Leo had a smile on his 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDnJGgSsu
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBTZDEp3PU
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDjop3jHWq
face right in front of him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgOus7AMgC
It was morning and the 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDERc3SkVs
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAcDKMfndK
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSxKXRZlSx
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI2hdFDmfd
brilliantly in the morning sun.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqyhgrvXCY
Carly had joined him 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pjCeDdV2E
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8YT6kx9oW
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvfrYMK2m6
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ph0V50fH
birds, of course.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eUDuZcNLN
It was good she came, 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA0wXoxTvv
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fEORultmc
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdjvpIFxi
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmDIR39mTr
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLw5XrOiy
He stretched his hand 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CTkAVygMc
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUBPoejSvH
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulBExiXRYD
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZckVo4lx0u
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnYu1nl3va
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJiShGhanB
She didn't respond as 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dTqa5pEo
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G2qg8aD6i
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGDaKDzZLt
himself. Leo chuckled.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCb4U2iHbQ
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KFtw1Oubu
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPclEfRxk7T
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA9cDLa01X
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SAU8wAWFj
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV55Mz8Q3Y
"You're right. But I 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtzVXTwl1K
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vDuXWZCFW
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2xqq7dByC
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpBG0zgM8r
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGP10idpTN
They both got out of bed597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1R3JQX9em
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRc8u2HhhF
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMIuy4Eg4x
way to Carly's.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYr6JsrgeE
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyREq9AK93F
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqkNmLs9hv
Carly gave him a simple 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4BRBrdr1a
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07EidbU1bJ
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69rkxy3pki
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bU3rZMe5b
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2rficCzIb
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux0P0BDiVs
He made his way 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM439d7IAb
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb79YQvm5t
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi3J1KLcEd
kitchen.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5rJM0vzj
He wondered who could be597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22xqvDyD6e
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjXtZWORYS
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlaezOpLH
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkartFfjsu
little.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdMuNPMoo
Angel was standing by 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWD1znJu70
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLUI2ajDE6
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiMnKgP7Xc
thing that shook him the moment he got there.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7fmXVOXLs
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUvAtInRlf
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOtOPgUZ5A
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFSOcHhVUu
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m9LUGzIOY
"I just had to."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMIczSslCY
"Ummm," Leo still 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2iC4NIIoE
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ894LhQy3VJ
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbIkeZFcWT
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshpR6nvz4O
The coffee maker soon 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzBEcLJjn
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn4DJGBqQZ
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u9V3wmhVy
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDPlk5KCs
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIsemiqEZS
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCLAaQMwA
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHIFw7pRcd
"Why? You wanted me 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCsyhRGf1x
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxeVcBIqQ5
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXobK3eXPFK
a cup.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguLIheJC5G
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx6vHJxbfK
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjcfB1mBkL
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmbxM1I13l
"You still don't seem 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvChoqurP
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceuQhfaKg8
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZDmwd60w
things."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1TcGgdm0
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINDWOkf6C
Angel took a sip of her 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRi7L0Z9To
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3LVMIvsFA
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdSmHfQrdR
spent her night with you."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZC1U54L9
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5GWms8dzJ
Angel smirked and Leo 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uTg2K6lpI
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xxmhNpqJM
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XxRX6nlnj
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIK4hpNWo
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1m68FpOmy
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YrLYCaaw7
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqqtlmOKva
"You're right, Leo. It's597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqARv3PYR8a
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbLr1NbIkm
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiklkyJR2o
have any control over."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHrD035xBo
Leo was a little shocked597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOBOIquuSV
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflKWTkJKtL
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcMRjMUVuc
game?597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKHcuHfvA
She slowly made her way 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXLnNnbWMC
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi3jb3JQiN
look at her and something came up in his mind.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k1D6t30pB
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1CaMxb6FY
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHAlwcup76
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ldpGbVsAs
"The time you came into 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEkd7VOWft
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTcC26skaZ
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl38pWrT2YL
Angel smiled at Leo. 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcvBcBWDJn
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXR77Npt4j
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T71fYxbPc
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPM4PRFQr0
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzspWb1TrV
"I don't believe you."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQUWy7dqg
"You don't have to, Mr 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfpAdV1ALn
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5RYrhJJ1x
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRz8TKJEJR
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkuivZD9LH
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGRVCGFwG4
"I'll be heading out for597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qKdhAOzT
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BQXpvZvSs
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfwcUU8rsJ
Leo didn't have to 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ykac0Sf8
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwycrHi7z9
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cuB5aJF82
her.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9tMhwhQ1d
Leo stared at the closed597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHKMIlZFRV
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5KM6UcMiC
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfK0qF3hzM
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGM7NEB1aA
utterly disturbed.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJvF1rn80h
***597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEEeUDt3o
In597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXAFW6QXMg
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM63r3YrlC
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSj6P9YMh
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHDanrB77G
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx86IIMEraj
"Morning," said Amanda.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh99LhcOBa
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN6OTZsfRK
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjd8mdxan
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Ekorrv9o
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPBq61z9xr
"And597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWFV4tlYzk
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6svqVj6gC
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwioCZ7Can2
"Do I?" Leo asked.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUgPCi7PUh
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOW2CLyW90
Leo597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1TBg4ZEQk
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKIMwqyDrO
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREvyi7D8qN
knew the reason too.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5RxE4MGkP
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7SIA3upEb
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir9Yty4R23
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRDtbxBg7h
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW3hezQoHN
"Lovely."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWIDoME4Nm
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XEv8jFXbG
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfsoEp3vk7
Upon597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAzncZpG0X
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUNWEK0OsR
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHIUupfg6X
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KrdJJrWMm
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Dul6suL5
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspYjJ10Yi2
Eric597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS9154QYuf
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCA1PxVPjd
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8au7xArk7
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6MTC99kl7
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcfFmrMYS
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FA2IIyeqW
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Fl3H8rNU
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuH3EA5aL1
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2znXFG8ZN0
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0KTQGwXh2
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCjy6Cb5R8
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEwbasjmxi
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSTSfRbHMa
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdkkgnncxw
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsG2k10vMc
Leo597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYAvPhimWF
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCiNSKac84
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInkVeAvi0v
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvFug6OO7
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHVtuEX52V
Angel597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdqjHDXYRr
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZwM5gSVwc
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKxyIYGn3Q
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuM7Sy93v
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI0PFL9sTY
"I'll597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vA9DnuiR8
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDrRQ7xZLC
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhcDhY1FAF
"Yes, I would," said Angel.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk2IU2S4Pf
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g4v5pQCaO
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1NCed58lj
"Yes, I'm not."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2nC8wmKL
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsOhGAyXai
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c3Ek8LOaG
"Yes, I would."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wMfrtccW
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaY85T5hur
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLuCaYNO4e
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9EXviSIaT
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhwnLKIXM
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLIpvDPz2f
"Yes."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1p4ss0yt2
Leo597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAw2JrNNAL
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaScZWr2ZAv
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgmro80ABe
talking about Angel.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvrPJMYwW5
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkXjNJufog
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc74b8QIooG
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQsyXKt5ZD
Before Angel could find 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrr3185rt
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tbiWqAylF
seeing her sister, standing on her own.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqqrhfF0ob
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsC6n3jfVU
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5enU8wAlz
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7zznmtbDP
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."597Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcOjJnmPjy
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
