The phone alarm woke Leo777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyypSuP0kMc
up with a start and he sat up on his bed. He got his phone that laid on777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyiIcbjjOv
top of the drawer close to the bed and switched off the alarm. He was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOCTEVVKsI
shocked when he looked at the time on his phone. It was morning and Leo 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPf3CwlJXJ
was still in his clothes he had worn yesterday. He must have been so 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdwJsl0fGd
worked up last night that he had even forgotten to have supper with the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQK6yw1ZS
rest of the family. He still wondered how he had fallen asleep all of 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGMXBXjTBi
the sudden. He just scowled at himself as he ran a hand through his 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarY65jP6p
scruffy blonde hair and he got out of bed to take a shower.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jioiJjeTl
After taking a shower, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L0z4ENmu0
he picked out some casual clothes from his closet since he wasn't in the777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjy1xlDYq
mood for going early to work. He wore a blue golf shirt and a pair of 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dUvY84VSj
cream coloured chinos. He combed his hair back and he looked as neat as 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLHoPaEySt
ever. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunctPnszq
He soon went out of his 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2iizV32J0
room to take a walk around the house since it was just the early hours 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WQIjXC1V
of the morning and almost everyone in the house was still asleep. He was777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr2NYk0Yni
heading towards the living room when he felt someone coming from behind777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXdZZmKrR2
and wrap their arms around him. From the scent, Leo could easily tell 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG2A94iyxb
who it was. He turned around to face Carly who was beaming happily at 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zgoL04yxq
him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotuwkfnllG
"Well, you're one early bird," said Carly, her smile as wide as ever. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybNsOPWEsQ
"And aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Leo asked as he wrapped his arms around Carly's waist and pulled her close.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oWgSpyRZ0
"Don't ruin the mood by 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyYAx61EfZ
telling me to go for lectures," Carly tugged at Leo's collar playfully. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9RV3rbg5W
"Let's just try to enjoy the moment."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmoClcwcBw
Leo smiled as he 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FaZAkRsb
considered what Carly said. It was a beautiful morning and the sunshine 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8w7t6ydI8
shone brightly into the living room giving it a wonderful warm feeling. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbrwZvJ16L
And Leo was here standing with the most beautiful woman he had ever met.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UY9Zz9o73
Her beautiful glowing face was too irresistible to look away from. Her 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ688iezAw1
soft brown eyes looked up at him and Leo couldn't stop staring back. He 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeBEaxrx3P
bent down closer to give Carly a light kiss on her beautiful lips.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHLH41AWv5
"You're right," said Leo after he pulled away from her lips. "We should enjoy this moment while we can."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmcgMQvK1
"Mmmm, so what do you suggest we do then?" Carly asked as she bit her lower lip playfully.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJ6v5hVyU
"Well, everyone is still asleep, so, we can have a few minutes to ourselves. Come up to my room."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCstJ6ns9x
"Wait, I come up to your room? Won't your mother find us?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfiQPFEiCf
"Don't tell me you're afraid of her," Leo almost laughed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppo1Xnz2h5
"I'm not scared," said Carly almost pouting her lips. "She looks like one heck of a drama queen."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj13m8XKlp
"She is, actually," said777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch2XJQaoPD
Leo. He pulled Carly into a bear hug. "But don't worry, she won't do 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaExaLf8Gte
anything to you. You have me around."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnXuvcdA24
"I know," Carly smiled. "Let's go to your room. We have a lot to talk about."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlULgmkbzYU
"Oh really?" Leo looked down at Carly. "What is it we have to talk about?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kqgRDdTYi
Before Carly could say 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7TqHQeKUm
anything, they heard a loud thud, like something had dropped to the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Tdz0WHNj
floor. Then they heard someone faintly mourn out in pain.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrq9OUU8kX
"What was that?" Leo asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9hdUanXkm
"Oh, my gosh, Angel," said Carly as she ran down the hall towards Angel's room and Leo quickly followed behind her.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtuT0gzyMa
Carly got to Angel's 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMpfAeSa5k
