Carly walked in through 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsdVk6Ry1
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHphNqxa1Y8
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1f9eXUYZ
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1KLgjD5TL
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXXYwn7XM0
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9W4nV2TAz
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8LF5Drxf
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFwn7xng2Z
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FHgzUNSNm
"Have you already eaten lunch?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3he1nBIZ6
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdn3wSqWO4
"Looks like the shopping did you good."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFScPsmsXxF
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW3Dp1fX73
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxoSDkH0U
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZxzICliPc
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfTLdNNBy0
"In the study?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXQBaWtouJ
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3JWTPWoY
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG1mLEbFjf
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuos8DwRIik
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY1O4sWjPm
"I know you're supposed 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0n20MzPv
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7tMmcrS6H
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftxpzUQvNL
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvBkGt7lQ7
Carly felt herself 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mr1VHzsrJ
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXL7E81UfO
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoWxIT9Lsq
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH0YnLgXZP
her that.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UYjMSNNaC
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJX3GOlZV8
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp12ZPjcGv
Just before the two 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC5huPl3mO
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICBPs09dnQ
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkaWwuJ2RI
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96w9kwYz4
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLRg3f4FnK
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YlsvBVawk
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJffK5mrY
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdsFKgo4yu
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvKD6yStgK
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ750A7DA8j9
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXmdMYEVJU
Carly went on her way 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPZYphLQG9
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO5qe4G3NI
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PBXDPYBJd
from Amanda.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg3pJ09UKQ
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUNog5crgV
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU7seXi5cL
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcot5dMra6E
Carly couldn't hear 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMucMargU
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kTYOhQEHD
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjsr0ZGpPD
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U8i1laN2r
Before she could get to 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0NM9CLEoG
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKmEHiWHo
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASUSyA2J3P
She opened the door to 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPRTEylk7o
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDrqX0aQC
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aeqB1frav
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD424WojgKu
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJGqSfy71L
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGmqero1or
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ988mUpfCgk
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyoqAN5E4O
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWan4VYqwJ
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdSBBfbAlR
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkEMC0bFSh
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TTlg0HkpD
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yJwcQyNzJ
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9tE49MwUa
"How has been your day?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TP9vHyz5e
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvHLrj2TY
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNcYwEIYQb
facing her sister.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoaspK9boB
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Ik0e0w2E
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iloCS4dnM
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw0wW1gVDN
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGra7ykQyR6
Angel faced the glass 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTraMIbert3
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgFGWvI8oQ
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i01QcKKXZ
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IKtwBTwqJ
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZ93rmVxK
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGO81TF8vm
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCdsK2xjt1
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJgviRHKxg
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKraeR3Ejf
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHniRiYQ5XQ
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XztoRTWtf
Carly's mouth fell open 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqROjJAaoBI
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eJRC8ruRp
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8YFD0Uaz
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIbGkNkaGf
"Do you think I would 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZurObLacO
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONxxuaReaC
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrsJrKRx0W
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvcIrq3DL
"For you, yes because 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3x3KIs8D
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWO0Jw6Lai
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID51hwBvp4
the mall?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5k7Xbb4g
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGDbGO5ljp
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFkhfoJF2G
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNafkNTBH5
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIn1j9wKYG
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL9rjnoVyj
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RfyWrfSFV
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIsMGQ8Rkf
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPug3Sz9F4
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrymtMwPIV
"I wouldn't worry about 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4gzNGRCzc
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9QKFulxAW
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0whFSFsqot
"When a lady's fiancé 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBwPHp6R9P
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74HCvUXGcM
that there might be another woman."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IrkkKpaCN
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z6epr9Mxi
Angel felt like 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TlV14U1cZ
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqqkuy8wm5
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGmXIGhpbd
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyImAmrDTGV
"Well, what do you 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Acg8oo8p
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL7nwLC7Bd
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7quEOdXxmu
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND51MZRMh7
Kim for good."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4MqA07NTF
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42IClLopyr
Angel placed the book 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiIyyq4791
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQiL3bzYwb
started to wheel herself out of the room.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5SWK4RvI7
