The phone alarm woke Leo728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW9DC3v7h6
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDP80iQXQl
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6eZBD61ns
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMtSSX8jw1
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItl4FHXc8o
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjhuScmmNP
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiL0CdtVO
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI29dKQjGKT
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55VW7ZbcPY
After taking a shower, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVo4ufTY4v
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0DtHHXhKu
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa2MPgU39v
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2GCOLwoe1
ever. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEtdT9aCt2
He soon went out of his 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mNy6NSbkO
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuQNp2tRSi
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLWKazN8XX
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHIKOhIbO0
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJSIY2RzTr
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCdOxVBMoD
him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3xPm9RX6
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Zl7DBlPW
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIevnTwAGd
"Don't ruin the mood by 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8tZD9cXPB
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXuYEIv2HD
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCKcjx2Nmi
Leo smiled as he 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cgFQDxgTY
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0JOaP7RJQ
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAt6IWF8A0
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm93bYRhE6
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepbWLEAEpI
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1TYnmmd9N
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKj3M0Nijo
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhri1caxJs
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx5ns8JBQR
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXWBoFo6AA
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOjh2zBmVG
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M1SpNZEEi
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwJYhNrDTu
"She is, actually," said728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM6Bs7tdDx
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kKOslm3vy
anything to you. You have me around."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHYL3rMaxf
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL6hIe2MWS
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA93jcNpBF
Before Carly could say 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLHjbaRYh0
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChTwE2es8q
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dJMQbx39R
"What was that?" Leo asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g6G6q4RqE
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56k2mY5wEB
Carly got to Angel's 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9AQpMGoH
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7f340xrJU
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxBpiyWam5
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOV4RmGZU
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkVR4t2W1H
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcw8E8nnX
"I'm fine, don't worry about me," said Angel. "I was just trying to get something but I ended up dropping to the floor."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW7eIay42w
"You know you're not 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR2NwDxNNc
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi5CU0E8gU
for help. You never change, Angel."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uhW51qOhx
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe551qd0Tr
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTEMyH5VTg
"No thanks, I'm fine."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJcP0RB8kt
Angel went on to look at728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwTZGU7Md7
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAy0S7ToB3
then she went on to stare at Carly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuAkx3RCsM
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFQbFkAz7p
Carly paused as she 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5M4EuOXU
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVz2GDV7R
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBZqvfpceO
Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Ws5ct8c1
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtphEFouiDy
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KnCvLg7rk
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GKIXCcyNd
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdNJRHaJ8h
hurt or anything."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhzePC0hSF
"May you please drag me 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkkAKP95C3
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZbGqCFIe
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLFmAoDwK9
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYt12SP2HX
"Just like Carly said, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErYzeo3VPw
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdePbUY6mZW
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUikG4URbq
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f7W2zqeSj
The room soon had an 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjIOoFuwOH
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN8DYyuLht
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTcetmezJf
awkwardness.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpktkupID
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONFRKUlnt
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83p0t1xbrB
"Sure."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQjYTLwiAh
Leo stared at Carly 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBJFs1dpu4
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFNylhqhM
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbixqLIdmXW
avoid any more problems.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0MPvSaw6l
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY9Io9nleG
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPOGvUF3YV
"Tea would be lovely, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNK639sbei
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1AFdeoZYL
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkwHk9nG9
could have helped you."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmf3rQV7an
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8X7VkP3tw
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPV1HtlqYu
Carly gladly smiled at 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoRARACMW3
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkwkBJK5O
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9l8BLcHxN
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQTufSUUhG
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOazYm0YvdB
And Leo? It was strange 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRmHS2p1Fe
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUtcbcJNnC
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyMNiTxQEP
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuI446kgaG
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dek5lcj5
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYMKgGVQbJ
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZIKqQ3dzI
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlU3bQAsFB
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHTTMvk9O6
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaYMzo3cNI
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tvblsOgrx
While Amanda and Angel 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8PoJdvt7w
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdTp3aGVl
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd4ksuGRQe
at the door.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOnnD17aZE
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZueN0EwrM
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyzipYQ8Pa
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPVtIEV89o
"No, she didn't." Carly 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYdJ6vbg5x
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5JXD5KpWK
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb9dKYiB3A
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsW8fKmnHP
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGvy72UJYB
"I don't care about 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTnvbLS3XL
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXy2ePXVT
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7yiXUeerI
are real."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5QUloSsSU
Carly smiled and she 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLOtOizZHM
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Gcnfu2Ek
that she didn't want him to let her go.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRb91jMl48
She quickly turned 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLMpOfF3aJ
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vkuZTlHwx
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOdX0YtbaI
They would freak out."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXryPyPCwT
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW8TvQjpYB
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwNeadMVx
Leo continued to look 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt4dtrFhMH
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZM8trYcc
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUariHwOzzr
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8mVLRIwqt
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyLy9xzj85
"What's going on here?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCdkaPN1LP
Leo and Carly almost 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa2JfSAtC7
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IYZ9zjmSs
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVXrhDH3pw
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6d6VmJxhA
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oNdz9PHjA
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWa7QLYQc4
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrfGR4TZxr
"For Amanda and Angel."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9T7YfWfpM
"They are both awake?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jgkhkNbIC
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvX0b5CrbD