room first and when she burged into the room, she found Angel lying down777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogyJtidntI
on the floor close to her bed whining in pain. Carly quickly ran to her777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYFNztZ65W
sister's aid and that's when Leo had finally appeared at the door.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTz8tw5MLn
"Don't worry, Angel, I'm here," said Carly as she slowly lifted Angel and helped her up on the bed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw9dMoF7W0
"What happened? Are you alright?" Carly asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl71DDTbEAF
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBoYaT8zuC
"You know you're not 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GxQ9RajM5
okay, but instead you still want to do things on your own without asking777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgw2qZzdI5
for help. You never change, Angel."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeSTbcbUWw
"I'm okay as you can see. And by the way, thanks."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTsC3TfImT
"Well, since you're awake, can I make you a cup of tea?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp7XZPtvJV
"No thanks, I'm fine."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SkZu98r5f
Angel went on to look at777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9rz7dIc2x
the door and saw Leo standing there. She stared at him for a moment and777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phx81Fqyh
then she went on to stare at Carly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHddzETrZI
"And why are you up so early? Do you have a lecture to attend to today?" Angel asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bL4wm312k
Carly paused as she 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmefqq392HH
looked at her sister and then at Leo. She went back to facing her sister777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE58sEEHLX
and before she could say anything, Amanda appeared by the door behind 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMx1K2wzT4
Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr8zOHkUNC
"What happened in here?" Amanda asked. "I thought I heard something fall."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9czyLxfeIJ
"Ah, yes," said Carly, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByZWpPGDf
feeling relieved that Amanda had arrived. "Angel here was trying to get 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnofFJmCf1
something but ended up on the floor. Nothing to worry about. She's not 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9LpM4tbN
hurt or anything."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwMr7eAHOw
"May you please drag me 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76917PnSBF
in, Leo?" Amanda asked her grandson and Leo obediently obliged and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzz15Acmws
pushed his grandmother's wheelchair into the room.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7FN1emu0i
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked Angel.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLIt2ZY4Nz
"Just like Carly said, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVWJC6FKDB
I'm fine," said Angel, giving Amanda a little smile. When she looked up 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSseMUut1K
at Leo, she almost scowled at him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4EAxiJ0JL
"That's good, but don't do that again. Who knows what might happen. Thank goodness Carly and Leo came just in time."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D2PLqDpiR
The room soon had an 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd9jD7QrbJ
awkward feeling. Amanda couldn't feel it, but Angel, Carly and Leo 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTiZmPsODB
could. Angel just continued to stare at Amanda trying to hide the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZV8Ip3Vmm
awkwardness.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr1Kd8qwga
"If you need me, grandma, I'll be in my room," said Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2qZpCK7PX
"Okay, dear. You and I need to talk over some things. Let's meet after breakfast."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6em1SeyDnE
"Sure."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ59WbuZkhk
Leo stared at Carly 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZzEnIOQV
before he left. He wanted to smile at her, but he could feel Angel's 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDQJqNl9mW
eyes on him, stabbing him like daggers. He quickly left the room to 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KX3gbw7t6
avoid any more problems.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v08Nd1opd
"I was about to go and make a cup of tea," said Carly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTlC4ko6bl
"I don't want....." started Angel but Amanda soon stepped in.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFztKfdUmdy
"Tea would be lovely, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcZ0NyL8Uo
dear," said Amanda giving Carly a smile. "It's sad that it's too early 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dTlinLlzA
in the morning for the helpers to be up and about in the kitchen. They 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLZx4AGvC
could have helped you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbmfi0ChdJ
"Not to worry, I can find my way around," said Carly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgdgyODPfF
"Good, Angel and I will be waiting."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ckn8G9kh
Carly gladly smiled at 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTDwKvMYWh
Amanda and quickly made a beeline to the door and closed it behind her. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h3yPvlcOs
Angel continued to stare at the door. She couldn't help but wonder why 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTw9OR1xce
