"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡralxZwrChE
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wv24qhvfR
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStQbT0Rsr8
"What's up with you, 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ikyiOaRGP
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoivnkiJivb
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4W7GtCbC
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrezoECiqZ
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmOFZgjwjW
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKskBnC5YfF
"And you have to make a 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCicaMQFDH
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmXj1fxlv
guests in the house so mind your manners."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE4OX8sji3
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLcXp9sHSX
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjrP95F09a
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUUkJXyFS9
"What? Those girls are here?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAoZyCJb7D
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLc4IbenG
Mrs McDonell nodded her 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8kBaqKshN
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNLnQFp4xW
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc91u27pwb
her face was totally hard to read.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgovOehM4k
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1mXcqcMwT
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVA7eZvSZf
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPflP2RfD2v
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7B37uigha
"May you two please have803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGf6IgHpDn
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4afjW9m8o
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAOQwt6r7
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YGy8RSQZ7
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmm7IqGN7j
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzBFa8pAWF
"You really know how to 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ALxGH4wk
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb55bVKzfu
you just want to leave them out on the street?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67O1CSm58N
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W7EGEzz3J
"What's wrong with them 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPJ55e2T5
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCjFAa6pCr
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt4Wo7LWAx
accident."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZBv47MIWg
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwqiCH7wqw
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2skgqp3Cb
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsXlyDgJsX
Mrs McDonell soon turned803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ356uRPchgu
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfYkn3eMlH
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3xzRtLQt
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwiIn6NM8r
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo6vh7bYLj
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH097f2Fnu
"It's so good to finally meet you."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tE9qiZhr2
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9BBpOMFmt
Angel held up her hand 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxGxhxoFOe
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysyBcQwah5
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86SHWIZMi5
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YzKwie69e
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCpv5CJhqQ
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkxjVv7SZR
McDonell. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sgXbcio9r
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEdaf8EmA4
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShTGFJmm8H
"Looks like you already 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vj3pIF5lT
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8t5yLjImO
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF47ZhoJjAM
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPTJSnWAlH
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq49osE0miM
"Now that the 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb67QQgxLRT
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFtrVZDFBY
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxppXyOa4s
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VVEkLe6e6
guest rooms downstairs."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5iQtHQXEO
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2dvRAXsoj
"You should take the room right next to mine," Amanda said to Angel. "That way I would be checking up on you from time to time."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXQwqv9B4
Angel just smiled at 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ZKKHf4Xh
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vtatjDV2D
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Md861hH3G
it.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNqS0pL9ju
A few seconds later, 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UebtHqGaf
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHoPxTX5D2
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz66AWlWlt0
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesXZNV0wf
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL7UWllDvU
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgrazB6fUO
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QD2aYfpEg
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMde9uWrI4
Mrs McDonell turned to 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Q4Kt8HAq
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbXbE1scfc
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o4kJtiWPz
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqMDAgMPP8
***803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDCKAL5awn
It803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vhJ23Ytti
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iOl0hRsBJ
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWUssz512u
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHd1crXODc
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZtrYgoYgP
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iaXEr13qw
She803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC2eYr6m0i
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCbEy3HEXx
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTB14PRRzA
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhFMDHke7E
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjLIv5ZQJA
No803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU5MDDQxXZ
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyi2rkvR7c
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqjykJwT9J
Leo.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqarF71k0g
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBpAZFNys
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YxJxEWihI
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAHxHFXDBG
unclenched her fists time and time again.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4oABQUjUA
While803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ1vmPicc5
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLV4giGcci
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44KtN8XpFY
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0RxMb2C7z
eyes.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxB0T4pbvH
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHTRoC6Bj8
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfk8PpcISa
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHb4nDpD2U
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcBt5hMhMF
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTpyx3Megx
Angel803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDV7gZ6Xws
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6n1YtnDf
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKZOk8ORn
brother."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmTHKDV2TU
"Don't get his hopes up," said Eric as he ruffled his brother's hair. "His way too young for all that love mambo-jumbo."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zlr0hlJhp
"Mambo-jumbo?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU2E9UUCTp
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwvTeLQfY6
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PL3uJtF3O
pretty as Angel here."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNnvfg2Kr
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJebUKnMJ5s
Oliver803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMAegNurp
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmy3nunulv
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdRhYFNSvL
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBioPNtBwz2
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91hJr2T8fl
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr5fjS8kcM
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqipJh7O6N
Angel just gave out a wide smile at Eric and he did the same to her. Then they turned to door and there was Amanda.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglbLSwiN7H
