Leo had a smile on his 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2byjguHfri
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Fju80Oik
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPL3aBYFt
face right in front of him.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVbxY8FhoI
It was morning and the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQWJ5W4ZVL
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOxHQthMNj
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2DhmPRbDj
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2qZdKY45p
brilliantly in the morning sun.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkHFBn7tRJ
Carly had joined him 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RhRqOLdzx
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJJ37lbn9R
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvy35ZKHUy
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSiXbEi2RV
birds, of course.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SDWKlAL4x
It was good she came, 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIV0IoZk02
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMNFV19QNK
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPWzBMzom
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJeMBIIuph
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5QoctCDpe
He stretched his hand 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy7zAs7ayY
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXgnEVEOu0
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNquzGuHIKe
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDaPucpJBs
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgAPiDLWvi
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbDPJCHZyD
She didn't respond as 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihci6ST8u6
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEg92eLOCN
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFI76Ov9s
himself. Leo chuckled.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4aGIbN2qn
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQiXE2ahfL
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nJtm9OPOa
Carly groaned like a little girl who didn't want to wake up to go to school as she covered her head with the bed covers.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbeX5bbkJc
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw2ESgKV4x
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOkXoUMOFN
"You're right. But I 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC22FFoWMJ4
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuinxW2EZ
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlbaBc8pWb
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kR6oSc9Wf
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal51V2gEnO
They both got out of bed877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ty85WslwS
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjANco2gsAA
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoilBPReuZ
way to Carly's.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnte5zAdvJ5
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF3Vn0BBHx
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9sBKU1u5V
Carly gave him a simple 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOvH9Asux7
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zc91I5KB4
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApNBSojkQV
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qF0A06ZmH
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqQ8gaZmr
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPYFHUdH3d
He made his way 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PGuZRzOKv
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD65pwS1jWy
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH754HdlaK
kitchen.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSQeZoiSWB
He wondered who could be877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNMwL8h12M
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjScXZtuIcY
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUmdkJOllr
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkazFqhcG6
little.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FVYd2fkXR
Angel was standing by 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXBW0kBamw
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw98qxDWdv
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTML2eBQoxF
thing that shook him the moment he got there.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3xPB22eQo
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfVp1dKxy4
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MdYVVYbGx
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBstMNsbifY
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZobUZZboI
"I just had to."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGJnpHUmLt
"Ummm," Leo still 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNdV6GmU7
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x31OgAs2C
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gTrxVaKfg
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1RlmYZyMS
The coffee maker soon 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngL7aONP6
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0X24A4pFK
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAjAz1O8yx
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJozqrXct
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeKWYfRXLn
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZw3715NXM
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckeAiwe5bb
"Why? You wanted me 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXG43OKqll
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFGQLRcWAi
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnjRMVvy3R
a cup.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9aMVPNcPx
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiARQmbYV
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI67B0GwnJ5
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRhu3gA1V8
"You still don't seem 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSZHjhTANO
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRzr3sMzMV
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTDs7CJ8h9
things."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLQeglfaam
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXJDNGeRT
Angel took a sip of her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlcjV43lUy
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEx0psXhwm
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloopQspcYl
spent her night with you."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE014aH5m3
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP3a1LPcL8
Angel smirked and Leo 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x2etnpP8R
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfizrTg2WQ
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUJaNpqevv
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchFjGXgfJt
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf4kwOi1Bv
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhwVgE3CsG
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsgkIASrC
"You're right, Leo. It's877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwyYA3gyjz
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDMKnybudl
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zTqMYXeDP
have any control over."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b9ONkkdru
Leo was a little shocked877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgSCkPGNbd
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMfm6Pw48
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNg3Ev8jF6
game?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21LjGW3iQO
She slowly made her way 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYLHqm6dBr
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadrWapcNUv
look at her and something came up in his mind.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUEKZkoyy
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMhuGgj5oE
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpKeUkH2cn
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkWLrLIsWX
"The time you came into 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzqLBaHNb2
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbyq391dGR
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysVd4cO47k
Angel smiled at Leo. 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp61Oef8gBJ
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmUOu9arnT
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoH2uA2dLF
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCUv9qyS3
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaZ5CmMv4K
"I don't believe you."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs3469pszN
"You don't have to, Mr 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujxbewJryy
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ChldlaWFP
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vA6E3BxUx
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgox5hYpsRe
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXgfuLS1q
"I'll be heading out for877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseGGWGNT9N
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iWmoX2qjv
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTf0QCFqLD
Leo didn't have to 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7BLyuBTxr
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPPXGfZ99
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEA3T7sqj9
her.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPFD3RjJH
Leo stared at the closed877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOQiUfGORJ
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeahgEMIK4h
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxZn6lTUI
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2poJ3604AY
utterly disturbed.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCHlbQWGQD
***877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi1t45l4ms
In877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5zDkI1yNu
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEFdqxBxip
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4xf2P5rUG
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4a9gtbqg9
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLGDP6DYDD
"Morning," said Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcllr0ckVx
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkvnqcYI8x
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmReYS6T83
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwx9sWMcd
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5YwYEV5Ep
"And877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhBfRttdpB
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqSvu07qH
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt0rfe8eK4
"Do I?" Leo asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuIxJBwDaP
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTThmATMkN
Leo877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqq7xHonoN
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRU5nBkArZ
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0kYEhxh7k
knew the reason too.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt78ATkmZsF
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQJPYd2TO
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXdXdOf1Us
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yE6U9gY07
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWZRbyxm9Q
"Lovely."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwWJWuGnDD
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I9yivRyuL
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0YJRlw9YV
Upon877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeIRBHpAx9
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunud42R6a
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRmBKJgrYh
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyKXeN0Uz9
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uudsvZch0
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IU6tfaco
Eric877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc0B07Q08F
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMHbmZ1Vw7
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPhFUf8Lo
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfakLVei9
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRVksUUoLH
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6h49fbtI
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbVW9IkFBi
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktsr1v9443
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7n6ufxelz
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WH2Z77IfJ
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtSa3BDlb
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPK54tg8di
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuNP5AW0eI
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJlPI0PYXS
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9a1jrr42B
Leo877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo69O5vtSC
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Lb1OK3lh
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVLyMLxEzV
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGt47tifA3
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhZAF4ad65
Angel877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbm4SDw1eE
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaClvt0SDT
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqyETFZaC
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRokfA1wBu0
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsto77ex1KL
"I'll877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi6DojhfVU
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lOxpSqGdF
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0FYh7fZF5
"Yes, I would," said Angel.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpPHZh11FU
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9k0UHCn8p
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4P607XFkA
"Yes, I'm not."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd2zIJji8r
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsIqf68e4S
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLhF6kl9Cv
"Yes, I would."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv5tpBugZk
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9fsgoOtr8
"I'm afraid that's the one thing all the boys have in this house, charm," said Diana. "And sadly, no one can say no to them."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjmVnPkqn2
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYkvoWunaS
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfQqVP4ix5
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPbBR283d2
"Yes."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUWsKZCbiE
Leo877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHz5Ey12H
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaGLEQ8kqh
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXc9docbTm
talking about Angel.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwKXHOMOll
Surprisingly, Angel also stood up from her seat at the same time as he did. The two of them looked at each other for a moment.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPzwKIqnjM
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5JMQZaj6d
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8iXKcoiI
Before Angel could find 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXODNFySWOa
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1bmZEmIO8
seeing her sister, standing on her own.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrDQIHxLfS
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeUtUTv2dW
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs26SrqoakQ
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0i9yH7DuF
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoygqMosjmZ
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
