"What's wrong with you now, you psychopath!" Amanda asked as she rolled her way to the foyer.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQgKS8tC8D
"Don't you start with me, Amanda!" Mrs McDonell snapped at her mother-in-law. "You just stay out of this."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl2Pfomlc8
Mr McDonell suddenly appeared from the open front door as he looked surprisingly shocked at his wife.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotS7ATFqY6
"What's up with you, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP41CqWXQah
huh?" Mr McDonell asked. "Do you want the whole neighbourhood to know 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNskiGZZKDv
that this house is a mental asylum or what?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn157SyqhTg
"Come on, Fred," said Mrs McDonell, lowering her voice a little. "This isn't an asylum."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xDNwoPdXy
"Well, you're making it look like one. What's the matter with you, Bertha?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Lz5RbvPw
"I just wanted to know whose this luggage belongs to."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQl5kGrbm2
"And you have to make a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Xlm68zYq
scene out of it?" Amanda asked. "You're crazy and you know it. We have 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTSiDvxG4
guests in the house so mind your manners."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7tYscwKli
"Guests? What guests?" Mrs McDonell had a look of surprise on her face. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf88tdHbKZ
"Don't act dumb, Bertha. Lisa's daughters are here."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvEVDGEBDi
Mrs McDonell's face turned pale. She looked at the suitcases in front of her and said nothing at that moment.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtky3Cief3
"What? Those girls are here?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtowW4Q7A8g
"Yes, Bertha," said Mr McDonell. "I brought them here. All I'm asking is that you behave yourself in front of them, alright?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXz1e8XbFD
Mrs McDonell nodded her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH29l6Kguq3
head a little but didn't look up at her husband nor Amanda. She turned 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PAjYLbBy1
to look elsewhere and was lost in her own thoughts. The expression on 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TieB57Rdv
her face was totally hard to read.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy031i7V4Ex
"Bertha, are you alright?" Mr McDonell, looking a bit concerned.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLq3jnPB5u
"Let's hope so," said Amanda, almost jeering. "We don't want her running around as wild as she already is."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQkNMtqGo
"Are you calling me a lunatic?" Mrs McDonell snapped at Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6H47967A
"Ah, looks like she is still the same old after all," said Amanda with a smirk on her face.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCE0ehTkn0
"May you two please have771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVZHA6jm1W
your brawl some place else that isn't here," said Mr McDonell, standing771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNZo02c2j1
in between his mother and wife. "We have guests in the house."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVJIjSTal
"Couldn't you have given them another place to stay apart from here?" Mrs McDonell asked. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeESis1EXC
"Look, Bertha, I made a promise to Lisa to take care of her daughters. And that's what I am doing."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OnlgUpfoo
"For once could you at least have broken that promise? Have you ever considered that we are too many in this house?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvuCQrcM8
"You really know how to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia3edEyiaj
make lousy excuses," said Amanda. "Those girls have no where to go and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdPKkNJ5P
you just want to leave them out on the street?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtpIpTbFOP
"We could provide them somewhere else to stay."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMrkI89m7v
"What's wrong with them 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4wmF9Xbgb
staying here?" Mr McDonell asked. "I already made a decision and you 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnSDQupKs2
have to respect it. Besides, Angel needs us more than ever after the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wR2U8tU6P
accident."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLHK9Q7UP
Before Mrs McDonell could say anything else, Carly, Eric and Angel appeared, with Eric pushing Angel on the wheelchair. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJB4Fygbk
"Hey, is everything okay, aunt?" Eric asked. "I thought I heard you screaming."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtTmsKsJy3
"It's nothing, Eric," Mrs McDonell replied, trying to look composed.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95iWnEvlC6
Mrs McDonell soon turned771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQdT4O1xw8
to Carly and Angel. For a moment, she thought she was going to lose 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KqvrbJMjt
control and say something offensive. But instead, she put up a wide 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzlSXrkctN
smile, trying to hide how she truly felt.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyjayN4yzx
"Oh, you must be Lisa's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6DPrJr2N6
daughters," Mrs McDonell brought herself a little closer towards them. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupOeCVLft
"It's so good to finally meet you."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk3u2eTIGV
"The pleasure is ours, Mrs McDonell," said Angel. "I'm Angel, by the way."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU2Tyn2xKo
Angel held up her hand 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZpWZpTnor
