The phone alarm woke Leo757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwzsNkwUXt
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnYxd28yLg
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaw8x2TX8Y
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLCDiH3PeY
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfu60wt9Vj
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yn24pfkaQ
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGe2WxPxx
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50AderjuI
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmaS3bLCxW
After taking a shower, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLVAYy6Bdf
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KXywZd3JS
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L8iu8Jyyj
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWt6kkBXhU
ever. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeACc5e8Hs
He soon went out of his 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdsLIrfCN0
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIlubSzT3Z
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg3M6EUvbI
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHzqBjmmx8
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDR04UANff
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjjosXLJqv
him.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblm6Z44Ewh
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqobEagNyGv
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ALuLjiL5H
"Don't ruin the mood by 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e2fV8ThVZ
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEBEu8YBzW
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4PVUp0sW7
Leo smiled as he 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6VZB0gIc
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfggoe2BSGg
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz403xdW2Cc
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyEBDmMTvL
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAIkr8mvlP
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF0H01wuBr
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zJEPnZosh
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VffT4Nut7
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJXHLZbOYF
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaVjv04Ym
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M4eHL0i0F
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjKljI6RbT
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QhlQYO9bh
"She is, actually," said757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2gt6HByGK
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkQmjCjCHe
anything to you. You have me around."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgKxHxIpYn
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsdhUh46Bi
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoOxLth0Ge
Before Carly could say 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwj4avnnDK
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvhGhKrnMk
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Z5FdQHcI
"What was that?" Leo asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVE5CumhkU
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg5U6PUhYe
Carly got to Angel's 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI83gfzH10
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUgLwjczlZ
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQw49zzsc
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrShm8ZT0rI
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQLaBjcTZi
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl9licK42v
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dJLHOokL2
"You know you're not 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVovHuq4VC
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44crGdHQJ2
for help. You never change, Angel."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2zwQ4zUaG
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19zLU0R3Qz
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g65m62wfb
"No thanks, I'm fine."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsKbWjK7tK
Angel went on to look at757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA03YbnhYV5
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2tSo2gDQe
then she went on to stare at Carly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46KdsiBvbE
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gNojIDpnq
Carly paused as she 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCSLqCveh
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwY7sqLGD
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavOIslosvo
Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjDxKer3yJ
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYStkYtaNt
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf0lgKaL6e
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VYZx0Rd5Z
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euGCXKaBb
hurt or anything."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkQYFlC2AH
"May you please drag me 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3U2c7X8aZ
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRblv1fxwB
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMPW9TLuiw
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZDLyuG5F
"Just like Carly said, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQCFLF69o
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEHBQrbzOn
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4kdX0gZTw
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FpGHSVU3p
The room soon had an 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrjjrgZnEx
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj8euteXoY
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1zvvRKZFw
awkwardness.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrh76fBSIa
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjOrlikEeX
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BAyPlp2rC
"Sure."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo203sOIftR
Leo stared at Carly 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhWekZ7ARV
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6qIa0OzC
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5m0RMx5Fc
avoid any more problems.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN3FepY8wd
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Jdu2u3A2
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQygcu6VC
"Tea would be lovely, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoMCZlNkPQ
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz1YbNrWZi
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzELFMekcjk
could have helped you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsm1FqDRm9
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7dhCtbJLk
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTY17uAV4f
Carly gladly smiled at 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZqvX0b90g
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzIJZqaCTW
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN39F6fZ5K7
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwhN3lk34y
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3RTFkrht7
And Leo? It was strange 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiLlAOe2ox
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVl4W0j84
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs0xXgFF9c
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVovdxuwRbf
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoVUrLWNE6
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WedxHI1G
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunj7RE8icZ
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGTRSB7Oz4
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1fBUzjzRF
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4rvlo9PH
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiZWCKM0PB
While Amanda and Angel 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgE16WjUdS
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9JbWtNYKZ
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkKM01Gdui
at the door.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTDaFGKuxQ
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3A9QwAKSS
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidh4kgafZ7
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm0Gtrjw36
"No, she didn't." Carly 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TPlgAba7V
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR2f7aHrFH
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQ2kvht9a
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMpEBpIEP8
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0ShLMjDg
"I don't care about 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhdEbIwFlL
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtvZDRk0ZK
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30xwCdLPrX
are real."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSENhNy17b
Carly smiled and she 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ilvqE8aH
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMf9ytcg80
that she didn't want him to let her go.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemIALiZIUa
She quickly turned 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0I9upBVUE
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6d2XgCZ6L
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzBJOXSM6V
They would freak out."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESHj6Ojafh
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQfFX9YdE9
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9E9UQKuv
Leo continued to look 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsaFoFFS0p
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUY7IVXs7
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECcgrRpwKC
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2nfeOqfN
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKe1TJ1wto
"What's going on here?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8oceWapR
Leo and Carly almost 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzTNFhDdS
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5TCwnXEW6
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5eQSu156q
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEECU5pth
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0bKmqsO8
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBERsUgym8K
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsWt1nvB6J
"For Amanda and Angel."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIunU1tJor
