The phone alarm woke Leo654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgDYwrw6Bn
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpn0906sOR
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUJSe54RC
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUO1zjSjV9
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqLKhkow0h
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByJ2zgJTGR
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYI3EE4VF3
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpvXbLPGh
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHmB8ATJ1i
After taking a shower, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67tKde1Q3A
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69VFebMfQ
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNbzpQYsT
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6x0OwdN9g
ever. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxnHDVIk25
He soon went out of his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUO7vBS85A
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DOB0J7YJu
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp6zqGJFNw
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCX7UoHHp1
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadWr9wxliG
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR77L8jHuH
him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJABw5ocVD
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1iq9af3J7
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjAA86qMu
"Don't ruin the mood by 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8s2eCGUg
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIHNJaUWWQ
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCjdgjdIyb
Leo smiled as he 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu0iZU0jl2
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt3HkPI3DM
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdym3aRj0
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd2RsOQ60I
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnpVeC8pZ
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekNonSK7N0
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps6BDSeFya
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEoTsNaeNr
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2VqoEwja
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTUFZ3inWs
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzAdv2StVt
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0cqwTeDp
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodLxzxhvRK
"She is, actually," said654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5bMyrIJHy
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB17gLgNqr
anything to you. You have me around."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb1avQRyAj
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykavsY134S
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg9RG8XFJ1
Before Carly could say 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETUyuE6v59
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLug2geEWL
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSKrjFq5FI
"What was that?" Leo asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVndEkXaPkp
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ778MXtoVrK
Carly got to Angel's 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRM768NhMO
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAhwnFykCZ
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1DoBVJPU5
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsEvwtRhN
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0xzgHqAF
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmHQEygNA
"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."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjvhot2g9G
"You know you're not 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFqzoGucAX
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RFimfEeZQ
for help. You never change, Angel."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVle1fUQgqE
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrtPcrTmHQ
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXkjplDJQQ
"No thanks, I'm fine."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrCqlLcVP
Angel went on to look at654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHFswWnakz
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR9J4Q86zA
then she went on to stare at Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsqVXad3JX
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnBaf4IlAl
Carly paused as she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFR2XJ0bg
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxz9niYrnA
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNSWSLCa5
Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA32Wya4sD
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKh7frt36Q
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamUBdzUj35
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oIS0M4k2U
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53QGPZ4f9
hurt or anything."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGPfwDYXb
"May you please drag me 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOQn411pkk
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OedWfmwGV
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzhhYTC0hI
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeslkW5j6Y
"Just like Carly said, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM0uaw9dfP
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen7iXXkJj6
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl8YmUZ8qA
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu95vfWhyOC
The room soon had an 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT5vJjKMjV
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTMJZM0t4F
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM22wFdG15r
awkwardness.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN7Wm7AZwb
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKAOTwUBgv
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2fOCYbby3
"Sure."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90bbGqShAl
Leo stared at Carly 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fCNfrbo6C
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR2nk0dKMA
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB96bxlNTI1
avoid any more problems.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9AtvcGz1n
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjWdhL0hL
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSU62OBEgF
"Tea would be lovely, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEXUybkuVr
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmHUxK7Ovk
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XPcXljPw
could have helped you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwTQNRqvo
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBc2aMDSu
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeFATWpAwY
Carly gladly smiled at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPJjEUsIvy
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyMU5CB5KQ
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lymswcn5f
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M2OkvEVm6
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIxnSoGb8J
And Leo? It was strange 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMmZfzZZ5q
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQlUYOVWrG
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOHw9mVvA7
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUciMuDesSf
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKU5UqrVXh
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkodUuH3FcO
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyO9O436gy
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVPYgCgliZ
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wrb5HxBDS
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iryGLZxIn
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdI59WEuQs
While Amanda and Angel 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1zXVHuYo2
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJTwCG4ozd
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgDM2Pn4wm
at the door.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yJKejHhhL
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuf46CUq0t
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL1lyVGuhi
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCKTwAXqOm
"No, she didn't." Carly 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7QXCUroI0
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuMrZhnGR0
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyclz5BgsPB
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCvDxAAYv9
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVnWNqODSg
"I don't care about 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtJb0XGlyh
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDmjCs8R2
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXMkbvxvFm
are real."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO8zGZhCE3
Carly smiled and she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YopN59BIu
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZeS3TQt37
that she didn't want him to let her go.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yy9jjpw42
She quickly turned 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hBRx6AqI
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTi5TGt3D
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiMPLzPoxr
They would freak out."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8MZoDDGHE
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkh3D6i13V
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajI8pWVQh2
Leo continued to look 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SQgv56Kyq
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74X0cGM43Y
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWAxk0MjPk
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlkNR1fsy2
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7efbKWGzf
"What's going on here?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSU01XGlHQ
Leo and Carly almost 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ZSryb6gO
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEBlSFnlmY
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzDERVPrKm
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJURBjzlU34
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw16qVpiV9B
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnfFsWKiO
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgqZ1GMiOd
