The phone alarm woke Leo482Please respect copyright.PENANAsvDmvUCtvD
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on482Please respect copyright.PENANAjGZcysuT4U
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 482Please respect copyright.PENANAol1fFTGMfP
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 482Please respect copyright.PENANA1pmZjWJiap
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 482Please respect copyright.PENANA4DBtoQiu1n
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 482Please respect copyright.PENANA1g2X5PsomL
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 482Please respect copyright.PENANA8oIKnDcqSh
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 482Please respect copyright.PENANA3n5luRc26N
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.482Please respect copyright.PENANAYYbKYcSgfK
After taking a shower, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAJVAFvXydgU
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the482Please respect copyright.PENANANNHlnwuKu3
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 482Please respect copyright.PENANA7ITaSNnqs6
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 482Please respect copyright.PENANAwA4RbgqopD
ever. 482Please respect copyright.PENANATAlx9AVQcT
He soon went out of his 482Please respect copyright.PENANAnxkJ2uzsRT
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 482Please respect copyright.PENANAq3nxPWYA5v
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was482Please respect copyright.PENANAB37IAVk5kz
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind482Please respect copyright.PENANAogjt0bNRMV
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 482Please respect copyright.PENANAWt7JqV6q8h
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 482Please respect copyright.PENANA2ixaFQADSL
him.482Please respect copyright.PENANAGxpQh3JOLZ
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 482Please respect copyright.PENANAxExTnIMfMp
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.482Please respect copyright.PENANA5ku90IsXV0
"Don't ruin the mood by 482Please respect copyright.PENANAuZQZEsG7ns
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 482Please respect copyright.PENANA1I2eM511kg
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."482Please respect copyright.PENANASOv3ppNe9j
Leo smiled as he 482Please respect copyright.PENANAvhlwJsXnvj
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 482Please respect copyright.PENANAyxzxqIOVk3
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 482Please respect copyright.PENANASKEvYgcMAt
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.482Please respect copyright.PENANAcEe2RGz3AB
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 482Please respect copyright.PENANATpGVHLNvZt
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 482Please respect copyright.PENANAfQvVh7OTJP
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.482Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSYR5tLCl
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."482Please respect copyright.PENANAJbBICu3tQG
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.482Please respect copyright.PENANAGjH1UXUwQu
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."482Please respect copyright.PENANA0HNwwpUDBb
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAd1YLkurWAV
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhCSl29ddc5
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."482Please respect copyright.PENANAhGMzSmObDU
"She is, actually," said482Please respect copyright.PENANAWeysagcuwW
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 482Please respect copyright.PENANArdgW6WPj4h
anything to you. You have me around."482Please respect copyright.PENANAkIg2caCbkD
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."482Please respect copyright.PENANAQZXtkypNkT
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAPiMyzCN2wQ
Before Carly could say 482Please respect copyright.PENANABvZLDRADHv
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAS3iCmYnemE
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.482Please respect copyright.PENANAB3m8bVOj8B
"What was that?" Leo asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAHgAtZLNrNS
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.482Please respect copyright.PENANAAoFcDtwKEn
Carly got to Angel's 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVPVwKk47ap
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down482Please respect copyright.PENANABkgTUOMw3P
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her482Please respect copyright.PENANAC3CkhtLVb5
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.482Please respect copyright.PENANADzXmh13w8J
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.482Please respect copyright.PENANAjcypj0oG0F
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAITinCkyxF0
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."482Please respect copyright.PENANAZURqiIEfvg
"You know you're not 482Please respect copyright.PENANAjHN6luxmuQ
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking482Please respect copyright.PENANAceTav029em
for help. You never change, Angel."482Please respect copyright.PENANAAX7yqoKKL2
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."482Please respect copyright.PENANAguSEUGPixl
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAwstBisnVwO
"No thanks, I'm fine."482Please respect copyright.PENANAcHVsxyODuP
Angel went on to look at482Please respect copyright.PENANAIII7kKpX1h
