a text message. It was from Kim. Oh great!1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9FFPfdUYQ
He wondered what it was all about now.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ979NzcXINM
"Hi, Leo. Was trying 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfR57KUB31
to reach you through your phone, but it seemed to be off. I just wanted 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJuFL9spRq
to inform you that your mother invited me over for dinner at your place 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxJaiG90dW
and maybe we could try to talk things over in person. I've been dying to1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6SMiSRoRK
talk to you, Leo, and I think this will be a perfect opportunity to do 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lHa5QX9hL
so. See you at eight then."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRRRWNtIDg
"Damn it, mum!" Leo hit the steering wheel with his fist with so much anger.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkXhTnYhVn
He quickly got out of 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM1hsSwKMJ
the car and banged the door shut behind him. He charged towards the 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YEN8ACNGJ
front door of the house on the stone path like an angry bull. He knew he1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTBPaoxpq2
had let his mother get her way, but this was too much.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRF8WiJeDh
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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuf73pdfvX
***1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL7cgIcoP9
"I1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfNwVGRByz
want dinner to be extra special tonight," ordered Mrs McDonell to the 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YO72hFOLs
chef who worked in the kitchen. "We're receiving a very important guest 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvXXrF1LAz
this evening and I want things the way I like it."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75yVAqsCOs
The1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XhpaGMyzd
chef gave her an obedient nod and left for the kitchen. A few minutes 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxiRBDHJ9t
later, the sound of the door being opened and banged shut was heard. Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Mc6tBWJP
McDonell had a puzzled look on her face as she went to see what was 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2OXF0RkS8
going on. As she was entering the living room, she saw Leo standing 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaX2vBkA1K
close to the front door and he looked pretty angry.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAnpuMk35
"Leo! What on earth is going on with you busy banging doors like a mad man?" Mrs McDonell asked.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzKXSrzN9c
Leo1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F6zr1he4z
turned quickly to his mother as he heard her voice. He straightened 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy9CxDX7iH
himself and walked into the living room closing the distance between him1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlZKlyECg
and his mother. He stood at a reasonable distance and his mother put 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAgfw5iHQ9
her hands on her hips staring at him, as she furrowed her eyebrows. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dg88sygdS
"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.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr0fnDig0Y
"Maybe1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn8Of4jEfT
I do want to kill you, mum," answered Leo, "but apparently, I wouldn't 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBMDGnUfB0
have the pleasure of doing it even if I wanted to."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkTk1n9LrA
"What the heck are you talking about? Why are you mad at me?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmXHNbsOFQ
"The1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7SRlu8Wn6
reason why I'm mad is because you always do what you think is good only1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEcaX5ksTy
for yourself and not considering anybody else around you."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEJeGIPDI9
"Be clear, Leo. I don't understand all this," Mrs McDonell now looked concerned.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fde9EUDXR
"What is going on here?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23NrQQqgqy
Amanda appeared from the hall with Eric pushing her wheelchair and Oliver following behind them.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebl9P5B9o
"We heard the banging of the door," said Eric, "is everything all right?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXNLjfnd6Z
"It's1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERvUSx4kvb
all under control," replied Mrs McDonell, "Leo and I just need to talk 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueg3S7b0gV
over a few things. May you leave us alone for a while?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzcWDCmvwz
"No, I have no problem if they stay here, mum," said Leo, "this matter also concerns them too."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzMD6W2CT
"Now1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1TqvdCeiG
this is about to get interesting," said Amanda as she folded her hands 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSuw6y0YYc
over her lap. Mrs McDonell shot her a look and turned towards Leo again.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGee4kF54NA
"What is it, Leo?" Mrs McDonell asked.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6DGtPaLr7
"I1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPVRmANiLu
want to know why you invited Kim over here to have dinner with us 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sbKFowJ2F
tonight," Leo went straight to the point. Now wasn't the time to start 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbE1dlwBF
beating around the bush.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5piyRjZN3s
Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhuQvvLNNl
McDonell paused for a while as she stared at Leo who clenched his 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhxpKMs88Y
fists. A smirk appeared across Amanda's face and it was good that Mrs 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRApIeXskZr
