Carly walked in through 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsLEPwIToo
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1wnyqXkXB
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkVIgd4ipz
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMpRopq4eI
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc0mol2UY4
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUsFByj3XS
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCVV5mgnZu
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsMtpwE9Sn
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB7FoyAvRm
"Have you already eaten lunch?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvHuzheKC5
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB8VI4DUX9
"Looks like the shopping did you good."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WUKb7Qvc
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOptvwlf9kP
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi72OzIxgiL
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PWaVYPHfP
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMEKQHi6id
"In the study?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYvNsjuDD
"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."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHaww0moem
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T55BXfEy0
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaf5nvNOfF
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN28kNJcbc2
"I know you're supposed 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzEMX6GVoY
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58beijjTx4
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo0r8QfCcG
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru5NotslKV
Carly felt herself 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAsmhL9Vd7
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffHfJF6n5O
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj87EIfAvj
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdS5BYo9lB
her that.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebcCGvJrir
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrudcusL5RH
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTTAIFmRJb
Just before the two 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF3ErUD1FS
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQmeEciQw
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcv3U2E3m
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVOpqYWRpo
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0SxPW2W5D
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJPSB2whgD
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2udclWrS6
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAps8fcFTb3
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpVRBH3PkS
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv6EABIqkX
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRLLRbllS
Carly went on her way 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPE9eZ4Tp4
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsypqdFdOM
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98pIafp7t
from Amanda.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPmETFqDnK
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeU37BgNg2
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONYxmVFbZI
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mi7FhBtnC
Carly couldn't hear 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVWJ1zmp7
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurVoLxzvqT
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MvB7hReKJ
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GggXbUozF
Before she could get to 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlWMAMj6pE
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQpnNWTLz
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdbJvXpDeB
She opened the door to 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLWoBiYDu
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWlyrx8cS
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLPutRhwoj
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFttHUuJrGo
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRpztSmno
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1YbMbGBam
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa7LBMMwlC
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh8KUceJ1F
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkVlj7gP8W
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIh8po52Y9
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQKOpImhk9
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEZvLVlpaF
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa0Erv6Oj8
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpnj87a0r7
"How has been your day?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7XOwL17aV
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW0YlpbfqV
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFbi32aqZI
facing her sister.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2jvmz951
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42PkfTCcnU
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLEmoOotBS
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH4nOEvkc1
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqEWcB4eZM
Angel faced the glass 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUrUrEyEWW
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8MrVeS90n
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYWSaJKvys
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6vyN73AD
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIHIdAyEeK
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGkDvybnsk
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdhp2sZm0V
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ueqvPPIo
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpbpOPxGYT
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnhIVwOzQs
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODcU5Gkbbp
Carly's mouth fell open 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoNMrlVVbv
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYeMDAnZj7
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XUdoSJcmx
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ZUqc1q8W
"Do you think I would 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGxzD5a4Xe
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZXcxWPrii
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweTf8UCPX9
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ5y2MJcHN
"For you, yes because 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH5npRHTgu
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf2kATKrwc
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJhLCfuch
the mall?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceIbUeJYRX
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB5ZGJngWR
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vQnV7MxOE
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNj3zhwNl8
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaozi0V9YT
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgSoeuiof7
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtiN8LFvy
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruE23EAbPG
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1TXxRs11Q
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr3Tei2MxM
"I wouldn't worry about 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpevoRlZgf5
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vXLnnhnlM
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXmfNp8CK
"When a lady's fiancé 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh0MG9Hklh
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91OdmobwE
that there might be another woman."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7C92XR6sb
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHV9gSV9O5
Angel felt like 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5dSehy9Fv
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeMvFOopIi
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJL9mlSzKB
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTdPMoJgZ2
"Well, what do you 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxYTX7AyUP
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1mPY5acgN
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISuvP2t85
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGVP04VIM
Kim for good."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhiO2o3Jr
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJijTgOWGXD
Angel placed the book 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9tmYia6vC
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0tmdvoRs7
started to wheel herself out of the room.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPPjTKNLd
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIfpoV7xC6
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAslXo6jGM
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQb9HiPNKN
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPtrs9x9sL
"You want me to move on 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLk8p27fKP
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu0X7wIrMB
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G7Er7IGp2
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlxvBQStM8
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IITEpDEde
"What?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGr0YUm7Af
Carly felt powerless as 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddQIn7J7s8
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlsrL18j8
on her chair so as to look at Carly.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LF09gxjaS
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gN1BOWgLC
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZgiK1TPAw
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35H7ydwwbY
Carly felt her knees 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNimVO11j0
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmoks3y5uU
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIdx3cTnMk
lost and confused.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59xqLtE2q
"At least you now know 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHizpqixCJ
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMU3M8eCHb
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8EoXQPXNe
to or else that would've killed her instead."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXdvkDgck
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Adt0o9YI
"But it's the truth." 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdd12zN4b5
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2weCk6u4P7
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSKMf5s42O
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4mEpRHgk
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3TumCUp3a
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGd0cpBWT3
Angel looked on at 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ57Bmi0XX
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi7mXUL2VE
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5XCgqKpzb
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuzIXz8cct
sister anymore.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHYG38J0n
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKSFu1tJHs
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosbO4Npn95
Angel flinched by the 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTeBs3pihh
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qbqjxLe5i
hadn't heard their whole conversation.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjB11g28JW
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.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rt6NN99m9
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDZtpaf0z9
Amanda continued to look655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgPGG2UV6Q
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbLAvbm3o
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRunKuivB
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEgamOHtMJ
"Well, you should have 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ7Q0U7swF
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAT0NwKLeM
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0t1kpmX6X
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4GW92hb2d
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWQ7PH0tL
"Of course."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3uqZKogp5
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeIVIam8Jc
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHobtC0RoG
"Well, I better go and 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZp78jZ9s
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMKG57u6ei
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ejsm06DzG
my best behaviour."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNxcnGcBQB
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOuD1tk80W
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVobV9XsCt
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6HwWzNKN
"You're right, dear. I'm not."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccZh0Kgqlh
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRz6f9VUMf
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQklre0Ngkz
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcA2y4vldy
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbyEKeg8V
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsblN6zluT7
Carly looked at Angel 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02n0zcCL1z
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLuD3plAM
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjhUP7Jv8P
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW6hHj9Vv7
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ifc5yKMgj
"What should I do?" 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf5aRq6UNn
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTcR1JHQkV
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5DgOy1L6e
dinner."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWzwaty2m6
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYZTFbgEIZ
"Are you serious?" Angel655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCPW0CpT1W
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEG4ZvoqOF
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAS0tdJax
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2w1Vwej6a
"I wouldn't like to know655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcn6mDODZl
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvqI0a0l9
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmGVhCxfmg
future."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7FOzlhLJM
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GynlMVEpV
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXUQfoL28E
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnrdqhOWWx
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7iTwEcfmy
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5EUet5Fp5
Carly almost gave a 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tpZPokwQt
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1p3GwdMJ5
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLpyraNW3C
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YTLtqU3Qo
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZAoX817gN
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOzKdfhApm
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhIRyt88sV
Amanda turned her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItRG4ZFKtt
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ljCv8TUaH
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufBZqkBxYT
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFmeYWbDt
"With what?" Angel asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY2vcreVuS
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL7R1k6dty
"Carly, you aren't going655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmGZpKanxL
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuKUV7jYed
backside. You don't want to make it worse."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajccGFX8Y
"But aren't you scared?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2eoRVO69T
Angel raised her eyebrow655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReHUwYNsdY
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU5Tzju5XQ
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKcnrKNIqG
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpH4pTJnDS
"I'm glad you've changed655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iMs6mO5Rh
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBlXVXa70y
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEytBbk8Ts
would be a problem."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeBqAaeerK
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OzRz0Tgnm
"It's none of my 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2sLpFlVUD
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfgzmzvq04
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdRFcY0Nya
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsV08nGfBM
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtdJ8gWMbw
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKgQyn5qPx
When Angel left the 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSOwCHSIrz
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 655Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5WPC3JjN
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
