Leo had a smile on his 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5gntuodbF
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHk0b6MHVL
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdEPL26djd
face right in front of him.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTX1l1ZED
It was morning and the 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jMtkJctvI
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOCWNdXbU
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFIJ2LHjLG
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveOl4zNtn
brilliantly in the morning sun.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOBkhErHTa
Carly had joined him 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCjNiEWe8
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXR8UB3bmu
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRkHMrpz3
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJtzlT8EVa
birds, of course.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA30o42Vnf
It was good she came, 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrQKHlmRT
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLelBColMoY
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2cCtKoLFw
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybw3JtLiuK
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM88FyfVUm3
He stretched his hand 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs7XFEtRQU
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iJWHmXrlL
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1sLZkhwKR
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKYXxVECCA
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxD8pTBR6x
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsC80mUxej
She didn't respond as 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wQbgefwDs
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIhUZS3Hmh
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hd6lfNDmU
himself. Leo chuckled.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1lRckFvoa
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJavseCL440
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrcMsVBz5i
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat0cSz9Pvo
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWHVlCJTSv
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaTMziDbj
"You're right. But I 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKngsFS1UPn
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09UNeqt4ij
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUQzW1p7t
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2MvmbSPbR
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FFuIfKcvy
They both got out of bed699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtCqG7B1Bw
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOAEi4sqNE
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy94XILx8zJ
way to Carly's.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF3JpiQxj7
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNWMWy0l4
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7L20i3SJ
Carly gave him a simple 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ2s3zibU9
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3LsbaYeQc
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEvmgEM98H
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuA80Zap2Y
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKrq42hnRA
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9hqROP4Ej
He made his way 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVJCMqV7oi
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIyEN2O9h
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzfrQTBvZn
kitchen.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7DOxXNWDp
He wondered who could be699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFqlZUYowH
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJqoAiYb4O
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH22cFkKea2
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdSFQrmMSW
little.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcue4deOaeh
Angel was standing by 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ad7Wveoq
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhDg7O48s0
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mQM9uN53b
thing that shook him the moment he got there.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFsI5wNGYM
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkIMVvvwoS
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvoUCfeMR
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ8P3dziyh
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJrLrZ2I7Z
"I just had to."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkAbO2XXFY
"Ummm," Leo still 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS1JnlvTdB
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9FbTzEVs
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoi83LM6kH
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GkoWkSM6Z
The coffee maker soon 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5iQbmIjJh
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fD4STijD
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgClg9Ejn1E
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95JdAWG6OZ
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7pvYdWdgh
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1gCmK3V5
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3lkHfalkh
"Why? You wanted me 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tau7h06cm
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqtN5xsdZ5
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOicXStmms
a cup.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEoCjWOp8
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgLyES9EUy
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHf89KG5c6
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyslC1tYrsp
"You still don't seem 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R3tKWPJ3o
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWJ1Peqgd0
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKpigtvlRB
things."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1utjf2h0j
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUltwlqHUF
Angel took a sip of her 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBUTIbiMyF
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2M4Syc3JM
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfIopLtgK9
spent her night with you."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RiqVkY2NR
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4U2vFGjzy
Angel smirked and Leo 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWrjgxHBwH
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIsXS8F5z
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAKJryxgj
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mhJirHcgv
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hu1LwVX3
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaPqLjP07J
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuhKgR7yhL
"You're right, Leo. It's699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NuURHnt9R
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RLsGxKqix
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwTBDdTR9
have any control over."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y1kJQ8OtJ
Leo was a little shocked699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPibTOtP9m
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpXBjZOFNK
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHxVR7RdBS
game?699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4V8qpzSDR
She slowly made her way 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5XfvRpw0L
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgRECg0pC
look at her and something came up in his mind.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWp9CFkuKN
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmm1h5OxWp
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST2EdwufJw
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ORbN0xG7
"The time you came into 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbvxgdGDRe
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYIW7Ze09l
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9h2TPXW2N
Angel smiled at Leo. 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1IvIrSbeW
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lDrQBKkZi
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcSQWfUwFa
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5DVmJ38D
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QC2ZlMq8s
"I don't believe you."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaS6xdS7C7
"You don't have to, Mr 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08RfgT6ONn
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVDzwdSdEj
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCy122KjEE
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE3Si2W8CQ
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXAQ6P8s5V
"I'll be heading out for699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVT1lA72T2
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiRqRlEJE1
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJOP1D9EES
Leo didn't have to 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhr07pwW0j
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1v5Qp43hA
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSug3TRqfsa
her.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2qIb28rzY
Leo stared at the closed699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7DA5sKYXD
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qTqymYeP
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRIpeOQZy
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5HHjDvAer
utterly disturbed.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgolqnkFUeW
***699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sPoI2xVpz
In699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I457jSA7j
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Q1XSGUFa
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0JLB7Abgz
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1SUXL399h
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhL6oKdrIl
"Morning," said Amanda.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETC8UohklF
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZbaZcQW7p
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SW4xtRTxA
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vyLimDNJs
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEIGuX0WSc
"And699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpebTEB2wr
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAig8VkhR5
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEtk4fp5Oq
"Do I?" Leo asked.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ssZNXAtO
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD8ekU35Ce
Leo699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jm8Da3wQQ
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrKbXk7zz
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKkM0dKZ8Q
knew the reason too.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FqyXNKx05
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNwDmpwve
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPn6bFh1Ac
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFFo9NG0D
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGgqqBl1a
"Lovely."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP58gHoTZf
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy2fYiBVrv
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSxYM9XRSf
Upon699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq30KCtyOiU
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lY51StEtF
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyFoY3WFOB
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcmvTchoxF
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyttdM84w9
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0XvK254Wc
Eric699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoU4nO2knq
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfPooghK5q
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpoQsSFbBU
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3QT2DJDgc
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegPeFUfXCq
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DV2ajmzfb
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SnfHWbtOu
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgldw2p9Nlp
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ074dIuaVsL
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmz0HkxGAJ
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK72T9ZSU0H
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVwaOZFFN7
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc177RteVu
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymL7W1XoZ8
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT28W3Ynac
Leo699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3gJFOzhKv
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzaxI90PO4
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11u9UW3LK0
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh51D2qAJN
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UK1xhR9kY
Angel699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXWZ5espIs
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RmCM7cKxu
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04AjnPcP6v
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXdxCJH9Yc
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFg44FQGV
"I'll699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfN8Bja6s
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oSXlJFoFT
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLNllabA6W
"Yes, I would," said Angel.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nopCT9NZ
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3phRsuSPYr
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD41of2CXDl
"Yes, I'm not."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5llMixzmbi
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlGT2QmbfI
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlafdLcVaGS
"Yes, I would."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBIdVoB7nY
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj7RqtP2ez
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0O1C7Ksh
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1AvBWgY6D
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxdZEwippM
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JNr8cfIm
"Yes."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkaf18wve
Leo699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8ZqdTcwGm
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5EPwmR8PO
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIprhP1FEo
talking about Angel.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQMPTDQ2fg
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl5u0tf6ag
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc9kifOV58
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkEDaqJ6wJ
Before Angel could find 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX7VfcFwQa
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDDOgFqi3B
seeing her sister, standing on her own.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATRSBXQvwT
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWce6PkboT
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwIb8DamDp
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm2hP29l1z
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMri2Ws1QQD
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
