"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVUn1ehhNl
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuc0rR7jUa
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwazT6cz37d
"What's up with you, 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFABdH9EEQ
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJySFhuHw
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzqe94NX3N
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsoceK4dNX
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDnHffEZq
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mOFXpmEsx
"And you have to make a 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZEVK6SN7D
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPXCWhVAfL
guests in the house so mind your manners."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRPfaVT3zd
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavYyKcGejT
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsAUJkBVxY
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLDCrMN1oT
"What? Those girls are here?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs5q2KSPmE
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobkufwSpNn
Mrs McDonell nodded her 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jNV9QrXed
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKBSBqoxA
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaEACv9q4S
her face was totally hard to read.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkKhQtAldo
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxiprJv4Ti
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPRwcBZ7s
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM6xUcQbw3
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XgQVXdz8G
"May you two please have589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ150cIZei6i
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDXovLEn0s
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztiN1gxuGr
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61W5xAVP5o
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzicLCa249C
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEWu5CXOCr
"You really know how to 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3G0CNDpMT
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c8FtTDT2Y
you just want to leave them out on the street?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuIxKExVEQ
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4bLiYJDbg
"What's wrong with them 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTIG7NC2RE
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAobR0K122N
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0YZ2DFPbY
accident."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbRSic2AIL
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKpTojJzZ3
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKcTph1mtB
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyX003Ohor
Mrs McDonell soon turned589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqumKWaOZY
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm9ZGgf3HN
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoap6J0nacS
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rkiKU1IQB
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKfwetElzL
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGTGSNGOQ
"It's so good to finally meet you."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYX9gaZvHr
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjL6KpWsn8
Angel held up her hand 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQBySqdXN
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4vaEqxhqY
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnDR6oc0ws
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV95RgK3bE
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq902KaoE4
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqj1Cxyigo
McDonell. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OCUwOGH2j
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukou3kDnSJ
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF3duVIbGN
"Looks like you already 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2A0oqPqDe
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiXPKviEO9
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ILM41qmrk
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUcKMdqgR
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUj4nQleTb
"Now that the 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdl04f3Tk4
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcZ9tar7x
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBSfpaZk3l
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBMVXVCtZ6
guest rooms downstairs."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHnXGfo3SU
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEAkRYpVJk
"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."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjmI0RO11w
Angel just smiled at 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKIJedclar
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNLcdHZK3e
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfy8V20mbZ
it.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMi4t9V04E
A few seconds later, 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkE2VtDvZv
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XTbEC8WoJ
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3umKRVCpky
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10cnmRGqQH
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2IBBMTIOu
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1LIPPiw3h
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPDOePRqM6
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO507OXfDIJ
Mrs McDonell turned to 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJza6lpjttq
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRmXRCmr13
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5v1k7nhy0
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvisbYgoOU
***589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjy0JVkMbu
It589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWyjzZ0f8o
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUhyzPMixI
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiz3m1H6Ke
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsZVXtnxyf
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEqGyhUgZU
589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5xCe0A6KF
She589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMxslfT5qX
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7pOWbNC8U
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡles7maN9ya
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8NpKrgikw
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7Yo0AAnB
No589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnJoR2o6uB
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ1stcjRMj
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegJbVOnUpy
Leo.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIQLpRSdhE
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pTN1OOne
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88O7sBuQYI
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ggZcUBcCu
unclenched her fists time and time again.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoCAqk7giB
While589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohqFRaT1dw
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOgxF6zpb
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaS7Q7qa4X
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFSUncFl5u
eyes.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNEmzqXmxS
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg5W2Tjnum
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQXUWIhL4E
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufp4opiPU5
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ehCuV6jmr
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YxlLbUKqV
Angel589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B9z9i3wGt
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm6PsJiB6i
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaHCmrw9RU
brother."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj8ayyyq7q
"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."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp01G157zMt
"Mambo-jumbo?589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2SIlWpkk3
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbP6umm4i1
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7FdWJ2jF
pretty as Angel here."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcl3zwgdyj
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZcO7zhHy
Oliver589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm5F4kZMt2
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2s57QDDTr
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OPoBIPhCQ
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfQ1vYyLDa
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvUZcB8R4B
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQp5y5Kti
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrp7xLcczx
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.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAEQc98dLi
