Leo had a smile on his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEty3QVtdO
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BUWoefAeN
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116MRlUJfB
face right in front of him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yw79qM4bw
It was morning and the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcMEYKjJhz
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZau8aWicL8
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAn0h5o688
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMNI7YFj20
brilliantly in the morning sun.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CUpeZFG3x
Carly had joined him 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoduoCddlCN
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt5zbtIfzJ
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoIrFQVepA
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yj1PhIyxC
birds, of course.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCyaiGzESq
It was good she came, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy0KSqoUxt
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFXxuQzFP
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLKOBjjBtQ
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgzfLkGOnu
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhSsBw8skS
He stretched his hand 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwqe8OrbX1
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJJR1Dj4ea
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2cj0rsYwg
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXvtDwbTUW
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnTtuXcjf
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMJCzZjFyL
She didn't respond as 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qEAJhjXWx
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzx45yGer8
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZMr1UfZs
himself. Leo chuckled.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPjS3cE7Wu
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMY2vPG76
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rmrYjcnwj
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNAk0U0lwZ
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETIRGr2UFz
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pYJwP65gr
"You're right. But I 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2mcKnkWrb
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtQR1AkUVa
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5N7I1wN48
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXj2VrdBiU
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHMCDhs84c
They both got out of bed654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKvoIaDwk
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDQwk1L7Lk
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRlBKD5iSV
way to Carly's.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6terbGzi8U
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D93nohgk9
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSX4TpxVjO
Carly gave him a simple 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPyCHWSoJo
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneHCvWXVUk
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ymxtoLpfn
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVFKzQUnA0
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFUbpG6BK2
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgAfx1phcQ
He made his way 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AwMWmw6Yj
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgxAArrfk8
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb1o2s73Tv
kitchen.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAULmGizx2
He wondered who could be654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTuHfLgGYQ
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONyo8suhb
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJS3DypSM
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWaslJQCV
little.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnPhqkNNKK
Angel was standing by 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkTSyu3jzg
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nmvzRr8Cj
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwXVDgweli
thing that shook him the moment he got there.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vj9eOEBgY
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Nxx0iiMg
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwSzDTiyaB
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjjtWHsxjj
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxq93cfPNT
"I just had to."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceicIeQOmZ
"Ummm," Leo still 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKSTVLI0ux
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZfKC1UM6w
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf3jNB0eGC
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqKWNW0Mqj
The coffee maker soon 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoR2SYhjk8
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6hGJTjtmx
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvbEv14hVi
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19OPaACApv
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl5DuWLP49
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynVXwKka3t
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ705j3XaxkC
"Why? You wanted me 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PUjgRYVZu
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwPEl3EDm2
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0yTSH23wq
a cup.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi56WhHa0k9
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROMMKEmbzW
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK5l38J460
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEspeCM9Rg
"You still don't seem 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IlbDCIy1D
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5nmu2Rrc0
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZShTSdt5s
things."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48tszMRD5s
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYi9IsDG94
Angel took a sip of her 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdCIyPy9ON
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62cprpxIoV
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15JdOvmdIi
spent her night with you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeVExwxme
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLeTfbZ9gJ
Angel smirked and Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhde5Hr4YJn
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnhj7T9aI
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgJzrzNKgf
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFjbRYxRV
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdMpclHBqm
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05aAjJ5Brv
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkawVtaOipZ
"You're right, Leo. It's654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVVnkSoQJx
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2daNX6mno
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PfcJMIIg8
have any control over."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEsAKtpl0U
Leo was a little shocked654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3j0BlgfFq
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV3Sbd3ODb
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMoakNGC0r
game?654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe9waWP26v
She slowly made her way 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrxTg5GMi
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UKLoKRGJZ
look at her and something came up in his mind.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH34WmKSGTj
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQOvW0Myx
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthF3GBjx4
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAarTNOSX4w
"The time you came into 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2vrFkXIC5
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxI4rWivm
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA60EdPcX9A
Angel smiled at Leo. 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWAPYi8wKG
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1VKzNDsdE
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZ7WpmTfX
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpUDZzNE9D
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpObh2LIYkI
"I don't believe you."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV9g750VC9
"You don't have to, Mr 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFmDWPxmuk
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIc7UKS3KB
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3TF5alDbk
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUzlliKeoq
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mvnqWAym
"I'll be heading out for654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVACRXUz4di
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3r02Kiemq
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyFT9e59UC
Leo didn't have to 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwS3czBADE
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVJWpn7eVd
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHkcEf1GgN
her.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLdEFWL3ni
Leo stared at the closed654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9REQdaI1
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8gXy7Y3Op
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EQcMM4fvi
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUvhhs7yG
utterly disturbed.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIcpiHkYBc
***654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAqK1Disdq
In654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ndK4dRInb
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJ7ByFGoH
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuamIe0HS1
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5yFqumxS
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyOQyrjFls
"Morning," said Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpKRreTq3b
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9j2BpHkWw
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiEG3LbPd9
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAX4X6mfHm
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3vWWO8JQG
"And654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCn7YAWD6I
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1D2F34w7v
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtj1iTx1O
"Do I?" Leo asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3TAca2dql
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpIGhLzBs4
Leo654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2COE738O8
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fo5kycvN
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JOBFuRSWh
knew the reason too.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa20ZIOBMia
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMowN8CuUt
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tdRWbid0o
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7nk1Th97
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlxPrwe4d
"Lovely."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdIKaA2gi
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6QuXKWswP
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxRJk2c6Dk
Upon654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmc5EesuBT
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6VY2iEuOQ
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G1bPUQ9Kr
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqjAOqBba
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nKkBRYsDS
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFPGwPfyn
Eric654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47C1gyGWXU
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wh1KMZsEE
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPQx3RcBO
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X7ct96Zm6
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlhL4MfJle
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5IStZf7Fi
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROfXaczkQD
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdn8WDyWZI
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mQVAAcgz
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaa179284J
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAEJ14LqZ
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJR6fM4PBY
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUodKv0tQE
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZQKrIlvv
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq3OW6iirA
Leo654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbCDT91nYq
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFSV7loPjU
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUWOUcf8Ut
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZEMxDGfkl
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JR9cFrTtb
Angel654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0TDDSQJFV
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRY7a2Os9N
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOzWWiTSA3
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDopC76tVC
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yFHip4Co
"I'll654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm7H4PBVus
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln3cx6Biy1
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt55UFjJGB
"Yes, I would," said Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPRejkItJw
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ9yeHFPj9
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UwMNgSVir
"Yes, I'm not."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Uebk619T
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81I4Yh4pYN
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AiGJUnl7X
"Yes, I would."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGBnX2TnCu
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEKMhcv8b
"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."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenwiLzGu7p
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xELURSj9W
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPV1ghzGXV
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjYWXxkpPS
"Yes."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87jAfojGSG
Leo654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOukjRJQf2p
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4a4QLDH6K
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7PljRPRZY
talking about Angel.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5S3hhi3W
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.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE6HOC4IN6
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO2drqp0W8
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tV7nJ1aon
Before Angel could find 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfgPQ98evm
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF1klnxupz
seeing her sister, standing on her own.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyxdNx1U1r
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEfFsnNqlA
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12HR8oE1ky
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokQJ2nn9VE
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhEpIFk9kt
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