Carly was up so early. She was never this early. Or maybe it's because 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLNoY4uzmj
she didn't have anywhere to go last night?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXed97PhiDt
And Leo? It was strange 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYmWu7nynv
that both of them were awake at the same time. Could it be that they 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSZCPGHIP
were together? Angel couldn't stop thinking about the two of them 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRotqXkiaAA
together in each other's arms. It almost made her sick.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUP7p9jaMm
"They were definitely together, no doubt about that," Angel thought to herself.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbrYuOY9xY
"Are you alright, dear?" Amanda asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw78VKAWjM
"I am, you don't have to worry about me," Angel replied.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxkFbODFUg
"What were you planning to do that made you fall?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZZY4bBhVs
"I was trying to reach out for something and I completely forgot that my legs weren't completely healed."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4E7DyrjGe
"I understand. But tell me, did you sleep well, last night?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAbUHEQPD
"I did, Amanda, thanks for asking."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqG3UtmdOQ
While Amanda and Angel 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELeUswx0BY
continued to chat, Carly was in the kitchen preparing tea. Just as she 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDt0ql37P
found the tea leaves and put them in the two white teacups, Leo appeared777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYOaWQXRnE
at the door.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRdv6TChq
"Hey," said Leo as he came in.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAa17PD5mR
"Hey," said Carly as she gave him a smile. "Sorry for what happened earlier."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HluRz1hmq
"With your sister? I know she ruined our little moment. It's like she knew you and I were together."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EqizruWTo
"No, she didn't." Carly 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVE1tUBtct
went over to the electric kettle that had already boiled the water and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZgAchyB4G
poured the water into the teacups. "And besides, you shouldn't have 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Tat0TXmd
followed me to her room. The way she looked at the both of us when you 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CDwks5ca9
appeared, she probably knows that we were together."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IzyoqZAnx
"I don't care about 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYEwP5sDyr
that." Leo came over to Carly and wrapped his arms around her waist from777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuohffk0Oi
the back. "She can think all she wants. She knows my feelings for you 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXDkicgUHA
are real."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxe0n8nJoC
Carly smiled and she 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudohKK8WZl
loved the feeling of Leo's arms around her. She felt so safe and secure 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvml1FWlZ9
that she didn't want him to let her go.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhTSIyka7g
She quickly turned 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkbp8Zto7L
around to face him and said, "as much as Angel knows, the rest of the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Vg84toyH
people here don't. And do you know what would happen if they find out? 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr541guNmpK
They would freak out."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDs5rSZQDG
"Especially my mum," said Leo rolling his eyes.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMK4iT1wgz
"Yes." Carly gave him a smile. "Especially your mum."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGZeFl5whc
Leo continued to look 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgvRAvhpSF
down at Carly and he couldn't help but bend over and kiss her on the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTNkgFvDH1
cheek. Carly couldn't help but blush as she playfully pushed him away.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75U1N416Op
"I've to go and take tea for my sister and your grandmother."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3WQ71tURv
"Wait," said Leo as he made his way over to her again, "may I just give you a little......"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9gkMov24L
"What's going on here?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWQK1Rj2UV
Leo and Carly almost 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrkzXmjYEF
jumped in fright as they turned towards the door and standing there in a777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJy0XFAX1
blue nightgown, was Mrs McDonell. She looked over at Carly and Leo with777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TejSTzHIK
an eyebrow raised. The two stood a few feet apart from each other.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeT9ZB6uPM
"I asked a question and I demand an answer," she said. "What's going on here?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVjrymn4FT
"Nothing, nothing is going on, Mrs McDonell," Carly replied. "I was only preparing tea."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49NppLSkgi
"Tea for who?" Mrs McDonell folded her arms.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PkVuQ2xmp
"For Amanda and Angel."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExYctqO9EB
"They are both awake?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzqDTSalz
"Yes, they are. They are in Angel's room right now."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMzN10cU92