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and482Please respect copyright.PENANAaxOdz3FHnQ
then she went on to stare at Carly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAN3I1vqBSoN
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAwHg30MZ8Wp
Carly paused as she 482Please respect copyright.PENANALYiLNQ7Gkv
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister482Please respect copyright.PENANAZkHe0lIR19
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 482Please respect copyright.PENANADK4BOLcaaT
Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANAq7QHYGCH49
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."482Please respect copyright.PENANAYqzH10VRtH
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAYOO4DPYtLg
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 482Please respect copyright.PENANARHHz19wtwX
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 482Please respect copyright.PENANAQY5hVoXmR1
hurt or anything."482Please respect copyright.PENANAVG7xAQZZSn
"May you please drag me 482Please respect copyright.PENANA3F7aQM31c3
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 482Please respect copyright.PENANArpCLwWG2xl
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.482Please respect copyright.PENANAjfW2WqJFDk
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.482Please respect copyright.PENANAGeDxegXiyk
"Just like Carly said, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAhIrLmK2yxm
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 482Please respect copyright.PENANAFTXyr0gSHP
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.482Please respect copyright.PENANAdqIHrNKCKg
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."482Please respect copyright.PENANAVHfDj0d5Ot
The room soon had an 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVNj6VmCVev
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 482Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ5fWAyQeY
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 482Please respect copyright.PENANA8f4v6m1eew
awkwardness.482Please respect copyright.PENANAYhfTop6322
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANA4k46uT32Kl
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."482Please respect copyright.PENANAOb4iP4jzEK
"Sure."482Please respect copyright.PENANAPDZRDh90NJ
Leo stared at Carly 482Please respect copyright.PENANAhxljkGpkwy
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 482Please respect copyright.PENANAEsfSRWzptx
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 482Please respect copyright.PENANAwN78ZJQy8a
avoid any more problems.482Please respect copyright.PENANAeac5ZNpxaY
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.482Please respect copyright.PENANA2RBOPvvG1L
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.482Please respect copyright.PENANAbSu6Lg6cZi
"Tea would be lovely, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAkhGLNAmTfp
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 482Please respect copyright.PENANALB14XykE4E
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 482Please respect copyright.PENANA4evf7D55nY
could have helped you."482Please respect copyright.PENANA6xWGE4UagG
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmEorRdkTIu
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."482Please respect copyright.PENANAUdj0VHR4Ny
Carly gladly smiled at 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVlFG8zkFda
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 482Please respect copyright.PENANAo5MIa014gA
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 482Please respect copyright.PENANAN5NZIbSAuU
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 482Please respect copyright.PENANAHqrHxYIN5R
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?482Please respect copyright.PENANADhS8A7EB6P
And Leo? It was strange 482Please respect copyright.PENANAFEJ3FZ2LFz
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 482Please respect copyright.PENANAtzBTHBAWzn
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 482Please respect copyright.PENANAXKBO9vAydZ
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.482Please respect copyright.PENANAQKP4Usawon
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.482Please respect copyright.PENANA1LozGYnLeX
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAd80A9xOeVx
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.482Please respect copyright.PENANAAIKmFOhUHh
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAcilhD2r6B0
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."482Please respect copyright.PENANALW6rOp7e1G
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"482Please respect copyright.PENANA8nJHM6Dcy9
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."482Please respect copyright.PENANAqMvrHOxWL5
While Amanda and Angel 482Please respect copyright.PENANA5CVGtXsSDj
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVUSCSAxcou
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared482Please respect copyright.PENANAMQUaUmKXaV
at the door.482Please respect copyright.PENANApIBFaej2Fy
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.482Please respect copyright.PENANAiMXGoveLNv
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."482Please respect copyright.PENANAbdvUl9gjZw
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."482Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ORSCAUCQ
"No, she didn't." Carly 482Please respect copyright.PENANAoh2t8vwwul