"For Amanda and Angel."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eqw6462H0
"They are both awake?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4SSznvZpE
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGSaWdksw6
Mrs McDonell looked at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZD4RifM2
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnjqHCXaCc
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoOy4kQI5a
off.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPEgOxVKFd
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4DG0UNymI
Carly took the tray 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiChlTquwqm
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OAYijsYvy
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83Pi8371j
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukO3UFDeU2
corner.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTbHqbwwE
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0OdswKrnU
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuatDHSasN
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuLDHovjXn
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATrJqzc9Zo
Leo made his way to the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QW711oNbL
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9TqGDUJ1s
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7L0MSPAwJ
By seven, almost 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BlBeQUqev
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mu8j1fddi
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiovAsnuX00
the lovely smell was intoxicating.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9UQulU2VB
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxKJVFmoDP
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuqzbjEHhC
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenbn7lctM1
time to go to school.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbINaBTfFn
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzYLJF6JW8
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHpkdGiHAg
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLaNLuA8XD
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLqzALHl7A
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGhp3R02hB
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVAOvNisxt
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbon6W5wfp
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXynIeeDg
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs9pVQsN1c
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFpf8YrNa9
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEohWw6xx7
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsy148rjWc
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscPWEqhLld
them.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLtax6Vj3P
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JsBM0d5GH
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLtDpP3KX
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn18VSMgvI4
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8UgEaxmpO
"Right," Leo replied.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCJLuTRhJ3
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqJNyuxgy
Just as they were about 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaT9iaIHlC
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjApgsNNWob
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgNsD1r38n
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcpvznyxUe
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdFi1RmfJS
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LCIdvB50s
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03avvnqqnX
Before Leo could reply 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnNuGS1llF
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcdbELjOZJ
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaydy2qKOf
looked away feeling irritated.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlBVsHJBhc
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ3suPfdJf
Everyone else on the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62HG4SaSy7
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjXRjJGpo3
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhQlWioe0M
except Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvuYcjWDq7
"This is just lovely," 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Den0lPdxA
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUM0niYTP
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8xqFfM8ga
really early."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU8LHq0ndd
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TERo32od
"Your wife isn't here, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4KWR7wmTf
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6Nc3EVfEd
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHEXga7BVL
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8qsekLfol
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLOhxFu2qu
Angel almost spelt the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7BnUgUUOF
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvzWUsrTHd
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cQTYRKziZ
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJnVnwplr9
just ran a hand through his hair.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCyS5InyHz
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7r6ABF79Q
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWSkOkyfC0
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCuoAEe2Wx
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxK85Yhlb
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSX620y2bo
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJGnVpjPqW
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPJWErZsZ8
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0l9r2fIS
"Have to go to school," he said.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx4kDkal3y
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvLx6VrT6G
Oliver came round the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxpxAUWYfT
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpBFR4cG4m
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFg8ne3aq
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6jgohON5U
ears.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl4eZpcG9w
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFRbiqLp8x
"So adorable," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzHpE3UprO
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfPop4FD0E
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr3e0tTTD8
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXSTGkc2NS
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitJyEldVxa
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYYiJ9T74
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKl8QCo14d
"Well, I do."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVjsUQDSE
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYgoL0z9N
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjVufRXnhE
"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."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVQ9SMWonK
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a3iLtbkY4
"I'll find you in the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN7dxvfZDb
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLlp6SisY
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzIQ5O4iM5
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlwLSxEXgH
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuejFwewlP8
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD3q2S0TMx
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGaMRUkTK6
"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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cbtzAERu
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4xxJkxhug
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9z6XqAz4
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnUxVaX40h
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIObELTFTT
Before Carly could 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUtc4k8yPX
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cayPEpVVJ
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRV00LvYx9
interested about what her sister was up to.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOFw4gdGoW
"I'll join you," said 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxxOvwEilS
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFWdI7D8gz
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwWJHdLUtQ
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xUVZzyQVF
"I'll go get ready," 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbBol4C6df
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcYPwm9FQm
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVyQ3Ttt5V
times.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5msvhadWV
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82HyRNNAz3
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWAE13X0U
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB5M6G1Osn
The last thing Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Qywa5VRI
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9g31BWCwm
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nkPL4Ditg
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmni3SwSAav
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PM7UB0sF
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixtgew657L
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyNUM00MB0
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyndm38kGoP
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7c87IMeJZ
"Yes. It's really 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OWWB5Ice
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudSZQlTmWn
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f87ClgORI
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJkJvQopW
since I'm so old."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZThzJ4g8vO
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NdGDrphxu
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR875dB92Tl
"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?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsh5yDZtEP
Leo sighed. He looked 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFcFEc0niN
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17iSs5NwvJ
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUSXvXwov
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71GTjQJjc
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MzhbU1AcX
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
