Leo had a smile on his 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6srxd4iVR
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHIYs7pyI
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgodgSCiFl
face right in front of him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XyWxwwsFM
It was morning and the 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S9HC7Zdrb
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO4JGdnc77
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GJUC6Mf7U
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNfrMadPFb
brilliantly in the morning sun.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFFe9bZRwN
Carly had joined him 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjce1bCsUkN
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3scb3QuhLB
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCEMSXmSW
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7B4UOe8Y
birds, of course.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeIPeWlPI9
It was good she came, 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO23hterIN
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdftSnFE4Fa
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASfJ4pSI8L
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFVVTMHVF
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IOlj3GJIB
He stretched his hand 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxZWov9i1j
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQOoB1doVj
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRoXuzkXvu
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcUktEQ13Q
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS5ELRou3E
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSEQPHDAuH
She didn't respond as 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y9IQf7hVL
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNolRoXRum
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdIu2mm7kS
himself. Leo chuckled.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LjqcUfFVw
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QZLapKFwz
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUFFy7sUGS
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.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuzWtmlbeo
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCROUv6bk6
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0aXQ3COSl
"You're right. But I 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBRUFQHZdn
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcVOYsbcXO
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV0T5ZUSpD
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6zFUUnCQ6
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDOtipzX8n
They both got out of bed833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WM3ygH4bA
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40TDLmscrh
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPv4N2Hxvp
way to Carly's.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwM459aX5z
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpBFTNnxyV
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlDmYUhHgj
Carly gave him a simple 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWogamvK6
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fF9oEWpW0
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4JcLXkcvR
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHsvEcDSx
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnBuZw2eHU
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXUgHAJ9gz
He made his way 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8XA0wuFa
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOphGwJ679
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xcsuge3Wm
kitchen.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZHKRy28Lc
He wondered who could be833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGCNsQEde5
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPjTYe4mJ0
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUiakbTLYs
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtusYL2jH
little.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYwAVgdHqy
Angel was standing by 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq1VVzUyaz
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQ9rIkGt1
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQugpH1sZu
thing that shook him the moment he got there.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWBRVnAFPT
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqbqO5AlGS
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz1NZdy7zg
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtQrJjmtDZ
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6AIeMeOr
"I just had to."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH50MbaQV6
"Ummm," Leo still 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcOl2E2rs4
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphZANkxFw
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJyvJXNik
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoSW8Vxs9j
The coffee maker soon 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwMtA1sGqT
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy7GIv6N2e
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBFirEXi8D
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDfcWuz5uv
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLetSQdBm1S
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vDIcYe7hH
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl4wnk6tsO
"Why? You wanted me 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwPrRahlDP
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUBi1NDJV
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAbUCMbUVv
a cup.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFkqqokyEG
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTavVH3mUA
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lfHwWCIaX
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvRJdjnZkO
"You still don't seem 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtaphY20E6
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNH14MSdff
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLynH8s1Fzr
things."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlogN42Ycsy
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLVHUSQBj
Angel took a sip of her 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3oHzPviy
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcgJzvHgKg
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUboj21AL
spent her night with you."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fv1paHqbf
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15NcvyLR8c
Angel smirked and Leo 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnAqKW1GcC
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3i9PaT7rT
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp3ytWjvgP
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lrkyjLUIE
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3mOLtSYEF
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbJ2lhlJNR
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZtcxTpSMH
"You're right, Leo. It's833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEdKrtDAT8
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6BAkOfcSX
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHaEsoC2Ae
have any control over."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4x7t2OJoy
Leo was a little shocked833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirG0BcTkIK
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJIiVQpmR
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUm3yUM58g
game?833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gQ2yIndl
She slowly made her way 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCliBKFBGsl
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSRAJspwa
look at her and something came up in his mind.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ901dVNwl6o
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkynb77hHSa
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4T8plxGsF
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FP02Etbet
"The time you came into 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwY0lcZ1WR
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6sZ1PlDGI
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahipJmdxzY
Angel smiled at Leo. 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68GCgnzbTq
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLnecQJ6av
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsI5vYUfTq
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6gV2jF7et
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI456I4MXJL
"I don't believe you."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIE51njjpt
"You don't have to, Mr 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfyimwFXR5
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KzQzEELas
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ186pqqD2vx
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6YEC0c1mt
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90H6dpa4BE
"I'll be heading out for833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z7o262Dco
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPm6lUDBA9
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgzquWLsNK
Leo didn't have to 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A8SSMf0yr
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiicT0w2nL
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfYKhlROro
her.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ270ycw6uG0
Leo stared at the closed833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTds0k2nMDi
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPtSbpmTU5
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfU7cemuDR
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ky3TEQzv6
utterly disturbed.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJNdkEgUC8
***833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m3rYKT3Rj
In833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXGjEGIh9T
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXkV0hPHR
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2o35WDFV1
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfxayrFCp2
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXY1jhcdrk
"Morning," said Amanda.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i6tqnyceJ
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8hDopSxoz
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdWpQb5U8o
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAbr5J09ej
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU4TnYEAqN
"And833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4MzKcWTBo
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbeEoZD65x
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKNmd6byl6
"Do I?" Leo asked.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6iOT4hmD0
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48DlRuMtTr
Leo833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2d2JKg7wG
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuQfkgClV3
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl712tf2Gxi
knew the reason too.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zQu230ig4
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkDg9FJUSR
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpgTJYZxiJ
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyrxW1T0Yd
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7gUMksxAg
"Lovely."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKLIpqKgQX
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkH2hXBks1
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBjupj5Tm
Upon833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1N51OcDeF
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyNTr6wkL3
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7suQ2kU42W
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2VnB5sImA
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsmHxSJyex
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPQ1cUE5Jt
Eric833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOL0lvT2DJ
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQsD0lGTBl
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK5mJtI6Yg
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxR90Zhid6
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMP3zrIAZu
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVQAKWSVa3
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq25zZ8v0Xs
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZRe7JsD8
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a04LTpCzL
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIMMiZg95n
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHhm8QcnaD
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOJKXAAhc3
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFO0WaFtEg
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcEYykrIs4
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qlcn83fJj
Leo833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfBCxmKZCN
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6PPYdruo
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2RMwAlH3q
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd37BXb8yvP
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEFjMWSkom
Angel833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fAJ36XHI
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUP66SAdOv
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgWWGCUJ8b
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYowIkjyyK
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VFvaRWdXV
"I'll833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASx5gLCcVV
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcTy9yJahO
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGeKKL929S
"Yes, I would," said Angel.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtx4GcRbJc
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFOjVipChS
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gdr24aCMw
"Yes, I'm not."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq8i8o5bMc
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXkPlEFxPv
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxJlo3EqQ
"Yes, I would."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw32peo4Jp
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDmGAMdBK
"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."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkJhglm6qW
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLgTonM06p
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxYFefkx6m
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Yj5NzK4k
"Yes."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54VFfztNZJ
Leo833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTz4Lfq0KT
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRwgTQ8IJ
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0HPi8GyrC
talking about Angel.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcGX5yHCo6
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.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER3J8tHiG6
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIr5O3Zypy
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59YOWOBTer
Before Angel could find 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyarRJv4CU
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpzcFLGYTc
seeing her sister, standing on her own.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORUg545XTP
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdF7xOHkKR
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRVvnkbAkd
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6Qg2vcl0
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."833Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov4HRpUJ3k
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