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 482Please respect copyright.PENANAuv09pVzaTx
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 482Please respect copyright.PENANA0DHfwwFhDu
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 482Please respect copyright.PENANA8a6t0gnruQ
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."482Please respect copyright.PENANAvuBvBFjrAX
"I don't care about 482Please respect copyright.PENANA2gh33bNC2R
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from482Please respect copyright.PENANAohdKegsuh2
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 482Please respect copyright.PENANA9r9d326Olw
are real."482Please respect copyright.PENANA5MNF0rdxi1
Carly smiled and she 482Please respect copyright.PENANAPeqJ3ubOVi
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 482Please respect copyright.PENANAmc2ZofXrQA
that she didn't want him to let her go.482Please respect copyright.PENANAIXHbaVqpxT
She quickly turned 482Please respect copyright.PENANAAexPgigdFQ
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAtUpDq0Kzq3
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 482Please respect copyright.PENANA21UckevYSv
They would freak out."482Please respect copyright.PENANAjOmMjb2nMB
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.482Please respect copyright.PENANA47LYWePvwJ
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."482Please respect copyright.PENANAFlCMNWXnWQ
Leo continued to look 482Please respect copyright.PENANAetgJ9TLTz1
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAhs6dZEFem3
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.482Please respect copyright.PENANA3qSm0myL2N
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."482Please respect copyright.PENANANyTbDzACbp
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"482Please respect copyright.PENANASK8jmNXsSu
"What's going on here?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAuuq7tiDbno
Leo and Carly almost 482Please respect copyright.PENANAJpAamIakmE
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a482Please respect copyright.PENANAXagRHeqffj
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with482Please respect copyright.PENANAr87ynJQta2
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.482Please respect copyright.PENANAVmPIAtyatn
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"482Please respect copyright.PENANANQiShyDWk7
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."482Please respect copyright.PENANAYk80UgKFw7
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.482Please respect copyright.PENANA7FtsAeVyiv
"For Amanda and Angel."482Please respect copyright.PENANAy8RrSIWxNQ
"They are both awake?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAq5zvLmmbQt
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."482Please respect copyright.PENANAXniEqN9UDM
Mrs McDonell looked at 482Please respect copyright.PENANAJf3N9r8qtr
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVNqKG1RYTg
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 482Please respect copyright.PENANAysAV8zCdzC
off.482Please respect copyright.PENANAJIGSjdxliQ
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.482Please respect copyright.PENANAIXHStw8EH2
Carly took the tray 482Please respect copyright.PENANAMSAs1WbNEt
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAFi9b2sLAxD
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 482Please respect copyright.PENANAC6RNORFl4g
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAcTm9oiaFz9
corner.482Please respect copyright.PENANAYr6bPBMhTx
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."482Please respect copyright.PENANAaA2Bb5FC0U
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.482Please respect copyright.PENANAnOxae9Bihi
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."482Please respect copyright.PENANAtWdBIiz1Rq
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."482Please respect copyright.PENANAaksmzHksxd
Leo made his way to the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAODw2V586aZ
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 482Please respect copyright.PENANAwzLM0saMeX
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0bg8mGAFm3
By seven, almost 482Please respect copyright.PENANALclMrrNV2K
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 482Please respect copyright.PENANA2a7yOsk904
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 482Please respect copyright.PENANA3DPYcal3Mq
the lovely smell was intoxicating.482Please respect copyright.PENANArBp5s7Dwoy
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"482Please respect copyright.PENANAdR09Vr53Ud
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 482Please respect copyright.PENANA1RZHpJeBQd
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 482Please respect copyright.PENANAdSFwyTTFPq
time to go to school.482Please respect copyright.PENANAryGKE0ngud
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.482Please respect copyright.PENANApco6UJuFN9
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"482Please respect copyright.PENANA5YMNQ1dcoh
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."482Please respect copyright.PENANAvNSOj6fobw
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.482Please respect copyright.PENANANyDDalYfzT
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.482Please respect copyright.PENANAChY2rV380a
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.482Please respect copyright.PENANAezvmppLHW8
