"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM9OT6K3L2
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sJO2uD5m2
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdjFxE1rHs
"What's up with you, 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOXuBF4bO9
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMRW7jwNkN
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZmXwWXCcH
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvHNFipO3G
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXfOXGSQ7j
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO84DujA8g
"And you have to make a 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YH72eKkTh
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51a4MJT5i0
guests in the house so mind your manners."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPoK9BAkD
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz9pi0fAu4
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMQBJhTx5
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt5w89rOWn
"What? Those girls are here?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDmyDlIJEO
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQNPyF2cau
Mrs McDonell nodded her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zZ5oX70An
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKbNX2s6te
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dp5Fzbj6U
her face was totally hard to read.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dx7zi9fiQ
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CGfY4Shii
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD607GXZPy
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUBxI2PCWd
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKlon6mGMg
"May you two please have909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXX7XiEcDK
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1yFWBGZSM
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvtMJsQBz
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB1HOFuW0Y
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZHjrwfoO
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUHMGDbS9N
"You really know how to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88OZRDDDbG
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42WRbVYn5Z
you just want to leave them out on the street?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8pX6WMYet
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefGZVUVwbb
"What's wrong with them 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfhnaqSjb7
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpuA2GCzX3
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8oMll2nXt
accident."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ998zsLKle9
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82OJ3fwVv
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexWGuyaeU8
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72DQUbpVKT
Mrs McDonell soon turned909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8LBAZKX1n
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb3ADSdxos
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5gjLqahII
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKK4PYYeXV
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS1478QBY5
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCJ1zYFUYH
"It's so good to finally meet you."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6zQ5MxMlB
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSQkb36GF
Angel held up her hand 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7UgMEghV9
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJrVISHgim
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Eoz3nFMb
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISs6BSICS
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtewxfNiZMT
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5oMvZv6Q
McDonell. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8J1G5Fg3k
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy4nU9nBgZ
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuvPbfT6G0
"Looks like you already 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ044VGgwSJ8
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzFEC65w7P
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbzmltMPT9
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliL7SM0Bbe
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJXSXWuzQc
"Now that the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbDQBVQzTD
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCum7vlaEK
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21BHvYjug
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0KoCbkIvL
guest rooms downstairs."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbmfVMHw80
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtNRP4GJZ2
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1IbYv7pa
Angel just smiled at 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROEGdSRWDE
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IJBK6ocq6
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJs41t5QkI
it.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhOJsbwd68
A few seconds later, 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67dSsYXEED
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdrbpRbV6l
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxVf6zaD7o
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NXsg5qp0s
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyqfy6BBu7
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckPmWG81PQ
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYFglt2yh
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZKcqB4cFn
Mrs McDonell turned to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnnEkfUNSn
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD1JcLbZh2
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6bjrgmZpt
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WvfGrRc5t
***909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRozhn1mrQ
It909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIc3Hyldmc
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSfRrCtOMK
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DfCkbQQzR
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw2XqJumGU
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYmaEf3xIb
909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb2NbKlSAv
She909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CPGw2H7ad
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1wZHqOFnX
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrL0VnDZ2q
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Vu8hl0Pa
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpYr9qL4gk
No909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxVTUwk9pS
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0ptH7ryh
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubWKCrXxJy
Leo.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QzlAMdL3h
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCzTiTjtKi
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUEFOCfCvI
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUIm7aJdzF
unclenched her fists time and time again.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYCl2YCtVz
While909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wyo0NAn8
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJcgTH6bNP
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t73BNvnl4
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtsgAPdtVk
eyes.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF52idnTDBd
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8esee4Khr
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHbHtd2EmL
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QEBDk3wz0
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYuXHTopI6
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtXGn8lb5u
Angel909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwJqHmC8PY
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR407hwvVJ
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9BALkSyFO
brother."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbPCnUvGcN
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2tsWYhib
"Mambo-jumbo?909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLnYO7ggsv
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7koTsSSZY
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauEl3fGAoh
pretty as Angel here."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC16jgUXzu
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPK1eMnsxE
Oliver909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FSb2ofiyk
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYrhmZhGvD
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe96d5IEkTO
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mp2jWtrE6
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBm9Fr9ZjK
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR827Aanmwp
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KW8hhG98a
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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNMjCUvKPW
