Carly walked in through 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlnZWUdyl
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhJCB9MZSO
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1niPUvDQ5
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RLSZSWOwF
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy0AQa7jnu
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPXtLvjeYq
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDYSY57IlX
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByoMg1bcJ8
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwObyDG51
"Have you already eaten lunch?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAOWPk3Xdg
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi8bQWNB7u
"Looks like the shopping did you good."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmcyp2CS12
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tpIBQt1Wf
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViWuT8x5MO
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ZDShnFDf
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfSCRWIe03
"In the study?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qkMDyUGD2
"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."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YskvgBBG
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GLaP0v20z
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerb06QdiQS
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ27RCaqMwT
"I know you're supposed 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WB5GpIeUj
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxbNevtbQ
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPHPCUIgtl
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAVJjbbgSe
Carly felt herself 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByqb0hZIyN
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQ7lzAZHd
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4od9WuiPAA
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRMxL0FI9C
her that.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTIgqFeHf0
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKoaMd3KZ0
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4q9GdbM0d
Just before the two 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz3ztrdzCx
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDV7o2z4XJ
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT42t0Zum3
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWX43kFuk6
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbEeq1ZDYV
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6REfhM3fnB
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwE8Kj1Smm
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPstquCkN5A
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbGrf3BCFF
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswY2pFnI9O
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwJrIxOrsg
Carly went on her way 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74HRQrAbVP
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpFzslSbjG
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08SpQRKs2z
from Amanda.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxtDWel5FK
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYManLQxQd
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi5Vh7gIII
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOad2ssWyOA
Carly couldn't hear 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjujzEKghP
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQkgjhAsR8
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYnuGDsbx7
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDT4rQz3Os
Before she could get to 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVvzlHi2ys
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKiVBCwZeU
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVY5SjAYdZ
She opened the door to 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBj4S2rTM9
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MFXWfpia0
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5QyoFuK7J
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9KuTvWpv4
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY0NSGNkiv
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoVtDOAEta
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9xBkIcbZ
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKE3ol9Njf
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfejQ02xgC
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ6FVd405Y
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmMKejBThJ
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dft2SWdAc
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz0IIZhAJi
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5pVzdAfs5
"How has been your day?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer7NQyB1ib
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOq2y9QhQe
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9u1a9FU3L
facing her sister.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LvzXol6hs
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHMoMq3NqH
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0z2EQ0npo
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiXwsFbTcg
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Iyf63UP4J
Angel faced the glass 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5reGCrOwu
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AjMtSSCu3
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNto9s5888
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3QOhoddxy
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsQXUIeHZ9
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0kZUq5iWR
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3WXfEzqV
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYQXakBF6G
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXdFVQ9KnD
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzSX5sEbZ9
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkRQGUFP0c
Carly's mouth fell open 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRBLOty35D
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjesTHp3T
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NAY3Ywilb
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CNZGQSTSV
"Do you think I would 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZl4cKcB2U
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8JaCiZrz
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5H82JTKKk
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z3eKaTAXL
"For you, yes because 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2cnXynY7L
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MYt6T6g1d
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AT6SKMfPZ
the mall?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBdihb81mu
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMH6zku8FM
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwsNiUCVPi
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch6drgLS0Q
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B5hAzxxwJ
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2VKSQe2gd
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchICSuVY6W
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUYzDjAGhZ
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxBRZGeMzw
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aBNLAZyVU
"I wouldn't worry about 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L1NkuSGgY
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uyFQyzWaT
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvKrIzXjW
"When a lady's fiancé 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCPzeJwENI
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj5Gv6wtMd
that there might be another woman."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbF8sLAUcq
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8OGMmjMfL
Angel felt like 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6bZQY9mt2
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGQnqGRX2F
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1Y8BFz7y
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8MLuPWT77
"Well, what do you 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwYmLLyKHZ
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEXE5eHAxs
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeM7A9CgBV
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoewEqwEW0i
Kim for good."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUzkJHi6k5
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KqwmEVRgS
Angel placed the book 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzArY25wh
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCCPumVyeo
started to wheel herself out of the room.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOcqlRtAQE
