Carly walked in through 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHYbcCXObg
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4C2RQKp0s
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5RHVoUca
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Nu1hbbmA
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhn1CTXXm4
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bvuPnXxHu
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElevDvoT34
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTcGScP8R
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVEnFvw67
"Have you already eaten lunch?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5FxdY49lZ
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRqMIDqYp3
"Looks like the shopping did you good."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqm51qrojm
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SFUVRfLnk
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2mWz9li2E
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvyq927SXz
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusYC9JZSGi
"In the study?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2qHmQ1ryE
"The study downstairs. She was a little bored and didn't want to watch TV, so she decided to spend her time with a book."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik2f2MfJRt
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOCxqUPW3d
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQ8jR1LBF
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglV7xrIJKw
"I know you're supposed 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQO5YDLveE
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOCbiSNUQJ
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjmsaTc6ti
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYAMd2Q4VC
Carly felt herself 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUQWlzIBlJ
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7zMdkACgz
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQTiTESGQ4
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfNiNxOatX
her that.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPKbCCrMEs
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO7vvrzfII
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakChMzGSre
Just before the two 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIVik9Hyn4
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE3Uj9iPUH
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNCVehGSCu
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZDv4CNKtV
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh8JmhnQhz
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNakS002yU
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0MhivpQuI
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO2S3MkUNQ
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIkcs17aaY
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IoYcqHa8P
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeQVD9gQ2I
Carly went on her way 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vI7dJ7xhS
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0o7NGaI2U
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF0NvRpX0c
from Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO0gyzPiQw
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVAJNpsV0w
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLpyKeR3V9
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXJCCitJ8
Carly couldn't hear 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDcRn8otSq
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGg7QnxO5u
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9q6ditDin
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502G4M0N3l
Before she could get to 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx17V0pH1MJ
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn23X3pkLO
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm3oymwnjd
She opened the door to 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6r5sxWUgF
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekpSO9kvVz
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9zcoZ85B
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZYqe5jwM2
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JTmKHKil8
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcf2VoGBC
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJRYTyWA7
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCMSSuWPtW
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVShaPBMs9
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA1LmfOQdU
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt35mHNuKZ
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8J2GsQlRn
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uYy4mO5te
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsJTdr7Rxl
"How has been your day?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iV7Oi91QB
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpBu1v0MjJ
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P3aUTJDUa
facing her sister.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA8ApY7TTa
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLvvOvzR5k
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pwvzdJcT3
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfJ2xEjSPU
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaS2lNiFkg
Angel faced the glass 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GnxwRGUww
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUQ2Go2C6v
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYhQkTJOkS
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE8lbkf9h5
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDy6wpzcN
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqB4jjRRcc
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkZdIbxsR
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItLE3ioQIs
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhtZ4eqctI
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeL8LAtFVR
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RzecEg0yS
Carly's mouth fell open 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv3E3BpWUl
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMPhHlcUwK
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskXg0JoCq
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKZfzdloE3
"Do you think I would 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86S8Fnmxl
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7QawNkYu
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdysddf2d
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogBWdFSEmO
"For you, yes because 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy1DjqjaZ4
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QFhJkq9jh
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWIYzKg96x
the mall?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O95c0pip2
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqYSFirZur
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPWBU2g08o
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp7IJ0nFy0
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtqp1Ndt42
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9jUFCJzGf
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhsqbhGpC5
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw7om2uXMD
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JJdtUyRZM
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti0l3X3K22
"I wouldn't worry about 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITK3SXj95R
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4If9hmT0i
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I36X5osVh
"When a lady's fiancé 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2vPnkGXxL
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgkSLBDVeL
that there might be another woman."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6whGCOCb0
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCNf9myXE0
Angel felt like 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PArRUP7fS
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWSUWl4Kyl
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdClkffEs4c
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA09v4aAVe
"Well, what do you 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgSdswna6a
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQvwCFBcG
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0IoaXXRi2
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCwXQ5Jql1
Kim for good."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd94dNewSqK
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN94ACxs3V
Angel placed the book 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZTU4eJQg
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchRIsEMwc5
