The phone alarm woke Leo737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ148n5xezO5
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0tyYOhhwW
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YswM4Rkfw
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFfkc139gr
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDoYEhlbKU
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnMMCC6JX
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLdNb0RbdU
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUKHmDEC9M
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ivAmRyWOq
After taking a shower, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrTwMuxis
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFfMPsyJzQ
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSqXGitwWW
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnhuOmLht2
ever. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8NG8DOARv
He soon went out of his 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPPwGxHMrC
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzYQb8xNiy
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUGbIWqQ8e
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszLVRwG8Xo
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCZucWoMlr
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPEz26iqaC
him.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhpkO1k0nD
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetKgJ1agC
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc69PKBelL
"Don't ruin the mood by 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc5K5WV3qu
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ9HoYOTiI
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfSxcbNm0u
Leo smiled as he 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasjKnBfkA5
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbs1iGinss
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05TohiL8er
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmhY1cGbTY
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4SWMG5IpT
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9aCuhMUTN
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NLFzdtvFk
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNxsFB01t6
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uvdwZUHkF
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T9qolvkpF
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZKhcxL4wS
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkIFxViYuL
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSMmE3IBBU
"She is, actually," said737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVJyaoOxMK
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2hbNkktt
anything to you. You have me around."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0T4VRucMp
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErRL2gUnIZ
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiET4mL9GS
Before Carly could say 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrIhJH6kY
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajRs29QKO2
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgb4JwDMmJ
"What was that?" Leo asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zrfzqXyvl
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI1uX15I8m
Carly got to Angel's 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTDXIQ8505
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCJQAhk6ne
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2MXA5KDn2
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMM2IhOi4E
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNqTI7Omw
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjj9RQapYA
"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."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke6CSUPS65
"You know you're not 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnwrVJOZNN
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEQfUo5K0S
for help. You never change, Angel."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYl51uDy4A
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyeODHnbEO
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9vt0s63I5
"No thanks, I'm fine."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWMg1NDA7K
Angel went on to look at737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMsCFEXEmV
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxFdL7UnlA
then she went on to stare at Carly.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNaJPFJj28
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBCdxMcst
Carly paused as she 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpgJYX0VtB
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zAyKFqZLF
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLNJVfhq9T
Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSursNhTjQ
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo59p8ZIdN
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKKoDGj6gt
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5APWRGzq7Z
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1gQt0QpnX
hurt or anything."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPIi4oy4e
"May you please drag me 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6p18VH9Ka
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9QxP5eOL3
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjgLmwLGnQ
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn40VLGyCi
"Just like Carly said, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgXKCLdijk
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRf0Xp9NvX
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk2ZK5ghor
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOjc48fgMz
The room soon had an 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq67KAD3aY
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHBZHg1f58
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oBjxrOQGv
awkwardness.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YaPv3OjXj
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDXAtIDdio
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyYRF8zDwN
"Sure."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPzrmUzx6U
Leo stared at Carly 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq9nje3PZs
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNFklt4wDb
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPNdSrOG6d
avoid any more problems.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vd4BekG0S
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5qKgTU9VY
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2evnSFCuW
"Tea would be lovely, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZkWydkSbT
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCOpRibSQt
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQBzuwM2y
could have helped you."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIx9Z4pPj6
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUc6jUiuhm
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpOBBDtgjq
Carly gladly smiled at 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIFi2gqH7w
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo29aDZCMEi
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGBu8AGm81
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8jpIEASQ
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaG5gWHUaR
And Leo? It was strange 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVaRKcWpjD
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhoxr57wYd
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv2L7F1ilH
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIXE9gH2uo
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZ1vGkN9V
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wWthxI2U
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ0ArtOcM0
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmZtupLMrE
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYzIJ64mRj
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUthQWVToli
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXVkdXnpz
While Amanda and Angel 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSTSe72way
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6kPtGIzwm
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84XLbhUqfq
at the door.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4gG0xLJc
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpcp7g0DND
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBU0jsiNpS
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB22nnfv4dv
"No, she didn't." Carly 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYH4OiWMAK
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS8HWR6foj
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV9ljUyMpy
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZAAERwRq
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0tAL5sfR8
"I don't care about 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAivD20laJ
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6UPmkCe9y
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIzG3kOdKf
are real."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eai87KifV
Carly smiled and she 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X6A8RBoPV
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi7rsySzhG
that she didn't want him to let her go.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcDOdbaF3
She quickly turned 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasiDM6FQv1
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4DyAVw4Lx
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz4mj4YpE1
They would freak out."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPFRBG5kr
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCqkH8hsuT
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweVSWjgJtH
Leo continued to look 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDkuWMcOnV
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpohl1dw0
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8xk8HvhmI
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8DZwXPdiH
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHOwhKhXvX
"What's going on here?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpF2vWCaY5
Leo and Carly almost 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRleltzEIiU
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd21y4tjtXo
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtBreYHw1t
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5skwOUfkx0
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vmqIb0yrP
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXXjvYCM9i
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4E0aNPWft
"For Amanda and Angel."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvWbbvFPN6
