"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ZJuewTRR
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhhaajlAyT
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNE9buYmId
"What's up with you, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP14L3B0LD
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hztAazVOA
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7MYClznf
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpG2WcV0VD
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqtHCWOaQm
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDznvELkMZA
"And you have to make a 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50teua0xZy
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5kGh5MiQ
guests in the house so mind your manners."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rf0Z7idxU
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQTWkW182c
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsOJmylOTw
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXNDqvS2vA
"What? Those girls are here?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sm90jkgvk
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsN2IVkrkN
Mrs McDonell nodded her 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOuooeJbzD
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oCe6gJdvL
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48FAiGzenW
her face was totally hard to read.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7VN7kQ1MF
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb8sJIgcdU
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6MyjcMell
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVb6fdeBhR
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0WO1g4vnr
"May you two please have846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTGQhTWR3Q
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PxVp73ue2
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLpyQo7ilP
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT0CzAG153
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3LM0joH7e
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKe2sIGP1s
"You really know how to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzlH5mkMWb
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEVOtMFhhA
you just want to leave them out on the street?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNohYeDIxy
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J9NIPw7r3
"What's wrong with them 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8D6Z82a1p
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIuMSx7OO
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIN2yfOqrn
accident."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFEvNlHw7U
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XcaFQNvJf
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWzgVyLEG
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8BcsEvMsL
Mrs McDonell soon turned846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE8C7bcu3u
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw6yBDRvG0
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMEIyEGuB
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGKzJL9wWu
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RWzKZU05z
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E3IxW6OLg
"It's so good to finally meet you."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxm3N5vZ2
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpM7cBOu05
Angel held up her hand 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBE6GuOffh
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WbmQRQsCE
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPNXzQ7Gyt
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet5S4kTR1i
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BnrEomwcA
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Vq02PcdB
McDonell. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtXUUNFpu
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI7aUHomRu
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy8NdrDpZU
"Looks like you already 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYlDf7IPDm
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIIyVlICZ3
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bRej2YhxO
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJOyIy46NH
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbqaZHdCe4
"Now that the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00E7SRi77H
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK1NbsCnM5
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPE4x5s0of
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevcTniLa4C
guest rooms downstairs."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FGA8GChcg
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6dMoI2CFO
"You should take the room right next to mine," Amanda said to Angel. "That way I would be checking up on you from time to time."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENazMcYD1q
Angel just smiled at 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFAYhVdptk
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcnnddNPkq
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iqbydwr8T
it.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbKX5uIoA
A few seconds later, 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2x08X3TPq
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH2feyoGmd
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAuESPIb6R
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWUtKUJejN
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPNbZtvty2
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNOub3s9XR
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdW9NaaCC
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3iXTRzhj
Mrs McDonell turned to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb3VQpX1TT
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo1jHyPR3H
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFFI8Ow3J7
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK4cC59V7u
***846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LUV6I8QFJ
It846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYzFw99i5W
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCuYGTWdje
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ABc5Th8O
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjL9SHk13S
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjNHcXtT6H
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQlMIEeuug
She846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGMosmOoxP
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSx0OuUzoZ
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwt6AsWhd3
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ai2UAMLaS
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2QJpKuNVc
No846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7w6teuSn5
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3rH4llmBU
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarjZ5pcrZI
Leo.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafEu2Vqin
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UclEhG6rP
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWczecaBEdS
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ht5pMziq
unclenched her fists time and time again.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOiG8l9Cs
While846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xz7s0woZT
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazwav5TcND
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliupOYrYEH
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK4EjNzsgn
eyes.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYTlXDQXF
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8TsDZCA8e
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V7e8dyzNK
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSP5GBYz8
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN6Dc7HVmZ
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWLRidq42m
Angel846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJqugc7US4
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECZkfd3Hi
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9isxMhjEM
brother."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKwm6zIZ8B
"Don't get his hopes up," said Eric as he ruffled his brother's hair. "His way too young for all that love mambo-jumbo."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc7YHasb2l
"Mambo-jumbo?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAMgqRMmEd
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoht7G240Sn
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAg0DCuAUT
pretty as Angel here."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUVTYklRPe
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2FNsz7JNh
Oliver846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTBD7nh7lk
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlumMJ2ias
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gLwk1kCar
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9seoD3HOX
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNgHwWdUWt
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGePSqPPevy
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iVJVgdNr
Angel just gave out a wide smile at Eric and he did the same to her. Then they turned to door and there was Amanda.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZPt57Z2CH
