"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjnf787fhC
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgHv5bYHL2
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejUJXiZwyn
"What's up with you, 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcipRqZCWG
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtuEs2vRJ
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjuHiGhOUW
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6qEFrPWRi
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql4grv2Fv3
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhptKzd7wil
"And you have to make a 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4JnVCFLsT
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLdEAC4Y7z
guests in the house so mind your manners."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvOcdUea5h
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgnlNpDv0G
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl30Zl53mW3
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfazGnWrJn
"What? Those girls are here?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw70VTReAL5
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJr5OhMIls
Mrs McDonell nodded her 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVfPZk8zZU
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwigP9WfqIN
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbILWezC2
her face was totally hard to read.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkyg3dfgID
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXmrO20F8x
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh51oPw9hep
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNw9BlkMYs
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6Cx1v6yMF
"May you two please have854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XiqhCZBlf
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMbKjAw8De
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjPDOK79ee
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmrDKvOaZM
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3KlHCVvMU
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYifyugus0F
"You really know how to 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GXyeBi8JK
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q3yySCoHp
you just want to leave them out on the street?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlYtAO1XIm
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLAt4dqjQ6
"What's wrong with them 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDnG4yUPb
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nK6nwLyNu
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmY11urROa
accident."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe5fqUBBlr
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0msNRlye2p
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8jOndH7G
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX30QYJaTM
Mrs McDonell soon turned854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2v0SwxKDR
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxRe3le8Vg
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDoMWinJ48
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHyxUmPyBS
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6nDtDm3Ru
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeBrMxOlXb
"It's so good to finally meet you."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uyaq6R8O1
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld6sWFIJEx
Angel held up her hand 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhW3Ylwxqe
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPVug4gZ5
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sIFHbwQZV
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM4mdx5wKk
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhAqPnDHIc
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEHWoAMCmu
McDonell. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IDn3NeQoe
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA6MTpD6Ej
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hRwFgUOUC
"Looks like you already 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t5JQELyAP
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45iDr5zN0
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41oCq3F1Ue
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkb43URXKn
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOWB4jnB4V
"Now that the 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX2c3IspA6
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb2z0xLcxi
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlwCN3Clum
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DbcC2oVxx
guest rooms downstairs."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLHqcv50UZ
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6BXMWoonD
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsF1CCUZRQ
Angel just smiled at 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflNnT6TgF7
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0liSf2vrI
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFU3mWI4NK
it.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahERjmOX38
A few seconds later, 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3JQdDH86s
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCF8Eis0Dz
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE4RA8YTYg
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLnBlC6nIn
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOsTLjQrF7
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZvAocNzu8
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCgH4qAHg
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKTr4cvLSB
Mrs McDonell turned to 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4QL09Csd
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXIbAYYpig
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwNn42L0Fh
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItWcrM6Moe
***854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncqgiR5TP
It854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoBmdKdXCI
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiOGz7j42w
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwjXFFsksh
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZSUNNUssh
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWJlXhYvX
854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vyiZAMepL
She854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6EYUxqtZD
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAIjKk47Mp
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmyggbzem
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz397dwQJC
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNnY0KF5DB
No854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzsQfaUSTJ
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA3xvkQs3D
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN3ToGRJMJ
Leo.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIhGuJGIrI
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCHx9L3SHu
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uDhGeZiff
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YaLPnuqGs
unclenched her fists time and time again.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod0f1NArrA
While854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJwhiO7Zb
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP78IToPsB
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZM2tIbpiB
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWNlWxE8pR
eyes.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJGNnRuFSI
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnclUvlahlO
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3hkCI7GdK
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrCXosbT7d
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoN4DOesFN
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBfuTzcNtN
Angel854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXawwWm05i
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYD16w8Lz
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6UEaRMAKL
brother."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu3geKgxJ3
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9AzkrJB51
"Mambo-jumbo?854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ88FPFMtZ
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScm5N7Fuzr
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1QO4Ty6cE
pretty as Angel here."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7s01THOas
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtxU6vPixq
Oliver854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP1mgmgDkJ
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDq4oR2ski
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpcuZJarY
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYA0GvrBRh
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdTnipcAFE
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFld06MjFf
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8tSLZvG0
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.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykOxgMbxe2
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuZmzgOAyM
