"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbsIRIDAth
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB3vnsLbMx
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuvx0SC8TQ
"What's up with you, 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZmiNVSuhR
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNjkJyGWv1
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhxhnlSA5S
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Ls6srP9O
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU9G9zEQ70
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGJSyNcFDc
"And you have to make a 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HhvkuK7p
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NcCMp1mE
guests in the house so mind your manners."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjwp83GiJ
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWanTlxrw2
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfnFzZaIdP
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vjP2K6BJt
"What? Those girls are here?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffKn37R9bR
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrC2ibXyzr
Mrs McDonell nodded her 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vnyhG6dBo
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hiEknzkJD
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGXqTKCfds
her face was totally hard to read.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt1CtEVWXo
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbWEVMZcVY
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIf5A6V5wO
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpvXNwqr46
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTShPkTUvkX
"May you two please have769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwOpiPETZ
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rBoswRivM
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaJFE3VDo7
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTblZ0jJmh
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEmFFSPtiA
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztpa55ZFB
"You really know how to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA8wT2WCuC
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7n6OhJ0RE
you just want to leave them out on the street?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL63GJBb7qD
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE8sMLFhDT
"What's wrong with them 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQw2Y9uabc
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1fvXxXtRr
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFWLV3Obj9
accident."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEATnoUoizO
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ESmejxqy
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmNWxNI9E
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4JR8X56Su
Mrs McDonell soon turned769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEJHQ2GNLH
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkummQMG9U
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UoBPJgobt
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN9evIh1SE
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszl7QIt1Wj
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3SY13eyNB
"It's so good to finally meet you."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYhvnKEhWC
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxryR9wV4pQ
Angel held up her hand 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtZN5l1usr
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTI3AQB9c2
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqQsQcvNTE
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qNUPermMS
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfj19CIcIU
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnm76f8vQ8
McDonell. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLBsyO2ix5
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHLHsn7te7
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTRM3HKh9R
"Looks like you already 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2eeNKULYl
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq45ITutwqB
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIn6CqHoky
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSGG8kc6xE
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxhZHheHc
"Now that the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jd4fxj3RI
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJUEUcEGQ4
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xkg1sFxmm
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcqjx9QDtK
guest rooms downstairs."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1237oQgy
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypI5Ntqftp
"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."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDGyWsfXe
Angel just smiled at 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHA4Bxi1g
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFts7UXLGeE
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnuZdOD4jC
it.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnfJuJz89x
A few seconds later, 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUaD4YKevt
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uDa1Azlee
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2HxrZW4Di
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqqVJvBe93
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nq7zDXfIJ
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8YY8HvoP5
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB3Q4ITG8p
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfu6shKPfA
Mrs McDonell turned to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1vMFCTULE
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4dKIvo3jV
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5txgG5pP6
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykWuHZ0HPf
***769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUpmw2pxv0
It769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU9PngqUW8
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13PPI0DVz
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqYWFtg7sI
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6vLBVWYq2
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY67Z9J7fq
769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWuV15YEQU
She769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu3edsgFIN
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DZQLrY9rf
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCZEHxZ8o
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpPhlIfp9m
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihjIwiIL6A
No769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0s9w9VeWW
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMv1J5aYLi
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwMzupMVJO
Leo.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIgYmJSx6q
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYA8RchSwD
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Qp8KVDTa
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkrfslO6Y6
unclenched her fists time and time again.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwwhLRbsC9
While769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzhDE4twBC
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK5Rptxuwl
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64j0AYLZXY
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSgs8ZET4t
eyes.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7u1toFucX
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDpKOsgTeR
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGSi89mht
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp79J3TYz8T
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCz0TTs81i
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcAuBCbdH4
Angel769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IIC8LWI9k
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbfKdc3383
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh1eDI1qrp
brother."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeksYRgX6k
"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."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt39dQ2hBR
"Mambo-jumbo?769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxDpkBBy8D
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0sH9EbNFU
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDaeBheGPX
pretty as Angel here."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO0ttWFQMf
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGSal26Kc6
Oliver769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qdwks4lUw
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGDGrFvtY
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTjO1DwIz4
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VLwj0jqib
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQ4INEWs0
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk97N1Y0jM
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08nsh83UgE
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.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwUFV8gr0M
