Carly walked in through 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEgoChUz7C
the front door, exhausted. She had too many bags in her hands and her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TiL8M4dZD
feet were already giving her hell since she wore high heels.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91i5Uaa1o
One of the helpers, a female, came just in time to help her with her bags. Carly couldn't help but feel relieved.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwChrakB2
"Please take them up to my room," said Carly after handing them over. The helper made her way up the stairs.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MjIOmTdJu
"I see you're back from shopping," said Amanda as she appeared in the foyer in her wheelchair.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJsVvUf1L2
Carly smiled. "Yes, I am," she said. "How have you been?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEqaXFyDCO
"Never better, dear. Where is Diana? I thought she was with you."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MnY8MAZv7
"She had something to do at the salon and told me to come here."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRy2E2mqY
"Have you already eaten lunch?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5UmRYEbrP
"Yes, we ate at a restaurant."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjYMTLSNB
"Looks like the shopping did you good."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2rw9n5MQ
"Yes, well, a lot has happened these past few days that I really needed this."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbk3Zopcfs
"Mmm," Amanda gave Carly a smile. "I can tell. Nice heels by the way."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6WcPFKl70
"Thanks," Carly smiled at her.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8AQ7S4QTV
"If you need Angel, she's in the study."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDYRp9Zw5C
"In the study?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4DVBgtvJj
"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."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPazET1iSAz
"She's like that. Always a bookworm." Carly turned around to close the door behind her.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxQ8ZVP0hJ
"You should also be on your books, don't you think?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUfCnHVSdN
Carly looked at Amanda and wondered what to say. She could even feel her cheeks blush.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6ANhttlz
"I know you're supposed 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdGoKxSan
to be at college," said Amanda as she chuckled when she noticed Carly 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmxlH5mZ2F
blush. "But it's okay. It's Friday anyway and considering what's been 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsTPi0A7Uo
going on, it was good you went out to get yourself distracted."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIfzZzaep
Carly felt herself 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkh0FY2WlL
relax. Amanda was only pulling her leg. She didn't like anyone telling 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y4EVmP1Dn
her that she had to go for lectures. She knew that already. And she 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCD1ZFFUFE
wasn't going to be comfortable if someone who was not her sister told 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir2cxpDN1r
her that.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zk4rcdMe
"I better go and see Angel," said Carly.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO87PflH5aQ
"You go do that," said Amanda, "I think I'll go and entertain myself with some soap opera on TV."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbhDpBeYse
Just before the two 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROxknR7tDu
could part ways, Mrs McDonell came down the stairs, talking and laughing820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN271BNS09
loudly on her iPhone. When she reached the bottom, she cut the call.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbLJa8QWZp
"I see you're back," said Mrs McDonell as she looked at Carly.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyafeHaYG4N
"Yes, I am," Carly answered.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cn4ExM8Na
"Nice heels," Mrs McDonell raised an eyebrow towards Carly's pink heels. "Did Diana chose them for you?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknfJ5HWuSy
"Oh, no, I picked them myself."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SRS8odQKm
"Nice. You've good taste. I hope your sister does too."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopFdheVsBG
"Oh, she does. You have seen nothing yet. Wait until she gets better."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKrp9SQTHT
"Can't wait." Mrs McDonell tried to smile but it came out dry.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBibyGQOmC
"I better go and check on Angel," said Carly.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpgNLeXLi
Carly went on her way 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiggA29Dk2W
taking the left side of the foyer and into the hall where Angel and 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolydkdqnEg
Amanda's room were. It also led to the study she just found out about 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4drg0tBRk
from Amanda.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj8ajwzyF6
She was within earshot of the two ladies who remained in the foyer when she heard Mrs McDonell saying:820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ehPs6aas
"Kim will be coming for dinner today. I invited her."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbID7Q3dUQ
"You really want Leo to be mad at you, don't you?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCm1eqra0E
Carly couldn't hear 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLTrdJIrrF
their conversation any more when she turned round the corner after 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxonBuhmqr