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwEYnk4KVE
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYsY0DMUSX
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOShRRKmXV3
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8zd0AH1bi
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoYGquIYi
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uD48hvP38
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX4oJR3pId
"Well,909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeqdFPWCCf
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VsYOZHZnv
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgPKNbseJR
Amanda909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmeXPIB0C0
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4lpe3vL2j
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5233w3AIgB
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyU7twH5dl
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeglHKwQzFM
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN77nK7P9XR
"You909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38liAZQqe
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5DF9vzPLI
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE4CtWaxoJ
that no one knows what really happened that day."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HSGuYqVMb
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaIxwmgtA7
Eric909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWzhFZ9n0J
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi75TLaswP
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMS5ehHcKY
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa54le0ftob
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZMVdxpzOD
her and not the other way around.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3v6cEsJ72
***909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3sB3SwHYv
Carly909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYOhaPB5bd
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFtCfVTZ2Y
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLSEtXfT1v
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQQAcUnSeM
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c0p3FEVZX
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXoahKy7g
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNXAxorhge
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbE1Mjk3qP
Carly's909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4wyVYyGq9
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIJAnBwp7J
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHepDUYAyw
because of how her sister would react.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnDJjdfjTz
Diana909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGD3JusOn
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNlU1qomEn
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYkIgjsV4R
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahP0Q8GdQD
earlier. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfmdGVXgu
Diana909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuRIayNRc
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuBEMc0HWZ
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a7AH7UdHM
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaXqnfByTX
she tried to hide her urge.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSUpTih4ki
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkRuZkmsN7
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MLoKE3yel
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXeUbpDea
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsqr0PpEvI
"Guests?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNupsbeqBl
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbau6MSoT5j
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaR5YK9RYd
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyPeblHruU
Carly909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzwPO6ujmp
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1mTllw5dg
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTML28bv2X
Angel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0341NEuiLL
"Leo,909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkzZcppty2
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vBepcpm4b
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcEtgyEmXO
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnQJkRXPGL
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrBlMgtKa7
Leo909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5OiiqMi9t
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuy94IJAmO
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W51TaDYNO
"I'm909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKVKLY2bt
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lyaLpEiY1
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSvo2jepNU
Leo909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFDoLDOigC
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sjwEJm6s
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUokwLy5C
it's own.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoyRYQG39h
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCncO7e6SJy
Leo909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzelZ6RWXj
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr39iukWsy
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOYIwGNcmw
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUiPi7Cgz3
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyutfzwZkcX
being here in the McDonell household.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv6mzEjt0T
When909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyPLaFcINg
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7nGXjAqSr
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre01n12VFC
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvErCSO5LED
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JprxaLZxq
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEgxh10Wnh
than they thought.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yQPdpoPF
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmDZmER7RL
"I....eh...,"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdUYpbLgl7
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcsH2TsaPf
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETpYyBkGbt
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxgwHfJ8y
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ybelTi0cw
the minute.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2o3SSi3yt
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ShHoqXzKM
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCklQ1m5Lq
"Never better."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFfR9eI7wS
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRVfAzBZzS
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeoixNVsaC
"Sure909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJj3GwqHg
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyieOulSiE
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7F3nZCJB
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RS27nAFYW
nothing but silence between them.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vv3HyoQQW
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Tj3z85xr
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGUWqQqUtj
"Okay."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaTNmvlpq
Carly909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuM6FjxN7r
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy1dU9IWS9
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMUFJLsqod
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmBJ2WF9u
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk6MlTlzYB
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwPuKKLJYn
holding her hand.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn19PmRY8t
While909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsERMxcz10
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACJbY24twV
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8iMqxtp63
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ET0tQNKHa
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1pugAiFY
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OC6e0DLIH
When909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMa8uA9Ze
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrWWMlVfZ7
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Udhocw0c
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ZmiyLPvr
a living nightmare.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3KJXilLZH
He909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNQ3z7k4WM
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQols0wUTK
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx4A68FmWz
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZItJs92c13
accident and he had never apologised for it.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseeUuuB2xJ
He909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMZ4vAkhUJ
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCuJXmiqIL
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nrOlL6pIg
definitely kill him.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfhQF9SSGm