"They are both awake?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9qxSjUaZc
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYAJhxAQiW
Mrs McDonell looked at 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dc55rL1IJ
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPBKypImmo
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzj90OpKX
off.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyThcZPsEy
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5udWFx15Li
Carly took the tray 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYDeecHXKL
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw1uGyCciz
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwF2MQKF7D
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOjCa3Xdqo
corner.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYy8hhPFnh
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgByucdQd7p
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PoMZMCPin
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK9DUYHuZp
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfNFhOZxOz
Leo made his way to the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuYAdWebSv
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FCnwjaXKE
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gE6hCqktO
By seven, almost 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmLsE4qeKJ
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn29XGwgIIo
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeY3xEV3Ml
the lovely smell was intoxicating.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWe2ablKuX
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIt3jUYssa
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcutqUzOcg6
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOWZlVQzc
time to go to school.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwezjasvHm
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDQmN1JLUx
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC8iBnS8t8
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPXavB6lMm
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHECcdliAnx
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulxMZLn3bR
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0URHIjL7tZ
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQFsih7j8
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCiH3Eyte
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡootNKMFFhG
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxWCwJEDv
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOoi9SqSwa
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z6LKzQJG3
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gxGVRXnkS
them.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81XleifmZG
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQ5GRC8eJ
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn3J0O4vqn
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eNIC7rozo
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnpELYogZO
"Right," Leo replied.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR3HnbF40e
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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGft9LufGS
Just as they were about 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwxyXg48R5
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl419ifNgP
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPsIUdj78
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSnzxioOQw
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pj1wcN1y4
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiANS0ws7S
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYNUfdy3p6
Before Leo could reply 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEFc1OpuWV
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGmSlePXhf
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tEm8yX7Mv
looked away feeling irritated.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mrslI9CVJ
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk8hSToYJP
Everyone else on the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2noWwVJlkT
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUnapgalyz
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeuYtz9Xqk
except Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NV9XwU4OI
"This is just lovely," 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABMEuc6f1q
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUvqPFsYUi
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP0HBrgK3P
really early."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdAT6iYFyl
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CuNUzLOug
"Your wife isn't here, 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqCshcBmNz
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE9pIoGuVL
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzoq6c6kB
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o1A1N1QNs
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK2BCuJwrP
Angel almost spelt the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOOZtcrR1D
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxYJzbrHd
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBXWYun5Cl
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3LAUMun9
just ran a hand through his hair.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74BYXXyB19
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP3j50cHiI
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVKcx9uzwX
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7eVHt3Qal
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0aMKs5TFU
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKDRCEhng6
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcGwuwnk7A
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aLLxXNlew
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Lm0oQ3cj
"Have to go to school," he said.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4suTvGqFe
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvHiBskHlb
Oliver came round the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTWi1WEPjA
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvLTLJG63q
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbZiyk8yZt
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQFkHSpU7K
ears.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuJVjl8hOR
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn4JfU5OwV
"So adorable," said Carly.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uJZRt2SAb
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTEdGHYJ6T
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdWdZNmy7z
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRLiU0H3S2
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCgcWzac3v
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrvf01wHgM
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJC7Pnt59r
"Well, I do."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZtEzuUzYD
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdYrq5Fcro
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PnGRHhUWO
"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."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlTs0SyFkW
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6jwVTafg
"I'll find you in the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeniKbSIeP
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm12ZjcNgjT
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyENEvMM1D
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOW9zP7v9z
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzodF2faPMr
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4NTnaE6X
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHUhRkXQyt
"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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB3i81W8bk
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcokbElFvk0
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewTijvHsw
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5G14WFKg9
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKG49plog
Before Carly could 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9UQRw7mP
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyws4zyJID0
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJIFwvUOjv
interested about what her sister was up to.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAJiIzA18
"I'll join you," said 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYP8UqlCfm
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgOApN9yZ7
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnfiJyPjes
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzx0QmSWO
"I'll go get ready," 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpEtVuu3Lf
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhRry9pkG6
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sv77vTY6q
times.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz81gnRpL3o
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRaRdvEoFc
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9atl5Tma3B
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlnqQSo5Po
The last thing Leo 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq5OyUTrGX
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBOTT733w0
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJlZlkOdw
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUx20S9ZOl
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE3yGbdLOt
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLbCuZfECZ
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylP9MtZtMX
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fMVtmSd9D
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4xtPV54bp
"Yes. It's really 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6rnUh5JKW
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Gg7E2Cda
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7FbXxsKdJ
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUOrJIYxdq
since I'm so old."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0SYt2uFFJ
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.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92MSJ7y5oK
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe2XatQwNV
"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?"737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQNz2EE1mT
Leo sighed. He looked 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQSBCqjzT
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvbeYkJaPg
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVxvbcOlDt
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsmNl67Qot
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."737Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtG9SO0VpB
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