bypassing the two bedrooms and found a huge large mahogany door at the 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLH3Jma7AL
end of the hall. She guessed that it might be the study.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWxHWhUhBY
Before she could get to 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq0sqRLh2h
the door, she wondered what the two women were talking about. It 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe840RsJ20
intrigued her in some way because it concerned Leo.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5AmagaEcv
She opened the door to 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Paeh8yJQ
the study and was greeted by the sight of shelves filled with books. The820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3TuiSBAf8
room looked cosy though. The brown coffee carpet and the empty 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk6hAVkOeQ
fireplace with cosy brown couches next to the fireplace gave a warm 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxC8IYoz7O
feeling. There was a huge glass window overlooking the garden outside 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGluwmTU5X
and just in front of the window was Angel in her wheelchair. She sat 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgNgc6VViF
facing the windows but her face was on the book in her hand. She looked 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqizzIRgWOA
taken away with what she was reading because she hadn't heard the door 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP565qqz1t
to the study open nor Carly approaching her from behind.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9JKjCqtat
"Hey, sis," said Carly when she reached out to Angel slowly and placed her hand on Angel's shoulder.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TN27CL9QO
Angel looked up from the book she was reading and at her sister. She didn't seem startled.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhX9RNv2KB
"You're back," said Angel. She sounded blunt. "How was the mall?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzokaQtAVG
"It was great," Carly answered with glee like a little child.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTezXog2q
Angel tried to give a slight smile but failed. "Glad you had fun."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHsDTMERkA
"How has been your day?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxurVzCN96
Carly asked as she went over to an office desk at the corner of the 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBslxuQrBK
room next to the huge glass window and took a chair, came back and sat 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVkmn5PJF
facing her sister.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTdJc2vVKc
"It was okay, I guess," Angel shrugged her shoulders.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeXNNqnL2l
"You didn't have another fight with Leo, did you?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunme9GIYNd
Angel furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Carly. "And why do I want to pick a fight with him?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo8tvrg5ta
"You look irritated. That's why I asked."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SjrWj712J
Angel faced the glass 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9tw2GIPLS
window. "You know he and I can't fight each other within the four walls 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgnSGQHA3
of this house. We were with Amanda almost the whole time."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVp9CNzJen
"You were?" Carly sounded surprised. "How did the two of you handle each other with her around?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMR9ctv2Yt
"We didn't. Immediately she left we had a chat. And it wasn't a good one."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYryIbqWuH6
"Okay, I am not ready to hear what you two had to say since I know it concerns me."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxoHGcuqd4
Angel rolled her eyes. She didn't say a word more as she went back to her book.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43R9K7GHhZ
"I heard these two women, Amanda and Mrs McDonell talking just now," said Carly changing the topic.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr6xMeYjH0
"You know I'm not in the mood to gossip," Angel answered, her eyes still on the book.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ShEUyM9O0
Carly didn't listen to her sister as she continued, "I heard them talking about Leo. And someone called Kim."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx65hpTLIB
"Kim happens to be the woman Leo was supposed to marry."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb3GfzR7F9
Carly's mouth fell open 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6PqFKmpNF
as she had a surprised look on her face. She looked at Angel, who 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifA4zVCn4p
happened to be still looking at her book and not at her sister.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZabLhhmZp2
"Are you serious? You must be joking," said Carly as she shook her head and tried to laugh like it was funny.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9AphUZs8Y
"Do you think I would 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4LHpyPNq
lie to you?" This time, Angel turned to look at Carly. "If you hadn't 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7bMIYBZq0
gone out to the mall, maybe you would have heard it for yourself."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aI1re2jN0
"You sound like going to the mall is a bad thing."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aZrnq3qBk
"For you, yes because 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSoPVP8NNS
you were just from mourning. I know we have to try and distract 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4QwCEOcC
ourselves from our mother's passing, but did you seriously have to go to820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt9RsroOm9
the mall?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX9TLraPJx
