Leo had a smile on his 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9CX33d3R
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84WkH30aI
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2VTTRK8iJ
face right in front of him.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalFdw23IMr
It was morning and the 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYojGd9vBS
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUAEvIwff
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhyZljUNQ
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWETjmfORL
brilliantly in the morning sun.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZHKv8NebS
Carly had joined him 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgKeDxpch
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsfHU3SLln
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVp0sASYN
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeflqnBp0Fh
birds, of course.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWgDFCSuSG
It was good she came, 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZypZmy8OSB
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmr9HWA3rk
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VpXCam53a
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeCM8HFGIe
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZbRf1dUO3
He stretched his hand 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0fPXdw9hS
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC1AukZBQs
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPEly5IVsx
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdvygUdSjP
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItD2tdkO5z
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lIANRWzKe
She didn't respond as 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbzxNw7IfK
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBgAe7QtWz
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jbso0gpG6
himself. Leo chuckled.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2iC6Qe0E
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F44da0cpm
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp5QmEBNYz
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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQtCyjGtRQ
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKnh8kBDD7
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakxlAZ3Hi9
"You're right. But I 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bq8vobz9N
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwbphgIvdO
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTk4Jz7yuF
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcxMTBkNK
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU252BNltsm
They both got out of bed596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M612A4G5N
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPMyL2czbo
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClvJ1tTuQq
way to Carly's.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMW3fMvCKP
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYGgUfCzk
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX0hElijtV
Carly gave him a simple 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVqMVCOYg
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGe8YOI8Sj
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixN9pHgIGh
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAObF4LVSG
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4loyFz73US
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGeOZRajYE
He made his way 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXeDCawu6k
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZsRY6NwP
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkEeOfJGTl
kitchen.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFKsHssvxl
He wondered who could be596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1nFgL1haQ
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarpaMh7UM8
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KrvirrZgL
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWcC8FyBN
little.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWl3DdFovV
Angel was standing by 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI7TiT8PYu
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2DCnAy9ik
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktruVUCUkh
thing that shook him the moment he got there.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrCKZojG8N
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb1XTcKSum
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OMRlQUmWX
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj52oX24w1
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQMj9Lukq
"I just had to."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrooNgWCWa5
"Ummm," Leo still 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0J9xIjH4l
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6VlUgaG9t
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UHeFhbPms
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypcgShtHxd
The coffee maker soon 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCB3bDqBNQ
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS22cmmKl9
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiNVTnCFOe
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF8pAfGMyd
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRMgwep2W
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c6rjvuJeJ
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S7o3VKvDG
"Why? You wanted me 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrJ1tHdPSr
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZIEa2NiA
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7UfgaOE2v
a cup.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTJZav9tPY
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptr5Y1lpBH
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2nkGhmziD
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXUB5SZrKn
"You still don't seem 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed9CRXQwlj
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY43EWd1lyK
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TcRyGxKk
things."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtlQ292xQE
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F8bFyrPIK
Angel took a sip of her 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua7p16pCV1
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mz62wEsEt
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYKwyntT43
spent her night with you."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKm08QoMmI
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJlnUzxmZl
Angel smirked and Leo 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMcuIfUKpP
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh3Yo0UpgU
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTZwtCXlfN
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb5Ymga3ZW
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTszqg46uy
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWz1s9yEmu
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhfaYrsIG
"You're right, Leo. It's596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7zcXtUlg6
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A81RkQWG6
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoow34USepQ
have any control over."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe9igBA8yT
Leo was a little shocked596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sTK20hTl
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGRtBoa1B5
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVtF2cKnxU
game?596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyAhvxsHZD
She slowly made her way 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDl2G88zbS
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxQfAkRe60
look at her and something came up in his mind.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwjmcs6Waz
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA9h4TyR2y
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00WmDg48d4
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfGviqStAW
"The time you came into 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQIpyXwJKy
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7KbopFead
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jQEceCNxF
Angel smiled at Leo. 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oVvKODbb
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAPMBnJnrN
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6WnM1Sxpg
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn2FEFDpxj
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwzRjtmzrK
"I don't believe you."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rfXcAKHWE
"You don't have to, Mr 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwUN6fCNn
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ119NZGu6tm
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4YWtexS8B
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXK3TYvxX
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF37PTyTY3
"I'll be heading out for596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOcGn5Z8dB
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QJuTGbffo
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNGNaCDZDm
Leo didn't have to 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdGZgSkhdA
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNTpSz3dW4
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG69BfidyGr
her.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGp1559E8G
Leo stared at the closed596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9JlvnOU4S
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZ7Fzj6sc
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0QZ6HOMwq
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgzl1NKaM5
utterly disturbed.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCzN5KJe6S
***596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1k7pX3geU
In596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjUicnZNY9
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUznHuGreV
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTZZFzP2fl
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zq68xqLdA
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAfonsD8q
"Morning," said Amanda.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHBlv51yA
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYcc4WGb1E
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKo7Sg45u0
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ejP2RnnR
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetXu6C3dwk
"And596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaFAckM6MY
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHipTj9XUJY
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiaPMcolw8
"Do I?" Leo asked.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXD4oTQRyc
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB022PImBo
Leo596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc9keHZfi4
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOrqkGKC8W
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeiw7aEAgR
knew the reason too.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFODVPWqVi
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoJe7eKVp6
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HTpEmUtAC
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzVjRmNAkP
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaxLOrR8CC
"Lovely."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53dgTKyKT
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUf4W0r6jg
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD34AvTGZBd
Upon596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo5qFmicKA
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl5ndPC53G
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh71JJPFXl
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxQ9wPRElJ
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JOmOYnluu
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7461JaXgc
Eric596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAaBlruuPW
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqKA0SxQOx
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4fWraiQW
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ZbdHEN9i
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDOcXEVz93
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxQka8vPgs
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmG1n66FU
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c8p587BX5
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImd1fm8cJ
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM5CcKfUZj
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQovJhDXewv
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh9ZvXTyPg
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLcgANmWXd
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tf1CniSuR
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOSCzduh5
Leo596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBBYKUQvzB
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdqfTvoxrc
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8L7fJjh9i
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kxzqAFOWv
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcT8msy2uy
Angel596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMekiVSXgsA
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNz2toOIGh
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwzB6qGbF
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBxe5rKKB
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WfbMu0EUy
"I'll596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA3b0Tc69f
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlE7o8UPkO
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNnGjyyh7q
"Yes, I would," said Angel.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtu1srNhk
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PYfqxDb5r
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXmgW7xIWr
"Yes, I'm not."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWLdt0Xd5k
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8vhe5vmUe
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DGGJAcpQz
"Yes, I would."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7l3KV7QAj
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqf2F4O3Eq
"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."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrngP9DAj
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWErIzbh8Ky
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOwZvnaJbF
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimVe1S2GLb
"Yes."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4h6OoNrER
Leo596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWaFRRxu6Z
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE26J6nxcl
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0HboD1mh
talking about Angel.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzAt5sDxki
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.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGPobxYd0q
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgJGQr69Tl
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQP9lqCPAr
Before Angel could find 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmNiqyK1X
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhK326RfY8
seeing her sister, standing on her own.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrgZfAyb0
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAYp8Kh6eC
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2sPImN70j
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEKOelcHC
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."596Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahm2YNseJZ
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
