Carly walked in through 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlQqcWnAFZ
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeHrumf7bI
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTJtZLrS6
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz76oYbWEp
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKtGNIBBSz
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8fRk7tgB1
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESeQUsROPg
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgwp6z4KSG
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRjK2vRl03
"Have you already eaten lunch?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1DdOtAl5l
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LFz8yedN5
"Looks like the shopping did you good."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvbBATQZD2
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyjzIUeMzu
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhb2PneGh7
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXmKUAbOt3
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3alX2xLenA
"In the study?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIR53AC8u
"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."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc9cRtfl4X
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOau7K4DfTT
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WWjBQGaM
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtYs0HRFG
"I know you're supposed 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKgdWmRVoE
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSm3FyWfGX
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX31Jm4AG8
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqWDA5W8eO
Carly felt herself 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRnclWAQ3d
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIp9aXnYeZ
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gqnrp9dgJ
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ667tSGbt6c
her that.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJX0YoB74a
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXT50a3W8J
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ZXJCbyQA
Just before the two 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLfnYpo3B
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgkzAaRZWv
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXTwH8sZL4
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwI0C1Yx7C
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVVXcdpIsS
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlYawsgn2S
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo7oyMAckj
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcdbKXvHJh
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6a3suLvb
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAZ0cQ25Nd
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4N5oYyWE
Carly went on her way 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQcHNG9x1l
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqy8iCXtrW
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZHMhfpR4
from Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusGugosINZ
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR726SKKyZl
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2FYgHKqF
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO4o4hPkEO
Carly couldn't hear 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3jYjBMRSc
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaVDAaRA0Q
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0djOKax0b
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPVuGBLzq
Before she could get to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTS7PnGt8A
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGrbGqNjGY
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsOTAM2q8S
She opened the door to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSCn2Ysati
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpQquu2vY
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmAkC5jeDA
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6jvpHXaj2
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlXS0ZFVQM
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbqh4iZ88s
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSAfa905nH
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZjXep1Bfo
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9suUom3vx
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0nf2KIxLu
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAH0qbYagA
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm8UibsWcS
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMrsVMGamW
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPYyRCJxd3
"How has been your day?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVTzS8IJLN
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxbtsAbmvc
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWez0DmdWZF
facing her sister.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFPRoziRaC
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB050nOxjyk
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ235zg2DdRA
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoc9BO93nU
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4UmaRuxzx
Angel faced the glass 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyyck1nK7e
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWCGAT4RFd
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJj6A9Okz
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Ims8f0Mp
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGm6DKF7LZ
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGQlOWKenN
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsAsIIASo
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb4gjWgcw8
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1kMYCoVO
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Y9i6t54M
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMvPGKhrAt
Carly's mouth fell open 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw7n1AFUZn
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqPPOq4MTe
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIiIDH2C2v
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LB5RzY0p
"Do you think I would 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesJ0Zh0ah
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sQ4p63gcm
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JOCkoz03s
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiEvELWyHT
"For you, yes because 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1alxoc8T3
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyddp8hhCX
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PImNJVA63
the mall?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVSxBvDRM
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6kGrJsC0X
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgou7DsagLD
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5cfXUZpnf
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OUFwnG7nS
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFdI7yvUf
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPX1LPQg8d
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxOHpoVeAL
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXR9wp5fnv
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww42JWGvNN
"I wouldn't worry about 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYj86fP6p
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWC71o48eh
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZDPDwgJH2
"When a lady's fiancé 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeZ8eqh0jC
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnJxNXPEfU
that there might be another woman."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNuXMHtRmL
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rzvrr09G7
Angel felt like 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSmeDbZUk5
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiUAaOQQK
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqLPp6TA2
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBjz8cyWj8
"Well, what do you 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjEIGmYwdV
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9k1lnrBgE
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8sOqIiOOF
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQmwcMRmJY
Kim for good."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxGsrifm5r
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA2rFRvJea
Angel placed the book 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbGTWjzLMw
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK27A0mGeE
