Leo had a smile on his 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HfVcR2XgG
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gRIoA5poT
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86tSQXoTn5
face right in front of him.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrulhs80hQ
It was morning and the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5jDYkFgL7
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUSA86KR2
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPM0To8VM
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zbFBILMVY
brilliantly in the morning sun.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDXctsqSyG
Carly had joined him 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PwSo9Aq02
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vXxCh4G17
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu7hXVlI9S
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7ekOcb0vU
birds, of course.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrmBNNkOja
It was good she came, 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEBrUr5ke
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92k4AdyQ6N
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5CSMugy7s
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJmHvioqz
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRReh5uVGLS
He stretched his hand 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bhf88Aj3P
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgJe78Jp5G
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmp8VlTBtQ
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB4ytoAlUT
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46S5UglCGf
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWNFbXmCRz
She didn't respond as 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixewtyh3V
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDMLJGsv5
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEmdaVTt7y
himself. Leo chuckled.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SMLOKXpmT
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEQE54Rora
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT1bdsPSwF
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpicYWnY30F
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYD2jqx7F
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2N5UDp8b1
"You're right. But I 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPNzVYX6w8
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbWf3YDoM
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lmIJj9aET
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3LtWoisPI
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEswKRaB9q
They both got out of bed627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYLtdAkEDT
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXG6HuoBW
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOmKKSZHpE
way to Carly's.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOJk2OIXT
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3MzjsHz2
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDci2atHVZ
Carly gave him a simple 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl4TSnVUGV
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuFX3ZZzC
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwkiT1N5kr
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4il8c0oTH
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV82JpJAJYI
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6D8A11xeY
He made his way 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbYmqdvK4f
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXLHf6iVK
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5debNxzoWV
kitchen.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZBWQCPeIP
He wondered who could be627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0JevjbTi
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI8EJcxfdk
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFpKfxlA0v
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGioqjfoOsd
little.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgXmCxC9p
Angel was standing by 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1pBQ0on7
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreNT1ptDLp
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHytthj1G
thing that shook him the moment he got there.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqEi0IPmd
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkaYnXob0
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ouYTZPXf
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXzTTuzmc7
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXts06gTEYH
"I just had to."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE01k0TzW2d
"Ummm," Leo still 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBYs8vabNz
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gyxOjgjPA
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKYCf70q0a
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33HHTwFJj
The coffee maker soon 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbPTCfy77w
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vbu6hHse0
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ798DJvmLOo
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiAzzhw037
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCDu9PcvrV
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIH7JZboz5
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTczPcMGCbv
"Why? You wanted me 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW2KEkpJ0e
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3RZmDiqVT
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMMUMx6FDj
a cup.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTMzllO8fn
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor7jvnQnjh
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6bcIL0MuQ
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpwae2SFjg
"You still don't seem 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UF5aglrMm
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePDIxJJRva
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vkoSxFtrF
things."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ7oDVvbLi
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL4TxTXkiG
Angel took a sip of her 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt1GeLK8BW
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE0qyVGVLs
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDg1YygCK
spent her night with you."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MOyZ5TSw7
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk3GJLMonu
Angel smirked and Leo 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6W5iqniJy
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7asYI5hTL
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiRtqoMAxa
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArLxTKCXk
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh7fo1YVZ5
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITpKb13xyT
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeet6fBGq2Q
"You're right, Leo. It's627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjgCIBQp14
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CAzYf9IQq
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvZrdEbYt
have any control over."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoL5hqSmb0
Leo was a little shocked627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXucCsGg8e
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUaaIeuotl
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSD3D4BhHU
game?627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz2Hd6NzpY
She slowly made her way 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMdt5rBZ2F
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZroFTJPj8
look at her and something came up in his mind.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ugmNn0Tk
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrVDoaxq0m
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MfFXm4yGN
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42W4sookV6
"The time you came into 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhbGkU0G5w
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7xsYfjjUe
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcD8sgxgnK
Angel smiled at Leo. 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH08AQ3amE
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqT9laVYL2
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJaWSnxx5I
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhA6SgPHF
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMgelRJGPv
"I don't believe you."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbONutaieV9
"You don't have to, Mr 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1StFy3jVU
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s8HTHZH4H
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYoetrm7I
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv4v3A1BQU
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9JPMqFiP
"I'll be heading out for627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFR5RmZPbR
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTIX5VG2LW
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWLHv6V0S0
Leo didn't have to 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVbFI5xgeW
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMpabsU0xK
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwRvyntYF
her.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bKkuuOOH
Leo stared at the closed627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8MSJowBW
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RT3l3kH0
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpN9TFhHQA
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4aZMYRaI6
utterly disturbed.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYibzcQk80
***627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBO8YRiz2c
In627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb2Z4Gt05T
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkiYhbht68
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFNvJa3ES
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLh1GZ8SSN
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFhWs3VHnb
"Morning," said Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQYp8tQTsP
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyd72PdF0f
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4rNhD7Rdi
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF8OErQR59
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHcjE4dNuW
"And627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXprjJe2CFr
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MfYWC4S5S
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwB2NfTJMm
"Do I?" Leo asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9jeVGsLNT
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZTsUl9d0D
Leo627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlW6i5B8qp
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy26vxn5I8G
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOm0IX22l
knew the reason too.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9azggs0B5x
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ6jdwLxs5
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Df7CLOoz
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiL3XKqQxk
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHTgBSlAZ
"Lovely."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEf514j9uX
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsCW0rAkLB
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcUjEZl1me
Upon627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtEU79M9K0
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2l5uLSFBD
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBcUI9lD1K
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfkCrBCI8H
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoZEzgEI7p
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQbUXjvQk
Eric627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoSP8jKRW8
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1j2kWo8V8
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt8WFJwtZ8
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0pE4e0hca
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykSCBIJlq
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNnFvudRn
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU8BysB1wN
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GtbAd0ab6
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj6lgb36fe
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4hYVUCJIO
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMekRFdWew
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1P4Bju9Nn
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTUyWb7fA0
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhShPplcYU
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aH5hxSajJ
Leo627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPfT1C7F1
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFkDQXUkYn
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2nSHslB9K
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAUb4koDEo
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLScI9VvfMb
Angel627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzocdH9Xw7
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXjkqh3nF9
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw469GKtxx
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPPJ5FW3K
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtPIQ93VAY
"I'll627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFH3F8qdLV
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fgxaUYOI5
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUylAsKkwR
"Yes, I would," said Angel.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B3XJZvEkE
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yX662FAXO
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hMgqteLhj
"Yes, I'm not."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpW53pHiAq
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcvbGLkonn
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEgY0gRfTx
"Yes, I would."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMor8YuAsV
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFKlBcgv6A
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KQazfEBq
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LVAOpYvMY
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbwUaAJB1i
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1tPmKgea
"Yes."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm08UPKuvIb
Leo627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNe1vSPpjg
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjNjxMper
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uto25jA95
talking about Angel.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lg1UPODO
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei8Ao37tau
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfU0DlIV98
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8glYPUeI7
Before Angel could find 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3hrYjARy
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjloS1EL1Wh
seeing her sister, standing on her own.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg5B5fPUyg
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbiI1YlcdI
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyTwNQ8Oev
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWMhgziXJg
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."627Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxNsjPADbt
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
