Since that fateful day, a1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSjphhD1XF
lot had changed the in the McDonell household. When the wedding 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoZ2F2bB8K
got cancelled, things took a turn for the worst and its been that way 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsQVWsuzSH
ever since. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuugmehZJg
Life was getting a whole1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpBM7NKzLj
lot complicated, especially for Leo. Home didn't feel the same anymore,1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs2nSpMlhy
not after what had happened. The place felt like a ghost town and he 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpd5x18ogU
could tell that it didn't carry that welcoming feeling anymore. To him, 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQuXlMZ8kV
he felt like a stranger in his own home.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjwNE2RK4
Only his grandmother and1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL79Mkh3s7k
Eric, who had been with him in everything, gave Leo the little comfort 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8z2SWLzQb
he needed in the house. Including his little cousin, Oliver. As for the 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKIhHquSrq
rest of the others...... well, it was another story all together.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fS023t32J
Coming to his father, he1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKBvMR8RcQ
wasn't mad at Leo at the reason every one seemed to be mad at him for. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZcVpa6Kzu
Mr McDonell was more concerned about Leo not apologising to Angel over 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysHJDKTAwQ
the accident and Leo didn't like that at all. He knew he was wrong, but 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BinHmbNY2
the fact that his father was more on Angel's side just because his 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGBxO7bBwl
father was Angel's late mother's friend, was driving him crazy. It was 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmm2GE2yNJ
already enough that he had met the angry Angel who almost tore him apart1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQgblCrk2x
on the day of the wedding. Now it turns out that his father obliged to 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJI41rypEB
taking care of Angel and Carly because of the promise he had made to 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXOnrTzD5v
their mother. Not that Carly was the problem, Angel was.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wOglmtErl
As Leo sat in the car 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypkn1nIOr0
packed outside along the driveway of the house under the setting sun, he1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8Xn7QW79
thought of what Carly had told him earlier. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH6FTtoqq3
"You and my sister still hate each other."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7V05WoTRY
Was that it? Was that 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtrhabT2WM
why he still couldn't stand the fact that his father was helping Angel 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6i9KUTBsD
out? Did he really hate her that much?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1HVE7sEYT
Well, judging by the way1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhagodKcyye
she almost killed him that day, what wasn't there to hate? No one had 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiU3Bpdn1I
ever approached him like that, especially a lady. And he hated her for 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hRZi4cIti
that. Or was there another reason to hate her?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxoHvFSpG
Carly. It's pretty 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMyLc10po
obvious that Angel wouldn't allow Leo to be with Carly when Leo was 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrinXDCDQ9
madly in love with her. And after almost killing Angel with his car, it 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Mg2N7UeS
just seemed to have made things turn from sour to rotten.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7EfB64TrI
He had to admit, it was 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWc6XlE9Qq
going to be pretty hard to accept Angel around if she really did decide 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm0Nm9JdyB
to come and live with his family. He wasn't going to allow that to 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkJ3ahP21
happen, not for now at least. Even his own mother wouldn't accept such a1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pTgrYH7aa
thing to happen.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf5lGLW2nj
Speaking of his mother, 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJyRY8xcKZ
Mrs McDonell had been avoiding Leo these past few days. She always got 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXspY3vfHcR
like that whenever things never went her way. There were a few times the1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdLblIRM1e
two talked, but it was always about whether Leo had gone to see Kim and1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6hzxc4tnF
tried to set up plans for their next wedding. The fact is, Leo didn't 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0mkoBMkCe
want to marry Kim, yet meet her ever again. Ever since the day of the 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OK4YdUkn1
wedding, Leo had never even bothered to see Kim face to face. Not that 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkswx8loQ4H
he was a coward, he just didn't want to. Kim usually called him to try 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjMQFxIBrf
and talk things over, but Leo would say he was busy and would call her 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHrI0hYgZY
later, which he never did.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fDGZyYV3z
Leo pulled out his phone1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7UtGlM4Lx
out of his pocket and he saw a text message. It was from Kim. Oh great!1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucfnxnwfLp
He wondered what it was all about now.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX6oN5PEZO