to Mrs McDonell for a hand shake. Mrs McDonell stared at Angel's hand 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5XUMRfZyf
for a moment and slowly took it. The two locked their eyes on each other771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2vL9JE1JQ
until they finally let go of each other's hands. Mrs McDonell's smile 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEKNjOtL6b
almost dropped, but she tried to keep it steady and cool especially in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhna3z9kDkx
front of Angel, who seemed to feel that something was a bit off with Mrs771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaItMgkPkJ
McDonell. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoChLxKARz
"And you must be Carly," said Mrs McDonell turning to Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjjDlO3jjp
"That's right," said Carly with a smile wider than Mrs McDonell's.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIahRCjOyd
"Looks like you already 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7EbTUEFmh
like this place," said Mrs McDonell, there was a hint of venom in her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3LKogw8c
voice and Carly didn't seem to catch it, but Angel did.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11a7XWabTj
"It's beautiful, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied, cheerfully. "This place is like a palace." 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs4gTy50I8
"Thank you, dear," Mrs McDonell replied, trying hard not to roll her eyes. "Feel free to do whatever you like."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSjfAIkQ3H
"Now that the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2DfHIs2jM
introduction is done," said Mr McDonell, "Eric, would you please tell 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCxaFhPcua
the helpers to come and take the lady's bags to the guest rooms. It's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMglDXGXXpO
time they settle down and get comfortable. Angel should take one of the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJpD9rx9w
guest rooms downstairs."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl437y3y7A
"Of course, uncle," replied Eric, leaving Angel's side and running off to fetch the helpers.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2mp0EGXZ
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OySlUOvs1
Angel just smiled at 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTgWh249U6
Amanda. For a moment, Angel thought she had seen Mrs McDonell frown 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVI2rtpclZ
through the corner of her eye. But she pretended to be oblivious about 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW9aq1wu6X
it.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlMtbz6MpQ
A few seconds later, 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPapGcpJsBy
Eric came by with two male helpers. One took Angel's luggage to the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw93VuALq6
rooms along the hall. The other took Carly's things upstairs and Carly 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1LYGR43A
followed suite. Eric dragged Angel along to her room, leaving Mr and Mrs771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV6oZXVkmp
McDonell with Amanda by the foyer.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePH5Z50kH
"Well that went well," said Bertha sarcastically rolling her eyes and rubbing her forehead in frustration.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n5eREWWjf
"Humph......" muttered Amanda. "Some people will just never change."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz38x7uWT6d
Amanda rolled herself away following Eric and Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42uZVDGoJx
Mrs McDonell turned to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsf5iKtz8Q
her husband and before she could say anything to him, Mr McDonell just 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxkyNh37tG
shook his head, clearly warning her that he had heard enough from her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqSxT5HH2T
for one day. He quickly went upstairs leaving Mrs McDonell alone.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ao8vuEi3R
***771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGddZZdbjB
It771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvKaB9Ky3z
was getting dark outside as the sun started to set. Angel was staring 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlp5eWzlRu
outside the window of her beautiful room which out looked the whole 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCQ22K8700
garden outside. She took a look around her room at the magnificent white771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnmjQ92CoM
coloured walls and the double bed with white sheets and fluffy pillows.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQMXTxN4Sy
771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMa2x7haRh
She771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUJ43AJhM7
rolled around on her wheelchair, in the room. I was such a spacious 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dAdjAbCVg
room and Angel liked it a lot. The house was nice, the McDonell family 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDOkvv1dgm
were quite nice and even the house help were kind to her as well and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4ViUQm9B
they would even check up on her to see if she was comfortable.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWEFc7cPNy
No771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9kZqgwZy8
doubt she was going to like this place, the only problem, it wasn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKzjEpKRvj
going to be that pleasant. Not with Leo and his mother around.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSPerVfhY
Leo.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAJYdDH98q
She hadn't thought of him for a while and she was so not prepared to 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSeSpMjfb1
meet him face to face. He wasn't around for lunch earlier, so he was 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgArhiic9g
probably on his way home at this very moment. Angel clenched and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ScRTJsOS
