Leo had a smile on his 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnFsMZC7Y
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VpFIkivHT
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vMbwspTi
face right in front of him.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUm2DqAjVp
It was morning and the 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A7vo5EZKp
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G3nYxzqZe
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfWLaoAxx
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMFPIeo4bp
brilliantly in the morning sun.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNkEe76NY
Carly had joined him 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedCOoB0fzf
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQiK9ukuRU
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuH0qdHN0F
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxOC4XqlLk
birds, of course.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UrBWMC3v6
It was good she came, 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJL7snbLG
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjIhoi65CA
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlQxauwO8b
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd71xQqD7oU
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA8oEUXdf6
He stretched his hand 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpQeEMrISx
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj69UMORljn
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBPLL5VbQL
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BG3TQkTb9
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgie9sSphVC
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSUL9isylg
She didn't respond as 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVw2IFuKzV
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFwPYHlELY
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFt0fMFG2d
himself. Leo chuckled.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jGFRSszfU
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGV1Y7ze9l
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKxUllFYyz
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.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0PaSNbm2m
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakjqRhRJYS
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00C3tsImpH
"You're right. But I 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEdpQzOXDF
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXEtWL1KsI
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQOX6c6KBF
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1VPMAknAo
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGxeVULj6k
They both got out of bed770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cIPK5aQXR
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL7Dhkx2YO
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcTPwFH0oP
way to Carly's.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrnG1GLD2
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G1bsZ3qe9
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT39NOVygN
Carly gave him a simple 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBCTuO82a
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VelDh9CUM
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6XhAmWRu
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9cAZNoScr
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsBlp6U3P0
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwpXYK6mjI
He made his way 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjLRDkBUr1
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZBsaMeMPd
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5OR43UuPO
kitchen.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJXXDBXhq
He wondered who could be770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYapmrEvGd
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEUvQtVc15
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1gdxMkeOc
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlEqvITjnj
little.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzR5nuBWg4
Angel was standing by 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qVe6tRvD
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgseUQTgI
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHLp9MKZbt
thing that shook him the moment he got there.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RTBG60y8M
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYkd0qYhX6
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoib8pzt5uN
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZAFCzPhgG
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g57N1x755
"I just had to."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhf1VFahSa
"Ummm," Leo still 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7NAJl5RR
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ2tY26xOc
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q5OsgiAnP
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx42zPQ40qB
The coffee maker soon 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6VAx2PUns
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5980EQA4Xu
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds6XN7jVCE
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ffKfwHrjq
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytceJhLPxh
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8WvrRiySd
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQFUBV4JY2
"Why? You wanted me 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wyQ8Nv9be
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7wHJ4TUA3
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74kaK7bLjX
a cup.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0oNeeaNmT
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwpiDL40xa
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9R7akM3Qa
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod8abBOlJP
"You still don't seem 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqW8yPQzK
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbpIgaYmMf
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMYJ6klTTu
things."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLLBrcE5F
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoGhy2DyZF
Angel took a sip of her 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Og00Zvno
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqvMDLj4It
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYCFe9imE6
spent her night with you."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm10VKEgRaX
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOqwtUqRq7
Angel smirked and Leo 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANpoYiTSP7
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCUV0HpvHe
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZQjoNqAK
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfoeltqfo
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWKoiyf0QO
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMX1RVvf0
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoGXLQ3RjN
"You're right, Leo. It's770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwwMybtxB
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLtHN9SaVe
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvOvEbhVjp
have any control over."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHEfI61LBU
Leo was a little shocked770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIzVJbejxc
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2srVv9MuO1
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq20gFJ5HWQ
game?770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtw8mhJcxJ
She slowly made her way 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSuO91f1Xv
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2oBREJfYE
look at her and something came up in his mind.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXyKl6nOY8
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4jgBqReWS
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqglN9t5as
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYCyZBkQ2p
"The time you came into 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBmgQEWyUl
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rn0fvChSP
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuazaoc51O
Angel smiled at Leo. 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRcTEKl9s
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT65QTW3vzb
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYljkhP9D
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5TDMuQXg
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwmRDpkrpN
"I don't believe you."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1w3vMex9O
"You don't have to, Mr 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku0Bx16QQT
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEyaWR3hMu
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHpVbl2Zh
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuc1Xhi59d
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoAhfY2Ks
"I'll be heading out for770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc7uRFJ7nK
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7eAfopRBd
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9E52vu66Q
Leo didn't have to 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlPqhbxMMQ
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU4TVB4CI1
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDVj1R2nr1
her.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ki0p2lQU
Leo stared at the closed770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnRsn6O2OZ
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGNmDyYhJz
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR299Wkz8e
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU9ajNDYUw
utterly disturbed.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHsP5ukp01
***770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpfYk1x0MU
In770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1madOsJ9ep
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnwu1r3PM
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbeLUw25EA
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwqTyVxMS
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowuPjmrc5Q
"Morning," said Amanda.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBkW1Uegku
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfxpHHaS9G
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew6nqqUmTV
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2FNzREak
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0wKZWeSR7
"And770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoollNDMPa
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPHb3yfHTA
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRzi9lNFFr
"Do I?" Leo asked.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYGz7NU0oR
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaK856E6bW
Leo770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhAzr7xZAl
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5i8oQClzQ
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzrOBhh0g
knew the reason too.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoI0Wk8Ng0
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5kLVrbGk
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFguhFgpzGQ
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wxLv6jue7
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLctEsq0zTj
"Lovely."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWM6cdnsTR
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL1HXkc7a5
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2RuRYaRNP
Upon770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoqaQ8CBhG
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS80Ss6zgK3
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qx5r2HdCI
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x40nX6WID
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU7c0QEUgf
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGrsIn6XE5
Eric770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4B3YIlN5z
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplLGJ7TeV
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDtYoV0wos
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz4DlUDva8
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bXnhySSg
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLL0Aol2Rz
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUqYHOxOBQ
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7uaVtAMbU
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeeMHfkrMc
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QoaKG2xxr
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7WW1rUHEH
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7cySj1yZT
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZNLmb9kWn
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYoLZ7cc2b
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SxSlzUKIH
Leo770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOVaBGTklR
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6fjXuP8mJ
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwVRJ1wMLv
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEsVTzN9gG
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAp5YAhJ8i
Angel770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiEO3Zb71I
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPks1kvnoAo
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIPoJrnc1l
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfrRFzzCqa
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu8nGYUgDi
"I'll770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lcPwABeqa
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgYreDDYne
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdx5JMHeln
"Yes, I would," said Angel.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91MmPfmBSP
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBsKCJC8nH
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GMLpcev3T
"Yes, I'm not."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q6JIzqqJM
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tq4jdJegk
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55qWh3RP0c
"Yes, I would."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJaqGbJ6dT
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzkEIgvV4k
"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."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKE28lqJ9i
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GvyJtcfE
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Sp2M3GnQ
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTgeDjrxog
"Yes."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEBacNB7Tr
Leo770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHVS55hGM
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTuR84N6xv
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo66aUhrWil
talking about Angel.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5IA8IrXvz
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.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT7Blxvm8Y
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk33b60pjt
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZDpjkLv6
Before Angel could find 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRgN2PWwku
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDGYPXL0T
seeing her sister, standing on her own.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFXWjvFzh
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpyPAwDSr
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7TCU7NeM
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZENUd2Pjp
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1LQr5XUct
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
