Carly walked in through 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTlTEzpQq2
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi97xTCyiH
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbwjxeOX33
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hphi232mo
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FV8MC5QwM
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGO0GcBeZ9
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3dWm95QNr
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAkRrD2Xw
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR0gQFDcLA
"Have you already eaten lunch?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY7vtmSJ3S
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbZkh6Ol2Z
"Looks like the shopping did you good."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj82no7XaUN
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sv5ziFRAf
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMutidjkf
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZNVyhdvyM
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZENRf0Wfd
"In the study?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc5Ckcs4LY
"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."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaauH0bWIrM
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom6t2gARYu
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgMolfeLyc
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KY3impmxy
"I know you're supposed 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oMosjOeo8
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgNH5SjtAz
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtDZrLAlQH
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqudamMyx1
Carly felt herself 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvYSsxGDwZ
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZusXqvJXgL
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWZxSuLmhl
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhOsdN0CJd
her that.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ECOcUyGP
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgyRjyLQpa
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICL6gHb3tp
Just before the two 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcyMYWzXgx
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6i1SpsHbq
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCFm23HQsB
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIvOW24wn4
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemK1X5qcMW
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5EheTlVs
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kNI1bZgvJ
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvGrXNk3zY
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVharuIvUW
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqz28nZSrQ
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtF0rcOhI
Carly went on her way 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEEqdww89x
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosU42cqGbG
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItfKnvoqG6
from Amanda.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yEJwGoegH
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZO3bo8vUJ
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsViOzjNCL
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQsRZ8XMDG
Carly couldn't hear 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBiJeYLWcz
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1UkMWQNJZ
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLWrPvXq5U
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9vuNRjBKl
Before she could get to 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGszTB8XnH
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGnr01Tlnz
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis7gR5QlqO
She opened the door to 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRw2VD2Eyv
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c8RHaCmtC
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeiyb19uPI
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvvtwUgPAH
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAWQ3bH6p
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hKQ9eYBGl
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLMgpUJuSm
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc5TFNxUCY
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajIVtivRyE
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4D5dSeS6Q
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmilsKpVrdn
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74GbztJQ3c
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLRVdLZQIw
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqyvK7LqL8
"How has been your day?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitHtkSE8o
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aeCVr0ELj
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwHpqLB5tk
facing her sister.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy6TDemYag
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2WCEyDu4Z
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMhXRUV3Ix
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQv1jIhsM
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQ2ltLoT1
Angel faced the glass 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1DpNNOYl
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY0o2RKu7p
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DiunH18Y9
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2oB4b7SmI
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4qY3J7Rsj
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQYfSouLjD
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYiMg70xJC
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZF4KbfeQd
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizxBgeS5wF
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprV3PizzjO
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc5gHPeGkA
Carly's mouth fell open 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMEROhI8h
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc01LY6kKQ
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodPtjttE7J
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtIMk5nlts
"Do you think I would 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoTfFn5gKD
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIYwcY8cwM
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE7JIMobcu
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yl2FYtnfj
"For you, yes because 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV73G5RUZJ
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQYYHXJTYA
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqK3oRSvcj
the mall?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9s2apglR9
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZfOa3gECr
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrQFNvWFTJ
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LG3CVCDb
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AJmTnhdWa
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPHmlVSJNu
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX82c9YUWps
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJqK4ZN9G
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VhKI8DdOr
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf2bs9iVsn
"I wouldn't worry about 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ607qsljsMW
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYAf3bZSvz
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMgeQvmTUu
"When a lady's fiancé 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0Z7oiQM4
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkoLfpuDgx
that there might be another woman."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzIuoCAZv
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNtedfCYEj
Angel felt like 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtajoje7m4C
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVmOG0AuZJ
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso0aDMtBzP
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92c7c5HYFH
"Well, what do you 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVICagQ8Of
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVVlKcbTEx
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtB8bD9l8
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOpUjzLtAY
Kim for good."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcRiWusEDb
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHskbepUE98
Angel placed the book 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iK8lSc8fc
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh2EiW7BiL
started to wheel herself out of the room.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N39ObtG8U