started to wheel herself out of the room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbVddVFMv
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45MW9jiSB9
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvIZKPq12B
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnSFuYAgrB
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K3803nDc6
"You want me to move on 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaZyWhfins
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRniRagV9r
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfZVF6Fowb
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEybIxONT3h
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBak3Bqaofv
"What?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZMlG2doS
Carly felt powerless as 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS48bCQOXL
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fh10eG8UY
on her chair so as to look at Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnrDYRHgSl
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEyVXXIXXj
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmgb78ret2
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyShFHsk84
Carly felt her knees 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF14McUcvb
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVs5kqnAfh
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDFKAVZ7fK
lost and confused.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Aw1L2FnB
"At least you now know 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI1wLN1wLd
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcsjgkniF7
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGySwqcG9Dg
to or else that would've killed her instead."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ363lwA97bF
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Z54HQqYh
"But it's the truth." 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpqbWFpmGg
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1A26hI9pE
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4yEvbuluV
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUjMbQY7CE
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXcNiWlkpp
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAqD020JAE
Angel looked on at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6DMczRlec
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP5vsbLeZd
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupwmO9uPSd
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdWdwdADne
sister anymore.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHlGqPyD0i
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4jju3mIo
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLvfiecDWt
Angel flinched by the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXaBMXuFDG
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumxIZf7SeX
hadn't heard their whole conversation.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNItzvuAl1
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweg8karfae
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfzMdcRrp
Amanda continued to look654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbtV5dKfRS
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oJsNSgvdJ
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrDIxGc9tW
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUWMLzHI8y
"Well, you should have 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtMBpf8eZA
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzJ2rfD9Ms
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LMzywJk4p
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VvbzCDvQs
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX78W1fekmM
"Of course."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiNd5QVhcj
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i2aRkbQim
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePLVBMF0H7
"Well, I better go and 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AGJlGcxko
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE983h1yCL
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx9PX07KSc
my best behaviour."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXUcPJi3oo
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2lLBDTPuP
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PCUwcAiIi
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f3PK6PskV
"You're right, dear. I'm not."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle3oXn39CV
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3zIcMYyRP
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVowBCKhxs
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInKakjBTy
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cGnfa1qWb
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSo2d6ao4F
Carly looked at Angel 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSErS08XIlc
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m62HfNQ36
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYq87MhrWI
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO2auU81rA
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeP8JWiShq
"What should I do?" 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3v1DUKWn0
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYDrD94IQO
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTk4O1p9Pp
dinner."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEvWNSogZ
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE963LzXF9q
"Are you serious?" Angel654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrGnzjMQBT
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9MGFT5af5
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhEzuPWubq
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjece1an9X
"I wouldn't like to know654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyiioLbfm
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8u6nsWjL2
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJk16hrpSw
future."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh1H10aFY4
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFL8WlVTH5
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG3FWpZgWn
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDgMaYOQIU
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGx7CbebmA
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOh3fZPMPU
Carly almost gave a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjotwBZQxgr
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx84wFEp0sj
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOCLDgTkqH
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPYyAqCePP
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxySPFp58sz
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxkZmw43wX
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0L573uGfi
Amanda turned her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKthVo9Lwf
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONX48CkeIs
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IrajDtE2g
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9IvKQniyH
"With what?" Angel asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPIieHJpy
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9F3zL6DPr
"Carly, you aren't going654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9aW3g8doh
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb2nbrW57e
backside. You don't want to make it worse."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLkDvLKPdT
"But aren't you scared?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb0qaYnBTw
Angel raised her eyebrow654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzyzbSe0Cz
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8mPqjmXp
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhILNkLN0BW
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSk2E6FN2
"I'm glad you've changed654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bVh0e1OXV
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfmnivPhW
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4rRZwjHOQ
would be a problem."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMGjwc2Xy
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJr2d3C90o
"It's none of my 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpD04eI54N
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJkdyl6PV
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruMGeDKL3v
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTYLoWzpL3
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1heQ0QsK
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKHT1MDB7N
When Angel left the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo167uAxww
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZPav5ySmk
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
