The phone alarm woke Leo868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOHyC0kSvE
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn3kPVRh2H
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmyAxPtaMX
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtPVegZaIY
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMDUQnxFOD
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eMCfE3of0
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp2HocuMlb
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJzQP5WWb
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl3rTav9cG
After taking a shower, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAQZchqNuk
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dt5wdUdkk
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oDSZJDNuZ
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70icVyAGM
ever. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr51nerazr
He soon went out of his 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSvxh1oXzd
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAU2nQYLwI
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr3oaiSyes
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Ke46NBYS
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUqQxPLgvA
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLpNfIg4pV
him.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaGPETBjcO
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37MdabRebP
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngqoExnb3Y
"Don't ruin the mood by 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdVudXWLoV
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0MDDKGGUP
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEi6EP7UtU
Leo smiled as he 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhzh3fqQ7J
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjWRe1tpZX
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GPWNgI9QB
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIyGyQZXZX
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40bwA5Zmx
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGsKWRLuYv
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Fk40keO2
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi5UKvlJho
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvjvDnk3XI
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lkiwQcP8d
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cPdqxZRo5
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGjlQ3nK9u
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu4U8A9dtD
"She is, actually," said868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLE7WHuH5V
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKgudF4b9E
anything to you. You have me around."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOwA3Q4PV
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHVU2nEMM
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJromTBjsRR
Before Carly could say 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4ckiXtxM
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DBlqZWAwx
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbesSOT9XE
"What was that?" Leo asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkpMxbpUyf
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3fBsgC87d
Carly got to Angel's 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDnbuw3uN
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MWCNuPn6y
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAvTS85AKX
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXGGwhgI9o
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOjpVGqRDD
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5foz7mUu9
"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."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxqStHDNZ3
"You know you're not 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D5lo2d6ac
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViZPKBS9Ey
for help. You never change, Angel."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNRkMPURI
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeQNtdLfWC
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmReSso0rT
"No thanks, I'm fine."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9kr7wRTTh
Angel went on to look at868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6au9a6J4y
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j5mbEUk8D
then she went on to stare at Carly.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqNrul4m6A
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFjkDtthK
Carly paused as she 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUhkZXjWxj
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dy6B7WuIw
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EiRfpnyK
Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTeIoeXIn2
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kg5MIav9d
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAiPI9eHWH
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEGI7tvldY
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3BMa8jElc
hurt or anything."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6aipYlVeg
"May you please drag me 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmIa6wdh7t
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4YxMG5kd0
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxnDlJqMnu
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYMZeLSWyG
"Just like Carly said, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2JyTjfgYe
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRlyp5YGuw
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97uzeq2MBg
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jcHoM9bGm
The room soon had an 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvtTnmzL4o
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxcQNZnCwB
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0iOrYDFpS
awkwardness.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BT9ZTgzBU
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7PQgDiN2
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3IWtANVGl
"Sure."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvULHMReXeH
Leo stared at Carly 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9p4FpWihe
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3oF8lyABw
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2T5NdfDP6
avoid any more problems.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW2wSZKk1Y
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFTzEYy3PO
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJOcbTeVAM
"Tea would be lovely, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyrJCSj74G
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXuao87s7X
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpbpoDL26H
could have helped you."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQWrhn5PpQ
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQDWXtJic
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNuxgHDwvy
Carly gladly smiled at 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4iHMiEZ0T
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZS9rXfNZh
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekfVLo2yX
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyonRsrmf
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSEaUwESmY
And Leo? It was strange 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjb56XqcXU
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD6aT7xRiG
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0ry8hTp09
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWffoU7kRM8
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckS5q7sQVo
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5veNnCajt
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTVI9wYIR6
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuKFmG6ZZJ
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMBNu6B8um
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wPpEr72BT
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkatRLH6fe1
While Amanda and Angel 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzz8ZPnI6y
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgzO2qBVUO
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZdNuyvaiQ
at the door.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG0aQlXJhn
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni19xb7z2l
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9YOBVQS4u
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPm2sKK8uT
"No, she didn't." Carly 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXo4EX4Ws4
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzAjfUTBGD
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHmaFVtyeV
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqoDouV4qR
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0vRvi86a
"I don't care about 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjRnLWOOA
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9SUtaqR20
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZXL6lkI0d
are real."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgE8KsIfg4
Carly smiled and she 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LOEgf0xlT
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWASPGdbDO
that she didn't want him to let her go.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUaGwCD5Ys
She quickly turned 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsljGDXKLEY
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCuZCVx5p7
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdtTFppIy5
They would freak out."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2c7XyiT7V
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlzk4O6BHv
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnm9jCUQbL
Leo continued to look 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1H3ySUYSs
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ToGRU2bg4
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eiHzHbnCN
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7VSmj4mAz
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcYpEFPs9N
"What's going on here?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZijy8uf8e
Leo and Carly almost 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxd9GqQZmC
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnffZXkyqe
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqf0xX5aa
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJODLs1mcYQ
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn59hyiVKx
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUW3qDMC3R
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46n6RZDQgE
"For Amanda and Angel."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzrGuzPm2r