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH4hMJCTTu
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkscwjtXrv
"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."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xewb2IApv
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO5WAVffx1
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjVMwkRpz
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypZh2WPPn
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9I4KqYJNY
"Well,769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwPW4W3wS
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFHnMrKTdI
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD65kiJPk9
Amanda769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q20rlobZY
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbqgZIygUF
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAJokWuGnd
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaJIHuP5bq
"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."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92dnt1ixd5
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d8NcuN1N0
"You769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlOkMn2IyQ
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Qz3FysRl
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf5jgqHWx6
that no one knows what really happened that day."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsea2l5Z40S
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiOFwvstHz
Eric769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmylBTMqAU
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzwBCAIoeD
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQzgvQ3td5
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpSqZjHz3H
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUalAEtRxRS
her and not the other way around.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHnqa63B2K
***769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOG8Xh5z13
Carly769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrnOcRpNpj
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqBJAdVccJ
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTevmqUKL8P
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXkTN3otE
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEBWx4SMWw
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GCmIAbUxN
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHjq3HsSSg
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhvKqRGb44
Carly's769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCyGe1OQpu
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHGECUexoV
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEs6IodPv8
because of how her sister would react.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQlQw8mHmr
Diana769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDOtzVHxC
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP0Ogt50cG
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKMh6YhcJ6
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq84D8WHuJP
earlier. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3IhUTp3ta
Diana769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y4rMwzUXB
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6K6sdspiQ
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjRyxzkp1N
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKj9qClmAh
she tried to hide her urge.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHscTfrF5Z
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1CgVHefoN
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4rsFVp65G
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5xxB7netI
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDn82lofST
"Guests?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxH28oa61P
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFRrFtbWk0
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38kvNPv3B2
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K8JSStGNi
Carly769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7uXGsOrN
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqzPh7IqOZ
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXnijaEHdD
Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1He5MlIua7
"Leo,769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6SFWzD5XF
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWKvF3cLd
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs4jBS7qBO
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGhUc7oDHP
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4IIUACFAh
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9eC6XKj9P
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhyLkWj7NP
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEthbyZf8FQ
"I'm769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu2vO8ZWlk
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q52N84r4F
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrxGpBxTu4
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5QWPxIIG
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtCDu0Tng
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh97c9Y4gi
it's own.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaTsV4Yeys
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV0Y6VQ7K1
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXCQVn8s3Z
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvadTAAvR5
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWHoeV7WBU
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1phmyvJhQ
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwv541GUq
being here in the McDonell household.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtNEXPPdjQ
When769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHg1MI1S7
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MmJf8IvFD
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3em44nZVPv
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhqSsZHe6f
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E3cVfLBbZ
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgypJt8uAL
than they thought.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRZAqbb2or
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJYWcS795H
"I....eh...,"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNzUFbI2KD
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSaAaIuWq
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUXMOzIYBW
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyfr08tTb2
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb6TRJiyaL
the minute.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rcSCo5oEs
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUGxTI5MQ8
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoykurRcse
"Never better."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1hwWuXLrr
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXURUFqCiO
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJp1lrDhcA
"Sure769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDwggk4aH
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0DjCH59Dl
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84tREtvQvB
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXNGjK0CbB
nothing but silence between them.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSrHj40Bwg
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk5N58BDv3
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCNDoy8fI7
"Okay."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmP4YOhM0
Carly769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLhQe2u36d
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqjvNdNSe8
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXFlnj9tAg
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf565b7YZG
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheFSon6Aiu
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlpAFdF5mv
holding her hand.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiUPA7VO0U
While769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCCUXlhMdd
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeEaYkUzkB
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBUyd3mf65
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxMTEzXPJH
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh0SYJQIdc
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Tj1k9xw1
When769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwO4b1rfXL
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8NOggN18n
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQnTMfvHFW
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWCNDDinK
a living nightmare.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqEi9Da3WC
He769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieRkkTnKaO
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ShPjGqsgf
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKBKNg27SC
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFbQSZYwg
accident and he had never apologised for it.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD4cGfWKiz
He769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07E09O6oa
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUFwuwZQxv
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeyFePjHxV
definitely kill him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7NHN15se