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzYjnD0KBt
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI1QfgCPW1
"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."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV8X4T18F9
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpedAVcUSr
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh0fnTCMoe
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mwp252l8P
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGav2QYB6M
"Well,589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq1OSWoSIF
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sxsYWEMKV
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y1D09OatP
Amanda589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7czv0B4H8a
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbBm0IBX9O
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuxMleLzP0
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0lBO6AiSX
"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."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRqD4Gik9N
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X8V2BAkPM
"You589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQJ8rjE7V
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdV1Je6U94
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlM1HrwoPA
that no one knows what really happened that day."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUETPGLGnTN
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPv3ThHCf
Eric589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNUF26kgME
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f7T3LXkKA
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKsVFpjZZ9
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZyOmviAWM
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtutYRGO0
her and not the other way around.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouJm72pIB
***589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6tM8WcQeq
Carly589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVg8h5ucCg

with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRkHvoMCxC
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMRbgjb30X
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHwdquZTLZ
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsndAAD9Gq
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5CMiv4gz
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ewyAyeYD
Carly's589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5LhisJQw2
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiEgpWXBJU
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnSLPYoyR6
because of how her sister would react.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVlECD3Ml
Diana589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1JBO0qLUg
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpIupzUupg
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6JuLZXwd7
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA5t6tCZEH
earlier. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcWLLQAQi6
Diana589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGOT4WpYIA
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HOtZQHW2v
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA03tGk1mtB
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaaKKyS3nS
she tried to hide her urge.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn7MVccokL
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY4aTdLV7Q
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagdaJ232BK
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNlhcZvxOU
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW9Oph86IV
"Guests?"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l2T6K7suj
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvl0eyIneW
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXskKEurHO
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP8wtXj5PJ
Carly589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdojHYy0QE
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNert6plJG
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB09E2OYbO9
Angel.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF9uoqyFzY
"Leo,589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFoOYAySUa
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWO3NEyzC8
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKCE7dMMsN
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmgcSX10cJ
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6LVgLA4Yx
Leo589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvg1d2RDt
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNqua8xPaA
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytqMQEHxli
"I'm589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsSVfxRPnU
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjfvCty242
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Py5zptYtq
Leo589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhbe8DuJEZ
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhKWBZ4Tkv
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ama8ZUvvJ
it's own.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQ0PlEpnh
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuSK9SOzB5
Leo589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaw5FvzYfS
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5BuVBcFMr
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uEm39r4xE
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBpVrixdqK
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KJvqiAsvL
being here in the McDonell household.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn20o3HFRY6
When589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7h4G9cHfh
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLxuDCvrAS
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgFqIFK3Zj
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBpZf98f1n
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpvMGETtOU
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntWj0vewaF
than they thought.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ZBW5LjYk
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTbqSH1aPM
"I....eh...,"589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KGBxqCssX
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzKXOy7Cb2
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuVuYwQF4W
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjKfA1tG5O
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oqWHk5mJy
the minute.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTpr36zhhq
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYEK5HcwCP
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM96Dlczlkh
"Never better."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzxkYHTWbz
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cSB7XePtK
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0VRYdyQ96
"Sure589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnkO4hVQ1Z
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0TjJ95Us5
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpwwkPczU3
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68a9kkfOI
nothing but silence between them.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHOKDHf7J9
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nwzXc9JT
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aYBJs3u90
"Okay."589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpz9j4ddh
Carly589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh1ioRms0C
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5bmusWcSn
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wtCJ6HZcM
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODcn3DipWX
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcYNu8Np8o
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqvyTxxGSm
holding her hand.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmDSj9l42A
While589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTufCd7PfVE
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpwrKtltZJ
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YeT5iBCk6
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabYKgTsub
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XrTb9ZzGA
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwMxA8m0NU
When589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECCz5yBNj
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlASF1oKcpY
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlxyeq6LsN
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWDEsjli5w
a living nightmare.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZnvWLVQ4W
He589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUgjmuRr21
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9gd4u7CtW
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3NIAusZsq
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tIdjqM8fv
accident and he had never apologised for it.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwV3vGJFA
He589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapf2KckiL9
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllniqdssrb
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MRs3d9EiN
definitely kill him.589Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgYIFUYJEV
