Leo had a smile on his 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwrn45Oo5H
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh7GAc5JaB
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOvecVKLbg
face right in front of him.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4AENcFhC4
It was morning and the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57K0QBwu3E
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWibkphGiJ
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUH3oM9E5G
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZiR8jQ3Oj
brilliantly in the morning sun.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhuBdkxrYm
Carly had joined him 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli9xPKZvSU
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjaVcKmFy
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp7U0Kmbi5
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUGVeNXWun
birds, of course.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkBpKV8LFt
It was good she came, 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8KtO3faMw
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEnLMeATlq
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65phkRW2s5
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KxXjwcLBS
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtBxL1E3fJ
He stretched his hand 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidciquFHjH
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fODHtd8fs
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBSPWxqPi6
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh63CdDmvu
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d3DzHDgxt
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciBGhZ2qpc
She didn't respond as 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVdlXMCkVf
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RTalHIS9j
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghGgKIkQcm
himself. Leo chuckled.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLImxqp4ycZ
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9aaYFIIda
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGv7PScxsl
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.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4bHhXL6gj
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ177IppT74o
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSed2Nl5rz
"You're right. But I 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30QIqCbKmK
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLKbQ7twe
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKmdiMOreM
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdygrcbhXld
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtvmyegoON
They both got out of bed786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2JK7AqAcb
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSvBDI6zGI
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdIouoxfIi
way to Carly's.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dF9VsLFu
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTidGGDz1Wa
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v8XovFobN
Carly gave him a simple 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnixLkvsE74
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTRXOktVLX
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbVakcVw6r
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBxScjJSKe
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49RLi3UWnp
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq7whrrX3x
He made his way 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrCuaaQ7Ot
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7iswLgBRT
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2gd3Brf18
kitchen.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevlFscC00K
He wondered who could be786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclTpf3b413
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ZRAoUNJ2
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm07r2OqN4
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72nle8IOY9
little.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRmnqvTvMA
Angel was standing by 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOAONBf06
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiUs3NedyA
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIEggubcRj
thing that shook him the moment he got there.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv4flIMWgj
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJP0BXpXZR
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTykLBQxLsV
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0acYfQiu9U
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpY4bKElb0
"I just had to."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKuLWzjHcS
"Ummm," Leo still 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwCC82HGKZ
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPPB4zx2pG
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq2KN5leZ6
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMBYBCWwq6
The coffee maker soon 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY0cRNWeWq
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSplVeiq4jL
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkTaO9ci3P
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdZ2bzl22i
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9svu04K55
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNVmYw5hD
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqr8yYyMS5
"Why? You wanted me 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LQOTQn9gu
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTeOpH1Q5
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq2lvxgQ8F
a cup.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mXpMBG1KH
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3hbpr8t9X
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKyUCsTdq9
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfpBjhjsBl
"You still don't seem 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujMsdPGcq
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16YYoONI9Z
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrno4RpCpAp
things."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLdLNYG2CN
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmYtMhlsus
Angel took a sip of her 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i2D9L7NOx
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMtbzBPw5
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVANQPnnVl
spent her night with you."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLand0HLa
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHDKhOjElU
Angel smirked and Leo 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD3VKOEkOy
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b2tFF577J
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfAIPZYYK
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14FbeYIKbf
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjk2EXVXE
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO2DituPpD
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXoejNEx7n
"You're right, Leo. It's786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasDnTRVyzE
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXlPS8pt6
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx5tpsEBhQ
have any control over."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60YqLdgRyD
Leo was a little shocked786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkZhp4ofqg
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRueTcuJaAZ
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHSGMZcln
game?786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iMMproEzn
She slowly made her way 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHsprAL0Sq
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF3BrtsR1c
look at her and something came up in his mind.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjCmIYLcvp
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHnehksZBr
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRhS0slN4C
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9SIST6tV9
"The time you came into 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugqT5Z0zn
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl6Mk5zM6s
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOctRKdGvH9
Angel smiled at Leo. 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMUkGOuOyi
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkNatvXTQi
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLIpgenXZ8
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ73QAzrTOh
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL84XAywqii
"I don't believe you."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QNCDDI7Yp
"You don't have to, Mr 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxbRttFzaw
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1bsffDKP1
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAmEwTWLqY
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DUAz4c4RY
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q11Tf2YyK
"I'll be heading out for786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WIY9RCVlu
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJYNCrrQT
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY8XH50dGM
Leo didn't have to 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeagK3MBfp
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThM85EJrIp
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ9QeVwduh
her.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hM97ACngP
Leo stared at the closed786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqN3dDXvI6
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5qo6mfxds
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hn2c5cnqd
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKkeS11NU
utterly disturbed.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHatpuDUHMv
***786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI3xZN7tzs
In786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLyuZcgMd
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1B1DSl19
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelciaBHZHD
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2goLHZj2Y
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED9BKow0yZ
"Morning," said Amanda.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwzwr3KV4r
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVgUCwsP1I
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLH4eV7BD
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLknM2zpFe8
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca7UNahQU4
"And786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡova0MVSktC
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6jHQruDn5
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg4xjYjEH9
"Do I?" Leo asked.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubKPY2NMCs
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xn9STQAX3
Leo786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4aQwFcpoL
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhAbHNXGpP
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNunew2pgZ
knew the reason too.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUJOi8bmQB
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDxatk3GU0
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUftuyWDY4
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC2YF1VVM2
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf5KfSLybh
"Lovely."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7LJMhNJT
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnBQgmXS0
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MSmWM9E5Q
Upon786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyHioGfAZJ
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvUeh9ytRd
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw2rBeNHCm
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoHGTaSQ3l
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdkOqU4Yv9
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ0pbxwHMz
Eric786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOzHHzNSrK
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASeRW7wXLT
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMnW0F0TFi
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp6aVZE8gK
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQx8grpkJ
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Eh5muzf25
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel3FatcWZy
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxV8PYU5QY
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFSBQ8CRnm
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfAPbIFaB9
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwqtGbIWfp
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP01hwJAS2B
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMHBUsxwYb
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpXDj4pCJw
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHBwEsBsM9
Leo786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CVy7BUs9
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyr6Te7dNS
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHLgfhqIwj
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxrtFiXabY
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs4cNCPMiH
Angel786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4qvrY14dE
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSuEbNffix
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3pKwNu0p
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmlQqwtnlp
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUeo3DXdq
"I'll786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS87fsH7X8y
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU9UuXdVKi
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcLcT4yl4X
"Yes, I would," said Angel.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1nY9KQCuo
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axsGmto2I
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxjtgTE8hm
"Yes, I'm not."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUB9j5tnXR
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0zDrd9GjV
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Gihe6fHn
"Yes, I would."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUhtLOD0vi
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFVwBVpObQ
"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."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ohL5msWUw
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6JxS5Xnp5
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgZe1WGrZ4
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLe6vZRpL7
"Yes."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KWEWtdLFa
Leo786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRHflc9qAS
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRzfKM6wi
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gb8PoYKR8
talking about Angel.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPpHO3gwA
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.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL5RLoI8mR
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Hibq3081
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClqhhKUCUm
Before Angel could find 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkAhl1GbU0
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCZ93UhEBl
seeing her sister, standing on her own.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE66KsoLft
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbipvFbco62
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf0CpjpEIY
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNVQYV7TNd
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."786Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZtqU7Es85
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