unclenched her fists time and time again.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TPOurDewO
While771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPNjCqrG7
Angel was lost in her own thoughts, there was a knock on the door and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZXsG2WfEU
Angel called out for the person to come in. Eric came in and a young boy771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t3Z5GzuDe
followed suite. The little boy looked like Eric with the same green 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW8scUaU8S
eyes.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XhcooQ71P
"Angel, I want you to meet Oliver, my little brother," said Eric, "Oliver, this Angel."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc23gEpP49
"Nice to meet you, Oliver," greeted Angel with a smile.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXHZSGBSmu
"With pleasure," said Oliver, bowing a little.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxabFiGjTPV
"Wow, you're quite the gentleman, aren't you?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceIHi3KOJV
"Well, not really. You're very pretty, that's why."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNieq5LGgC8
Angel771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOqIqFatmQ
laughed out loud so as to hide the blush on her face. "Awww, that's so 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3LoiAKhli
sweet of you. You, my friend, are handsome, much more than your older 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVGChNLcLm
brother."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWjoYn36sH
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7lGwwGFQd
"Mambo-jumbo?771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037Xh4L46r
Just so you know Eric, every girl at school is dying to be with me 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ktp3Etj3d
right now," said Oliver. "I just brush them because none of them are as 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKGMI2dd5e
pretty as Angel here."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSjOcmHM68
"May you please zip it?" Eric scolded playfully as Angel laughed out loud, this time with tears in her eyes. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP576pfNsNq
Oliver771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd7eNjVkTz
just winked at Angel as he quickly ran out of the room. Angel couldn't 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8XFGphkuV
stop laughing and Eric just shook his head as he stared at the door.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70lnR6VaP
"Oh my, your brother is really something," said Angel, as she tried to control her laughter. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYCnrKBM0O
"Ya, he has always been like that," said Eric. "Wait until he starts pulling off pranks."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry9AqtY4fk
"His young. Let him do whatever he wants."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hr2M3JeL
"Well, I'm glad he made you laugh. I thought you were going to stay gloomy like that forever."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTJZv9yx22
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.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBnCPdnPsY
"I heard you laughing from my room," said Amanda. "Did I miss out something funny?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiVoJVBsFm
"Just Oliver and his silliness," replied Eric.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJwu0zsIjk
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQs8HBjdFC
"And why is that, grandma? It's not close to supper yet." 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO8mL9cc5l
"Leo is back. I just heard his car pull up on the driveway."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV7EU5kt14
Angel's face suddenly turned pale. She turned to look the other way to avoid Amanda's gaze.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWl5gygZ1x
"Oh, Leo is already here?" Eric turned to look at Angel. He could only imagine what she was feeling right now.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MfhVXU6Ss
"Well,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MdsNqJanW
yes. I want Angel to come to the living room so that they could meet. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL9XnkOWpT
Come on, you drag her along. You two will meet me there."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pgNaIYW1a
Amanda771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC91N7t3Rlq
rolled herself out of the room leaving Eric and Angel alone. Eric 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Um5No7Dn
continued to stare at Angel who had her eyes somewhere else.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTos51sTnDn
"Are you ready for this?" Eric asked softly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjvYVEgyMo
"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."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Lg9bkbom
Eric could feel the anger behind her voice. He placed his hand on her shoulder. Angel looked up at him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbSYNwqg45
"You771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgmmJPBygp
two won't be able to avoid each other, now that you're both living 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzh8KUS4T1
under the same roof," said Eric. "Don't forget, we have to make sure 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjNHF94iF4
that no one knows what really happened that day."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAmKAhYrTT
Angel breathed out deeply. "You're right." She closed her eyes and then opened them. "Let's go."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaED89mgJjO
Eric771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2GY6icDz
gave Angel an encouraging nod as he took the handles of Angel's 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaneZ5ocsn
wheelchair and took her out of the room. Angel's heart beat faster than 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnbaHXyH2W
it ever had before. She knew meeting Leo was going to be hard, but she 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvBRaQ2Yuf