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzRskV7E1S
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEIS0wiaSb
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f15UXvqfc
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVMsgqD61l
"You want me to move on 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxxORpcih4
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WuwXmjELm
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC196szKbu
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChLp0753vr
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QA8uZrbGH
"What?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGj3WCiJhO
Carly felt powerless as 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmMm2GfCA
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UTzYDpVlt
on her chair so as to look at Carly.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGjuLIFqwL
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqAGe8Zp70
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0FuA5L7Nh
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxs89kwKbB
Carly felt her knees 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSYmJ6M3eN
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8iUlm7D3K
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7JRAyyFf
lost and confused.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqVtXzb5Xp
"At least you now know 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZra0h31iuc
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmkzKLeMgq
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm0Hg2pkdp
to or else that would've killed her instead."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckg4J4VNJF
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PcymuxbaM
"But it's the truth." 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFgca7WsmQ
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojLR3p5Fn
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldLLG1jiGZ
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJbKhim6HU
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi82RJSAevK
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWPSAePZa
Angel looked on at 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24sdbHL4bG
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT40osh6vt
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzEjJCSi27
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VIPye69qg
sister anymore.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z28D3eT1Z
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2rCwJGErd
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyRGWnCGki
Angel flinched by the 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeWH3V3YRd
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1j1tGR9XU
hadn't heard their whole conversation.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQbAmGKQwI
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.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysv1cHVXHH
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyy7XXNxYJ
Amanda continued to look626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy5Vsrtx7n
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg8SDxqbmu
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9ELy55Vx
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasNVGQ5kQ5
"Well, you should have 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8noKil4XtX
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XQI7Ynpi0
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibatCNkky
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFyMo7RfLS
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pLSOPLGmN
"Of course."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdre2JN0Adk
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lqqgdpwcG
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6jWSFS2HB
"Well, I better go and 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR1MSKooGg
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv57K32M9U
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSryR2ltF7o
my best behaviour."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdYD99lFT
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9lqCNfNY
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbRE8mB3Vh
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y83CkL0f5
"You're right, dear. I'm not."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfTHJ2MirC
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmU528QVwf
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fgyOu6Sh
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCxevU8gyG
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfe9yAxFX
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXOCACKcMR
Carly looked at Angel 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6O05eplIN
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgyxyGBwRV
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB7F6tn46T
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx8kEy03AN
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY1xdu8CD5
"What should I do?" 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGiyfY1eOL
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J08uikgzE
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdkGHkteVl
dinner."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCHf84HU8a
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHESEFynbNN
"Are you serious?" Angel626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8WbSFQIM4
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDARJdZ8Wq8
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxfz2wZu67
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEneWKDFyLt
"I wouldn't like to know626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLfgvJR7Kg
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AcjlOD5E5
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUmiACcWR
future."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpcuUEgvH6
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJf9kprwal
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7pxvdXHfr
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0VOd3KL8x
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5C23BEbB7
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RrcSgRDfB
Carly almost gave a 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxdwIm1weM
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjvebGa27e
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRtnmbFNqS
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h1LSjDaXB
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBHCLSU1q
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDccgj4IZQa
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhYeeym7xQ
Amanda turned her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCo27T7fnm
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzORhgesP0
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9znRgQCrzo
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopgiosmHsL
"With what?" Angel asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GE9eA0JO
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf0Ek11gnN
"Carly, you aren't going626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhdmhLCc8
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS76NsPITK
backside. You don't want to make it worse."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUe4AO1eO
"But aren't you scared?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0es3T6c6b
Angel raised her eyebrow626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMPP56c855
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CAW4lour7
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XJhbtjJHL
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzsIIonTdG
"I'm glad you've changed626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwH4GW45cx
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ360f7ndpP8
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTip6kYNyPA
would be a problem."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Ou8FcDXv
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv06eKGaOL
"It's none of my 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhVqBrGIn6
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FyaLCq3u9
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaRZ7NRsbj
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySFFCDcv5x
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCnam5pThR
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmiup5g3XS
When Angel left the 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyHo9AGcJP
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 626Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu50VaFChNp
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
