Carly walked in through 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8q4mB84Wp
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8jDatWntM
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6k86FVSI
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sGbVC9G4C
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7xrkBruzF
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRa5kHgWE5
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uESY7DKS
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmzoI9wGBA
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtya0DS49
"Have you already eaten lunch?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vpOGWpMhO
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffyKDs52EL
"Looks like the shopping did you good."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpg34e7vBF
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKPqRXgnP
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupkuLsbju
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSroHtQwr
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg4pgu8Lop
"In the study?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLf7HXUlmB
"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."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtBGiX2Afr
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOXTNcJ9u
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSm9qs4gBP
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSgJMaM16w
"I know you're supposed 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mRPXCjXy
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81KpozSg48
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ029XgBM9tM
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ4NAm0Kgm
Carly felt herself 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYXvbQtTmK
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJYIF0KQzt
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvR5VLgyYW
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpfter37VE
her that.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gd4johfS9
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVubxGjfDlH
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqdQePJphU
Just before the two 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLzFu6eoqN
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1midBytPZq
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSAFfJghiB
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3vw91k9i6
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72mTEhsDtC
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUO4sTcGgK
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUF5J1wgG5
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxS1XWs3DR
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3djS9N3uGN
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6i0VEccyt
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uEDx1Jpue
Carly went on her way 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJOllP3kM3
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv7iJjxf3g
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArRSBKAaxN
from Amanda.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL5blj1Hs8
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhwLJCI89g
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2nHJTnsJQ
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2SC2LkSv
Carly couldn't hear 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOG01vnBL4
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7w8dpisD0
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGaWiUE677
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4C5tiG6Lv
Before she could get to 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs6sdlTofw
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvXfTZEN9j
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOhoIBH7GF
She opened the door to 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraeUqqDBLf
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijwmC69I7v
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzC14qb3L2
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrtYaBSxoT
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262mxeeTHJ
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJCMpmXlno
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtJWKiGlUl
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbazF51RMZc
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSkJlusLDy
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJogPnJZpKB
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7kjufOlsR
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDODg8zWcx1
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUviH5KE0T
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCT695s94J
"How has been your day?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb94VqTwgZI
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyVvVvpcZI
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzBfO6MPJU
facing her sister.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcharJY5qBj
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CD0zsTnSb
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM91PcPejGq
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4IHaynbrm
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zyvBFqJhS
Angel faced the glass 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3twYrsH2j
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ3LJ1Nsd6
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbpGF1ncO8
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQY38WSofG
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwwVOXAZ5j
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9syHZgO25g
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ539rjfDCjf
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE0WcJaq4r
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaM5Ga50IC
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xoGFqQPY7
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJMYXid2Dx
Carly's mouth fell open 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3kiEqYfKP
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZaOcIyUQd
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhPKhqAzIE
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuDIxaQv4m
"Do you think I would 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnncnXSsfpr
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBD0cpM8aO
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbvNQwJB2t
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYyThbV8Y9
"For you, yes because 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcWT6TeaEg
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZWgjxiH4d
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqn6xG0Hr7
the mall?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSV73hfDSb
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdnE5f8kI5
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoB6XMUmrD
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPrk4K2RXR
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCu3SZE9Sh
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIgTJJyztg
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwlvLfrfYT
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbOexlnW8
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGRjlUZsj
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRyglHu183
"I wouldn't worry about 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIidlOQ7qv
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnVBH2c0aR
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3igqqKxwnM
"When a lady's fiancé 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVsZtqcKXZ
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLtATgrAM
that there might be another woman."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3zqH6SfLF
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwgiXToaup
Angel felt like 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xdbsGHuda
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzAk5H9owc
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqI1nanxy6
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ7kHWH5V7
"Well, what do you 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXFnaKWrw
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQB17UOxJ
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDJg5pVIPl
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTowcEVfMw
Kim for good."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSjTdA28hw
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLBJtpbiQM
Angel placed the book 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtFzX2FD8n
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQans06by
started to wheel herself out of the room.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vJzt0BqEV
