Carly walked in through 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4K38XXS8z
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ9ciiLN9a
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO7DFwLbTe
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zi8E5EOYG
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZiKlxngRA
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpLK0VwnWy
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwB2Z5efWH
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uKF74Jkwi
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfjQKZLxfn
"Have you already eaten lunch?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xjkNta7lt
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDff6KLkQC
"Looks like the shopping did you good."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfA9DN7PJe
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmbIzKyMQj
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqK9mnkUD5
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJi8AzQhGB
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHryAJab7Wi
"In the study?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk7BlCm6To
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC48HXy0ll
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WBOZfMSPr
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxXHpxyhxm
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y1X3LorS2
"I know you're supposed 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsOW0pURxU
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNxinhhMLG
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52shet0mMe
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlNly7XZj
Carly felt herself 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa69JIbHgH
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUi0ckOa1w
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWcc78KAtC
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ugrwD9Ety
her that.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEUREgaBbG
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiYZum8Oc2
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbvCIc4xgK
Just before the two 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4dsontBGh
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtdH2k3ySg
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJBZnVqk3S
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtHDx15dRL
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow50Zkym5D
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu9kmLoUsO
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaovW1abWz
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSnDVRzp3N
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ8azAdNT9
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblCLkWo4Bm
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NBXBxoxXg
Carly went on her way 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aLgoQOV7m
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6LmbYIjo7
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ4ii6dDIL
from Amanda.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3TEnhpJ2g
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtkFcgNuyM
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazB3s3lmBF
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVqHp9JOM6
Carly couldn't hear 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQnQvo63S8
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTiFiApwaP
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIjMSeu2dS
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rsWHTIJa0
Before she could get to 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO029oPuxrF
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HY7DW6fIV
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pIwkbIgJZ
She opened the door to 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOhbdocOYd
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOjz9tdIkI
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm84rbxuhVX
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCGIK8fRtA
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGLrD8BFmo
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vIM5RPRzq
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz0wASq9Q8
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kCR92Zkps
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1h0Ix3Nlu
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygavUqFc2O
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLIePp9uF1
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYifmNYKqnz
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ8xt5lwSA
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy3CrJQAPt
"How has been your day?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfhPDULrdj
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMSfd86sts
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSwPg5JvQ9
facing her sister.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87y2wrCHXU
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JuWCMMdJn
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF326bZn7J
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjPebOMthh
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9o6x2C4Zb
Angel faced the glass 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfqFSnNWvz
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6weKIrl0r8
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawguChLbhh
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uAuunhOHk
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMhebV25Om
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡays3UPaSOU
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCFrTMHZbQ
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjIHDmcZYP
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcazBUMfBB
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCff2y7EkbP
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjSrQ3HxUu
Carly's mouth fell open 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRvEFUVCX
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9474vSlLe
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPPZSeXX6k
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlBBGPy0vL
"Do you think I would 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rG1cqWO0B
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASPVkfk7ZM
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8wH4CrtxH
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53vuSF0HJ6
"For you, yes because 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXZZs7zCP
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBBZChYoM
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWyfVxY0KA
the mall?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5BIGDeACQ
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZlA0oFj2F
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GiuRMeHtQ
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvkBjDjs3x
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1darI5oC5I
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddTLjBeH4
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHILMwNI2
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhW6ZdB7LU
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJEHC1y0aw
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW3wjiuYBW
"I wouldn't worry about 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWjBeCyBe
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLWpknUrB6
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOfVqEJbsL
"When a lady's fiancé 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb90UXrz0SO
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk8eaAl8B6
that there might be another woman."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN8yuFpat2
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXxqZHbNty
Angel felt like 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4McBjAXY7
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHqqkbFSU7
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BF0Bon4HH
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSPt65L9Ji
"Well, what do you 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cnPg4Ocub
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzICzmWexh
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ptwAl28S1
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kCYicapO4
Kim for good."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN4T0vRd9P
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ukp3inFsm
Angel placed the book 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHKIlAhO7l
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ984Z2G436T