McDonell didn't notice. Things weren't going to turn out well at all.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSFwDP77EG
"I...1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCGLg03si9
well, you see, Kim has been dying to speak to you, Leo," the response 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2n55Zh4OC
came out as a struggle for Mrs McDonell. "I thought you two should try 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y8AbFz0ju
to see if you could arrange the date for the next wedding."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcdbBiaIXS
"So1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8UTvdFyeD
all that's running in your mind is about the wedding then, isn't it?" 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8mF00hQNs
Leo almost laughed, but he shook his head. "Have you ever tried to think1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8jmZVX6r
about what I want? You think bringing me and Kim would try to make 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKH4QsN8R
things better? You pretty well know that ever since that day, things 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnlNP4stIo
aren't the same as they were, mum."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyxUDlepl
"I know, Leo, but I'm just trying to make things right for you."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxXttK4Wk2
"No,1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aqx9TUySz
mum! You aren't! You're making things worse! All this is what you want,1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lT4v0QC5A
but not what I want! I have the right to make my own decisions, don't 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYI73vaElY
I?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJrdQFEXn
"You've every right to. But you ignoring Kim like this isn't going to help."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzr6iEfm3w
"Look,1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywZ9ieAgWz
mum," Leo pressed his temples with his thumb and index finger, trying 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgVQ7n1Pu1
to keep in the pressure, "I know that ignoring Kim for so long isn't 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrwb2E8BBt
right, but don't you think I should have known all about this first? As 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSozhTODCa
far as I know, I'm the one who was supposed to get married to her, not 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk5vpWGOGV
you."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjObT4QNlh
There1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv8HfI9mCo
was silence in the living room as the air around them turned cold. Mrs 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1zYpGczBW
McDonell looked as white as a sheet while Leo kept on giving her the 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAPtpanQ3Q
angry stare. Eric and his brother, Oliver were stunned and Amanda's 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaepwfdwxg
smirk soon turned into a wide smile. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckLGxApYQH
"Leo, how... could you...." Mrs McDonell was lost for words. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya9nXfOyoc
"You1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWM7Iw9t2C
don't like it when someone talks back at you, don't you, mum?" Leo 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz967aQh2pM
asked. "I have told you time and time again that I would talk to Kim 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMhEEj41g
when the right time came, but no. You only want things to be done your 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtPTur0BmT
way! I've tolerated that these past years, but you have gone too far, 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU87MZF7QH
mum, way too far."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPHSRuNB6
Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LBT9oTZOS
McDonell stammered, but it was no use anyway. Leo seemed to be done 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuldsuznaqs
with what he had to say and he turned for the stairs. Before he began 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZpWSuYkZ
the ascension, he stood still for a moment. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMikpnNEj3T
"And1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinqOQAjsmR
do me one favour, mum," said Leo, without looking at his mother, 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF32J0VRg1
"cancel the special dinner you had for Kim. And tell her I'm meeting her1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBrpBeMjlX
tomorrow. Maybe then, you would stop bothering me about all this."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFxRixyR7n
Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxUfvxEei
McDonell still didn't say anything as she continued to look at her son.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKpTEFBTPd
As Leo climbed up the stairs, Mr McDonell was coming down from his 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAYn9ABRy9
room. As he passed Leo, he noticed that something was wrong and he 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0WwpyhBRR
stared down at the people at the bottom of the stairs.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsqa47hrYC
"May I know what's going on here?" Mr McDonell asked. "And why does Leo look so upset?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfwG6lqTxY
"It's... its nothing, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell, "he's just upset. Thats all."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlXhu9JbnT
"Aww, come on now," said Amanda, "you know perfectly well what's going on. You don't have to lie to Frank here."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnxhmFyW1m
"Could you just shut up for once!" Mrs McDonell looked red on the face as she turned to face Amanda.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH0sD5TtTT
"Look1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBFzdRaP3z
here, Bertha, Fred is going to find out anyway. Just tell him now so 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPdjOoD9xV
that you won't have the problem of telling him in the future."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukvEuVPK0z
Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiKpkdnrUy
McDonell didn't say anything as Mr McDonell slowly reached the bottom 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4sAwordG6
of the stairs. He looked at his wife and then to Eric, Oliver and his 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkSsKe5Qnk