started to wheel herself out of the room.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpBDwDRgFP
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4CMUhLfEW
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RAmu5kzPn
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DSHyLjpTK
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ptbfnXWz
"You want me to move on 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOa30NXrxG
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE3iDRddXH
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJZdbdRkjx
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDzuv0zcI
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROtJmfrEr6
"What?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lFZlusPA
Carly felt powerless as 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikgsGSRQUI
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAnX2LOUcc
on her chair so as to look at Carly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZkYyQyO0
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2qjPntOHx
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSuC5bdZk
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiz2LSf6IG
Carly felt her knees 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJy5TEYugD
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMux6KvSC7
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwOv7D0LBF
lost and confused.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzVn725Hnx
"At least you now know 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2jvq1lxYS
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhrXRZRXv
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTVP4tlGrp
to or else that would've killed her instead."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFSxICn0Oy
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLNT3lIjmH
"But it's the truth." 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKpTXMBqa4
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6fVS0Ua3R
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pq6i8I795
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqxwNPg3i1
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9467iugax8
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5cUjXjsx
Angel looked on at 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6pD6Sy2CF
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInANOgrgLq
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZGE7UX6nr
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPG6HwUHd
sister anymore.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Utg9sOmHX
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDbZYoriso
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoiAfREV43
Angel flinched by the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mg52e9rP9
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Bzewmp49
hadn't heard their whole conversation.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn9T28D4k7
Angel turned the wheelchair around and saw Amanda by the door. She looked on at the two sisters with a worried look on her face.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtf6AGtGJx
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ecAJ1Jnp1
Amanda continued to look877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQfFb2p1X
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K60bzhitk
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbYeCcclS
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohft0vxHUm
"Well, you should have 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIjMmMZ0U7
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4qvXQqUHs
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4UCADHHb4
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XA1Kqs7hR
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o8JluMKC3
"Of course."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNaewHdQob
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop2P5WleNQ
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1WS5MDDZi
"Well, I better go and 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsORTK4pIm
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRomxPTaKxb
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlndhXQr1a
my best behaviour."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRu1waZxes
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfgJ0wxBoc
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGBFepZCl1
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHqb2l8d3X
"You're right, dear. I'm not."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkXbzkoxgl
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCLI2TPrtf
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rSoaWFWIG
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOSQR4vu8
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuKWfDazVY
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lmql3Ptr
Carly looked at Angel 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yhn7xaOIk
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx61ya4G83
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqSx6V1wG3
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr90WtpcJf
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iO6B3xaNI
"What should I do?" 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSDgKFJiZS
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrOyIp6sJ
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyFQcQeqDy
dinner."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WEostCmJi
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52oxjZYb2O
"Are you serious?" Angel877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkgxPh66dc
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNIdfzIXcE
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IzHvccmX6
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4JFcJCaG3
"I wouldn't like to know877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAw2q7RKnm
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZSuas3RDi
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrAD1DPkmF
future."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgOBOiAd4F
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QxMKTLtE3
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Gqfm97m4
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg7LaVUfJl
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aOikR5fLF
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1ClrpaVtZ
Carly almost gave a 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY54nyLpN59
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTat7soNnh
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEgSlHUkUn
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGny7DFCPH
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qp9JvTDbn
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQHgrO3hs4
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPJTb6lEtu
Amanda turned her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5GyrQHaWb
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk6YBOZI1f
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvTpLd9W5o
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQJqYShK8w
"With what?" Angel asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFNMq586EQ
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPTpR3AjSZ
"Carly, you aren't going877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv3ZJYhPhK
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdyridcEzI
backside. You don't want to make it worse."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcPGP8xIdy
"But aren't you scared?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHel2petNbn
Angel raised her eyebrow877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5n2JtLPJh
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q7NodD6wj
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb4prKgtAm
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSdBD0NJQ5
"I'm glad you've changed877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxwanSspD3
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDlQvhKNoJ
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0dSsKF7G
would be a problem."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb34h6s9uA
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGAQhChHWQ
"It's none of my 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh45GE9pV6
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcF7KbrjOB
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzdPcXRMqg
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HnAMYsro2
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUzE2wAUqL
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2IHEI611G
When Angel left the 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg9IULkrc0
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpbIDaCDN9
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
