Leo had a smile on his 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P6rILi31x
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboypMo5dzU
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLeqE39HoL
face right in front of him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIZ1rdW9yM
It was morning and the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8hCcetrpQ
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwcrChsxe5
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSrOoFWYP0
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT53zimRK30
brilliantly in the morning sun.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzapDiqeE2R
Carly had joined him 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ056mPcfdkp
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEQOkFaLhj
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4w1nDiILz
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSW0nTQ92Y
birds, of course.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhf7sclezz
It was good she came, 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSvxVPZVQH
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdP5Gjt43N
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMIYpE2SwV
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15VL4qUUHI
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1OXoEtb1S
He stretched his hand 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ccGYtgsdB
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzfdiAfzNO
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3rzCMDzaA
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0jOgl38C8
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzltScm6DJ
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc4ZGAtJ0q
She didn't respond as 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kuelvpWip
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrr6xgMO3i
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqYCjJb4f
himself. Leo chuckled.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuWShT7LEX
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEkz2qtGnR
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIOq2HlHtU
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.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHu4PbVdCW
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncauSd1azO
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWo1lhtT5
"You're right. But I 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYtGKMs59
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV3IZ5SKW5
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmb6UI2pH3
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1x1wUR7p
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKzh3xVkm
They both got out of bed769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNczO56Ohy
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVeWN4Gqu
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfI2c0EXS
way to Carly's.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY9n3ErTjQ
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYHblMD3GL
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FlcG4Lylm
Carly gave him a simple 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0J7OzkyhU
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFbgdxaWqd
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvDl2AgaUy
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh7iYZq1Dv
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCPL3ULvkD
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRz9Cv7sMA
He made his way 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTW7VD63l
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GWBp6MWmW
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbcTPGfMEv
kitchen.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9HFC9AuZD
He wondered who could be769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPV6NlkCuZ
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCJlZss54
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCB4zdkdry
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9hHXzGAcE
little.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtnrW7aY2f
Angel was standing by 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZcXJAtjWq
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCabbmcpUu
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwEyT52iSN
thing that shook him the moment he got there.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGA5txMGHm
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86SYADLZjc
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzvMwLN4K
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuSguv033
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHKsUcYT6
"I just had to."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEver4zFw
"Ummm," Leo still 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE26Ba9MTiw
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsuJs52jzO
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1MxMHRNx
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdJg7fvYs5
The coffee maker soon 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9yb8Rxqm2
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBTS1sE6nV
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchx0eCm4vA
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNqzltvX0P
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPbL1dpO9d
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlG8M3FGXr
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaqCvn7s0s
"Why? You wanted me 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Ymx9IDO4
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTGqpi9KQ
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmMB9Wqwgv
a cup.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMBnKErvcY
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfQBy91ntY
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ7pj977K7
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNi8r3yEfc
"You still don't seem 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IW3oqd6Q2
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiRUpOXJy4
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5FlMjgTwu
things."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPwK4tQbLU
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8CgkRWmM8
Angel took a sip of her 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHyT5S6HoC
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaRoEzVrHB
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllEQXP2JGR
spent her night with you."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJQBDWZTI0
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrSVxxFT2
Angel smirked and Leo 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIZ9KPF1mE
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQYZymERnM
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDBji89NPa
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWs3UrxezK
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoXbBpctLk
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLvQkLflr
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokpsvRMau0
"You're right, Leo. It's769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumv4F7KmFq
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBnA8uQKC
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNeL1Y8Kaa
have any control over."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyVzN9Ts0q
Leo was a little shocked769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GCm6rGtZK
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0rGRnLt7
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Ih663KO1
game?769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZC02spkqI
She slowly made her way 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfAvR3sNPt
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37qwlpcsTo
look at her and something came up in his mind.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRUA965Gif
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdaRTZdg54
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U397AARav
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHPwVJSj61
"The time you came into 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLdVKqwYvA
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V2HMmglsx
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuznxiD9mJu
Angel smiled at Leo. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjRQ1hVMZd
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7iMV2SyG
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWYaIJaKd9
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYf6ETCd3o
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjph1BAnSDk
"I don't believe you."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYRSTjpsS
"You don't have to, Mr 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMo8pmKt3u
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInzyotITb
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAdcXBPKWi
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOvoD8PdZq
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3oIQ8fvhZ
"I'll be heading out for769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wtv9GF6ix
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQZQORR3G
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSnyURUNM8
Leo didn't have to 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJ1gzmBEA
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsANkxJnTJ9
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ84Il5eqxG
her.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0YwkVItz
Leo stared at the closed769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTsf2JxqXa
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp3l4pjGQL
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcMPUgeUDX
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS3dA3lGVH
utterly disturbed.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvRrKJSNRw
***769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yl4NQG6wd
In769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIuaHDUCB1
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY0sccMaWT
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3hVJvZGOs
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuhOUcbozO
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X9KeBGNsT
"Morning," said Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar16PXSF2e
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14HAdx6usg
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhiPWPO69w
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11TPZWkMHu
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X6d0Mx9iW
"And769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lSTO5Oj7G
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69h89Dvov
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUV4qnWV3b
"Do I?" Leo asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuze074dWt0
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTz3rW9iZ
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOQci8bUa
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sd41coBGY
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Ask8ER0h
knew the reason too.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnfDq5jy0N
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWEhZPJPEI
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsPWidnc2U
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Trr0oucjW
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDmwIP9v5c
"Lovely."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIGI0zvnlu
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhewqz3tpq
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulEJF3UnrC
Upon769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQfOXRml7K
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp3YeBVgyW
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQAUKl5NL
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Y4FsCl7D
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jeE82PAUb
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2vGyNNpsH
Eric769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhnQpIBi4m
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHBms6vpLN
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGe59M0F7o
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVbvm2n966
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqEGROoy8P
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCujW8BbeyT
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHkoJI7xL
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBm2AUo1Me
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB2m2e2F1y
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtVJV6LfEU
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B6fXrw4ay
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkqSGvzCnp
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YVzjv0fl5
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TLDnXNh71
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGEoHo8lXu
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWhdJPnvO7
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSxz2y3FHY
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFB7as3qUP
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKccHqcQIQ
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFshxxKfA7h
Angel769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrc9DSZJiY
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2anPwq7JPJ
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8nhhiqJiv
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsov1PtxD1h
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHPXOPkJ7y
"I'll769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRjkdEWxON
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg4iaMgNsG
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobm0QIdbOR
"Yes, I would," said Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrgSxzlnNL
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZRRTAMTwA
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp9QOznZ9i
"Yes, I'm not."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoVqUS6fDL
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3AqSUVHMh
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBANuJfnG6R
"Yes, I would."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOXgy3VsyL
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiMp9ueRQU
"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."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx34jkW1AH
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs7KwPZE2M
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGwazNC2kI
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6as5K8czLV
"Yes."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiDa9n2Ohc
Leo769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eQTFYoxoK
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRm9eaLOwe
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkA6Gc5ha0
talking about Angel.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dt9xM7nlY
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.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlS8Rs79U
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQOnmhYbPC
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrS1WrnQdK
Before Angel could find 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ekEgEkHu
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiKKk7ydTE
seeing her sister, standing on her own.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8858ZpLGtN
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFvc0sgaj
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxvKRNfBJa
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdbmvmWSH9
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUyStzGqLB
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