"Hi, Leo. Was trying 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeronaXwvh
to reach you through your phone, but it seemed to be off. I just wanted 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xXeGbAyiv
to inform you that your mother invited me over for dinner at your place 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzyREb4POm
and maybe we could try to talk things over in person. I've been dying to1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U3YTyOFcM
talk to you, Leo, and I think this will be a perfect opportunity to do 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmd4opIlv2
so. See you at eight then."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlohwUcTPS
"Damn it, mum!" Leo hit the steering wheel with his fist with so much anger.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W4mdLjQdg
He quickly got out of 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nWFyma4iY
the car and banged the door shut behind him. He charged towards the 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vc9HZ8Wqn
front door of the house on the stone path like an angry bull. He knew he1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfl5TF8Oap
had let his mother get her way, but this was too much.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IMxvCpsRr
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZbs1n5BKN
***1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPIdL0PYrx
"I1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEGTaXKy5u
want dinner to be extra special tonight," ordered Mrs McDonell to the 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcK9d6dh7M
chef who worked in the kitchen. "We're receiving a very important guest 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1GytKVcy2
this evening and I want things the way I like it."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PyonUJY3Z
The1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUioiv29j2f
chef gave her an obedient nod and left for the kitchen. A few minutes 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdb8cIVh0H
later, the sound of the door being opened and banged shut was heard. Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL2Bb0eIqr
McDonell had a puzzled look on her face as she went to see what was 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobfUfu0COn
going on. As she was entering the living room, she saw Leo standing 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHgDqlbK2v
close to the front door and he looked pretty angry.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUN2nt0SQ
"Leo! What on earth is going on with you busy banging doors like a mad man?" Mrs McDonell asked.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIee6x8w6xT
Leo1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7dyCAmaSY
turned quickly to his mother as he heard her voice. He straightened 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs9eugC5Lz
himself and walked into the living room closing the distance between him1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonDhBBFXQ
and his mother. He stood at a reasonable distance and his mother put 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMCRq2yRIB
her hands on her hips staring at him, as she furrowed her eyebrows. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmws0YpZJKh
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhiLKapwMM
"Maybe1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICpK6Q4HzU
I do want to kill you, mum," answered Leo, "but apparently, I wouldn't 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOpNG8hjWZ
have the pleasure of doing it even if I wanted to."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwid4bxVqnz
"What the heck are you talking about? Why are you mad at me?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicQ1uCb6oW
"The1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLRQPw788I
reason why I'm mad is because you always do what you think is good only1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNYe6Sns5m
for yourself and not considering anybody else around you."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hd39sW604
"Be clear, Leo. I don't understand all this," Mrs McDonell now looked concerned.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnAzKpEul
"What is going on here?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOy2kVS8gT
Amanda appeared from the hall with Eric pushing her wheelchair and Oliver following behind them.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtqInDCOIA
"We heard the banging of the door," said Eric, "is everything all right?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1TZoeeJmY
"It's1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKVOp2VToa
all under control," replied Mrs McDonell, "Leo and I just need to talk 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlEu1BWYs
over a few things. May you leave us alone for a while?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7zKoEhudI
"No, I have no problem if they stay here, mum," said Leo, "this matter also concerns them too."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEFD0jzuZP
"Now1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuIfGy5seM
this is about to get interesting," said Amanda as she folded her hands 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmCGr3QXCo
over her lap. Mrs McDonell shot her a look and turned towards Leo again.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuc79i1xdE
"What is it, Leo?" Mrs McDonell asked.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6L7hwmOlt
"I1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7PgqBTJ0T
want to know why you invited Kim over here to have dinner with us 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv3dvnVMi9
tonight," Leo went straight to the point. Now wasn't the time to start 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNCnd256C6
beating around the bush.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvCHMWMvf4
Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG4McAlqFt
McDonell paused for a while as she stared at Leo who clenched his 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddC4FjRvy
fists. A smirk appeared across Amanda's face and it was good that Mrs 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJMfJaIlM2
McDonell didn't notice. Things weren't going to turn out well at all.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepT9kLzgN
"I...1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRz4bgfBJS