was tired of being scared. If anything, Leo was supposed to be scared of771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjyQwUJDqK
her and not the other way around.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE46o9CgsK
***771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasFL9Oy2Ex
Carly771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJe6xXFj8H
and Diana were comfortably seated on the posh sofas of the living room 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gkJ2d3cG
with fashion magazines in their hands looking at the latest fashion from771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7xQQR8FlW
around the world. They seemed to be getting along well as they talked 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sOeHtXKYc
about fashion with so much glee. There talk was soon interrupted when 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7y1YnnS7d
they heard a car pull up right in front of the house.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxIfVwIyf6
"Now who could that be?" Carly asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQqOjSPh36
"Looks like Leo is here," said Diana she stood up and walked towards the window. "Yes, it's him."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajvsy6hkmX
Carly's771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGPWtg1J7u
heart soon started to beat faster. She couldn't tell whether she was 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LFG8cxspL
excited that Leo was going to be closer to her than ever or scared 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy7fALTKSL
because of how her sister would react.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenBq57jEiB
Diana771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBvjEkO3jt
went to the front door so as to let Leo in. Carly stood up and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOKV7JFN1c
straightened her clothes. She still wore the black clothes from the 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0IOTMnMm9
funeral and she scowled as she wished that she could have changed 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcHz31EgLl
earlier. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzATp6V4gt
Diana771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xp5NT7DHS
opened the door and a moment later, Leo walked in. Carly held her 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S10ktz8PK
breath for a moment as she saw Leo. He looked so handsome and smart that771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYN5IKXg5
she felt she could run up to him and kiss him. She swallowed hard as 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgDlxE6gf1
she tried to hide her urge.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BN0b5SHfZ
"Hey, aunt Diana," said Leo. "How has been your day?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzvIwPVlB3
"It's been okay, except for your angry mother," replied Diana. "You know how she is."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPQfseRpe
"Is she still mad at me? Because if she is, I don't know what I'll do."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1kao3u146
"Oh, I forgot to remind you, our guests are here."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1q5xoOygS
"Guests?"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ549wL3LNOy
"Hey, Leo," said Carly.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiXYjQmurd
Leo turned to look behind him and his jaw dropped when he saw Carly. He was left with no words.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPyyZqHmu
"Umm....hey, Carly," said Leo with hesitation.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGA9TUtevF
Carly771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySq5FOTanB
blushed a little as Leo greeted her. She could tell that Leo was a bit 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf5rTrSYQ5
surprised to see her. She could only imagine what would happen if he saw771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDAQTHEMrJ
Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSDjeq9254
"Leo,771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ygLIjruH
I'm glad you're here," said Amanda as she came from the other side. Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVq0iBkV1K
tried to put up a smile as he went to hug his grandmother.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHB89svV8H
"How are you?" Leo asked, trying to be casual, yet feeling uneasy.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeFS7BPGhj
"I have never felt better," replied Amanda, with a smile. "First, I received news that you and Kim broke off your engagement."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAsCkrr3p3
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG48o1fhfTS
swallowed hard and he could feel Carly behind him shift uneasily. He 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBbGzmtO3W
continued to look down at his grandmother thinking of what to say.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZhXs3kA1
"I'm771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6a88XAsuD
so proud of you, Leo," Amanda continued. "You made the right decision. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVifBuvxk2T
I'm also happy that Carly and Angel have come to leave with us."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok1MWcxRNT
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnotXkuDRXf
felt like the world beneath him was spinning out of control. His worst 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNNbDMX4Ck
fears had come true. Angel was here. That was a problem for him all on 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6vleyaZCq
it's own.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rDkvZInHa
"Ah, look, here she comes now," said Amanda.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiYdR99BkR
Leo771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8INjwOmAYu
looked behind his grandmother and Angel appeared on a wheelchair and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNuRRVGLxQ
Eric was helping with dragging it. Leo couldn't help but stare at Angel.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKMUjNoY8l
When Angel's eyes met his, Leo could see and feel the tension behind 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8UUzxie40
