Carly walked in through 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB8iSD66KG
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWXlnCxiP4
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qTMnpRAqd
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn96Hryj6EC
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwpUazFnx9
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCivut5szvG
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1laLpwaXYD
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACuIpg9Yve
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPp3HqXXhI
"Have you already eaten lunch?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaRcld5DuS
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9NI8BZT7x
"Looks like the shopping did you good."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXvfbhs6n7
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B4bPXIDPe
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9CfPziXZ
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1CwnOU8ba
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kqUMJ0EjU
"In the study?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgWRP19NvW
"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."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MMSLmumt2
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpacoQSLYjg
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDzqOT2bP
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9jAbT8FMg
"I know you're supposed 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8u0Ps8PeJ
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6PrnLqZzs
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5lJbHQFPh
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d31Pfwb9f
Carly felt herself 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC4p37VJRH
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVObNQA06
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDGNAK2xyM
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAwy0VgkyR
her that.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUYLi4SkIy
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbU4uoYZgL
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6PWrYFosx
Just before the two 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEACnvVejjt
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YmUaNpYnJ
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHynLsBA9oU
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYNT5fUeqF
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvoLebvYq8
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gi9Idtg8c
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDdJYoU8Sb
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZKOgVhJM4
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmxD5OCdMv
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YvvL224UC
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykQaUghvwz
Carly went on her way 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPz3WmGKd
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlwNLMKyNn
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN4GKJzSno
from Amanda.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgMvEYZCjo
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIybL6afFm8
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9eRWBcrjr
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VTkEkxZcx
Carly couldn't hear 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcN5gmZR6c
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDotUR8jXhP
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC72BEU6fL
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbk7qs1RjJ
Before she could get to 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgmFIJ5Ywr
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiKDmCFJTV
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RxADkJl9P
She opened the door to 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhfRwHW547
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2esNbhq0d
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCnkYV3EIP
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp05RprMpb
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RbTnOVgky
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMStUzOeNl
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDFkemewJA
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflLiAPruS
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAUGPgUDGN
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFysJDZaNPk
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE1FN2jeBr
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xlQzlAQi1
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD66lVJmCo
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdziE5BBtAQ
"How has been your day?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13suZYVfN
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOgRWWXYmi
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72a3XECWkf
facing her sister.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWjuMvWIb3
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8fnKDgxoV
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYTPw46Cqb
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYxw3Lkwgu
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8YIBq38uH
Angel faced the glass 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rn3VyT8Bq
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRbLSf9Qxr
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3N3sObDxd
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnB3CY9fsu
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixUR8pqzJ
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13H3Xyszd7
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfsJ4YvZn6
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLYtjrzwCL
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDA5eo2EHE
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBSGszn4i
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9DEuU62S
Carly's mouth fell open 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGdnIfZUYa
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXikhBYSxWH
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrCYxKjdpj
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVo1K2DClW
"Do you think I would 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWuxROhtM8
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdEYYoqxxX
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sp0J7YaRm
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Eygo59HOP
"For you, yes because 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qebB7UCSb
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFloiw4Lk
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnk8pY22ht
the mall?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0hY7ajLw2
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUNMm1nITi
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEXOXEqOnH
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl65rZak4hE
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eiOI2jSLZ
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVW3dv4Vay
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOpm7UJePj
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrhO68jHf3
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInVcagzSG1
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8XMmYUKAs
"I wouldn't worry about 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFD1Q0E1YO
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Nt8aJZSl
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTGTe8bbA
"When a lady's fiancé 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCGbcxfzSa
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dUpEt5epm
that there might be another woman."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxc5j7VBxb
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1CEgJ0Sz
Angel felt like 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ku6M607Ws
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ONmLhT6XV
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4o5kOjBZp
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsdH8SGsuj
"Well, what do you 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqKl2EoDNn
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyFeEpwPw
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdebXUXqdh
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRf7Np58O
Kim for good."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMh8b2mubZ
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU4ydT8kDC
Angel placed the book 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSRnUDGiMD
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx912fOtDeo
