Leo had a smile on his 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUWgyjWcmr
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG6wVF2svU
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGO7a7lbx
face right in front of him.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgz7hRdNIR
It was morning and the 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zQ3MGqQRT
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JvA6Ily7o
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgdz1eYeUr
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hP5R9aON
brilliantly in the morning sun.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDpNdqWFgv
Carly had joined him 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoa0OjcEjV
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cdun18Usn
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFafqPWfLd
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly749mrbDU
birds, of course.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS78jROTR6m
It was good she came, 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVc9CwuYHy
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnIisv970c
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDlogpFYGJ
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuss28EtYTd
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWfKcc452
He stretched his hand 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9ylbKJnn8
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPkf0K2jqk
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvk4Cxbdxn
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ngGC0w8M
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7giZi0YxtU
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJeBM14Vfc
She didn't respond as 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYhf94XNPz
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x5UBr4S4W
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIp3Krvzc
himself. Leo chuckled.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMha6fSEZC
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIfHbjeID4
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0ObjV7MR
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.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoXRTqSGyZ
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPjpeJaFQ0
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrHWNflpbm
"You're right. But I 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxA1inO89Z
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sG19GCn0
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu1qlfX4HD
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QwayoV5jW
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ct4IfadM
They both got out of bed798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzR30S0sqG
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcdDmCJXQ
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0u8XSOimP
way to Carly's.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeVyhxFlm3
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfguxWqrITT
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRffCOP6hDl
Carly gave him a simple 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJqscdM85X
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRkrCKMDk8
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSi9qQCwV9
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspcASA0yWw
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUBoorWclx
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ976hq31b1Y
He made his way 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuKdbg6AxF
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyESndGcp9p
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp890bbJroq
kitchen.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxTnC2zw7F
He wondered who could be798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQdMGan7z7
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcBDB0Y28
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGzGUPbZAe
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTvtjH9NXD
little.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Ml4IljWg
Angel was standing by 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7CiPoQWtn
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxoMl8h8Gs
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3drrW2GNi
thing that shook him the moment he got there.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQNa2zwZF
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGsGiwCFcD
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdjGkH7At
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8qKzX6JkB
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91b83Ktfdh
"I just had to."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlvT0TJBBF
"Ummm," Leo still 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSejXmnAWFG
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUk9sSNz8C
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OYrG4vyMj
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE7WUgoZsC
The coffee maker soon 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVlmxoGaOS
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZe5Jr0jpM
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLiXtnY7H
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41gQdqiskt
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM0nMXGuWg
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp7afWBqW9
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaASwk9WP
"Why? You wanted me 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3pPr0E4OQ
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtdStZE2JS
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAIKv4b9lk
a cup.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7qg0ukCL
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08zphBunVM
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0hFpEu3Gy
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJpITTD1o6
"You still don't seem 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAjwB9dBop
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7pj3NEOH8
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtGRxBo547
things."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRMMTscFle
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8uB03gPwB
Angel took a sip of her 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghPCpzLsNU
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61oPKmuET
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQfJMHKcuP
spent her night with you."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5sqZcfdYg
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSjPrgBegV
Angel smirked and Leo 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUqLFAZZf4
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVXxrnAdLr
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbfKEOLdXK
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfAgfGctDs
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkMUepUqzo
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6Jrh4DgE
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJYRBCDcN
"You're right, Leo. It's798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCFr4TKzQa
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDozgCVYz49
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ95Tlgfio5
have any control over."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BS7yrNlL
Leo was a little shocked798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjuYsKSUX
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxNfc1ZaIX
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YCziaivEn
game?798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHSnc5V0WL
She slowly made her way 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JqSVsGGHU
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ236w3kazF8
look at her and something came up in his mind.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs17fZifjg
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlnnwsxWNT
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHWZ0Tk2jL
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiebh4UIGiG
"The time you came into 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGxJ6aQcox
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAw92rEVRv
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrjuj88M3J
Angel smiled at Leo. 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4WeMK09P1
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECXp6Dz4z4
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3XZVQi3wF
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8BQv346Ix
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i7U2dLiif
"I don't believe you."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWygH2nOPa
"You don't have to, Mr 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53jcdRWXdY
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTuWkrIjs
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4diM52VFBF
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehsQu7SKbm
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YJTqBkxnl
"I'll be heading out for798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8rqR1sWXf
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZV9DDgAy0
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsiMsVms6U
Leo didn't have to 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHox5tBCy
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD7bbSSHVS
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusMuEQIfTg
her.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKJNPbxr1O
Leo stared at the closed798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Grggx9Hg
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDSuhdtwOe
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKrbHoYVtP
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0NCsoBd3Q
utterly disturbed.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6sfEbX1ZC
***798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxSbNl9ZnT
In798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSlXq39JWW
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSdQYvBeMK
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FI9xiVv03
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbQgRxb4Hy
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8p8P4GVdw
"Morning," said Amanda.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqKTTOnFZw
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYQGaPQqPW
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AEABPykG1
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZkUOVCUhg
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWU8TdUYQK
"And798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwxonw2NFL
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXIJe9zmSk
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFaw2hA6ub
"Do I?" Leo asked.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRFiAEvjJ
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62snHQpwBI
Leo798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2D6zR2FWA
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNlJfCsY9x
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPgLSssxdx
knew the reason too.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhsl0NRhvT
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRljiGlFH0
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqYZH70jwg
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32x2IBWRbB
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV77u6wY2V
"Lovely."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlQAI0cu9O
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mXFT7tKW1
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPVv4LWRvR
Upon798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyjYvDBHMz
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3r6sSs27
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ggg511jTu
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A28qzfS85
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9zPXhIV3l
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLSii4IL8L
Eric798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vAmJukMJm
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfhrUGhMVE
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLerDsKwP2h
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdXw0gsWfn
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6JO3CQ3W6
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqm2AnPOev
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAytj01TJw
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFptCRE2nd
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8MpWdJONV
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMdtgDlxMR
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItFLu134Zw
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09emsEmVXz
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUGnWQY5pN
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxhkRsKlpi
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FHKBjwlTN
Leo798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20VQJkokov
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad5pGNHHYE
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qm7MrJNEY
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1tN8rpqM
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CNbb38kwq
Angel798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMWCkjxAlh
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9y2SmXnFB
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbD9V5M9j5
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo3T9UJ23m
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb0978wlRi
"I'll798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjy1kpoFmo
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Hr3knbzn
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVBL8eb5HL
"Yes, I would," said Angel.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3aNHNw8M
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4SYs1RQQL
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KI722Jda3
"Yes, I'm not."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6ubP5bBf
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz5tAUvmJU
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgERV3QEDB0
"Yes, I would."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipRAKY1Hzo
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlNrktHPV
"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."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGvrPKP7u2
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57YaSlWzFv
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw9jl089wZ
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEMVdhDSFw
"Yes."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LbMf3pBXu
Leo798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd61jfwDka
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmWgz2hDP4
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkTZtA8fUJ
talking about Angel.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwo5cyIsmi
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.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdk6rLBT84
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQTnJash6S
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtctfAJlPiS
Before Angel could find 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ026JeJU6zU
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjX3maSTRU
seeing her sister, standing on her own.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa59fDN8J7
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRz2dJtxB0
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJHr0ID89S
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yxgdgym2B
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."798Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aZBHMocO
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