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was fun though. Look at the amazing heels I got."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0w2EYUgrW
Carly gestured towards her feet with a grin on her face. Angel looked down at the heels. She sighed and shook her head.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0bIZ2OUZh
"Are you really not listening to me or what?" Angel asked. "You should be worried."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1f0fkDYA
"Worried about what?" Carly instantly stopped smiling.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrEq3HSU2
"About Kim. I feel she is really going to cause trouble for us if we ever get to meet her in person."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJkdIWKytf
"Well, she's coming over so, I guess you'll be worried."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyxzNfgCkS
"She's coming here?" Angel couldn't believe what she was hearing.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduVnZShInP
"I heard Mrs McDonell say that she invited her here for dinner. Amanda didn't sound too pleased."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44cVVavd6F
"The way I see it, she thought Kim wasn't good enough for Leo."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CE9J0TSwv
"I wouldn't worry about 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsOM8klKRQ
Kim though." Carly leaned further back on the chair to relax. "For one 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DxiAB9o0o
reason only. She doesn't know the truth about Leo and I."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Y9HhF2Qi
"When a lady's fiancé 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ3q3boUBb
dumps her on her wedding day, the lady has no other option but to think 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sU4q0XFWN
that there might be another woman."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fSjJjyYrD
Carly looked at Angel. "An accident happened that day."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTnIq1I6Yu
Angel felt like 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQxS65z8C
squeezing the life out of Carly but she looked the other way instead. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CopKCl0nD
"Stop using the accident as a scapegoat. It's irritating."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBqZvR9rV
"Then what should I say? That Leo fell for me?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IMajiSDLf
"Well, what do you 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9I63gr7uV
think?" Angel faced her sister again. "If the accident happened and 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnsyYZlZGH
delayed the wedding, Leo would have still gotten married another day. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeufTm7CL5P
But instead, Leo falls for you, the accident happens and then he dumps 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLTmzoHHDU
Kim for good."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJNRjeTGt
"Okay, okay, I get it," said Carly as she sat upright. She couldn't take anymore of her sister reminding her about everything.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ66kvYhI0y
Angel placed the book 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3snCsJpF
she was reading closed on her lap and turned the wheelchair around. She 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTS6uEoLgI
started to wheel herself out of the room.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIncCrMwkNm
"Where are you going?" Carly asked as she looked at her sister.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ035UKe6roQ
"Reminding you about what you've done is getting on my nerves," Angel answered as she continued on her way.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RDPHsNdpx
Carly got up from her chair and quickly rushed over to her sister, grabbing the handlebars from behind to stop her from going.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE3Je0lslr
"Why can't you learn to move on from all this, Angel?" Carly asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtMmfZwUet
"You want me to move on 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9yJXE7MTo
after what you've done?" Angel asked without turning to look at her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx3IJuAzli
sister. "You not only betrayed me, but mum as well. She was right when 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVI8vUUaQG
she said something was up with you the moment you came home in the early820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXo3HF7B5Z
hours of the morning and found a stash of money in your bag."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RGx2ID7Je
"What?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3qeCLZ8q
Carly felt powerless as 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ9HwHRhJu
she slowly let go of the handlebars. Angel shifted a little to the side 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ScyqFi5rW
on her chair so as to look at Carly.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNG9MCXigB
"You heard right," said Angel. "Mum had a feeling about you long before I even knew anything."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp3XBlg2Po
Carly went pale and she felt her mouth go dry. "When did she tell you this?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT06I3Y7lTI
Angel hesitated before she answered, "the day she died."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7GvAwYXvL
Carly felt her knees 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjdQICZlGx
lose their strength and she felt like she could drop to the floor any 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2KJa37q1B
moment. She took a few steps back away from the wheelchair. She felt 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAb46x5a1O
lost and confused.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvW0uyO35w
"At least you now know 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIeNs5Adl6
that mum knew something was up with you," Angel continued. "She just 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyHgP3XU4
