Leo had a smile on his 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcVpRbQeMV
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33d5cvLbk
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSILGbOSvx
face right in front of him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZABrArwMY
It was morning and the 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jE34nMBMF
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk6hFDqTJX
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwrHBYuR4
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74109tWcRV
brilliantly in the morning sun.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetqwoMC6x
Carly had joined him 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrqNwBwYrT
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DZDtWBflg
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuVMLs9Q96
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxjVxurrZU
birds, of course.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd6Z24rzxE
It was good she came, 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4hJono04b
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdc2V9tEnj
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfCUGNsrwI
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSZaXwBV3r
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEuAD4NOWC
He stretched his hand 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V5rq1ewK3
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15L1uK2doQ
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoivbVS1S7X
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsOa3mw7nt
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2aPqP6ij1
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp58OIRcDh
She didn't respond as 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuvt3oSrYW
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7ila0Zho8
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHN4srRTaF
himself. Leo chuckled.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhE37Ff9gG
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzzkkprje0
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF5FOz5BXq
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJbHsbL0so
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpL6GVegvV
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXjeZMym6G
"You're right. But I 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUByrQrAMjF
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsXqiZzdA8
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUt8Zw8iN
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY8UDGdRIL
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI2Q5Cz6Te
They both got out of bed849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFI7Ksy9a8
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1b3CXsm7p
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EclMXxpv
way to Carly's.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9Lwj1Bjd
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqCtOM9SfA
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg5lDXCTBH
Carly gave him a simple 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpamn8b2EzP
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalVFWNMQCq
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡita5frMrMh
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yPCJAh5zU
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvndzJtq6S
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdSksJn2wH
He made his way 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tfpTyTpG0
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTrWiSVdv3
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdef4wmGEKJ
kitchen.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ19959C4Lz
He wondered who could be849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NmbUmrpyE
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAUNu4jBHs
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE5x17KvGM
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hXHMIGLK
little.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KvxpbqeNz
Angel was standing by 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3uIu1rwi
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD2Tqz30Na
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMFjJnvRNJ
thing that shook him the moment he got there.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahiIDUYq0T
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNuRqAM4KY
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDEUMTz9T5
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKzUPhSyVg
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ776iKStw4b
"I just had to."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA2MREqn8K
"Ummm," Leo still 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K5rBRBUvO
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruQYyFIxDF
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU8d8qqRYL
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeVn8yLCYL
The coffee maker soon 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMAWXSm1g3
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdGVVEuSVj
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOddE12j47N
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzXhRFbRqK
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHVC6BS8Bg
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBisOizevh
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ceXyt9R8
"Why? You wanted me 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwppyXtfsJ
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5YwYiPKNy
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIVuLlUZkA
a cup.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Fch953rw
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3b0ZnCqMl
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsRNuWdUJ2
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBMq3wlzRb
"You still don't seem 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTxUEuFErg
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfxDsqeWwQ
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEHmZWBhq
things."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ACbN3TIJ4
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiz1llCjzi
Angel took a sip of her 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxtRYsHOlk
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9q2DAj2O
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRwBuIvTq8
spent her night with you."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWwPQDH44W
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNna1B4WXHD
Angel smirked and Leo 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpImVraZGl
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWxIFz8Wu
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAcI1G8sVK
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YZ7qE1SLz
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nTCtDzXr1
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63wEH3D4pY
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O8gR5NCEt
"You're right, Leo. It's849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOkX4kZSli
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLHSrV4Cmr
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wsN0hpJDh
have any control over."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyHK1mjJNQ
Leo was a little shocked849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZNNcvUMXX
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtORB47yFXB
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvFikKrr8k
game?849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR7OoJi9x7
She slowly made her way 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO5y8qycvP
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNFQ4KOsC
look at her and something came up in his mind.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLQXC31kJV
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VKYbVKAeP
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3l2nplA6d
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfET1LtpZb
"The time you came into 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWfLQKO7AF
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fWGHm1PxN
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHCsKAUIe2
Angel smiled at Leo. 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIFT7WzGG5
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAWL6vtWkk
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlyICL8BqC
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMO33arZKO
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU00xvWJc1
"I don't believe you."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeFm7UByH7
"You don't have to, Mr 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHutsD5vus
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJhuIFVcl7
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY472XKsm5k
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYBVjKlLR
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXbVK5g9di
"I'll be heading out for849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaiBdyrRuO
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ZZS8yLmS
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k0Gyzesmx
Leo didn't have to 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUltjhlfY0
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifBqiZB4ui
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KW0xOtOFj
her.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN8QuDXjsh
Leo stared at the closed849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJbyUfxm2v
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR1Ig9Y01E
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk160R5PXXO
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VQgothoFZ
utterly disturbed.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4EZ2wtiUD
***849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwQW3vhDg
In849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPoCyKh6Yz
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BYCtBhCvO
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfPVwzQfh5
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVrcJo5z4K
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKEpBso7TV
"Morning," said Amanda.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlPbUYabi
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gq4h4uuCm
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF52PfaOprC
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamIMqDWKCy
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw5KN7qTLb
"And849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXQJJlzPT
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCljUtnZcR
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiLRQyUDyV
"Do I?" Leo asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOCFHxc2CC
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iHAE9zao1
Leo849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43MMq9NX40
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMd9Sw6WCP
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQykAoh9qk
knew the reason too.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLSEZdYkbF
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaLKrfX5ES
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT2t60rznm
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3PmeJAfhv
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00DMa6pzpL
"Lovely."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrQqfhVnKm
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7i7pC7qSU
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBquzQYNmIM
Upon849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUCjjZo8Y
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XoTQ0vgPE
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2A6OENwAS
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGwK54luu
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrxr45iGiD
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoNQUGnYPz
Eric849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEfSozowI
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWshvDbw8
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEHnCW8KUT
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDF3t92gQ3
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpte92bYP7
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAMzc6BII5
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZM2FZoxsr
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVyhAye7K
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgOy8GgwKO
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cZ36dxijL
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT4MmRWihE
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYHVIIjzN
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd5kpVCJzs
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKq1KlmEcF
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HGR97fTQC
Leo849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0kgFAEr4v
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6VF9fo1CK
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk42uwFlxI
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd3Jt4WFQ8
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx3OhsOSud
Angel849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcw5uDCT0k
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs4xwG1Zpk
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLo2sidPgz
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH7uPdGfva
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNp61bUjTS
"I'll849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gKQUzqpN
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8wMKcnLp
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4u26qiK0
"Yes, I would," said Angel.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8mNqYQJ0
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV15McmvfW
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznxOsIHK0W
"Yes, I'm not."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzezarZ2Kc
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZQ3f016D2
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdvAjuEyO
"Yes, I would."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgFEACsRBN
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4dHv2vw4
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaRQmsUICW
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bucwngoYg
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXyNYT919G
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbNQqs1hdA
"Yes."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1TjOcmfku
Leo849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh3ZAvBUVs
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yIdxi1Zz7
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgEv3uGcHW
talking about Angel.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRABpjXt1k
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBLGfEPy9E
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZlPeo7pT
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHsGS47vZ
Before Angel could find 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjquyvFYX1
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSlAHMbzFr
seeing her sister, standing on her own.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBrrAtYvPA
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuqyAzBH9y
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjzRMZlVH
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8buNLzvM
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."849Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xsaFlp2Vw
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