Mrs McDonell looked at 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw1mLzbGqQ
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25CSDiM2ZZ
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eihLJCmxY
off.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl01LedS8n
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUEk1y6Zps
Carly took the tray 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG5YFRdx9H
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXbkzEDJBA
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1jRNbbCa
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSfdpOBmKm
corner.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnJ7dxZDXN
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98p5FJ76wf
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVyhZuuelC
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWruKOAgof
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERhrr9yR3b
Leo made his way to the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gHAwphX0j
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15pFHuqmBI
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx5d2eowmc
By seven, almost 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvv94jR9hd
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVPLN48VeN
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw2u0MdlU9
the lovely smell was intoxicating.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTbjavoI8c
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuSgglbovu
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wu2l75IgX
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdKttHPflc
time to go to school.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDKn4xZg3
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONE0L7rPbi
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeN4AX4MdM
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63WqSZxg90
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWk60UAv4
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix3ZmM353b
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf6d5efLOv
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9D30Q6gql
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxaK8JrFD8
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaqB0LqXS0
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvznLIyFsr
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHoQJmRc3
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpC5wMQeIS
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8zDAm0z8A
them.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYMEcqMKa
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWdd1FaZ8f
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpswE6qPa0o
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75DUDd31m
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4le9RMWoH
"Right," Leo replied.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHM4CI8Mtw
Carly went to sit right next to Diana, and at the same time, faced Leo. Leo couldn't help but smile at her and she did the same.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFbNAGR2UQ
Just as they were about 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cYkznUAZG
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDacmsHBx
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubDSwLjuVZ
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6woLNxQKn
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZEgEsemfD
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j2DwnMk0u
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9vWwO4VBy
Before Leo could reply 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V0KVUhOLS
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU5h9FuzRq
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY28EcWXcl
looked away feeling irritated.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7jCWWcaI2
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmiGKSpal
Everyone else on the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HHACdcPH2
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH29g2Ykdc
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMXdWwrmtt
except Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dr2Uvb3rC
"This is just lovely," 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWWabQYfR8
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWejwL0DE
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXAJIo9I1D
really early."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr9LDaQm7r
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzGh5c6l0e
"Your wife isn't here, 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL0ATD1kW2
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirR1aPN6RY
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVCuyATmZO
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZHw8oi4q
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqN1544pkU
Angel almost spelt the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1PHaSi2JE
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88qCPLYmTx
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DDdsggKG7
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkXWTEWAj8
just ran a hand through his hair.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVRDBqndIc
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LMDfITweE
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3muiWzg1Is
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsX5sivV3E
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0EkvozT8v
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8uTT3in31
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4tF8xKihC
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBNCQWKIjb
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoYMQqR5L5
"Have to go to school," he said.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtldCFTJH1
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXjNSRFnrf
Oliver came round the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKunxQmWxRF
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe2xYOy794
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYJTwU9m2r
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQdeFPOkd
ears.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48aeptiTLl
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTKvr5HTWX
"So adorable," said Carly.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1i0w5FQYR
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjOWVyZfy
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM0YBfuVO6
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXqr8LcrM
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRsK7a7UfV
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UteTQrTrj
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ByTSCWOS
"Well, I do."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYAexkpMnj
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyy72AIGYu
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DhrvfKl1N
"I would listen to her if I were you," said Mr McDonell. "We better head to the office. You and I have a lot of work to do."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSXVUSmFMk
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEXMW4ndm
"I'll find you in the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhAhnexSN
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ29mT6YAa
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZIlogejrs
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g4ggKKCyX
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Hu182Ue3
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWBq40MwxQ
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PT8fCHntI
"I'm not a kid for you to be patting my head like that," said Angel as she looked up at Eric with an annoyed look.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcXREBgvp
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnQxepTAJ4
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kgF7agLr2
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKfSyIZBdZ
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHugFkrHVal
Before Carly could 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IumjBENwe
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiAuywh1JL
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDedwYAipBt
interested about what her sister was up to.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSZV2B74yl
"I'll join you," said 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXwwJZgEkt
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqreYs6QxYg
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTneSZV3Me9
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4JSWct0UM
"I'll go get ready," 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0q308WtrN
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9d5z7aku
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCqZqoDviE
times.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3bfnsLida
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76ELjnZS4t
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV7wIAfSDQ
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvQdh3Lki0
The last thing Leo 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MER7FrXr2
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoQTwACciA
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPymUGtasL
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn4TFWnfnc
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf4i3hd5j0
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwrvhLIVYp
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7u1qAM8qm
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnqtYdblmW
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvksRsVzjh
"Yes. It's really 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoY6SKjkAM
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqkGZbvIOW
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kkFn4Wsxy
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuP1Wn8rbO
since I'm so old."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwl3f5cTTZ
Angel and Leo looked at each other. They were stuck now. They wouldn't like to hurt Amanda's feelings. Not in anyway, at least.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXj7SpfTIh
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwYeT4A2ke
"Thank you, Angel," said Amanda. She turned to look at Leo. "See how sweet she is? Now, are you going to hear me out or what?"728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3zVdLSkR
Leo sighed. He looked 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLlOsQKpdy
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkg7S1wDIj
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtg60LA6Nz
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlJnYXOLV6
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."728Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmcnd2cxyv
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
