Carly walked in through 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxsb9uh2Q
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxep3OTzNm
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaiNwUPGBn
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobyT0ttygw
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EFZbukeDh
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr29n18vH5
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDa4tWuHVb
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Vwx7MtwW
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFfeO9qEfv
"Have you already eaten lunch?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQjkbZ63E
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyWF4ivwHn
"Looks like the shopping did you good."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV3DJpxQph
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvHIrxmYeL
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d6zlpYmQa
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1zceqmSeU
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O9dqaxwBg
"In the study?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANF64lp4dR
"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."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscvgycRi8u
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92HZ7GosB3
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoyUTVWOZy
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3jRs220PX
"I know you're supposed 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlheGc0v9eP
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiwWvgNOGM
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo49oxaHS4Y
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefMtiV3kkb
Carly felt herself 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WVwDaOORZ
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ0RbKXKHt
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwF0lh2KKq
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBcyVBLuvC
her that.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7YwGuh7I
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnVmVWsZ2
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyJyUU3KUf
Just before the two 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUtPt2GfQW
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfoWN9py5q
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOin3DNuj
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdBCsQWbd1
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2kwa3r8pC
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEGnQQ3RbT
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRZq7uuXEn
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM7HKpGY4o
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90WIN3E4vc
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqCO4fy0AH
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9mfJoARFW
Carly went on her way 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURGhzdhpg8
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgmOcZu3OI
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZk1JSe6iD
from Amanda.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLpWArpaB
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihYwQ8wIF
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMKVzyYwoc
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvv8fx1aO9
Carly couldn't hear 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC6MOeYNur
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRwG18JXF2
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4RwdJD03
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y9WLWiiX4
Before she could get to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo0KZp2Iok
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdYUQ24Vh2
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98t0Z8RZt0
She opened the door to 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTJzQ32A2E
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZgWVtd7Vf
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFYQsHbXr
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJCBnYzXoX
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM2Hila3f1
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OD4br2Db8
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPzp5yfJCx
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDryG24AhCj
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3RNIKLXqZ
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaYqHFqY5p
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5DjJXHZZ5
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAYEinVk3X
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoKmieEdGf
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GDeZyfU1V
"How has been your day?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhqlj7y2Zq
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJNNeWRLNH
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡingVNiGrcS
facing her sister.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5N7DPHld4
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZQA7GjhJe
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqUnZQEw28
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxndMO6ro7
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ94YJLqIy
Angel faced the glass 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1hyVtwDzj
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbo5uMxIC
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yK7aEr3cl
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcH7F6swi7
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleq7fShzDu
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwtukGeXxL
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqwe43C15X
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmmaWpqg9
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4on7OL0IpJ
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjdVt8TQRC
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro5xNyEGpZ
Carly's mouth fell open 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8DGKE0WHN
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4UKC3Rn4K
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvknMpAMgZ8
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJIeTnvNPH
"Do you think I would 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxH0B795Mj
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhm1aPBFwk
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAWEGTma2X
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFU9KlYcmm
"For you, yes because 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6hlplPDsC
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RcpwLRqzi
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnze04sPf6m
the mall?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAqZSwn2C
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkUeZvvDol
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUSxAZkB3v
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaAGoU1MOE
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzazKp4utfP
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINumWO65F9
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJiK9nOwDi
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8iA2uBmid
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNeMDRYC07
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNUlLaxfy
"I wouldn't worry about 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4yYS9GTxi
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8wo4PDnvG
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneE88jO80f
"When a lady's fiancé 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPOrnoMPmp
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCqTvZOZW8
that there might be another woman."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAOZqUjXOx
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNiQv2qLSQ
Angel felt like 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsN6e9bXax
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw4bcX09x7
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDad3SqFTN
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htendlnW3
"Well, what do you 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZQlnsjJYS
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3H14Juo1
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVZZBAtwWa
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3di9WdwML
Kim for good."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9qS4sCENW
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxLA1bj0bm
Angel placed the book 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9XpzBVpzO
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymasJJqHgt
started to wheel herself out of the room.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCua2nSc5t