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMdUCOKPeF
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGqlLhPdl9
"Why am I not surprised? That's just how he is anyway," said Amanda with a smile. "Well, we better head for the living room."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aU7j7l9kh
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4O0k8yjof
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyU1De9uRn
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EWZEbGMQv
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTc72yP0d
"Well,803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDiCgoPMJr
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7763XXTsnO
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBShh2ynAxV
Amanda803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTO1Jymq9X
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee7JBL9OIY
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7yBKihD8m
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3vDExwMiE
"I'm never ready for such things, Eric," Angel replied. "I don't know what to do. I feel like when I see Leo, I will kill him."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEDF1bKNk1
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKbBCluFqT
"You803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjbEQjNYk
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmPBi4ivBQ
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6FbkYWAQL
that no one knows what really happened that day."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkrhUn6viF
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhSOwU5uDX
Eric803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY8XRkw2jZ
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnSKbotkWb
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXLU8A6hN
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY97f5mU4Sq
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ciwPwKsJL
her and not the other way around.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTxF7LvyIY
***803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3YkCyrccf
Carly803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18aiiHUXE
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEMxZAgN2e
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWIpLXnmRe
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6TNOyXX5T
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo1STGrPsg
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkltzX1WW9
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD55ILLzVo
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgeOaGbUE
Carly's803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ37z6ZtBM
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JxESPrLZk
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjEYlQ6SOk
because of how her sister would react.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrlHov3nTu
Diana803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GZeu5YWGB
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoHG2dsN59
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj26VMUO3LY
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0VorhyPh
earlier. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRemvJFtdf
Diana803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Wx4XWfLn
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51UNy4BqE
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2Sih4ppzO
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXf7JQe8x2
she tried to hide her urge.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtj5DuClFK
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI1eZvS1ES
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yYemSeyTk
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqCtVkierc
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BtCAn8vHe
"Guests?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqBqvFwFx5
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbUr0m8jtG
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaSe7u4Mif
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L42o5UGtv
Carly803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgv4xVBY1k
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WSOeTvVww
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKNqKMPZKz
Angel.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN3iZOGy6U
"Leo,803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsynVdNUyUM
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYUK8lnkOk
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2C2UyO5Zs
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvDeQ8dR0W
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWd1W6KF7
Leo803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkSoWhA5ZG
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPCQZFxrmN
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4hsBOFlNk
"I'm803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkywz6KnX2B
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgopz4gbwb
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRUnLqvNfP
Leo803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CMW3E4exo
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteimYok3Bb
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk37uP4soRo
it's own.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpciLk93Wu
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TeW8qNhpr
Leo803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BMzkZllkK
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg3GIPTGvj
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZcQ8JHYd
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5BCPGs3b
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYit585H6z
being here in the McDonell household.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRGKHMiQfx
When803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUZpWdoXwh
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXYD2FA54
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yS7soGwJg
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxXM2Gv29V
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopi51QtVtf
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUlhOGZhUf
than they thought.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssrJD96yY2
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4SyJa30h
"I....eh...,"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym3YvLvY3z
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoV6FvWtK
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5DrSCKIU5
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGqGagCWl
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoxiJ27YC0
the minute.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjcHgWR9Na
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNm8rGL9Lc
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGB1uzKMkn
"Never better."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJXDnGgBkR
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SjnRvGWlf
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmsdEw1eeR
"Sure803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd0Rtnd5zW
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbm520Jmu2
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaaneqZK6
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVyONEmPwM
nothing but silence between them.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxaNIl0bwE
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9K8cMJKDL
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PmVzjO98v
"Okay."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhykRkHLu
Carly803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1qnmBpxS
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WsHdXuww
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNdHQDVqt1
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4nc5LVH1w
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM85J3kK4q
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy0ckcyiQL
holding her hand.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0ZTjJLzqM
While803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqY2QxTstj
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P2YqWM08Q
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwN1cC3dES
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZSqHhWBp
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPvf6SpjQs
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrebjZ2NSi
When803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkge8vF4iq
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5CB8pn2Di
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXFQFzO4bF
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN9BLeJuw8
a living nightmare.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0cdadzDM
He803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPbJ9a03ew
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vJoyCt2vU
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdlEvIU24C
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQdMi6C5Ff
accident and he had never apologised for it.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VlCZYLoVm
He803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJIIpnuWF4
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyDdilY3I
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WxlhBf1ib
definitely kill him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWhwWkgx4F