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRfBxyCHRk
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtLMpdgkiK
"Why am I not surprised? That's just how he is anyway," said Amanda with a smile. "Well, we better head for the living room."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGQLo99wd9
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIpLkm98b5
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexjpsKlX8j
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DhsXR1rLP
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvnEPu19Bq
"Well,846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95gPzxUhPp
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b8NwlFH0u
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPcs1b7UCW
Amanda846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiPG5tk3tD
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFMCj3pFrr
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj9RjUA926
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjvjfzTxUW
"I'm never ready for such things, Eric," Angel replied. "I don't know what to do. I feel like when I see Leo, I will kill him."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16cjkDepI4
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuH6pbRMR
"You846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSjMqZKXiN
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK5T13lAqR
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88RQwYJncb
that no one knows what really happened that day."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CeG0XqvU
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEywT3nr28
Eric846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iCSrTkesW
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC5l4Ql5B2
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXCS6o2xF
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQCMM5pz6o
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYTGjZ66RA
her and not the other way around.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDRWW8qrnG
***846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcfADi1Se1
Carly846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvzAZCMOgz
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWsXWijtL8
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8QsOYwva
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvw5jbu38h
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KzhxqphpC
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvlpxZBwXb
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2UFmpr7il
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zkRdWP2ue
Carly's846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5N8aUR8iY
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsGzx7ILtH
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvfxWWbqjj
because of how her sister would react.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV9ycLkyml
Diana846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wXFjsoKQO
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpaZi9Ey9
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllsgNfQdIc
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIKK2ONpK5
earlier. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUIRw5WBwt
Diana846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcDjqEZHP
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iilqxiFyw
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTe9DB9jZY
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fBpJzSQz
she tried to hide her urge.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejBSj7aS6P
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZTGPIbeaC
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LtzIFIwQH
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tueVQPDE
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAYh9rzfXH
"Guests?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIPb0LQvZz
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhR3dRC9zT
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhAzpfHyrd
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG9cJrSi7J
Carly846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4guIt0jC2
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99ApdwhbHX
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnRmPoehQy
Angel.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14NtGhh6I
"Leo,846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC0ssQjs33
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcUWEYnlz9
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CzOtrS92m
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb2IjlHF7i
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD59E7x59kj
Leo846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOkJn0jeoh
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuI6fgrIOY
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPLw6VCrI
"I'm846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCboOUZYzr
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrbFJbJvwH
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35b7ip4YdI
Leo846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYvbk5Mzl
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIdKXJZ6Z
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaei5fAEHkI
it's own.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBwBknoUhk
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpkxF3vfRa
Leo846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9EWsQ2sf
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56exBWEeDX
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz205MwTqB
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PDctggoFG
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ELmeNtIET
being here in the McDonell household.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGf1iS3VMW
When846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMpLVME3E
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKisE3xUkf5
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM01mCkwMgJ
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRy2qxiMB2
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll6UkD02vH
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvaTy3ttB1
than they thought.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYerM7mTmyA
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSPQpsYCn
"I....eh...,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI8juVzkUI
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcCB2eEJF
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09cVyoMVkX
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YNNxtxLMh
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBlApbjEz3
the minute.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXz80Pfbqg
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkoLjm13GN
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYdlQlZmSs
"Never better."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl3TBgotBK
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDnm0ttm2L
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhVB5s80gp
"Sure846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtViElKqhUM
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6IMkji9Xl
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU8GlvD7cu
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaBILu28Np
nothing but silence between them.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf96HJW4ys
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTxO0AV5W
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBeWG2GI6K
"Okay."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW3A9DLT42
Carly846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGhNim4AFp
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aUWxnTjhj
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92syL87hjg
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNQO8lchcc
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXCF5ZVK3h
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3Gz4mujA
holding her hand.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYsNuKeVgu
While846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t18eMCcdY
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAv4biIIz5
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWiMZqa0IX
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAPwbTdjz0
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GXUpVsvvC
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPYHKHT7kW
When846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKysft9DUm
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TSqhjP6pm
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1BiCFQDOE
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaxMypBOuC
a living nightmare.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuGXuZJ0ow
He846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUFVFjANhA
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ7AF5oDCT
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ugDVmnNa
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5RRLAC3CD
accident and he had never apologised for it.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF19hzM8La
He846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sk0U0ZTo2
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSdyF26sIg
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkivpgKpJV
definitely kill him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxF1L6YXip