Mrs McDonell looked at 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fL6ksNOIa
Carly, then at her son, then back at Carly again. She couldn't figure 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnmukaslKS
out why the two of them were here together, alone. She just brushed it 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCdYejbshG
off.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8pfxBVFXo
"Fine, take their tea," said Mrs McDonell.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02oL2DWy4
Carly took the tray 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18JsSypGov
where the teacups lay and put the teaspoons and bowl of sugar on the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxdHVh5lv
tray. She quickly made her way past Leo and past his mother standing by 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKBJaugPU
the door. Mrs McDonell looked on at Carly as she disappeared round the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI84RVJa24
corner.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRCCcLIkfD
"Mmmm," Mrs McDonell looked at her son. "She's has a great body. Even through her nightgown, I can make out her figure."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjyTT3vkPr
Leo shook his head at his mother. "You're so unbelievable," he said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoup9x3xkrO
"What did I do now? I'm just trying to make conversation with you. I never saw you when you came back last night."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfqSB46PM
"I don't want to talk, mum. Maybe later."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyViIwOmN58
Leo made his way to the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjeVRUs3Aj
kitchen door, bypassing his mother. Mrs McDonell could only sigh as she 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBSUXsbwmB
thought of how she was going to handle Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJ7cj5XkK
By seven, almost 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrRkmbHCgu
everyone was awake and the house help were now up and about getting the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDKhoZeJXU
place cleaned up. Breakfast was already being made in the kitchen and 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOEUonaxf
the lovely smell was intoxicating.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHiQbWpNSx
"Oh, my, I'm so hungry,"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jC9GDQVT0
said Oliver as he came down the stairs with his backpack. He quickly 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFezSdq6NAy
dropped his bag by the foyer so that he would just grab it when it was 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRj2f2IA3
time to go to school.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNtoAlymw4
He quickly rushed over to the dinning area and found one of the helpers setting the table for breakfast.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkBsqvprcN
"Morning, Oliver," came Leo as he entered the dinning room. "Did the smell of food drag you here?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5I2OdWtUD
"Yep," Oliver replied as he took his seat at the table. "Looks like it dragged you here too."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVbtu7O3G
"Ya, it did." Leo soon came to sit right next to him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzC6oo4Oxr
"Morning, you two," came Diana as she came over and gave Oliver a peck on the cheek.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklzsxkIwhb
"Morning, mum," said Oliver.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHqdW8CFd
"Morning, aunt," said Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb21KebNiC
"What happened yesterday, Leo?" Diana asked as she sat opposite her son. "You weren't around for supper?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbYWJQxiwx
"I fell asleep," he replied. "I was so exhausted."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKQGu6NXh
"I figured." Diana gave her nephew a smile as she poured a glass of orange juice.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ICTJf3UI
Bacon, sausage, friuts, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLe2E0LVDe
eggs, toast and delicious muffins were soon served on the table. Leo and777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyKIc6Oqv
his cousin couldn't help but water at the delicious food in front of 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qfzHuBqP
them.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRAm29dsMS
"I can't wait to get all of this into my mouth," said Oliver.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB2REkMjX0
"Hey, are you going to leave some for me?" came Carly as she stepped into the dinning area.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ199TBnl2pn
"Of course we were," said Diana. "The boys can't eat all this by themselves."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l9cceD1DJ
"We definitely can, right, Leo?" Oliver asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tX0biNxqn
"Right," Leo replied.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UgBQx98i
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXXmHmqmA
Just as they were about 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuERzANr68
to eat, Mr McDonell came in and settled down after giving his morning 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsUtWlkbK5
greetings at the head of the table. As usual every morning, there was a 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg92Wczx7Sc
newspaper at the table ready for him to be read.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQ21jY8od
"Will you be going early to the office, Leo?" Mr McDonald asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOI6V2oJDU
"No, I'll be there a little late, dad," Leo replied.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6tDoNjSz
"Oh, goodness, me," came Amanda's voice. "Looks like almost everyone is here for breakfast."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhohiIlLqCI