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANAfFJyRqI9WZ
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAWcnCMRrCbB
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."482Please respect copyright.PENANAbXlYVqvdML
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.482Please respect copyright.PENANAxmZw0n6HWJ
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAWkX2RnfIUs
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and482Please respect copyright.PENANApdxb4oJPoa
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 482Please respect copyright.PENANAPPCZwTCLP0
them.482Please respect copyright.PENANA0W7G0PUi03
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.482Please respect copyright.PENANAo29S3RidZH
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.482Please respect copyright.PENANA10fsBYD4xJ
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."482Please respect copyright.PENANA6lmOmbsdX2
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANA096I9BFfmb
"Right," Leo replied.482Please respect copyright.PENANAoqt10YbemW
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.482Please respect copyright.PENANAInUpr0hoOR
Just as they were about 482Please respect copyright.PENANAy0M7CAJpAN
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 482Please respect copyright.PENANARIKS0q3GLZ
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 482Please respect copyright.PENANAyITljQmQnV
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.482Please respect copyright.PENANAz0gpZpwTEA
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.482Please respect copyright.PENANAzrLZbJYwE8
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.482Please respect copyright.PENANANYmQy35AY6
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."482Please respect copyright.PENANAOo9wmn8cGa
Before Leo could reply 482Please respect copyright.PENANAfI23f68EaJ
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 482Please respect copyright.PENANAQhz4hFS2v4
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 482Please respect copyright.PENANAQOszTgxsTq
looked away feeling irritated.482Please respect copyright.PENANAYhlk3DZRdb
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANA8dkQsuFI8A
Everyone else on the 482Please respect copyright.PENANA3IN5jtpD9k
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 482Please respect copyright.PENANAwIF9oIXAHH
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAmv5850hPOK
except Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANAw9GlxxZsJf
"This is just lovely," 482Please respect copyright.PENANAV39nvTM2Ig
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 482Please respect copyright.PENANAASEzIMx5xb
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 482Please respect copyright.PENANAQUwmFqxRBA
really early."482Please respect copyright.PENANABArBTQSOkD
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."482Please respect copyright.PENANAe9adOrKMpG
"Your wife isn't here, 482Please respect copyright.PENANAwJTlMo51VL
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 482Please respect copyright.PENANAsOKTZ6kvHQ
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."482Please respect copyright.PENANAbdMPJYUVkS
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.482Please respect copyright.PENANAu6JvgbNYJP
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.482Please respect copyright.PENANA098KwepdMx
Angel almost spelt the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAlvPWVGgDdx
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.482Please respect copyright.PENANAcGGfWOdv21
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other482Please respect copyright.PENANASxuEkuw0JV
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 482Please respect copyright.PENANAen4A4O8jL4
just ran a hand through his hair.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmBnFJGbnsA
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.482Please respect copyright.PENANARn6Ct3IiwW
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.482Please respect copyright.PENANAUyDAUd0F0w
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."482Please respect copyright.PENANA3qTUNGUd4b
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.482Please respect copyright.PENANAD21x34qeOZ
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."482Please respect copyright.PENANADpxfnbAiBh
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."482Please respect copyright.PENANASW9AuS4I10
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.482Please respect copyright.PENANACYApQ8Qa4r
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.482Please respect copyright.PENANAFZYQPk4m8v
"Have to go to school," he said.482Please respect copyright.PENANAFIBqEYK8Iq
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.482Please respect copyright.PENANA9bSs5ob5J3
Oliver came round the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAuOEUygusuL
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 482Please respect copyright.PENANAHV0ITjG42l
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 482Please respect copyright.PENANAf7mwo9H2o4
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 482Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5ODiaCANo
ears.482Please respect copyright.PENANANjouPtwT48
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.482Please respect copyright.PENANAarrS1eC3u4
"So adorable," said Carly.482Please respect copyright.PENANAFhn0nfxZZ7
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.482Please respect copyright.PENANAJYDLAV7HJZ
