Carly walked in through 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSxOXvbA3e
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaVxZdOkhh
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvzG3O8gAV
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxg6iE2tfF
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLTrzdob7
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqIDVGpcUC
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOOZnBfLT
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF4n83tWNT
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZVBJimHb
"Have you already eaten lunch?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oJzYSvVcb
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHcifp9aj
"Looks like the shopping did you good."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegZ5T44jFm
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWTlS0G4Z
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugNOOBStPN
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfJQGq4LPy
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2N32SpeaO
"In the study?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaduRLdZQ1
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypehl76Mq
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44WXSvdhZW
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOdSZxRoE
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ipYhBRBDD
"I know you're supposed 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF7XKyMEBT
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2lCsoMrBm
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNhgiXU4Pp
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYm4CwMmbP
Carly felt herself 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghPU9i3uyq
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iWglDbjae
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6EaLsuSuQ
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMgZdJY9jI
her that.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4dnfnUMkx
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDN7UCPb28
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDORkP72QL
Just before the two 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHSjyPK50
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoypPAfJm6n
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldXfr9VjMC
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TpdkYdRQv
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP3bA8wxh0
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xA9PUlwps
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0niEogHz
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp2OAa3Asi
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQRJ1mh1Br
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHE8zm8pDr
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckRzbftCrR
Carly went on her way 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlLic0SRdu
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7JPuAXcC
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEWYBb6vBy
from Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDdN4E5It
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvly8DSWabm
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHAFbITN77
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIE1epkFty
Carly couldn't hear 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5qw5R9jln
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYBhIYJsoe
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ym2xmxdwc
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQLsohu3cH
Before she could get to 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNKjNEYSRI
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGPWNAj3jQ
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUTKgac7C
She opened the door to 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcuUnVN273
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWazjDfmgp
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlpSzQrRek
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaj4jgwtR3
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmlfSlMczq
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbVxNGFLjf
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzolqghtS
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jRYcRKam
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS0GoR7Pim
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VhsJEWMy9
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnpu8veNt
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zIaILNjn3
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJE3ZgcR2Z
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rPVG5E9b
"How has been your day?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4z6Fajda4
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgHIGzKWaY
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHpjriZR3l
facing her sister.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYS41hLHV
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T9EQsBZER
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanP2kAhOTl
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2imjacXF
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofvNTah2Cf
Angel faced the glass 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5SjekfX4b
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpOq0jdpix
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AfKGxVIn5
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9WrOxSIoh
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb6It0BOXS
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6yQMFClyW
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxJewsBA5t
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlHi8bUVQC
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg1eV39AZO
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIrsdMdF17
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5reD4g82
Carly's mouth fell open 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGDEE0hYjg
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPwC9Nwsjv
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn9h8CTnJq
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdSYK1TgFn
"Do you think I would 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanISSxoRur
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifaJzJRGdy
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsbw9rqzx7
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnIsgUHve7
"For you, yes because 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbsWbI41Mm
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W5uIgf3sJ
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMZ3uoS0uW
the mall?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OhKH5K3zp
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvlpWOpwzw
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZm0FfOGFp
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0uu9HNiIo
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklIOEQduYB
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0fNJjnOyA
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdN0T2KwQJ
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvKopGA1ze
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW80PzbKJ7n
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7968EdvBj
"I wouldn't worry about 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAaO6s86r4
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEFnoYDO7C
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo7WiH4TC9
"When a lady's fiancé 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVg7OrmuR
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoeaYTInf
that there might be another woman."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABr2Y2dCzz
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86drBTm9z3
Angel felt like 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS3pEKY3Bp
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7G1yzp8bn
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhw7s6mA2W
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB7LvBjzxG
"Well, what do you 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuw6Gnibg2
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5DZiAP7dk
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR4hbN4B7V
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXHxsKFkJn
Kim for good."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqM6CL1Lr
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5VX67FlNt
Angel placed the book 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe9GjXdIXr
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXBYmzibP
started to wheel herself out of the room.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8LsBRytOJ
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupFBr5ADo
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQkDQxzIP7
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6fnifZkxv
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVUyqbPbag
"You want me to move on 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b94YcDkOw
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMFpAUWujg
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviR1KdI5ge
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5wztKLul
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoRqpsh4jE
"What?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxr4eNtIXu
Carly felt powerless as 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJze92tKmo
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNjRgKzm92
on her chair so as to look at Carly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsTUn7W9Q
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOXDR2z4IV
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4NyH8fXJL
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjcPkHxzm0
Carly felt her knees 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHCMf753tE
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCOsE1oZ0
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKBy6vZyDd
lost and confused.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ZbaOZwG5
"At least you now know 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5DM1GKtzv
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafS1tKQMqS
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AU3w0JRHN
to or else that would've killed her instead."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25IWA2U9VZ
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQXAdOMtl
"But it's the truth." 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjFM6xe1Xz
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpK54oEZ9D
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n4Oqvzfge
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBtePHUvnY
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMiuC7qzDC
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJir8ydjnr
Angel looked on at 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z3H2knpu3
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G67XDXwvK
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQCjh5Awn
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVc7al9ek8
sister anymore.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQvLxwDbuJ
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPBCXH9Bev
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXUXbt9nXh
Angel flinched by the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLSOzX2mYq
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHa9RHSAWk
hadn't heard their whole conversation.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAEB9SzeO7
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzv0mUKiqm
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnQOuQz0k
Amanda continued to look627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMz9TwZE2e
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKfo39Mmch
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlZzWMJY3X
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZbyCaOCRP
"Well, you should have 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXtFMFTRoQ
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYZQiUIw6Y
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucjmFao3wX
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPoBeTj3et
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZXQx9piRx
"Of course."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dNV3895dQ
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjduoynaOA3
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNwMl0Xpam
"Well, I better go and 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJbkxJH5OL
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OX6MVxiFJ
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp8qHZe0JW
my best behaviour."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gRk2mwPEW
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzB17C63tg
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO9vNjCEIU
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCmiYgRH6
"You're right, dear. I'm not."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyYskBPwRL
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSkBvPwrEK
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvTdX3S5Qt
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMawhSsbRR
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOHYJ3EFEU
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmrS4vkoX
Carly looked at Angel 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR9njI23Wl
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTdRazpob
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRs5T2efXS
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQSw7SEw6f
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKzvfxBrs
"What should I do?" 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahejkukDP
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJEHXv4Uz
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcTVNX4UEh
dinner."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm46geMC8p
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfiSdmDaY
"Are you serious?" Angel627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZxpGysGvs
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i7lP8As8w
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6UDirnRyd
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndzaCcjLIt
"I wouldn't like to know627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnToE9iqiL
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJuA4RVlA
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12CIZwgXuT
future."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf7dnBBhbS
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGcdoRFz0
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV7JIkJFtN
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYqeX4ZX08
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5wdKIQiy4
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBLZLbTgOS
Carly almost gave a 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmcCBZ7Eqp
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4vSOWy2NU
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4H9mttM2q
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHEAMvqdfz
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZLlkGz4gg
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFqrEFiRlA
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LO2PcuNc
Amanda turned her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a1NSJpb7k
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo5zgSgFvu
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mTqa3PE2
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cGmIG14t2
"With what?" Angel asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuXzf1EKoo
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7etjl9V90
"Carly, you aren't going627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqXU1LRr5
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQMkeV7N75
backside. You don't want to make it worse."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCki8cF0SIr
"But aren't you scared?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvgQztBqxf
Angel raised her eyebrow627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKalTn2ZeL3
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3w63I54I3
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitWOE52aZM
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq27F3IkA51
"I'm glad you've changed627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5XUUY1ULX
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpikhUidnva
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbTsZcg0S7
would be a problem."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtaMkEUQ3j
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Ba7NTMHU
"It's none of my 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Vx3kvPbo
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlv2ooPj0
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsuTfMnHRW
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllArbnrq5a
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeDLXIInKm
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzNiPicWPm
When Angel left the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyLoyornAz
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVplhG0sPyC
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