Before Leo could reply 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRF0NaJhCQ
that not everyone was here, he turned on his chair and saw his grandma 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGimHapIPSJ
being wheeled in by one of the helpers and Eric with Angel. He quickly 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLAYdKz6mw
looked away feeling irritated.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A6oYj7Q3H
"Morning, everyone," said Amanda cheerfully as she was placed right next to Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU444tNOSj
Everyone else on the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX1dB80t8T
table said good morning to her. Angel also greeted everyone as well as 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAcZmYGzUS
she settled on the other side of the table with Eric. Everyone replied, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFUtUq1nFe
except Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmOvJLgPcN
"This is just lovely," 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45dRJzk8Bf
said Amanda. "Usually at breakfast we are never gathered together like 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVhK9x9r0
this. Most of the time, we're all doing our own things and people leave 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nondKFbxI
really early."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvxuOarF0v
"That's true, mum," said Mr McDonell. "I was also thinking the same thing."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAysYKZU9g
"Your wife isn't here, 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTNNUEjUSU
though, but I'm not worried about her." Amanda gave a bright smile. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLe5osJ3e9
"It's good to see everyone of you all here in the morning."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26EodxvMlo
"I wonder why this has happened today," said Eric.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKYaUsB0u
"I think it's because of our important guests," said Amanda as the helper beside her served her breakfast on a plate.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpG8qk3OaJ
Angel almost spelt the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ig5mggMZZ
juice she was pouring into her glass but steadied her hand just in time.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmd6bW8ghw
Leo almost choked on his toast. Their eyes somehow fell upon each other777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH8ikJgOA3
and they quickly looked away. Angel put down the jug of juice and Leo 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3e5mgGxGC
just ran a hand through his hair.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U16E4ZWSD
"Here, let me serve you," said Eric as he poured the juice in Angel's glass.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaeQILw6U6
"Thanks, Eric," said Angel, giving him a smile.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8tyxjhDe
"A doctor is coming to check up on you, Angel," said Mr McDonell. "He's our family doctor."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuC9PSrSQQ
"Oh, no, there is no need for that, Mr McDonell," said Angel.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cJMxxJNy
"Well, someone has to check up on you from time to time. It's no big deal. It's for your own good."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r6CvK9dKi
"You should listen to him, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going to be the only one getting a medical checkup today."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxUEZpocw
Angel smiled at Amanda and ate her breakfast. Everyone else went on happily with their meal.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpR1nPs2z
As soon as Oliver was done, he got up from the table.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XCIIlgjUx
"Have to go to school," he said.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW3fSv5IWj
"Okay, have a nice day, Oliver," said Angel.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDttTV3whm
Oliver came round the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8gBsKOAgY
table to where Angel sat and gave her a hug from behind. Angel gave a 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KkK1BqujS
heartfelt laugh. Leo just rolled his eyes at her. He was so not liking 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj5eIAEVCp
what was happening in front of him. Her laugh felt so irritating to his 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5qOsZHug
ears.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsZOIjIrZI
"You too," said Oliver as he smiled and went over to hug his mum and soon ran out of the dinning room.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8PXoObAz
"So adorable," said Carly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa07f69QQ5
"He's adorable when he wants to be and annoying when you least expect it," said Eric.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvhh9UIufr
"That's not true," said Diana. "My Oliver is not like that."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobneVfARo
Eric playfully rolled his eyes. "Then you don't know your own son at all."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTFSOYH2pE
"And you think I don't know you? You playboy."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpvcSlf45L
Eric looked at his mother giving her the sign to keep quiet. "Mum....are you seriously saying that in front of Angel right now?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypmEaKqr6s
"I don't mind," said Angel as she looked like she would burst out laughing.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qaERuOBgR
"Well, I do."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITvgXo86MN
"Enough," said Diana. "You're running late for work."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnIZZszwyV
"Seriously, mum?" Eric looked at her.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71lmsByaXQ
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g1uPKfNMO
"Okay, uncle," said Eric as he got his last piece of toast and bit it and then stood up.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0FDigWvOP