mother, and they too were quiet.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7HIjotFR1
"May someone please tell me what's going on?" Mr McDonell asked.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiKcdodPF7
"I told you that nothing is wrong, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell. "Are you going to listen to the lies of your delirious mother?"1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMseqTI1E
"Since when I'm I the delirious one?" Amanda asked shockingly. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9y6DjBARE
"Mind what you say, Bertha. This is my mother you're talking about," Mr McDonell warned.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqodqmqBpLG
"Believe me, honey, nothing is wrong," said Mrs McDonell. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5pRvW9rpT
Mr McDonell shook his head and stared at his mother and the others. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqZgMbOZ5
"Mum, please tell me whats wrong, right now," demanded Mr McDonell. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FxrWTkoS
"Leo is angry at his mother for inviting Kim over for dinner," replied Amanda quickly. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn92QaLIWWs
Mr McDonell looked back at his wife who avoided eye contact with him.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNLDQtELBl
"Of1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwbzr2MoLv
all people you must know better than anyone how Leo is. You know he 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Wtbzgugs
wasn't ready to face Kim even when he knows it's wrong avoiding her for 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QGIo2kuo4
so long. As a mother you should know that all he needed was time," said 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb75zHevdsx
Mr McDonell. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1l2p6LKcF
"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. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP3B4HyuHT
"Well, he did say he was going to see her tomorrow," interfered Amanda, "just to quit you from nagging him any more."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvg5rQ2FZc
"I1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmeK9Dsaa
know that you're trying to help Leo, but you should let him make his 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa826lMt2gE
own decisions," said Mr McDonell. "You always think you can take control1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSw182oxkL
over people's lives when it isn't your own, Bertha."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDbFwFafkq
"But...." Mrs McDonell was quickly interrupted. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni8i2c8S1x
"Not1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq2F1Wooeb
another word, please." Mr McDonell raised a hand to stop his wife from 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgssGiMTJBd
saying anything else. "Putting that aside, I need to make an 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrwKm3YVAg
announcement."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjldcK6vQKY
"And what is that, son?" Amanda asked looking concerned.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXyQInOAP3
"In1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82h8BhnqG9
a few days time, we will be putting Lisa to rest after her daughter, 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT0aoCG131
Angel is discharged from the hospital," said Mr McDonell, "and the two 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyc5InIHwJ
sisters might come to leave with us."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6wrzDvPVM
For1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ujki7bKQi
a moment, the room was quiet, until Amanda laughed with so much glee 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XsGMFI6gS
like a teenager and clapped her hands. Eric had a smile on his face.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD08FA7IVe
"That's1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSeAsp9PKR
good," said Amanda. "I've been dying to meet Lisa's children for a long1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1NzjQTFYr
time now. This is good news, Fred. I can't wait to see them."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHdbxaBeH
Mrs1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhRAgh0Hwh
McDonell gave out a loud snort and everyone turned to face her. Her 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfOpWQ93T0
arms were folded and her face was one full of fury and disgust.1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw26bZb0W8d
"This1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjLt8yOMp
is just ridiculous," said Mrs McDonell, "you're bringing in those two 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjZfKapyAu
girls just because of that stupid promise you made to Lisa before she 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjV2Ew5cFS
died."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotMlWIxsKI
"What's1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX6foZMmuA
wrong with you? Is it me or is it that you have always had a problem 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VfLo8EZNV
with Lisa even now when she is dead?" asked Mr McDonell. 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZEhXxoYDX
"Ya,1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP6a6TqtwR
you're right. I have had a problem with Lisa for years. And now, it 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdWImnJiUV
seems problems still come about even from the land of the dead."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41273Shq6
"You1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l206LnMYf
should learn to respect the dead, you know?" said Amanda. "I wonder why1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6aa9krwPS
you have hated her so much all these years, Bertha."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31iyirersQ
"You'll never know so stop asking," Mrs McDonell snapped. "I just hope those girls never agree to come and stay in this house."1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVGL12XQgs
With1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMprF8ADKRh
that, Mrs McDonell headed for the stairs like an angry devil ready to 1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUAENtM1jJ
destroy everyone and everything in her way. When she reached her room at1012Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuHwYFYs5C
the top floor, she banged the door shut behind her.