"They are both awake?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6VPD3KhDN
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiswKvANT86
Mrs McDonell looked at 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWyfaHbiAw
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rvbjQUJ69
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXfvaWsuI8
off.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ8jbt2iCa
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36YITOyCeT
Carly took the tray 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfQ5UBLkB
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2zwIY3BkL
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47SxbvZQb
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNuybxa8Br
corner.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalpaLDVes
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkXznfGUR6
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbD2ZTPGJ0
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp2phA4tX8
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj4YAsy6hh
Leo made his way to the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1slhVA40OX
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ6hDP7tsV
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrz52sZYEY
By seven, almost 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGSvBQfrTH
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnLSQMv6ZR
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gpFeJsOiM
the lovely smell was intoxicating.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAMwvSrS7M
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gc0Yl0eML
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3oR9Vy2oY
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMKFsrRnI
time to go to school.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI5JAe9onf
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V5v8MB7WH
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHbaG8WozK
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieaeka3YXb
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQ2coAr8M
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMGMNpwZKm
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y4LOublHJ
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHVJ6nFOAv
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKi2chjr9V
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO5wUtZ4Tq
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rryWBVOR3
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpD7hg3fnc
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixJg8kLzUZ
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwuJc2pOS0
them.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgBsRACl5E
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnVmZIobL
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKt5YZY6Ow
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7P0DBwWP
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T6eufFDfW
"Right," Leo replied.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7qdnn6ORx
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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oUeRFwMnT
Just as they were about 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pfQgQTy61
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDCLiR7IuT
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRImb30ZF
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViAaecU1Ji
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXfMeDUAmy
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtzoh31G5L
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz88gFEpRGP
Before Leo could reply 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltCiC2JCaz
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOC0BwUOB
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtGVsgG0d6
looked away feeling irritated.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q4zdmCo4D
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSSF6ZJxB
Everyone else on the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuS3SveVTS
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSRhCOHWhi
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnSbjenkn6
except Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rQPrdt1b
"This is just lovely," 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa0d7H6kVp
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH6gWPYPsj
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvHMkiufpB
really early."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw5oFHq9El
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo4x5ms8IT
"Your wife isn't here, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehcLHHeUZB
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYQUFqeB9G
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThwlPDoGLn
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0B8IDxH6d
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL3Zeuuvz0
Angel almost spelt the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXitS21PgB
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdKHXyFoGz
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtig18tlcMb
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr00pQ3sofP
just ran a hand through his hair.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QF4sNyoET
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJ8Fe0r3B
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2IXTM3lWo
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm2bPaOmvs
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUB9Tu5hrw
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE8DErZbgc
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinR0PlkXS4
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSWzMyxSTS
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTPpIf294l
"Have to go to school," he said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhP1mVLMyI
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZtpxRv13d
Oliver came round the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpplAnH2OVk
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtaOAjOm8k
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipgqywJstQ
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLWOgUdVJ5
ears.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgGgfdrrrL
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMqJLKL6va
"So adorable," said Carly.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJUu4Yit6U
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi9lJ8DSaJ
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBctqRlLTQa
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdgUXB3Ay
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjIyurLlC
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7b6ozNdEq
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpVUR4CD3
"Well, I do."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPsuF14TdT
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXnokQBKdt
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0JwIOO4fY
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iI0M6wcUd
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZufJDKCbj
"I'll find you in the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdUVJLasBH
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwLZXBkGpK
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSHbULdvxk
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgRphXOvUB
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrbYFkbJsD
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaMjiBBu5n
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVyDxXwCJH
"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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TotbLzi4Y
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVOesiFeJj
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQChAyBJM
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIwsHsFZAB
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcEQ35rOIP
Before Carly could 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH10gRPcaIH
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWeo68rLC
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsho1BRBrt
interested about what her sister was up to.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9zcjnxowi
"I'll join you," said 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vONlcaKzL
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiaVviH5qD
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89fuL3kIzw
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtsUxFkh6a
"I'll go get ready," 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2h2Ci8mZ8
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAonw9E9Sd
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyA6ilWgL3
times.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsToGGnzUi
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BYt3sLnA
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfTJS3RM4U
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwZ9Fbyh6R
The last thing Leo 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IHrhl0Dir
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9atdOMngp
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUEZUHQnHq
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZdVncke6p
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVZjZ0SRVe
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvBLqiIx2n
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbd06EXEHZ
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6y9F1qytF
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYj8MYVLr3
"Yes. It's really 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhVexzeqk
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP9Cqw8Pt5
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJibeKykeu
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ykdUzOaH
since I'm so old."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTXklUXRB
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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3nTRu4nen
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARKb34JpKZ
"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?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMzHulysbr
Leo sighed. He looked 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvK0eMPEsL
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfq3ljgp5Y
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElvnTsw5qy
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5LwvgcGm8
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiBzMyaEOI
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