well, you see, Kim has been dying to speak to you, Leo," the response 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhoDT3mGa
came out as a struggle for Mrs McDonell. "I thought you two should try 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4IteOeCXD
to see if you could arrange the date for the next wedding."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS8KF9HX8V
"So1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xVlMrhwW1
all that's running in your mind is about the wedding then, isn't it?" 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kgQuv769l
Leo almost laughed, but he shook his head. "Have you ever tried to think1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk5DvX2lVg
about what I want? You think bringing me and Kim would try to make 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTQGLd8tkz
things better? You pretty well know that ever since that day, things 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuNeOhKsZr
aren't the same as they were, mum."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZV3C2ysm
"I know, Leo, but I'm just trying to make things right for you."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVSnqVI6er
"No,1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKCNfWhxA
mum! You aren't! You're making things worse! All this is what you want,1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljY2AvtxQS
but not what I want! I have the right to make my own decisions, don't 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSQzEWKde
I?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6aM6Pphax
"You've every right to. But you ignoring Kim like this isn't going to help."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg17ULzSNX
"Look,1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFefaYAYsEF
mum," Leo pressed his temples with his thumb and index finger, trying 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABzdVWElfq
to keep in the pressure, "I know that ignoring Kim for so long isn't 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZvdwW764H
right, but don't you think I should have known all about this first? As 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUpVFHQrf9
far as I know, I'm the one who was supposed to get married to her, not 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEorefTsvJy
you."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFONueOzCvD
There1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s3oA2wnjt
was silence in the living room as the air around them turned cold. Mrs 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfsSHXvGf7
McDonell looked as white as a sheet while Leo kept on giving her the 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7GElvsmM
angry stare. Eric and his brother, Oliver were stunned and Amanda's 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4w5OYrVD
smirk soon turned into a wide smile. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXndza2ubV
"Leo, how... could you...." Mrs McDonell was lost for words. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m51FxCojV
"You1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtTOhP98dM
don't like it when someone talks back at you, don't you, mum?" Leo 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnDXXhdOHW
asked. "I have told you time and time again that I would talk to Kim 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5nWQM6fqk
when the right time came, but no. You only want things to be done your 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZmrhQXoWA
way! I've tolerated that these past years, but you have gone too far, 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkrsPDkW4
mum, way too far."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKyCwfJblz
Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHn4PYJvKg
McDonell stammered, but it was no use anyway. Leo seemed to be done 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvgFGJgpL8
with what he had to say and he turned for the stairs. Before he began 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9pkomq7vC
the ascension, he stood still for a moment. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx1k6027zC
"And1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMfQukwe7D
do me one favour, mum," said Leo, without looking at his mother, 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMahrRYNx2
"cancel the special dinner you had for Kim. And tell her I'm meeting her1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtzxbvFXI9
tomorrow. Maybe then, you would stop bothering me about all this."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsermaToq
Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRNqS0jNkG
McDonell still didn't say anything as she continued to look at her son.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaD7PVbGVE
As Leo climbed up the stairs, Mr McDonell was coming down from his 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7GNIwl5go
room. As he passed Leo, he noticed that something was wrong and he 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PxmKmOnI
stared down at the people at the bottom of the stairs.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT1MozHzfp
"May I know what's going on here?" Mr McDonell asked. "And why does Leo look so upset?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZutwzOquh
"It's... its nothing, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell, "he's just upset. Thats all."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENEV0voYlw
"Aww, come on now," said Amanda, "you know perfectly well what's going on. You don't have to lie to Frank here."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBdc5VG86t
"Could you just shut up for once!" Mrs McDonell looked red on the face as she turned to face Amanda.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH9Mnp8sbw
"Look1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRk9t7X0yH
here, Bertha, Fred is going to find out anyway. Just tell him now so 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxenxvEPpC
that you won't have the problem of telling him in the future."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJPuVj7Zv
Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcxLkXfXHt
McDonell didn't say anything as Mr McDonell slowly reached the bottom 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gq4GzhL0Q
of the stairs. He looked at his wife and then to Eric, Oliver and his 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQVFaxKuvE
mother, and they too were quiet.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvQzT37lqR
"May someone please tell me what's going on?" Mr McDonell asked.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetAENBZZfX
"I told you that nothing is wrong, Fred," replied Mrs McDonell. "Are you going to listen to the lies of your delirious mother?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpf9BcY3Rn
"Since when I'm I the delirious one?" Amanda asked shockingly. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE76hOuygy
"Mind what you say, Bertha. This is my mother you're talking about," Mr McDonell warned.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkcYCCnBFV
"Believe me, honey, nothing is wrong," said Mrs McDonell. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1L3KNtSTQ
Mr McDonell shook his head and stared at his mother and the others. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cpu3Qreox
"Mum, please tell me whats wrong, right now," demanded Mr McDonell. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHXXtY5LiH
"Leo is angry at his mother for inviting Kim over for dinner," replied Amanda quickly. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPwAUmMBFG
Mr McDonell looked back at his wife who avoided eye contact with him.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsnDIRTxgu
"Of1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTyd2IgLr
all people you must know better than anyone how Leo is. You know he 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTrnz4cUUo
wasn't ready to face Kim even when he knows it's wrong avoiding her for 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PF4NuNWr9
so long. As a mother you should know that all he needed was time," said 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1duYJQDJPN
Mr McDonell. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpWJww6QiH
"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. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLKwO2X9k8
"Well, he did say he was going to see her tomorrow," interfered Amanda, "just to quit you from nagging him any more."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUij04P0Cm
"I1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PxladjT6f
know that you're trying to help Leo, but you should let him make his 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTc7H5SZsX
own decisions," said Mr McDonell. "You always think you can take control1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lW98pAVwk
over people's lives when it isn't your own, Bertha."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwy2MhURng
"But...." Mrs McDonell was quickly interrupted. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwnMzA1Ccs
"Not1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJsabkOMh3
another word, please." Mr McDonell raised a hand to stop his wife from 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNtKNfLO4a
saying anything else. "Putting that aside, I need to make an 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAvekU81i5
announcement."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtTrluVFGA
"And what is that, son?" Amanda asked looking concerned.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYqoWfly5H
"In1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW7BQUc3EB
a few days time, we will be putting Lisa to rest after her daughter, 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo5eIkBTjD
Angel is discharged from the hospital," said Mr McDonell, "and the two 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I6bmOjGVf
sisters might come to leave with us."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv0sjb5e2s
For1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb2o0EJmiM
a moment, the room was quiet, until Amanda laughed with so much glee 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRLCdEYIqz
like a teenager and clapped her hands. Eric had a smile on his face.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtgWBnu1Ll
"That's1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNCR3QaiSn
good," said Amanda. "I've been dying to meet Lisa's children for a long1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyriOsB2Dq
time now. This is good news, Fred. I can't wait to see them."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IPO9CWEqs
Mrs1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFqYFJPpq6
McDonell gave out a loud snort and everyone turned to face her. Her 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD94eohVMS
arms were folded and her face was one full of fury and disgust.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWcBfeffty
"This1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kWthamM3
is just ridiculous," said Mrs McDonell, "you're bringing in those two 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrtftFGBJE
girls just because of that stupid promise you made to Lisa before she 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmrnICSOOu
died."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDZ9NcGqSo
"What's1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHem2mqbiF2
wrong with you? Is it me or is it that you have always had a problem 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWyO84P182
with Lisa even now when she is dead?" asked Mr McDonell. 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB5IAiL5dZ
"Ya,1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqMdyzFm2J
you're right. I have had a problem with Lisa for years. And now, it 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGUleS3Fhn
seems problems still come about even from the land of the dead."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gaDpVZOz
"You1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTFwBI2fBY
should learn to respect the dead, you know?" said Amanda. "I wonder why1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ocWlIuQ4
you have hated her so much all these years, Bertha."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9iZbBkNQ7
"You'll never know so stop asking," Mrs McDonell snapped. "I just hope those girls never agree to come and stay in this house."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8763x4pUtf
With1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0OoBrt7gr
that, Mrs McDonell headed for the stairs like an angry devil ready to 1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqx73ce54q
destroy everyone and everything in her way. When she reached her room at1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJG1PSSqOX
the top floor, she banged the door shut behind her.