wasn't sure what it was. I'm glad she didn't know what you were truly up820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6qokUYuMm
to or else that would've killed her instead."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7clLN33rK
"Don't say that, Angel," said Carly. She felt like tears were about to drop down her cheeks.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaJc6NWZX5
"But it's the truth." 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo8DsfwRE8
Angel fully turned her wheelchair around so as to look at Carly straight820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs67u7pkGak
in the face. "You know mum wasn't feeling too well at times and finding820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdIgMQkAE
out what you did would've killed her. I'm glad the good Lord took her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zz8hE79y7
away instead because if you did you would have felt my wrath."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAYILFvhWn
Carly flinched at her sister's words. Angel was upset for sure and Carly knew better not to say a word.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJfWKN7YHW
Angel looked on at 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FRZJ7Y1T
Carly. She was one person who in the past never liked to see her sister 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WKM7Bku1x
cry. Whenever she did, Angel was always there to comfort her. But this 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT02GONPoyk
time, everything was different. She didn't even feel like hugging her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwyTYXvSdC
sister anymore.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawWk3g5b6Z
"I'm tired," said Angel as she looked away. "I think we've talked enough for today."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahm8rCqvxF
"Is anything the matter in here?" Amanda's voice came at the door. "I thought I heard someone shouting."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUAikEx0M
Angel flinched by the 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNKIqfE0Kw
sound of Amanda's voice and she silently winced. She prayed that Amanda 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs2riCqfEL
hadn't heard their whole conversation.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9VtQWHnh
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.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8sf7OtYZ
"It's nothing, Amanda," said Angel. "I was just scolding Carly for going to the mall. That's it."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEaWoSJ3RC
Amanda continued to look820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC8JMtbXfw
at Angel, then went on to look at Carly. For a moment, Angel was 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0HBnkoB7
praying for Amanda to believe her. But with each dying second that 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oxteQtfdx
passed, it looked like that was far from happening.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FvkPqwY0C
"Well, you should have 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS64fe9ibC
talked to her properly, don't you think?" Amanda asked with a smile on 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZRo9F1Wt
her face. "Look, you almost made her cry."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k9Rd0sqfk
"Angel could be a bully when she wants to be," said Carly, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHUvwRl5MN
"I can let this go for now. But Monday, you should be getting back to school, young lady. It's important."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2uSuGT5Nq
"Of course."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl7WngAaZo
"Angel only wants what's best for you. You should be considered lucky to have a sister like her."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TeHjDlYDg
Carly smiled at Amanda and said nothing more.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4FLa0M8PM
"Well, I better go and 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXBQug7a4
try to relax myself," said Amanda as she started to turn around in her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayDv9ibJmA
wheelchair to leave the room. "Before the evening comes, I better be on 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAS17rOj9H
my best behaviour."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYtpZ1mw8
"Why do you say that?" Angel asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8v84JOLm
Amanda looked at Angel. "Because my very loving daughter in law invited a guest over."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VYexz7NRO
"You sound really sarcastic," said Carly. "And not in anyway happy."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ltqeWQote
"You're right, dear. I'm not."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQN24lwUGU
"Could it be that you don't like who is coming?" Angel asked when she already knew the answer.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAPKe5DXLB
"It's not that I like the person. I'm just worried about Leo because it's his ex fiance coming over."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NXHuHF542
Carly went pale behind Angel and Angel was as still as a statue.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHJAvgzQRs
"Why don't you tell Leo about this?" Angel asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx1ZyMuB7W
"I want to but if Leo doesn't show up, his mother will know I had something to do with it," said Amanda.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo45XzUhfWe
Carly looked at Angel 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKhl6YOpBr
who was busy contemplating over the issue. Amanda wasn't the only one 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLXpXyCzM
who didn't want Kim around here tonight. And if any one of them called 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QKFH69qRN
Leo, he probably wouldn't show up.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOro5bTBIl
"So, you're saying that you would rather let this happen?" Carly asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzPe3QSUse