"I'll find you in the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazPGGlWg0x
car," said Mr McDonell as he also stood up from his chair. "I'll go get 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3yRjXETEx
my briefcase." He soon went out of the dining room.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIrsvSpHhH
"Are you coming with us, Leo?" Eric asked.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6iCfnz4cx
"No, I'll find you at the office later," Leo answered.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xi78YKjBw
"Yes," said Amanda. "He and I have to have a little chat before he leaves."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cGkyaFHPg
"Okay. Angel," Eric looked over at Angel and patted her head. "I'll see you when I get back from work."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuoUCRc1y7
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdL7nFXWZM
Eric didn't say anything but smiled at her and said goodbye to everyone else on the table and left the dining room.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlGiiHHFPp
"I also have a lot of work to do at the beauty parlour today," said Diana as she also finished her breakfast.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxWkMDOzzI
"You work at the beauty parlour, aunt?" Carly asked with so much excitement.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj15aInax0
"I own it, my dear," Diana answered with a smile. "Would you like to join me and see the place?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazVnQ3W9Ze
Before Carly could 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCnXJ3ce0n
reply, she looked over at her sister who was looking at her breakfast. 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wiL7Oz6YG
She hadn't finished half way and she didn't seem the least bit 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNgvHuLITu
interested about what her sister was up to.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42qg2L2gnK
"I'll join you," said 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1tzzW5PLM
Carly. "It's Friday today and I don't think I'm in the mood for lectures777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvxd5dbwg
after what happened. I need to take my mind off things."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VM7JEOhE7
"Perfect," said Diana as she stood up from her seat. "I'll go see if Bertha is willing to go with us."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7yot5Xbf5
"I'll go get ready," 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3gHIqRCf
said Carly as the two ladies quickly left the table. Angel gave Carly a 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDt8KtuN2
weird look and shook her head. Carly was definitely something else at 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhD8f1z46Z
times.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDJ0manHu
"Women and their beauty," said Amanda as she shook her head.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR3iKNqjws
There were now the three of them at the table. Amanda, Angel and Leo.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIacd2skzV9
"That only leaves the three of us," said Amanda excitedly. "This is just what I needed."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUhf8AtT1U
The last thing Leo 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOUAjjSl6b
needed was to be in the same room with Angel and Angel also felt the 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3kt93KZcY
same way. For the both of them, this was extremely awful.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXL9t6BQx
"You know I'll need to be at work earlier in the day, grandma," said Leo as he looked at Amanda.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLkowv2zAW
"Of course, I know, you silly boy," said Amanda as she playfully pinched Leo's cheek. "Remember, you and I need to talk."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgQSqSb1iZ
"Oww, grandma!" Leo responded as he held his pinched cheek.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocMd92ewkx
"If you want to talk right now, I'll leave you two, then," said Angel as she started to roll her wheelchair back.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd4rmOHoSH
"Not so fast, dear," said Amanda. "You aren't going anywhere. I need to talk to the both of you."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMiF8mJ1Xv
"Huh?" Angel and Leo said at the same time with confused looks on their faces.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeDC0ZSSPF
"Yes. It's really 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmuDcGPtVz
important that I speak to you both. Don't be mad. We really have to talk777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBHfZ2qL5
and I lied that I only had to talk to Leo so that he can stay for a 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODJZGHKRqK
while. I know the last thing you want is for me to bother you around 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueKRrdtuht
since I'm so old."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY2FB7wh2e
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CD0z8IQkV
"Okay, then," Angel agreed first. "I'm willing to listen, Amanda.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJQXtoY3H
"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?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoRGTAglZ6
Leo sighed. He looked 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNjUgk6aAa
over at Angel who looked like she would cut his neck with a butter knife777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08dGLm0wky
that laid right next to her on the table. He also threw her a look but 777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBdFqemmx
quickly changed it when he turned to face his grandmother.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNW51691W
"Okay, grandma," he said. "I'll listen."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjYuw7ChfL
"Good," said Amanda with a bright smile on her face. "Let's go to the patio."