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7SDLLgXx6
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSpmKIWNdB
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Foe4brSWr
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokdinZyHpx
"You want me to move on 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUvD155z2V
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLEt8WPqz3
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6IgUicNIi
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGnbrJvau
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUXIDyV7HR
"What?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VDahGUKg
Carly felt powerless as 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJTcSoHfc
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAm654HJOH
on her chair so as to look at Carly.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUsc4zCr29
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWYmsMvAXv
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ZmQX0pIR
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTGW84elh6
Carly felt her knees 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFuJkFSJd
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcBCLFpXim
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVsSVEB3k0
lost and confused.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGIfG2ExqJ
"At least you now know 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbghBHi0uU
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kp9i16bhR
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS1FHJr2cl
to or else that would've killed her instead."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoOnUrjQwX
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCGOjC8JNQ
"But it's the truth." 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmiAonJY2H
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmQjVHVdk
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLK3oX6dxk
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHNAc5hcWF
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSxqKFbiR
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGRLUDYGSn
Angel looked on at 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjICxExu7h
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yN7loiDd9
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgAzUCiEfx
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY65DKJbJw
sister anymore.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IvsXEUvMg
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUBfnP9TLB
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqinT5d3r25
Angel flinched by the 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYbDkTPl6D
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAn7T0JSkr
hadn't heard their whole conversation.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBrUDylggo
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiCT8lVYcq
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWnKBfkkGR
Amanda continued to look683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P2Wqqi7kR
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0Tu7xt0iA
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtjhJ20ZGB
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyip6wDDmIT
"Well, you should have 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO4sajEvH3
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigbhYChytD
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuI0e9WXvs
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTFqbDbr5i
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXfBsem6Vd
"Of course."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDls9zWPqK
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77z8yu0XD2
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYdQqqwEIy
"Well, I better go and 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNzZudpOTU
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkd6AdTU3X
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHkahCK96V
my best behaviour."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePGdHuOX6u
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9T4y03VUH
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyYPKsIrAT
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETvL8ZSh5k
"You're right, dear. I'm not."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1FpQmxot
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDPUV50roz
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CQPH885zr
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb5hmErqbJ
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY0hSu9ok7
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vvOCb3uR
Carly looked at Angel 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf70ctNx1Ms
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBZasRrs1S
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPBMZCVKd5
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk7a0KaGRA
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTDP9wTDZJ
"What should I do?" 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGKqQwrXhv
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp8pI3Idaz
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBue0Hz9jCO
dinner."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcnQ9Ye9Sa
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIp6hXVLhj
"Are you serious?" Angel683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr73cAPLXU5
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sr7Spi8OK
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLVudphsK9
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhjEJ5hjvc
"I wouldn't like to know683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVFQXSSD5Q
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXrRffADzR
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqws8sh934
future."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvUFIZYgOS
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX9wCkDHcQ
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZBhJbMhsK
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChy1Frtdwd
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYQXvrQcN
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zl2d94ys
Carly almost gave a 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlvMVtwRw
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosUNl1953M
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPjrFci4Ih
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4IACe8MLR
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw84OCm8UM
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2TCO7OFsB
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZvxHNhOb
Amanda turned her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllwS0VDbxI
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbsH7cZDZJ
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7kTAxOUnX
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUHf4wTcb
"With what?" Angel asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUphZoaPQX3
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jrzgmdrfm
"Carly, you aren't going683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LpshrIuwe
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkDXlzRYbo
backside. You don't want to make it worse."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGuqcR5NT7
"But aren't you scared?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvtMY8gXbc
Angel raised her eyebrow683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJaptQvmFk
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvgzeoVvxa
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelHakYJ7yy
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gFYuJhUy1
"I'm glad you've changed683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHsxQCbLm3
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q7juQUF1C
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFj03WvTVM
would be a problem."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUICjSESNNJ
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoh7JeT1PY
"It's none of my 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CehdpZubn
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEZovNwvLD
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21obTU4Di
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ3Zao1lWh
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC2Hfu9dz3
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv60Bjdr7y5
When Angel left the 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MYzc0Ff7I
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 683Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YdWqx2C8a
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
