The phone alarm woke Leo635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFDTxGOnV
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gr6c4cVc6
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUuy3nHKhE
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfODdz1539a
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zGPOxEfUp
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbnO46kocg
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScdddJklzq
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjW03j6NiZ
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFWRawc86r
After taking a shower, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTxjUdqBa
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHRkHpmvBN
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIGg8GFULQ
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OEYfKbxXV
ever. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc8WXyWJOP
He soon went out of his 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44sbNaXujS
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvquGJVogH
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrIMx35gBi
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU7X8cn3yn
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMRi2lMmvo
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60sJAyZiO
him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt8NuMilbK
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsl5ZYrBGS
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtS43ZlBB8
"Don't ruin the mood by 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7o81nOLwy
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKDZk6lGdu
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u1wEV4UMj
Leo smiled as he 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8zZPkSM4e
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhhpdqtEgs
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZp8jCmQqm
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdjNuK2Bq
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdRLKNoHMJ
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYHdVyiZbg
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ntMzocAx
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuONV5AHho1
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUPptEb7Sa
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdGYclQLOz
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpXB2mHy9Q
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fSxnMj7LR
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZCk391fcD
"She is, actually," said635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MEcWrv2ea
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ8bvZBDFk
anything to you. You have me around."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW567zZ2Jm
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXMRstwQP
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfyaQwsx5
Before Carly could say 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV0ffeHS4X
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Ts1VDIYt
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3TL3Ey3hx
"What was that?" Leo asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZhAPNSGGM
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUlB6Q8LA
Carly got to Angel's 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzlWzL4i7
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODjuNUgAhu
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJYGMjZIm6
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8bQ5elL9r
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI367mpn3o
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VDqZTD5c8
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawu4OYLKsm
"You know you're not 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo0k8EylxO
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVoBlzrDT2
for help. You never change, Angel."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGayNgHkLBq
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKPhawNY6j
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUUoZJMFDy
"No thanks, I'm fine."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhCtZz4283
Angel went on to look at635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcne3Rawk0
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsltDWn82OE
then she went on to stare at Carly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYqdI664e
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll8fyVWRTY
Carly paused as she 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3FyDzMUbX
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco9lxNfCil
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCWW26IfEk
Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczCU8BrnJ7
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKRrhrLerl
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gHCp0Il0X
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpzERTU5S
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwuIA6CcaP
hurt or anything."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXSZCMChHP
"May you please drag me 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLwuCUUBt9
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLHCBt7Yf
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckH2FKt6oA
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xbq3T61NY
"Just like Carly said, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquzEXJYA7F
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLvbsHHuuQ
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZYxUb8ej
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM05TzjMgFr
The room soon had an 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFMogW3QVm
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW27A1Iih8
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWuINNovYk
awkwardness.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoDn3m6ila
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSjwikVJWP
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDYDbDqXIm
"Sure."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllhOTaqBFT
Leo stared at Carly 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MoYO3tCfN
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwshefmMMR
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgbuc0OA0
avoid any more problems.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWV82ZVWKZ
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1SEucmkzQ
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlId75neFXr
"Tea would be lovely, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK206Yyhed
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm77EqZgKA
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZmSd0qeoK
could have helped you."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH3UZR0AAj
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQ6U8DAty
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqxwTRCoRl
Carly gladly smiled at 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK4VvZjClT
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLS1jLnKc
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98vsMuKzV5
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjnzb2mqGx
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkD0H6NZhw
And Leo? It was strange 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKuPjGvoU9
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5OZ53qUUG
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPPZtNz9iB
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1K89li2TK
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGNxGNSPo
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwslNiv4jeA
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnx50mjBh
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSSCYbqO9
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMbxhZhIlc
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iBUuOfBvZ
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD1SGfyqoH
While Amanda and Angel 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYHGQ0Mi4d
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMgTTfANVM
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90jVCKpKMd
at the door.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tgLXnBLPF
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerlTz5E1eY
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjeazWjWTY
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN6UqPfTlR
"No, she didn't." Carly 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3FiOBiJO9
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadvmahTDjN
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXrnO6i1m
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoffVLuQhmD
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ380X7XfS
"I don't care about 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oqp5bJsI1
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPcfJrEtRw
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqSXMyuCs
are real."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdSfibxzGR
Carly smiled and she 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u1Y35Jqy7
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qO9OQ4c6O
that she didn't want him to let her go.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lCEO60EKE
She quickly turned 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA6o9wvO4t
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzO56mKysB
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb7o1PWJkW
They would freak out."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFob73AZdt
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKD8G9Oxai
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpvlSG87La
Leo continued to look 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7XSo4MX4
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj6t75y9GX
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV3yjtwMVF
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBmvsM7Yyl
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tgAlYYMqy
"What's going on here?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpzh1Ca6n
Leo and Carly almost 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIONIvpnH7e
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIzmD4MKXi
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm6mWeRKnJ
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXXm5j70iD
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2sPB2FNp9
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sO8drUTdw
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmR6FSjAiA