started to wheel herself out of the room.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hON7gIS1f
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkJjN3uJR5
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ2K9VJuoq
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6mAqS6XYI
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vFIUsXi4m
"You want me to move on 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFooJnj3WOb
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Nkfml5mn
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4ugzEvZd
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOamq0D6FDb
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrTD2zvMD0
"What?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4KNPcLRkN
Carly felt powerless as 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2on7njoJEd
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiYEoVH9w3
on her chair so as to look at Carly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DgdKfjTZx
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKC1bD5Iu
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkkhjdNqDu
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P4cNXJCZk
Carly felt her knees 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEovUm66Ey
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgdXcVIVVn
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iIfQtIpHw
lost and confused.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYXSBHCai
"At least you now know 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG8teA8BYS
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGbONAB6P
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqaMVcfqEG
to or else that would've killed her instead."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2NPtpEqst
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bBtTtkiro
"But it's the truth." 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GrBBl7UsV
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUhDUhcI3n
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfbiJDJVdk
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTfTeBSKVn
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iQERUyfNe
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1hJrG6EkQ
Angel looked on at 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCB7lR1rmo
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyfJKZ5Thw
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGznVSV4UyV
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSdPgX8eKI
sister anymore.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OsST4cbIE
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dhWh2NOzz
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsBAy6dOmB
Angel flinched by the 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB95AmitZSj
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKk8rOxunl
hadn't heard their whole conversation.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeout0u1vWu
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.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrriE318MK
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSOp0CUjzO
Amanda continued to look729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClO6zKAFQz
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDye8NdE2h
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsav5Kdaikq
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOaoA9tgFp
"Well, you should have 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKmR6qkry
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL41BZJGUN
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIA7ainbv
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wYZCTIdCB
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJiQwoz4Wt
"Of course."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxckU12PC7v
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYhlKodwc
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LbRNepuca
"Well, I better go and 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEj9GnBZG
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyovNF5ZpLd
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtxvn6JBk3
my best behaviour."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuyNbfuPnR
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm2yQy98h7
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZGAv3Vp9N
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuNrJVmD5q
"You're right, dear. I'm not."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fEZS7DJws
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL6hPjKQes
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNoKwULUdC
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBGSihKeO
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMm8riTiRQ
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zVlH72X1
Carly looked at Angel 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDoGgzY18R
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3vNdlLMMw
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIPKODr8E
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBYs5MeLs2
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eoOzNiaFr
"What should I do?" 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpZM9dvq8
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsHZofw3b4
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDa35R1oxw
dinner."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF9kwhoP4l
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWi3izdoO6
"Are you serious?" Angel729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpdpUbj8uZ
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuslVtO3U8
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTW0510u03
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Mk1eJECH
"I wouldn't like to know729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrECekpvVW
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghPUKSmSMc
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9sAsAvxY3
future."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPbGhufIj
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3k7lsahX4
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdjgVBJaA
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXvsNUQgE
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2IQK9IJNm
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqpVzcOP13
Carly almost gave a 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGxThvILbx
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssAiy1bWy
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavocXT4C8t
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4fTquFhb8
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1PxvW6TwJ
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ0LvsBKN2
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZZrDZFFA
Amanda turned her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6W1eeBqHr
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2uC0iBL0G
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0EPK3kbtR
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B2mhEoqpE
"With what?" Angel asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QfyIbpcdR
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZnB3Xhq82
"Carly, you aren't going729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI6S6sVZMb
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6fIXULEjK
backside. You don't want to make it worse."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO23PDRiwRm
"But aren't you scared?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZKhHdiXt
Angel raised her eyebrow729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWplehiG53
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6UHl3cXxn
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkkmkiNn5K
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ2udB9zLY
"I'm glad you've changed729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ognPtoYhO
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0WiyyZjxY
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7tXEpO6p
would be a problem."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZzbdLLGiP
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfTedSM3AG
"It's none of my 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw6YwSO5sT
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXyr6VwErv
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYL6rQ4bQR
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuiyUznVJP
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG2qJ5N9d6
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtF6KRpoES
When Angel left the 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBv6vyEAKC
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk63RvbBZk4
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