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgdOGm7CjA
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef5qflyjkK
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSYGM2Od3D
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfddCb2cedY
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX0o7Sqotq
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55apqbxOdP
"Well,854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEe9XGs5CL
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLUYWqPArk
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ebKcyyLW
Amanda854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmvRVLVuTY
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6nEnL3N0H
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCybM0vkgk
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCB4yWcjsY
"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."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7TjRnw7J9
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5rBDNoD8c
"You854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94zsq2gpIf
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNmc3TDcHT
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dss2uSbpi
that no one knows what really happened that day."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkc83AOVgC
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAGCPTtfal
Eric854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvTXXGNWPY
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF9DT9Fgvs
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLahu2B93NQ
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQOQDrt5fo
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbhxxlphAo
her and not the other way around.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8UDzf91yS
***854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcutpkoGTtH
Carly854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs916qVcQcw
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRY1S50TS6
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IEScagt3o
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zVOwH5bHY
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsDe4MNBT0
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbndJKiYt
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLR3FwR44K
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wwXnkgzro
Carly's854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPnURWtVh
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEimeSahqf3
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVhomIz6RW
because of how her sister would react.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQnREC7pN
Diana854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGL3wsSyl7
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT4zNOZfNV
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDnlh4kq1
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhcfHnXsIq
earlier. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJvrzaXqnX
Diana854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGyNEVCsk6
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1a9h5LNRK
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCKpMZAYJR
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1LalwY7b9
she tried to hide her urge.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErbewFD4wP
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYtExKS1n4
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd8YdCrN4i
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF5NX4W5vW
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuFBGQ9R9Z
"Guests?"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8cm0uLH1E
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOlOCi2zF
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMO48Z43F0
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxhm1enYY4
Carly854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslLTbAWmPR
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdRePSCryQ
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJmjZ6crN6
Angel.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANq9BXRJNI
"Leo,854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdBrMLz9qO
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH8xixoSzd
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzYUWcbIbE
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjpZOCZDqq
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWn8bG9SoH
Leo854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42D8xIHrcy
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIZk1qnkEQ
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJB25C7HkM
"I'm854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ayeMdmda7
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuuCkD3XJ7
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeMk4vofDw
Leo854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRATwDAIwsa
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ck2KtaggZ
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzJFS3x00V
it's own.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08J48zCxfD
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gu5Jdi5an
Leo854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPTn4fKMOi
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoHoMyDlZx
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOehnpJXf
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8H4dLantZ
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD2Gz28I2Y
being here in the McDonell household.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLf6GpMOUk
When854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe7o0iWhsL
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UELtZq3oH
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLucH5Wfl2w
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTDz3NwHnH
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGQEkmqgRy
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuJjwLEVE0
than they thought.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlssF6ZKez
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8JDmwguPk
"I....eh...,"854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXFeAT07gj
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva22qQrPJu
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LrASUUYg
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEjgQTDtXd
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwr57Mx0GW
the minute.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBau1aShK0
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdReffInzyl
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdACy8kRBJw
"Never better."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRP4RSAuph
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAdSZAvaFV
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjuCwzzcxI
"Sure854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBxsoxLvSO
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgTTi8FGKh
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sOb9h3tb8
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD8kAWpHpi
nothing but silence between them.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkjswafA3A
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6YEmpknTT
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZzsYM69i
"Okay."854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxFC0BsVmJ
Carly854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViKjssxuj4
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDGTZv92Gh
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sr8YG3EQC
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEVtAhsWUw
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMKbmRMwWx
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4DgoFSF9
holding her hand.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAGlUlAyXv
While854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTxcyKeQDs
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3AS3NAKlQ
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBSA9iIM9
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGslTh6qrv6
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYxu6A2pT
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX2GWdAteu
When854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgFxD7Be97
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl18aWcPXF9
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgpjXHm8wi
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdHfdCaoy6
a living nightmare.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEbLQTV98
He854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ417aQGq0Ma
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprQA6uuVLI
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pyh4BjS84
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S89kiRx3C
accident and he had never apologised for it.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k6r58w24D
He854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65a4K6NtEs
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K0hPTzGI3
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx33xXaYitj
definitely kill him.854Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bJ7B8PXPP
