Leo had a smile on his 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoXCK28YTN
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA0DHVQAxx
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYaVYx7x1
face right in front of him.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVe0u2lai
It was morning and the 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yyiLnhYxC
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi05AVXT7a
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZv8jCgZX
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMeS5Vq7jU
brilliantly in the morning sun.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1vvlIua8
Carly had joined him 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiqHjDPNL6
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoe90JYlYW
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqHekSeNoO
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI895etasN
birds, of course.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjw4TWic0w
It was good she came, 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU5tAzx8Zm
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVegeFJjQ
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Ux4ms2bK
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xaEkUTljs
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmrA9tki6F
He stretched his hand 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa1bdLNd3B
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9bQQh3OX
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOS1FISBls
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEj1NImFR
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6dxZqSO0Q
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW1Vl7exo2
She didn't respond as 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgQ7EBKtzx
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVIjwC6rnV
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFX3jpti1A
himself. Leo chuckled.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJUnaHPvHW
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDP7AYlnO
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMI9oLCd0X
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.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZUOxVx0mz
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKXyx5QSeV
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX19N5Lwyq4
"You're right. But I 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHCDwMzG8L
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h3VaVda7x
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRMxrnAg9H
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy38iGTbzhA
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLLtz0OKcx
They both got out of bed903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6xWG5FJmr
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw5Lkbkead
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr67RFluuq
way to Carly's.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQhgVyVBVg
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktfiN9ZWUT
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Awv0dM6jO
Carly gave him a simple 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IsGjgqjnJ
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVOsIoiIeS
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9bICa4As3
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDBywTElEE
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rF2xgaj7a
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OV1QrQa1U
He made his way 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdDCpOAli3
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfWVhPfBQk
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6n6bxIptQ
kitchen.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1wRR35KWy
He wondered who could be903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgAMapU5s
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVDmuTsswB
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywEHPn8Dhr
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DfatU8LxT
little.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1pKDeEDF9
Angel was standing by 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8YmSOq59o
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb4FsevZP4
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lXbBZYa0W
thing that shook him the moment he got there.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPbEtSjcz6
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpdYTUmr9d
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0izHyCINh
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav3ypIDf44
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8CLfPwu22
"I just had to."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtAzJzq71T
"Ummm," Leo still 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlw0tEBRe
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVULEOi4UZA
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlekJvYQKL
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Le59OelUo
The coffee maker soon 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmHgJJRCRC
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOditRHOF7
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX5wKE9SLu
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPKWl2BdW7
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuTfmoqivs
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0f7VtuwqW
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7qKT571g
"Why? You wanted me 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCN4YHQySR
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN78xAWnVl
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt5aJ4zTtC
a cup.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH4IVkwxIX
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm1JI1qpcz
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxxEI4Xd2
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbBnm9WfM
"You still don't seem 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfeC9QfMek
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfZtjOrhqT
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAI0fbf0u6
things."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtjVdrryI9
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDkN1jKoBD
Angel took a sip of her 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiMME23z8j
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AS5686UM8
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQDComVCPl
spent her night with you."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSpijLB4Y
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXEXFnnQO3
Angel smirked and Leo 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUzrt37XTC
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaP84HK1vk
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5A3EELekH
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv11YcP4R5K
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iSz9Eb3Kl
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tY8xcq3zc
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkpfzcD2g
"You're right, Leo. It's903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ICZ7lGSPd
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaTtjVhsJh
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYd55aKT9Y
have any control over."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68h8ASddAP
Leo was a little shocked903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LxWx09FsP
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1rKQDUrbD
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFUS4RBmwr
game?903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf20PzaxaAL
She slowly made her way 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROYDXkxsHF
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4CN9lbf6h
look at her and something came up in his mind.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OtaGBTgWt
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bvyzm8aot
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvnQvJ2Yvd
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFWr57j8K9
"The time you came into 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6y2GMjI1
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rrvL8EFHf
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaerSSpwdFL
Angel smiled at Leo. 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT2xqcnWeN
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUYHt4a9m
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKy0hMZzM3
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8E4F3yJ85
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpLfbvpyv
"I don't believe you."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gj8xCBKCX
"You don't have to, Mr 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkinOBnCJmG
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlAd1z76SN
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoq27NQuwW
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwm0jmh7c
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCII8FOOPU
"I'll be heading out for903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qEHEqv5hu
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUTCBKxdnD
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCsFOOdumZ
Leo didn't have to 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NIqIsv3md
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsyJ92L8qG
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFdM7k8SUB
her.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgj9QoyIP
Leo stared at the closed903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPdWfabfem
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkm0hII2a6
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAtN92asp
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPusVgdN1aF
utterly disturbed.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADPTYKkOSz
***903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2AqEX3kOg
In903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4GmeMf7oo
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOVW9uUdq
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0tNTuzIAg
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT7Dbam773
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8gvLSCOr
"Morning," said Amanda.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdTWXi5phA
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC634hK7GqQ
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsldU0n8II
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8pLMcNYKI
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS07g3DJq8N
"And903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ8CXozrUz
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUcBsaoVD
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ojyvhe1Y6
"Do I?" Leo asked.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMftg1dhzK
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjTsv3cvnj
Leo903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBSw7hDN0
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FfIzJSj7l
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24nREvv9w1
knew the reason too.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEirDHoyHn
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IuIGQrj2T
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJkHqLxV4p
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8hl1Boj3W
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifwNjiVUT
"Lovely."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5G8HW2lM
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a0MqAqpzT
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmUcjIKZII
Upon903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5UoilSh54
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRtv1BPcyI
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZJ5u4xec
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4mbEFowoF
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdrHo19B4b
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHO1FFejOw
Eric903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxgstwNbuc
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCjf6tQWKz
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyw8X4XxNp
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmHvDZ9suK
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04G5y8l76P
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2mgrk3lZ0
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqX1yXMBQ5
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQn5bgiEia
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC6KRAk9Sd
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jGpE7Ewmq
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrjf50h8lz
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyIouFdn5Z
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGZpQVUxyl
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL15ieLx5L2
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9CxskUI8X
Leo903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNVrnh4N13
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2hNSV8Vf
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VtxhGci9l
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh5gIvRymo
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTSlH3viJc
Angel903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r0DLmzuHy
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBO5IOF98d
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllZOOwYSst
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1vgW89vP
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiZAZKZMcF
"I'll903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlUXy9IL8b
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSndedasAH
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaL0Aq3Rvf
"Yes, I would," said Angel.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3NLclXmt
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI80j4Q4M52
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEEn8Ye86c
"Yes, I'm not."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzJu2uEk5y
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFW7YYjFJ8
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQatz5aiRi
"Yes, I would."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaemVeOH32S
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4WquXHBI4
"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."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0XkrBE5nn
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs29iLLVoFt
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WRsh8kug7
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZGXnVEw5
"Yes."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aT2SfA2TF
Leo903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8K5ntrbeC
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQXIOLPzdh
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedfUZHDu06
talking about Angel.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjC3ShdMqo
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.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMWMkxyCFu
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj89VZ3AwDh
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EJXLal4et
Before Angel could find 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK59xSOPnjo
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRzRK8y6QX
seeing her sister, standing on her own.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY6cyppPH1
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwED1o5fnb3
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDn5T6A1P
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi9WzdN7FR
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV5GiLmiUL
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
