Leo had a smile on his 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpyKbSHSPV
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmOSoIAjpI
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNzrDOV6IN
face right in front of him.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DwnZkptEb
It was morning and the 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorJSOjntqu
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHPUKJ7jGi
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIroOoEEcT
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5N0Hz4Vhs
brilliantly in the morning sun.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc9TtEjvNA
Carly had joined him 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP24IJjg4m
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlhHWBrJDq
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IUKNuMsFS
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnf2BHgl7N
birds, of course.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9wba1FzUy
It was good she came, 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8rNoIbRrR
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzSyebclps
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJBdKNWP2
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN8vc22Jth
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCpDzHyv80
He stretched his hand 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm5PxlrtDh
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIXqQBGyh
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaF2WwMTlg
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOzxjU8Tjd
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PY57eBf23
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YnyraWVy
She didn't respond as 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9asqw6Vip6
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNILcgt6lQ
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfOPtWxJE
himself. Leo chuckled.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VWU6J7Wr2
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssMcYd9McY
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhSb9CfEYQ
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS8VcbRPX3
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz88e8JQna
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElx4rP4Gh6
"You're right. But I 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhhiYpGBtq
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSztlZTMvkU
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj1qfkE7uV
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ9OdfSV27
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vprwTYQkD
They both got out of bed745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N2LMakSmI
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyjKfC2qvM
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8orOwGgrsG
way to Carly's.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7fFjeCA8
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMQqPobk0
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSa067y17G
Carly gave him a simple 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGdyWFxHur
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkznaTwfyp
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNYWrJk7ty
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwLEr7M94P
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXucCXnDoLM
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwBadtIQOr
He made his way 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApLSuYBRf
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFXe5I5iCA
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVepmLKfxML
kitchen.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMFbAGBecc
He wondered who could be745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L4FUdynhI
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O1IQaDLRa
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1VSj5Ca9E
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Cm4yJxUb
little.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4hVy0GBTx
Angel was standing by 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIPZ7uWIBi
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MjmovdCqL
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqMPYv4HkJ
thing that shook him the moment he got there.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpK2q0R5is
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw32tYUu8Cg
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPXIzDi5Bz
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fBNpMiw8x
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1viMyYmD
"I just had to."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr64UNrI0I
"Ummm," Leo still 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWKwmVFul
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52NYsEAPbv
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMxcsp7UM
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNR6jeLIjn
The coffee maker soon 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnycA27Abh
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukSn1cq3z
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JpAn5f6jo
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrSbnxKrSP
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k4y8dLesG
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDu4nLvQhl
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNVCtpB499
"Why? You wanted me 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCrAJImMYl
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSnPETXO14
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFzoX7iEu7
a cup.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88sE5cMj4c
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFycapQ6GJO
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xqZxnpMIa
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtpnb93v2
"You still don't seem 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqt2F5W3ZS
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBfkluGumU
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlNYhZH0T2
things."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2nGgehuL2
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXKcCCs5kY
Angel took a sip of her 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO4tiNSTvx
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2hh1XXZRK
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpv98yItEj
spent her night with you."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGpc7KQcBY
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTjCIpsgDX
Angel smirked and Leo 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxNHuHE4Wr
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gzpkAEdna
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNefC0FWRn
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4sTaGXHW
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdWmP9YXxN
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGpUl5xYi
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTZbptEVR
"You're right, Leo. It's745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRceKYNaX72
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQV16MGjIj
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOnqkVuCqj
have any control over."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCAYNuOIcz
Leo was a little shocked745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvExHPNDaZi
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vzH351q50
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMTNh4NQG
game?745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7igMVhqQi4
She slowly made her way 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOaCTkCXi8
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3KwSvTDdu
look at her and something came up in his mind.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUiWdPq6wr
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwYH6sectL
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb7TMEpHqE
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMra5VOxHGF
"The time you came into 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d6yANMOh4
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOiHXMzSiG
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Gk0mQ7Yb
Angel smiled at Leo. 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrEMyz8NsG
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi28IXRSt8Y
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqmLaJWII9
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzlPDQrWTN
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl2XOjDgC4
"I don't believe you."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLDTvawsJL
"You don't have to, Mr 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFbS21WFZ2
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97N1dcDJTp
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OqNWj5o6a
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5DiJSzrS
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptSJH4Wjg0
"I'll be heading out for745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUE1BG6hB
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyraduxjqzC
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAD7XumhK3
Leo didn't have to 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxJWD4IJ4
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NSwtKHbJQ
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO7ntaYpRw
her.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsjAw24Wyw
Leo stared at the closed745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUyHhwdCw
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28rHzC7Oii
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkERNwthFJD
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUvP0pWEZX
utterly disturbed.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX23NwTI6hD
***745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfeAZNLYsN
In745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1U3mSlrDe
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXgB5iEAbj
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLaJ0uMxLx
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4RdWVbqO
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzRisJH7WC
"Morning," said Amanda.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsWSjvEges
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiw16esn9N
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndCIflZJ8
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYzsWyXBpi
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlAlEnx5HS
"And745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98AyLMSTFt
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3oZWfme30
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVXIq0np3
"Do I?" Leo asked.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3cC1UWfAd
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqnSYgSNUv
Leo745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLthuNqCPU
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsTl9OPfQr
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPht8Wsp3Sj
knew the reason too.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ApwwM9Fno
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcbV3LMb2
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKOYJlyCzj
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk94kN9aQu2
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC0w2NeDBB
"Lovely."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegmM9qOEsK
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5jktr8T7I
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsukj8apN3D
Upon745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9lTMJdREO
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmBZyg4Kqb
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41HLMjF7SG
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCT5by5cRj
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMztCzO87r
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxLQt1xK8e
Eric745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOU17lfOtn
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MI6CmxEZa
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30bodW0DTu
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CzoonFkfb
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEq3hjTcU8
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP303LcR5hZ
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7aM1bG4kX
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKZfZoYTSk
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeqMkFvHkY
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA38BybljcW
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmmAVSbZm8
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHoB2B0Nap
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gu1w62eXv
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHzahX1wHJ
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQm1fX4NqO
Leo745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WxGcfEvw
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ6NcSsyhr
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEklZ07piNB
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN442jO8hl
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkHkHC40eV
Angel745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06LihVln6d
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiB61qdks
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxNZxBmAgP
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkETCg4KGl
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJbAY5Wrk6
"I'll745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVCGRcyH3o
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz62jFfD1FU
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPlpcolYT
"Yes, I would," said Angel.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHF5d1M8KF
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulR3wSa561
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ET85jQEoK
"Yes, I'm not."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jtOaI8JK
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4ToqKptV
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IdwqH2LdS
"Yes, I would."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Sb1aBWp3
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodueHHByK
"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."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHsBfN7kvy
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLD9WP79Qb
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85bR8cp3K
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccluBPOopz
"Yes."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxfA0Wi1BT
Leo745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczzMqgBCMd
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1CHtDFpsE
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV4e84R6oi
talking about Angel.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3hUcFMcHh
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.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYiagISY5Z
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKbIbqeyzN
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOPQYZKOKR
Before Angel could find 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjaxWdKXeh
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8RnOcSroP
seeing her sister, standing on her own.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iIe0bYUCV
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQgkMIXzZ
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOL8veMgW
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo34aQIFZ7
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."745Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTMRlFDbo1
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