started to wheel herself out of the room.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obj6LCwu1
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLhyREHZKM
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApAugjw3g
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xO5Uxj2OH
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSByFllq5
"You want me to move on 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujy9mBD9zC
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rjWly0bMg
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gB0vxHbjy
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUEOeXwezT
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NO5XK6n7q
"What?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa8Hbmdph5
Carly felt powerless as 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdQBxNGaf5
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L6NCwrCfb
on her chair so as to look at Carly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23yeTDd0PV
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TKv2DPDCK
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFVLOwPsQj
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5T4CKFXH3
Carly felt her knees 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhx778HrYx
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ktYiUu85
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3YGmM1xh
lost and confused.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1GUVwDcL8
"At least you now know 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsIDAV2pag
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYoBPKAnBL
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGkabund4n
to or else that would've killed her instead."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDSNgXt1kH
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlRXaUrKVu
"But it's the truth." 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgJhwqzBOd
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjVSJt3GDi
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCuTONEmQi
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbInr1sYXXD
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtaw0BJI5q
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqxSg0tyk0
Angel looked on at 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPSSWqE7el
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEd4dUxjvP
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNPfK805HS
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIETDQ1aup
sister anymore.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE8cEdFGIv
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfT3EbWTij
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRStqNzxC9d
Angel flinched by the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr1IIqyd4a
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTD1g4l2KJ
hadn't heard their whole conversation.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgzNuuhVuS
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupVX6LwPrr
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjbD1z2KBz
Amanda continued to look912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxXG7yIiPg
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGaVPneDcn
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokjzQQMIMm
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx55jVvzg8
"Well, you should have 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo37WlSuKpU
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DOOnhXojq
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspULxtVVvN
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm9bbyhE91
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336x1jgRgf
"Of course."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeHdkjUR3I
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRiWyBmXMS
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeg2OXTfzY
"Well, I better go and 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjAfj8rRdx
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XqXLgSBhI
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNutLcclTe
my best behaviour."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh5n0aYK3P
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0qOK9o28x
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLil8n1RkP
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJibkIuQUGI
"You're right, dear. I'm not."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoYbtGzBUW
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwujnKimokn
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qt08dJ54l
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUMHAXviCN
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx7aCmgkwe
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRdnPT6aQU
Carly looked at Angel 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinEsogIE6y
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWOIST1Vbk
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOoZ2mZ12m
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUK2z0CW97
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHNyJppamU
"What should I do?" 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXOm157En
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mDlxvqYGC
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGAmNpOJgz
dinner."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOULUfFNGhF
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkUoTp6Iq8
"Are you serious?" Angel912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ72Dq1t6xS
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGynP9Oijmv
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHuWVx0FHo
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHap1b8hfZ
"I wouldn't like to know912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMby1zLa30N
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsxFiClrnV
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYc54YMwDc
future."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650V7agQf3
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVP8vv635c
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3y6kQeJJH
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwToXkNBRc
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFFRsTpfM
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCMNFeIhDp
Carly almost gave a 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFNbYZ3YT
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMCQJl8lu4
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqoCNtBrDN
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUfBHllgG9
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjamfX43dZ
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkIYIuQMSD
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eNBDXcd8U
Amanda turned her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT6EYtE1cv
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3nlIPaEac
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNIN9Ja63
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWjHsHbI8t
"With what?" Angel asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6bT6zUYr
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHxUzObNrr
"Carly, you aren't going912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHct2wYXNl
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtQvxEsRx
backside. You don't want to make it worse."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQhq4ixdZ8
"But aren't you scared?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrehi3sUR9
Angel raised her eyebrow912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61RRSP0yNH
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MrGP9JC7c
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXJwXAXD7V
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8bjspgsBf
"I'm glad you've changed912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vm3mTvlRS
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNjaF8LXsA
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWqqov38t0
would be a problem."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWAQi1tKgZ
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWaBaWiQ4o
"It's none of my 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurvmsKWHol
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJhWW3YrRQ
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEluUkm9O8R
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDZrGGUW9j
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzChvsDYwW
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wkKc6Oocz
When Angel left the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaxThEjQA3
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLClZhcGL5
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