"For Amanda and Angel."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpAJ4mpkA
"They are both awake?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFREjjWYsJ5
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP6beMIQjH
Mrs McDonell looked at 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbopOgkQxp
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrFIf2ytKW
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53BLwhtyl5
off.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxVSvK2cga
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ9OwM4JT3
Carly took the tray 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNsNHwe4XR
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7BVWgwgg
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUUghcXsRy
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe8dEGyuvk
corner.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKV9iCr2N
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Urs1S2IT
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRexbamvnX
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTimwkgWg
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lbGNkFHi
Leo made his way to the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU63YWMC2bD
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5tJF9nX6M
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tliSTfyGd
By seven, almost 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGND4ZqmMz
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HEYcvPUlL
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOnjRw0fSl
the lovely smell was intoxicating.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoAQq8JAeU
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnJ9Hclw3z
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSz0WbCp1p
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyFsI6T721
time to go to school.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHrw6fx6HS
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxN52p8kQG
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHzoEqq7Ya
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyilJw8tlI
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHXzzSKOb
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue6CMWGFtS
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡint1bkABkD
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MzV9GYH90
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLItDj17JvS
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMfOVMQQo1
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbsPniwkA3
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6TFHdlTE5
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPvRgmeW0r
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypd4GwAOk
them.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFsd6cxSJV
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgav7SFes1Q
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAlYKl0MiA
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVO4ViUXEA
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZ8eUJyEJ
"Right," Leo replied.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ar662QrOa
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qqwB7Gau4
Just as they were about 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELkqQrUnN6
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WYmszTYxW
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpkyCum0v9
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkVQNtZ3He
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9i7eUBiEp
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO4HJ9CVhV
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJWq5HwCQ
Before Leo could reply 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mdMFSdLVy
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCrTKxDspj
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbbeGj3F9g
looked away feeling irritated.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA8ffcuE8B
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFDSPrQIx2
Everyone else on the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3cLkDDymg
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaX4jC5snT
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK6e7trGnq
except Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuegcgHt6tB
"This is just lovely," 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQcFd6Fg5t
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCAKhD1GzX
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzQ77UD4hO
really early."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9pPfykR2R
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRuzkQAMlD
"Your wife isn't here, 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz7Lk25NBr
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQkTuLaHL
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAHfUrjmjd
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZi5qQIue
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrizEu7MzMf
Angel almost spelt the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYD2bXYIzy
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq9Dnk3S6f
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXJqmRWKz9
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil9PrZUwKr
just ran a hand through his hair.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1AZ7mg0GK
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjltdvK3SH
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN0uH8CVzr
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg5GfSU1V8
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgyptHAtIs
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGrBn8a3j9
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQNEw8u2lD
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYIfGdSStp
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ydMjNDas
"Have to go to school," he said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgBUHiQsm
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBKXyHv1YG
Oliver came round the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtHN6gaxZ0
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVU5XxJuC4
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzyxcmENzd
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg1M0SphVl
ears.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzrfVHzNh
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUB2Kok1BC
"So adorable," said Carly.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVkZ4zee5I
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QarbigtNv
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVAMssvQRH
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCJ0SjL3ba
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMxv0HpE81
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwY7pbHhin
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1puw0gdwf
"Well, I do."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyBAg5cGzp
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pDtIwXkt5
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgFcBfdqrb
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgipsT7ZQuQ
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN8ntwZoyB
"I'll find you in the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Mf0B5nJr
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL7oaTXBHS
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetySJMqhSA
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjONuKXzI3
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00yHfrN4c
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7kTt5gITk
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrccyZk1L
"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOmBse0bBq
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyuI1GRHsJ
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ZImrg55f
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBT1xbCpnL
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJZfgwN61Z
Before Carly could 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDVIbz6HY
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsyH0uZNOB
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3sHJq2toN
interested about what her sister was up to.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiEknyu9OZ
"I'll join you," said 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XSrTP98h6
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpIEMjJEYf
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeiAmi2cgj
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUeXUybhrt
"I'll go get ready," 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaIqTR2jy3
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKKK02U2G
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS4vTisshZ
times.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpourFkjmNt
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QqR64LwZ
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHILlSp8b3
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6faxDlYVKI
The last thing Leo 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOkMFOu2Eg
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOcaZsWJu3
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VNL51XaD
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPtiWPXs1J
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzOKcg5o82
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8w8HXQsjn
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBr5NbTpb
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9OCWxoxGx
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmK7uXmtzz
"Yes. It's really 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2BDENjiqE
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPSKQ4smr
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9qZ4FlnVP
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8gX5tOcym
since I'm so old."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD7lpOsRsu
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhZEy9mZsi
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTBVO2YELe
"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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGhahbKmM5
Leo sighed. He looked 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn9n2GN9Vm
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutmo8ueYXm
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj50vYZ7ysg
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSosC2hTSLQ
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuFrXoHGym
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