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUmT6QpSsH
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFciN7A8M
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FAmjiNao
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvad68mXY
"You want me to move on 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacHmaDfiey
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4JzXAxFqS
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAdzWbKOZV
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNm9w2ydAl
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai0k4KY5Zt
"What?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFhze7CVr
Carly felt powerless as 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIzYm3XvKx
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVIfbgGEBJ
on her chair so as to look at Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3R5ziJBcr
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnKku3aiOg
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZYxT2Qbsr
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwTmUvMX4D
Carly felt her knees 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMdN27qyzk
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5gSQfr7kt
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLk9KDibtd
lost and confused.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWplsSHb4u9
"At least you now know 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzacMQwd0yg
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclhsf6cInE
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXTuMjxjzu
to or else that would've killed her instead."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7bUmw5Aga
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K4q8B1B61
"But it's the truth." 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvEYT8VGTe
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokvcwpyDL
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oirKjcb0h
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9XfbHsh5
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6hEKWONvg
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9SAcqv6kf
Angel looked on at 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAARytu01W
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr82C5tTQGU
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbpCbnvNMq
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN0LV73mHb
sister anymore.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IwD5uSFLI
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOU8vvxJlv
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnDZTxtBuI
Angel flinched by the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuiHIQpz4d
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguRLi5d2jG
hadn't heard their whole conversation.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8dkXHYjfM
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.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrMM1JciIo
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJA5QBFFcu
Amanda continued to look882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvFhm3Yred
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAs27K29i5
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFUSYc0er
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kzd7xWvvQ
"Well, you should have 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSjWiRL3Ce
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bY9FLXnWj
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDb6tlDyk
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKFTVmrJhC
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo1auGgqrN
"Of course."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzvs3Ez8pz
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkm5JAuyl2
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz7avvCP5b
"Well, I better go and 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2lfrINYHa
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp3LiwdJH6
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmDlIslrWM
my best behaviour."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Wn4bUgvY
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlRQZmO8e3
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMw5P5X7j
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQLbxEftXI
"You're right, dear. I'm not."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuosdteK19
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZaY3Q5ET
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKQYg1RkoZ
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZr9Zq3Kcd
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRew01pRzyD
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq30hFUwiR
Carly looked at Angel 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarnLAGZcrZ
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mqnenoReT
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7v8abvlJm
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUrsZl4NEH
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoEQKoNY86
"What should I do?" 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hkH8CELS
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczTWCtx3w2
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm1BYQPhra
dinner."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHZ7ZbMS59
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvoQusC1Pu
"Are you serious?" Angel882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7OTGicw3j
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5drHjiPt
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZVReI1gLM
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMjflpIFqJ
"I wouldn't like to know882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbKzDYDBPV
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadR8185WOt
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfMHCE4v8O
future."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgFKmw4HKW
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0RahuTk0D
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH1rxHU8sR
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6mabCG4Jw
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNpGAOaOwT
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2g6H5qdjV
Carly almost gave a 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXdrRp8Sf1
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD31228e3m
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHAVy5MtSD
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfOxKmuhC0
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FVjzSoZCi
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE00T3QvoCv
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeNfgDsSC0
Amanda turned her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV0eUadE8N
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTPEzTG26z
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDStJoaAPt3
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx9VOU0beG
"With what?" Angel asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS51s5so9f
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GYxjthAF
"Carly, you aren't going882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQVsMYu0zC
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3XEUfj3Me
backside. You don't want to make it worse."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB51KFhvDT1
"But aren't you scared?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4qcA02bAa
Angel raised her eyebrow882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzKV5NobzM
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXBLqesss
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiTjL2XiO9
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgLzKGIQ6M
"I'm glad you've changed882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLkASkVRXD
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHR8UxX9p
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2HPGXUKvz
would be a problem."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinj1fjNAx3
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmuRzkhvUD
"It's none of my 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19TqAzfNRd
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILeY03DSyj
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj8BzJ1TxR
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhNl0ezSxp
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2wszdeLxz
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKsT7NGFoH
When Angel left the 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLr3zb79WF
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 882Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDujoQOpsYj
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