"What should I do?" 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbcxgZ2tmY
Amanda asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "My hands are tied and my 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApDO0JcLL2
son wouldn't like it if his wife and I argue over Leo not showing up for820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigXZcGqeLJ
dinner."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1ILv8Jvx
"What if I inform Leo instead?" Carly asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdm2hLWdf0
"Are you serious?" Angel820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjcMnT77uJ
asked as she looked at Carly. "You heard Amanda. Even if anyone were to820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcSeXRTT9h
inform Leo, Amanda will still get blamed if he doesn't show up."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnNgWR7Hy6
"Looks like someone knows Bertha more than I do," said Amanda with a sarcastic smile on her face.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL4oHLWTOX
"I wouldn't like to know820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXss6mBGZF6
her, trust me," said Angel as she looked at Amanda. "But I would rather820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgksc7GuNl
know her now so that I won't be surprised by her temper tantrums in the820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDrTh1Zcdv
future."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp8ZxtK5oe
"I like your thinking," said Amanda. "Just don't get into any trouble with her."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG1n7PaRue
"Trust me, I wouldn't," said Carly. "So, are we really going to let this slide? I mean, not tell Leo."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVBzkCANoZ
"We shouldn't," said Angel. "Because Leo's problem doesn't concern us. We only just moved in to this house."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNWfbdZ2Qi
"But Angel..." Carly started but Amanda interfered.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAR3fxSldd
"She's right, Carly," said Amanda. "It's best you don't get involved."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVytwheDa
Carly almost gave a 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2OVMma8j8
frowning look at her sister but controlled herself. She really didn't 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWIKRpbjsR
want Leo to get here and find Kim waiting for him at the dinner table. 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszagZ2zzcQ
How she wished she could tell him what's going on, but like Amanda, she 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJGy0dvq6B
couldn't. She didn't want Amanda to get in trouble with Leo's mother and820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ic4eWCP4J
Angel would only get more upset with her than she already is.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxXGDPRIt2
"I'll be going now," said Amanda. "You two take care."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jaf4GhxOj
Amanda turned her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo2GRINV1K
wheelchair around and left the room. The two sisters waited for a good 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuswDQx90IU
few minutes to make sure Amanda wasn't within earshot.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iIG6fgorn
"We've to do something, Angel," said Carly.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t45ae7eSp
"With what?" Angel asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbqZvnL4eu
"You know what I'm talking about. Somehow we need to let Leo know that Kim is coming here."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qoueCFCf
"Carly, you aren't going820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iJuBUnsHV
to call Leo. You heard Amanda. Leo's mum is like a pain in her 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Ei08VRzC
backside. You don't want to make it worse."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAlOK5FVGp
"But aren't you scared?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWnNPXfWQC
Angel raised her eyebrow820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozgi56AZFX
at her sister. "Oh, now you're taking my words seriously when I said we820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvjqa1MPMT
should be cautious of Kim, aren't you?"820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxlnjvHcLy
Carly didn't say anything as she continued to look at her sister.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbc3IM7KDy
"I'm glad you've changed820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOhocAie33
your mind," said Angel with a slight smile on her face. "Maybe you'll 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N7Tme0FIc
realise that all this isn't a joke and I was serious when I said Kim 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLDgJYuSWT
would be a problem."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZg3Z9QNTd
"You seriously aren't going to do anything?" Carly asked.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL6HLWniJm
"It's none of my 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkuG90IMSW
business, Carly. Our hands are all tied here. If Kim is coming for 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zIvtjxGQ2
dinner, she's coming and we can't do anything about it."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hd9x6Gcck
Angel made her way to the door, then she stopped.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKqMYlgYPW
"If you dare even try to warn Leo about Kim, I'm serious, Carly, you will see the worst of me."820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPbbXQGj1h
Angel's voice was stern and she didn't look at her sister as she spoke. Carly felt herself shiver to the bone.820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsPXquWx6u
When Angel left the 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU6rCgJqRI
room, Carly felt helpless. There was nothing she could do about dinner 820Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz0C06XKAA
tonight and she had no other choice but to go with the flow.