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOGDxMGS8w
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI8bN62JMd
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9WXUuMPTJ
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFzWXH9PFR
"You want me to move on 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM1xHFRQUX
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q1NYz0vAE
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeITE0VVMH
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCfXFr2kc4
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwuoRpRQ8S
"What?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILyCutz19l
Carly felt powerless as 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxRBERuxDK
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CsBS34MiW
on her chair so as to look at Carly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyKlbrzdW4
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVL1Scx5TA
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqgap12Xju
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV0KSvkkE1
Carly felt her knees 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAY7s2IRPN
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFDCa9MIwP
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ28aCItIZ1
lost and confused.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgXnQ8GNjh
"At least you now know 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHmwTZxOHy
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSdFJPFKqz
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xlNdYu8bD
to or else that would've killed her instead."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbq4aEcrP6
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaaUJwiMGI
"But it's the truth." 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RUyILFjnI
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBmeypuAas
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZliNQ6ypOV
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNLim9Cuhy
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3SgETAxVm
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmx14nSrix
Angel looked on at 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNdyPkBB23
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs0xUZ2B2r
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrOjNbOB57
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwQpxgb5zE
sister anymore.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e3Z7gjJn2
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhvxv5Jsup
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyhvAurIPM
Angel flinched by the 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XaUhmiuLi
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVNMXsGjNN
hadn't heard their whole conversation.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mNAeAwfJ
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.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1kPxMuGPm
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRvSfOLvoa
Amanda continued to look685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAM56hamp1
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡychixvO6jE
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X8fGGK9J2
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CqqLS48bg
"Well, you should have 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGfu7PXXk5
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EFPOAZzhk
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh2pp7LOZt
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLwtQAkwrx
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0zWZWHLkb
"Of course."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDUoyQumOx
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3FH8dqFPS
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNL8PBEOLJ
"Well, I better go and 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf7OUByh6T
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoD0UU94RV
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr3QutEXjj
my best behaviour."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3JQxaesx
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRpnDqagvq
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCGD9r7idm
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGHPQWihps
"You're right, dear. I'm not."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwCUisAmD
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQSYV8zjg2
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt1N6YaGdk
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztYxkkRa6A
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbcin4r0Us
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4KBuANvzY
Carly looked at Angel 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLSHi3ZLi4
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAb8w4RUw4
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvYW43so3a
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K3vDrYm07
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdSrACN4UI
"What should I do?" 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidz2w7Rtre
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BP7x1Olp
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniXpkrD8bJ
dinner."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg22zaPU7YP
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgYEnPUgDz
"Are you serious?" Angel685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHgGHglUhr
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQvDfV784p
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61PprjNY82
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl4vL4aaGf
"I wouldn't like to know685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1morwt5o4
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpY3N6QU1
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9giSYf6CPB
future."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU724s5FSAV
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsllEOma2E
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB4iLZtfej
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPd7ccgTTs
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxFatbywEa
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJMjVDDlBo
Carly almost gave a 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrh4qgk1di
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUDmj2yxt
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv3uaLpRI0
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi9JMeYYha
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNjgp4uQ1
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB5gXbVgMt
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoD2yiU31
Amanda turned her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMKkJRPa7
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0Ea3ApVa
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI75naR6uh
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIqOTosLQ
"With what?" Angel asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidR8BZTKvp
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6ZBtZkjy
"Carly, you aren't going685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPEGzcFtDJ
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgdBRZKje0
backside. You don't want to make it worse."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK47QkK1Dou
"But aren't you scared?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NKN4eyF7y
Angel raised her eyebrow685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE5HYO2sbt
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYn29ZPnZ
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZyChpnjNZ
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAIQ0iDq0
"I'm glad you've changed685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AMy6Sd69c
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCVMCahIw1
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPUIvNp6PI
would be a problem."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokofBDkSV
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YD19HFAmJ
"It's none of my 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4bv41B8W
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe86Q9d4q3
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbkjGC3j9
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzvgWGqIwi
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32xf0eq0ya
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouHkQdl89u
When Angel left the 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MkCYx417c
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 685Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmZ0z8X90J
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
