The phone alarm woke Leo653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSdy3phC00
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYXOClAzhp
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY9NYQZ6nT
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0muQ1i0k6A
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2evjtAeY8K
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimrg37U2xW
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRlaPbTt7c
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk2ocjf0V5
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEenyxf6p2e
After taking a shower, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLOHBu23v0
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUXG1nety6
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlljvfNq24J
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvPB2gb3MQ
ever. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXUq11yo1X
He soon went out of his 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTWP2cO28
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrzSHhUdQr
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5dQeWNYOI
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMT0G4fP2
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgZrYkn7g
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMu6kicIm
him.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05RwGaCpC
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGe47o2B7
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS6a9haQbw
"Don't ruin the mood by 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9kVdAPd3V
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX1Y7fC10h
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR8zrNAVt3
Leo smiled as he 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHkJFBMUt9
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ruJ9oiMB
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdeup2G18
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFvwxxqkKX
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4NifM0lAE
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYfn68HVkv
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3R4t4l04k
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNArXruZDP
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2z9DoVST9
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTD6mll9a
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdOyiuRnYK
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmtL9riAvf
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOzMDRXHFR
"She is, actually," said653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7P07LzMxS
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ZD4RjfPO
anything to you. You have me around."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPWo9x2YCb
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6dDVbxl6p
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEePIj6KaEk
Before Carly could say 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ofGqSJ28
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpHCan9KSR
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXPabkkrDS
"What was that?" Leo asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD8Dt74Mid
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhX605cSj
Carly got to Angel's 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zPkQxkqWj
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZBIl7eQl
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWydgiXSeY
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQHmjR00b
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cLptWNTg
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLw09mpMPL
"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."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBnU3qdE93
"You know you're not 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYVnAN6QQ
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx9pG5SdVR
for help. You never change, Angel."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7wLTOj2qB
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ6bRS37zy
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOgVWOhInK
"No thanks, I'm fine."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfe60FQjgf
Angel went on to look at653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GEAU2Iifw
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTIz4y6BgT
then she went on to stare at Carly.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZjbDOvmDs
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Tn2BdFvw
Carly paused as she 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8FSPVvVIu
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDBs2orpB
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tPMkap5GD
Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡManbMZhXxr
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbbuRbHJZD
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tn2yIXWd6
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55XMI5DOeW
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HeeZLIaU7
hurt or anything."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebe7qXdtx3
"May you please drag me 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJa3cRSqum
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9usrIEF2E
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepe5di5MfK
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfvz3rucXK
"Just like Carly said, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MXCK4Q5wQ
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qk39kaGRD
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW10YsYgcN
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31nZ87mVRW
The room soon had an 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hbu1l7RgB
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJXu45y6mI
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy2tmTroeF
awkwardness.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhdrE0EYqZ
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnL3WbHvUk
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJhITdEkhn
"Sure."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0UPS3wnD7
Leo stared at Carly 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnKFDTjxLU
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLyIEWZvPR
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6KDmkpZdl
avoid any more problems.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxf5NcByLJ
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onoRjEBmH
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZEcLkNC1
"Tea would be lovely, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNdFN0gG0J
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAdOIaxNNx
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zQGDX55yC
could have helped you."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWDwaBSo4
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2wedT4Dz
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYrGG5nPm0
Carly gladly smiled at 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXreKfhN9J
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ND2W7DLe
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAwCGFTtS
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ762mTzR2wK
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOdpX8HTVA
And Leo? It was strange 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDipBjwk3Ff
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNwicpdysq
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9LEDbR092
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbznt7UR6Xb
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN0JEE9j3o
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9uQHz15dA
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCJm4rGtFD
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ05MeCtrv
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy93XxBACJ
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtpTFR8mVo
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qyy2vO4zK
While Amanda and Angel 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4G0htYdMN
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2InEIHKF5z
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK8douhlPe
at the door.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBBm8yBrk1
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLLZnC9f6z
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6gZRJc18I
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FI0bqkkk
"No, she didn't." Carly 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HzpU2ainh
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuSGv4MHQ
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGVdHMq0Un
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh93xoTKim
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl6urIK1tb
"I don't care about 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ACGZDgRdx
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WKZjykuj8
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwSuLuaK7p
are real."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqnANtbd9J
Carly smiled and she 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWSyGw6w9
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmyZrjUQxs
that she didn't want him to let her go.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAMp91Sohw
She quickly turned 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbWCOAk04y
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtDAM7TAOm
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofT0ApMRw
They would freak out."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDSo1RrE8x
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUUQGWOIq
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2inVgWhXw
Leo continued to look 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzicxx64Aw9
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HEr5EGImu
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxSrkLGUJk
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbULIGIlNAg
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuFRmJnmL8
"What's going on here?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKafUl92L0
Leo and Carly almost 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXYq91SJnr
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1asI4muMBU
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKInungKR4
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc7HSF8NAC
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp4Q4XFNmL
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqwqVW1xs7
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks8RhrVOAj
"For Amanda and Angel."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mx7IQojBg
"They are both awake?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVJTohUd9y
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHrBpaDU65
Mrs McDonell looked at 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzApmrR9ze9
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNMbA0xoTE
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnv8TiiInq
off.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3lahl6MDu
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yyat3okkS
Carly took the tray 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW6H74WAX7
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXJch4e0Xc
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2exRynlxT
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mkgCoDmb8
corner.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaEi3LMzHp
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs66oz99yV
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCzwyRaVOM
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARfxcGueC
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ5UnKvuWs
Leo made his way to the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxTJUedKnE
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjJjHjNsSV
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9KL4Yxls5
By seven, almost 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb46T7pvx41
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YSQCcdhLX
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0YKxsfkn6
the lovely smell was intoxicating.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ydPGFtpXi
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecmwbdjRr8
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw7dStk1BK
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihn04c4D9w
time to go to school.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A8CatUX0l
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLxBKOaEWK
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtK4SsJP0M
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA5UTzIp0c
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFwvbJJBKn
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu86TVDvcj
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHto2UdWdQU
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm2DivG1LY
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GFu3HXLCr
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqra59w2BC9
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NeXtW4EPd
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiedG6Mz7n
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVakqxT3sFg
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgdPHETp7m
them.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRMyMsRGr0
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m6iBTplHF
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHjWEpdrr
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAykxrUTrzp
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjJX2L1RGu
"Right," Leo replied.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo56LOZQswv
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.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSax8P6mSZ4
Just as they were about 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAGws1KnQN
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzATxyQsewS
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkA6j1WlN4
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKgxh6sdI
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHawRPDRrfc
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyF8bdGNkC
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZN0845uFO
Before Leo could reply 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvIWGfJINQ
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ0IlR9KCx
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiiY1xXtmQ
looked away feeling irritated.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3M2HCld56
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkROIkDJUo
Everyone else on the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCdKga5xsG
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mTsO5Xs2b
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH61m1vaYB
except Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ne2FPdPU
"This is just lovely," 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAaybDbNPf
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qZnK7SeBz
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDPywSdOTG
really early."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ub3SIK5oa
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z2HddyP1L
"Your wife isn't here, 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzsWxPOXgI
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmBXo1yGNw
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr7jxY1BT9
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFMBccxtB5
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Iz5UQc10
Angel almost spelt the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiCcFtVe0U
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqN1cbZAnt
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCKfz5wpWO
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cH24qUlzG
just ran a hand through his hair.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpDXcQLF6J
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZu3whnAal
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9T8lBW2Po
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQWHjV43Y
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvnJP4dM57
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTHoC2VXZv
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3nw7X0thV
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFYzQIxobM
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBhqGd62ip
"Have to go to school," he said.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXBu5L2uyR
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX13ZVwUN1
Oliver came round the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMaHPSpUE5
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfkcOnJjif
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GrqSUtXM1
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1pcuO0oY
ears.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLLVbQAPpj
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcilQdfLXX
"So adorable," said Carly.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfdyZqlwp
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmqjoQTdzx
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgetJPeIBS
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsf7FmtXdV
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Hiw8iTfO
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTToLsTvcP
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO09vMTgwD
"Well, I do."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzcO8A9GJt
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmG3iq07e4
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSd3zxHBr1
"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."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6FnCAwVlV
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2G8tan6sL
"I'll find you in the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgAv8foBG
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6qs4ieQc
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEm4L4x1gH
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHUOBY96OE
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9teqlTrJCp
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf25rcs5eG1
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutCtk7279K
"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.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhAHdcJ4VJ
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNYczadY4L
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMc2mNa9V
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzVbpzQnHG
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrutUj89sT
Before Carly could 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6qPbXVcNC
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNUnMLR5So
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5V7hD6BYF
interested about what her sister was up to.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI6NXJ1Qne
"I'll join you," said 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyq7zEVKuf
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR6cCJE5Cd
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQulodhdmIO
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp6zAZnOmv
"I'll go get ready," 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4yhEfbrfy
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHhLXgRXYl
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7erPL9c8q
times.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pbzjkO6L6
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQpjVRgCb5
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskd1Ib9sGu
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNMT3eOVC2
The last thing Leo 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeGsfvVbml
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nz9zTSLDw
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIecJknJr7
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3VLdWs5UK
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wbykg28uh
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmJ8wkHnlR
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC30QE8eMf
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv27PtkPyC
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBis3GDgKNb
"Yes. It's really 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmlBox0AQc
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJCypSryWi
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSrpgYvVqx
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5J2GchSmw
since I'm so old."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4yRXOCy5R
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.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bbgsUJgi4
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeAtvCKULh
"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?"653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mixc0o5bJ
Leo sighed. He looked 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbpILT4tUH
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBMeqZhiEj
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3dgmF4hKL
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGR8Cqj50D
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."653Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARf8GStVYk
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