"They are both awake?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk3cfRj3dD
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCWpDa6nJb
Mrs McDonell looked at 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qROwpejxn
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiPN64Kx2N
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC67nmiasxM
off.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fWm4tvHqP
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhut8uqcOxS
Carly took the tray 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0KgyxncCu
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImkgE01Gyw
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcpMguqB5Y
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPyu4Bnvzv
corner.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbuIr8O75u
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apSCmdstw
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ahL5JEBEO
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK56ufhK5Wp
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcINDB8gp5z
Leo made his way to the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltE41nxfwh
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCMRafx04b
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKsR1QASX1
By seven, almost 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFsO2vP9At
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuSxAYutao
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq1HRA0DND
the lovely smell was intoxicating.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRd97VuziY
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkDqkBnpCd
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBQqE5qtt
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNJlTc8mnC
time to go to school.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQhcA55gK
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSKxGnQMY
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W3j7wvlaK
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwBSoVpHIQ
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9B2VQJ5Cg
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0faN1XFm67
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U8BbH9wSk
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSODr8Sbdkk
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbZTfvLb5
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzVJOnkkad
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrUY0CdYE8
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn51sNh9b3w
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRr5aueRzS
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbia4e9lKPU
them.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOzaZuA2eq
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j8Ni6bOaZ
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNZMW0WgHf
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyOaiyvMjg
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA18ARdNgm
"Right," Leo replied.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYySJRqI1jd
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.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoBYSHp4Yf
Just as they were about 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hKiBbdUDo
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MIvtThG2M
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dBKcWINBR
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr3vhKkmZq
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Zngo9e7r
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRtChtTfs
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3CYnY4IQ8
Before Leo could reply 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy5b42ETpo
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIK4e9xVgL
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etjDWoJi6
looked away feeling irritated.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qLH77jVZd
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9nIQvqvHD
Everyone else on the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf0gFKBZWX
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c4QCHpLhf
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofGFSdGJ8R
except Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ogkM1vvVg
"This is just lovely," 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKGjdCeo6l
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlndHHEoSIO
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZgkhaWlM
really early."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlfhwp7jGz
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJpIFq4usQ
"Your wife isn't here, 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhhab8QCEF
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrpWSFfzft
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DiYvqU1db
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdpxQYIrh
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIesmh90EOj
Angel almost spelt the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMpAO6CKS
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h9eNssh8c
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAmM416Xbl
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8ti3hfL2
just ran a hand through his hair.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNxyDTY0ie
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQkXt5WJtx
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMI7ih9YeT
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkJG8mI9Zl
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9wRezITX
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF4W4ulJHJ
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI0s4u5idH
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE6ayXKnkY
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZWbrQPToY
"Have to go to school," he said.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtkn7Ro8Jl
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnqAGQ87YG
Oliver came round the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyCEQk7hgN
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRdYURFw4
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5zqfBpAN
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXnQRHJPFq
ears.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQasQnrpys7
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCs20NfAhX
"So adorable," said Carly.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2OlvjVJ6y
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTuU21YaQE
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2k5dZpVvR
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrRR1Sk9aT
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyFJpEgFgs
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IXBBDSivN
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsKdaLr18s
"Well, I do."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjM3SdyUW9
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ydoEMh8aW
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhoDlyeJn7
"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."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaNXXNXvwx
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnRRysYLS
"I'll find you in the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl0l7nhD3P
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SIIJmk0eF
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdlaRE1JR
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqzDtGxj8k
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EVUAHe68
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFp7jKxERj
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzjkIBsTFa
"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.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC7EZ5Iicf
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS5JgkKsAd
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRPkfh51nf
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfM1RWD2Tx
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbduuGhZMk
Before Carly could 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZij7nQlz8
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWF0ArguDo
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoE5gzAvKR
interested about what her sister was up to.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MgcOHLPGZ
"I'll join you," said 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6xROV27uz
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYCPFHScii
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o0jI2DHJk
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEztSI0Af1b
"I'll go get ready," 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcvwpSTzO9
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA7YWkdg2Q
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUGVFPATGv
times.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7bFYwTutB
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqWagizbed
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w4YBdlhEb
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9mufXiu0C
The last thing Leo 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIsHfsAF4A
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mocNk8Wo
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAEAkITLn
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7csHhNYwn6
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMKNsoobLd
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBR7LZIEvq
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xHQR3Ug14
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBOcgNqIEL
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6kCOVt4yo
"Yes. It's really 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQx8wJ0sa
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nlYRiEkaO
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqA9zla6CX
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTlO85D9V
since I'm so old."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIJAJzVcpg
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.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfuJID1svj
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe5jYZqYgq
"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?"868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdidoBbNwV
Leo sighed. He looked 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsptD2O2sGe
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0DWo11cIG
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNVH9RuSBn
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSKHYg4RcK
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."868Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjuiwLUh1G
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