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrDWdN8yE
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OqG9Dmn2q
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpdNywhfaW
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdeq0WbT6L
"You want me to move on 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2p91vtnZ
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqRb5pJvqT
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUNgtwstf
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCTMsyqPe1
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD22wtrYM3L
"What?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGFT6OOten
Carly felt powerless as 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau17viUrxe
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDp1DudDO
on her chair so as to look at Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsut48xiDY
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyffYHhcn
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGikp0VVPkC
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a2Emq3JJf
Carly felt her knees 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRc6lxctzp
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF7GoaIAV6
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FBpWRrO2
lost and confused.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vOfYWQrc
"At least you now know 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF2lFPVkLf
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb80JgQaj0A
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzWE9ZyY3B
to or else that would've killed her instead."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1xupdZ1jZ
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRxUAVPozA
"But it's the truth." 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzmPevm0cD
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZL9QKNRTd
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JrhECPdsq
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xE0gGKo6a
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBOm1Yl6Ml
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yt7uxZ94q
Angel looked on at 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCa7gjwuKP
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjyWEVyfP
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vnxctcro
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3VJJpHJ7O
sister anymore.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqWVc8UDzJ
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPbYeXIrO
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdkyhejC69
Angel flinched by the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgOtbkBc0r
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjdrieISFZ
hadn't heard their whole conversation.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z4Lt9cOm0
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.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxrDFuUcto
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSONh5F8BXF
Amanda continued to look727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BjZ4tYA5f
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKgkSIB9sf
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK32dwemQZs
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl9piZjqwm
"Well, you should have 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFCfq0N6q3
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVR2HIZl3w
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJyxehw4u5
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzF1HyAOxb
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPWWyenNM
"Of course."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkrNESlsUQ
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlP2rZ8ysJ
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DEJ3yV44B
"Well, I better go and 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhld2x1yML
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg5Ddt4vhD
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmJLaONN8
my best behaviour."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU17pO5VHE4
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dlnJZXg2S
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtpKI6uMgo
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkB6pl1gZO
"You're right, dear. I'm not."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7OX3X5PPP
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLVp4PGGWY
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH3KSvm00u
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve6YO2mlYb
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cBcyiWVJS
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D4YCvoDPb
Carly looked at Angel 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1nPd5lFw
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CvykaFrrZ
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKil5mhchzw
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQu3iF2NUy
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEc2T52XZ
"What should I do?" 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZEtRhh6cY
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFZrH1sNA1
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyMRSZs4AM
dinner."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdjn5hBm1
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxhSmlj51A
"Are you serious?" Angel727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ9RasySpX
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDst0F5mEI
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuSx6b94l3
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgZkhbVe2
"I wouldn't like to know727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0awg4Hs0Cy
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLvmBD5er
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v1LvHLDSB
future."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RAipdbQ2
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaVYVGes8d
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TKSNOfPa0
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHbE1dmBNk
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Q11s7BnI
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tdcpxEltn
Carly almost gave a 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDZLpw3Vh3
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UMNUK3bGC
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzHkhXH6Ys
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfUV8BYWhz
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaEUjujeYt
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicx01uUsEq
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB2bNgFP39
Amanda turned her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xYULC1Hti
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuXtvo0mP8
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC233LBt6A
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIEfp5RRfC
"With what?" Angel asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBtfo6X7Ce
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mky1mU33N
"Carly, you aren't going727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6gqC87RG
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtbP22JgW2
backside. You don't want to make it worse."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gQ1Xe35ou
"But aren't you scared?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPiKAVCJgZ
Angel raised her eyebrow727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z3Ie4HfoO
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC585cMurd7
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2kpL0IoR
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo9MSNZToJ
"I'm glad you've changed727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWw60oxtyB
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h9Ut7yjde
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF0AlLGH4v
would be a problem."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiUG3dNnZq
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUrBdExlt
"It's none of my 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcirc9C3GMA
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0is02hBpDv
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5bv9iUk9U
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNJu5MYkcK
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8XPPBAQm
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPC1fRVY2
When Angel left the 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSW84fzEWU
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 727Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQs3f5oC4B
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