them. Just like him, he could tell that Angel never liked the idea of 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyodQhJ1Axk
being here in the McDonell household.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB660CupeQu
When771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVjxWdlGTw
Angel's wheelchair pulled up right next to Amanda's, Leo felt the air 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvheCjd3tt
in the house grow stale. Leo continued to stare at Angel and Angel did 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwB7A5oq7H
exactly the same. There was silence between the two and it was starting 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAEARY6eQ3
to feel awkward. For a moment, both of them didn't know whether to be 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ciCY9ca9T
angry at each other, because playing along seemed a whole lot harder 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY4qZJ3h3q
than they thought.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBD32ioXIx
"Aren't you going to say something or are you just going to stand there, Leo?" Diana asked, as she spoke first.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6IiKshch
"I....eh...,"771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPlpUUZoiz
Leo hesistated. He never thought he would be this agitated, not in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Us8guGcT
front of Angel for that matter. Carly just scratched her head in 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHavvx285
embarrassment. Angel continued to stare at him and that made Leo feel 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHjSEtl3X9
more unease. Whatever she was doing to him, just made him more uneasy by771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q8BdAUjl9
the minute.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJVGmm6Xe
"How are you, Leo?" Angel asked.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAw4JVMHSV
"I'm okay and you?" Leo replied.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0CsKW2qO1
"Never better."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjfhRGpLQx
"Well, now that everyone is here, let's go in the living room while we wait for supper," said Diana.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzWRj2Wp4f
"That's a good idea," said Amanda. "Come on, lets go."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbSFl1iox
"Sure771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdj8d7ZWkN
thing," said Eric as he dragged Angel towards the living room and Diana771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSOis3nEhM
took Amanda. Carly and Leo just stood there in the foyer. Leo looked up771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8lOTjcB2
at Carly who had been looking at him the whole time and there was 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAvUWUr8d9
nothing but silence between them.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSznsK1Bly
"Aren't you coming with us?" Carly asked, trying to be a little sympathetic with him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtenAmVh8h
"You go ahead," said Leo. "I'll join you. I just need to freshen up a bit."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcaw6ggHDO
"Okay."771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOSH5swZG0
Carly771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68wzTJbJX
gave Leo a little smile, reassuring him that everything was going go be771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96C9rT7ggN
alright. She turned around and joined the others in the living room. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhpByHh6dl
Leo just looked on as a conversation had quickly sprang up amongst his 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHumpGBIG
family members with Angel and Carly. They all seemed to be enjoying 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcuTbXQUB6
themselves especially his grandmother who was right beside Angel and 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOfbodWZA
holding her hand.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMoCIAbc7
While771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtpUkTaJTX
the conversation was going on, Angel looked up and noticed that Leo was771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKP2Wi4Tn9
still standing in the foyer staring at them. When Leo caught Angel 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq9TWHlQUq
staring at him, he quickly turned away. Her eyes were already blazing 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJEFFOhPln
enough to set him on fire just like it had happened earlier. With a 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWsz9liZX
sigh, he went up the stairs to his room.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu93Hq8AQD
When771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKaEeAkFG8
Leo reached his room, he quickly closed the door behind him and leaned 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeleV7nNHR
on the door. He was so frustrated. First, breaking up with Kim was one 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ804VN4qg4B
heck of a disaster and secondly, Angel was now staying here and that was771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMunvu2sH1v
a living nightmare.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucXPhKraUB
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu75pHXHCWl
passed his hand through his hair wondering what to do. Trying to act 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQRtwsPsOY
like there was nothing unusual with Angel staying here was going to be 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhkfvyRgu
difficult. Besides, he was the one responsible for getting Angel into an771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlROq7wDgq
accident and he had never apologised for it.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylNzN0eObA
He771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNtkcaCZZI
was in for a wild ride now that she was closer to him than ever. And he771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwiouFBzs8
knew that if she ever got the chance to be alone with him, she would 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMiXbau0pS
definitely kill him.771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg4sJuPHXr
