The phone alarm woke Leo693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XyXPAoQAx
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagGkBuU0N0
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeTCNCicXl
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PFYNh7qGK
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXtEfc0o4
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HLw5IbXSJ
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6wkQFg80j
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yyomOStrY
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctT6e7wIHj
After taking a shower, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDzNZuEVo0
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMxc2MYXb
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQpLVaQNU6
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnccjaflF4
ever. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrNEyWysBS
He soon went out of his 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCc8xhZMmL
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG744kCqkKW
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqDnYOOg7
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEu7X3fX7Y
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz39eRDlxIq
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9JSYeT04O
him.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbymsP1Ak
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJIAOh4TYh
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5NhZYQBz
"Don't ruin the mood by 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJKcUB6U75
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4b9faMkf6
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ430m1FucOp
Leo smiled as he 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmbrNGpJi1
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umTNRQDKb
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtpiHOrAHo
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYq5tco7Cr
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeSAEkFpIU
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWYgXhDsir
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xpqg8MzE
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9ZNjKBYX
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUzK8t1k7K
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYjMLZxYI
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX4HtvwJvA
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYrnHqpD1
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGjIild3Fv
"She is, actually," said693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKpatW9EaH
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvx0y5Q6Yd
anything to you. You have me around."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMG9ih2dzy
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVRLXFrsLK
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25s8v72FKu
Before Carly could say 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8NTssWyo3
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU51YebHzi
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXCroJyAC9
"What was that?" Leo asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxON0cOaRX7
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssSCMOVUeE
Carly got to Angel's 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVStlQFf8U
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPo9SFTZBz
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6RGSFHSuv
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJMiQsEhbk
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JQyzvtaMo
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnlxTvF2UJ
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjfNXE9XV
"You know you're not 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdg4ej4TIu
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGEdNhJSYo
for help. You never change, Angel."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf050EUPLzQ
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HZ7pqWuWr
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpUfQZBqVm
"No thanks, I'm fine."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCgjCNUhq1
Angel went on to look at693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLURxq85Ep
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGhCt1cq9h
then she went on to stare at Carly.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFCbpQ2OUP
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b1eCnnlyn
Carly paused as she 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA29aK3cgD1
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeqwXlavIS
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUSOWf4RNt
Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF53ntEakLF
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyS1fgkjKP
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstToUlSpIa
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9i1ePHWbI
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm3LOUxcfX
hurt or anything."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyzUJfMEXv
"May you please drag me 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrIpwUMLCx
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu1S3GFCn7
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv74uG8PJxp
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDUUNyJH9A
"Just like Carly said, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLspRSj9Q
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe28vzruxj
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwl9FGWLla
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPV9i8pkT
The room soon had an 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8e3O5ZJwm
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZXG3uzajl
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfNaf3tkvi
awkwardness.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VYKJXmnpn
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFWRIykE5H
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcyFpzD0ha
"Sure."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgtQieRsw
Leo stared at Carly 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjmVgzJgAf
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS6tUT9uTb
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0cX7b0JHR
avoid any more problems.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQGTm9x5Hp
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqEa7RLvor
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9s5U2H6BH
"Tea would be lovely, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik7KmNQzzY
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2USjA6RFs
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35bFjvXe00
could have helped you."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFDGuqbKPb
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yAcHCBptB
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNWLRJv7bC
Carly gladly smiled at 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QxklgyAL
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22wEMdhADf
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M1JKtrH0D
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdZIfD5LEj
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbmatAh7PY
And Leo? It was strange 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LYcmMDoCu
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUWtM5mdGY
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzQebSOMF3
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ79qO55k3
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQad6idNQ
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IcfE6XJjV
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ362BDMaTI2
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xeRDb5gSW
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYbYfyr9J
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf1jSl1RPn
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ObxPwmu2s
While Amanda and Angel 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYZsS2VyJS
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz1q6BWbxn
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoLJpharfB
at the door.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ZlIqw4ju
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKYO2X3XBJ
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUYqD0jcg0
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8gStT7Fv2
"No, she didn't." Carly 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv3mqIGvfJ
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjN00lFA1
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKcbTkSxus
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtuGwFpBNO
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHU9KDLIa
"I don't care about 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuJhPSHAuV
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wiO1tUh0M
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwKZD0esY
are real."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ63WEAHlK
Carly smiled and she 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybJ1FUPwFW
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmukcex5S
that she didn't want him to let her go.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5LTcny6E
She quickly turned 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yzX1UBCNX
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLY9XNmEM
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7djmfsLrF
They would freak out."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznND0F51Qe
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJob3wtBDjr
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzST7omFmL
Leo continued to look 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrMEb55jDa
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HtGO5G2h
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeAqVeHt0v
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGsuv9iYSi
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOify77nIu1
"What's going on here?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInVkPS36EK
Leo and Carly almost 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2PG7QZBP2
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXmByLa5II
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk3mREYEcZ
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97duX7RRRv
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGrAV0pgkh
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjVciJAoNN
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDEJDL6H3d
"For Amanda and Angel."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd9VHPRQN7
"They are both awake?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK5LxdMOqg
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59gJy5sjdD
Mrs McDonell looked at 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6mDkDdbS1
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAnB9i0cSX
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvQGBGd8vy
off.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgvXkuuUNb
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aYFSPr7g
Carly took the tray 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCKXZFbcP
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B30fZW3qP
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp9qggehzM
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvB3lWiPyX
corner.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2uMCZkcuR
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ0qLoZOnL
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb95v7UJRs
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7HFit0tPN
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxvYX6e5V8
Leo made his way to the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VUcQwgzdI
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF93BWDg6aw
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvJ1ThW17M
By seven, almost 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuklHC5pi
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfvAYQxww
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RAVryLsk
the lovely smell was intoxicating.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp8Dfouu09
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xf3aEs6LJ
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrfJgV3GTg
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ygJ6Xg7q7
time to go to school.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjPRLNXjEN
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n1C3bZ61A
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPw8pJgKD
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqumTlm4thZ
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyizcNxpqnE
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwGa2QhEYn
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcueFP60uz
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXMkXgUF7
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMeWjVFfXr
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLG4HzXuRv
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SCM1SRC6
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiLWHWrtDG
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIoq1sYSSP
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCJKMfr7VU
them.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3goSl1a0b3
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamEOZHBQcR
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtA7aOGDtP
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFZqlxa1Or
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunCrqXg4lZ
"Right," Leo replied.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDXmuTbvNq
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnTVgwCOv
Just as they were about 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLw0AySUfP
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMRYRmmzhL
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51um67g2uW
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJyU99a9mC
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZoncChbn
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzR6fmjJSn
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx306WWuGT
Before Leo could reply 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyrzNW1ZUk
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPuWs2dVg2
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoonkvDxiOq
looked away feeling irritated.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYAkQcA5Sr
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK41y3KW9ie
Everyone else on the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJp2N97ATv
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86JUebiLoj
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcqyEFvRYZ
except Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr8dicHFVa
"This is just lovely," 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAqbYai3zw
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzQhsGSf5c
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qGInGU9p2
really early."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUoFABYVHz
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YMdN3igLJ
"Your wife isn't here, 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7EjjBl0T
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGzIJI6The
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrGa5fyGtA
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpyci1Oumi
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqMeQ5DVb0
Angel almost spelt the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgHiSQpQ2L
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWbnottoE0
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4jZ3xmVz
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFBrTRRnFp
just ran a hand through his hair.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXhYRbpysO
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV53TrA1l0
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA744cLIaS
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSz6EbCKds
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gYl10dMtP
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0vcVpiJ4X
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43z8mww6Lb
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdROvCq9LbW
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwF0H4E6By
"Have to go to school," he said.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4etarieF2k
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt2rMQJSuT
Oliver came round the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOpbSSRpTg
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfNnExJhm
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnePCnLaqki
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5IPiyJBBQ
ears.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Rmbpga12
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy7f8Ik1JC
"So adorable," said Carly.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM8Sa2f5Bv
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo27E0RJhC
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWvnshGs0D
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCULpde0od
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6vnYweSYM
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAP2EmVP85
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMp97OKCPG
"Well, I do."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SGQA5mG38
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqRgnh1dJI
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv5q61znyI
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6H1Za4q7k
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgGZA3ZiG
"I'll find you in the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADtNCvxJO
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6oWOED3Yp
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY9jRei2Hs
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveTwsYsAxb
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlccSGb4paH
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtCdFAsNN1
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpEl13qPtz
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JI1p6lznw
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDCZ4GnKcp
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhF1NOT9Ox
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SQuY8tTl
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Y1mMd8Kq
Before Carly could 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSZX3s3itg
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr0eMCSPrA
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ne1gSb4Mn
interested about what her sister was up to.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb1V7gEO6n
"I'll join you," said 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyhKhMOQeA
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKVM7OqbhS
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGF8dQo6L0
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzOhXQMeF5
"I'll go get ready," 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PSMC1O1CL
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJEpglKK7i
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEolgnRZckP
times.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzPCnGLtbQ
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFNXw6U7da
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs07IognQ2
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzp0WbcMqz
The last thing Leo 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVc8KrEumi
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S7txv3iTE
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49AXIoWL2v
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6sSY0TXh
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh9CtLnsv7
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqcMf7lIMI
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLhgxvDiCk
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cF5GL9LP0
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYrWO5rUb
"Yes. It's really 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTUi0TMQCO
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM0ffxOOAW
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGOOD3iQMX
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQpJgGRnWP
since I'm so old."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUELsU1bpHV
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93tc4SRFSk
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCEfRPGN6W
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaROX1vXZsL
Leo sighed. He looked 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwimTzXgi6z
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiNCz6z0Fn
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfPJJAQMsq
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdackPS46vn
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTt8dFHp6x
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