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."482Please respect copyright.PENANAIZwvsqh9Ec
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."482Please respect copyright.PENANAwEOppsS7cR
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."482Please respect copyright.PENANAhwmecB9Ln8
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAeZCP7OZ3l0
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.482Please respect copyright.PENANAWqCfBOl5VO
"Well, I do."482Please respect copyright.PENANArtlzdyYcLQ
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."482Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Q4v65dUh
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.482Please respect copyright.PENANAapk3gQzOHM
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."482Please respect copyright.PENANAmr7EzZnsiv
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.482Please respect copyright.PENANAhZiC35QV7j
"I'll find you in the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAI454pbJMH2
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 482Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ktoCEFoI
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.482Please respect copyright.PENANAwIfhA6ohiJ
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.482Please respect copyright.PENANAILYaP8Grgp
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.482Please respect copyright.PENANAV5UxxgAqmC
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."482Please respect copyright.PENANAfymKtbuSuO
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."482Please respect copyright.PENANA5McHM6lkwU
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.482Please respect copyright.PENANAewtjjQtSwY
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.482Please respect copyright.PENANAdfQRjkXc7J
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.482Please respect copyright.PENANAJyFfP6I1c7
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.482Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ll2mqVq43
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"482Please respect copyright.PENANADCR4LTersn
Before Carly could 482Please respect copyright.PENANAfvEb0cul2D
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 482Please respect copyright.PENANAKxNmjRl2bd
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 482Please respect copyright.PENANAyxyklxFhV9
interested about what her sister was up to.482Please respect copyright.PENANAHa1kH2NHrq
"I'll join you," said 482Please respect copyright.PENANA5lIhK1hYUz
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures482Please respect copyright.PENANAcuvHwntoXa
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."482Please respect copyright.PENANA9XUJJ3eNiY
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."482Please respect copyright.PENANACElD9rczJx
"I'll go get ready," 482Please respect copyright.PENANAgcEDvirCxd
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 482Please respect copyright.PENANAM047penZpn
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 482Please respect copyright.PENANAFFxh8b46Ng
times.482Please respect copyright.PENANADMVGch5ta4
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.482Please respect copyright.PENANAJgD9G6sROT
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.482Please respect copyright.PENANARWPxkKcTzx
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."482Please respect copyright.PENANA8US3seJsNH
The last thing Leo 482Please respect copyright.PENANApWNHhKUWMs
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVR0uRrLF67
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.482Please respect copyright.PENANAFUOvK2nfSg
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.482Please respect copyright.PENANAvlDRjB5TSi
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."482Please respect copyright.PENANABMfWjLfOQl
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.482Please respect copyright.PENANAn6fOrafnVB
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.482Please respect copyright.PENANAXGkZKtheK5
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."482Please respect copyright.PENANAXd9qobMBOI
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.482Please respect copyright.PENANAmczBHhXpsi
"Yes. It's really 482Please respect copyright.PENANAVEOUonTHg4
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk482Please respect copyright.PENANAfoBwwa1dhq
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 482Please respect copyright.PENANAAzcrsPJWCK
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 482Please respect copyright.PENANAkSyt1bskDP
since I'm so old."482Please respect copyright.PENANAv0un2v9jws
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.482Please respect copyright.PENANAK3tb3if2u3
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.482Please respect copyright.PENANAui8IfImDiK
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"482Please respect copyright.PENANAOlqgswXfVj
Leo sighed. He looked 482Please respect copyright.PENANAtDTVXqxORU
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife482Please respect copyright.PENANAkLTbjZtcJx
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 482Please respect copyright.PENANAnntaG2kCED
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.482Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vub6UuIa4
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."482Please respect copyright.PENANAYeORBbuJr2
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
