Leo had a smile on his 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPCd8Msjcy
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IbuKWEPLv
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqqD3RoaRI
face right in front of him.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIU4rj1lsq
It was morning and the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckXM1cprQ
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7NBytA2a
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHLA1HpVRV
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuZ2S06Zo
brilliantly in the morning sun.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbemYaQ32e6
Carly had joined him 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B1St42UAj
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJyIc7IRrL
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJ2SlocQI
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8pGbJUpmT
birds, of course.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lTigVM0T1
It was good she came, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzJdbFRED
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Gks8RuYR
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SEJ304BLH
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcN4iIF0vM
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNwdGWm2Bf
He stretched his hand 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2hLpaStB
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjVKwU24y4
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC54r6wdYju
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZ3ovObB5
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRGWSen9m
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIpeGHt4nw
She didn't respond as 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIbkzuv3ck
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLQe7wm4X
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ENAKR5BFX
himself. Leo chuckled.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdWLgsh5Ag
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfPeGMJwsV
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36s3QevaVC
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gMaxtRtdl
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunAMklw2mn
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR5fte86MT
"You're right. But I 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS96OlA9gn
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabkma3q4gL
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmGIIo7yd7
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7BHQTHCmY
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzQSQDOmPB
They both got out of bed789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzigtNGtLN
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ablSOJU9
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCetBvP4QF
way to Carly's.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqC7fIzC8p
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ1j8TpzA2
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5FdoHrl7W
Carly gave him a simple 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SSp5mWZov
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDD9Hui6o8
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZqSkGOOU1
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7oFmFNYlX
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifJXv7u4X2
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEGM73iRh
He made his way 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyyAulFYKv
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCCgNTIroi
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBaTJDNbex
kitchen.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZdC6yjB8k
He wondered who could be789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooo7D8GCQM
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6bsi5fm3u
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHla0GfFkH0
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh4GpexAzp
little.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQSMIs3sVW
Angel was standing by 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavS2kYC6ju
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONIu6BDQBf
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBXx1ZIINb
thing that shook him the moment he got there.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakdgd8YD3k
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKhVQXHHXP
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstDaxFB4No
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDw9zzklrn
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuZdhGAjpt
"I just had to."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUciyL0BfB7
"Ummm," Leo still 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJSqGo1dgv
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdbwRaQf8V
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyAR77bR3u
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT27oKGJAA6
The coffee maker soon 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVwQLOdwJV
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62AwjvWRuf
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBAJxWadYn
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8XCp6C8sX
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8uDXI6EyD
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSN5DjNnE
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwOgOOL7KQ
"Why? You wanted me 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bY7fxVajn
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI7qWYUEUQ
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjDbOYs4s3
a cup.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ribH0r6Sm
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRhBVljFU
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeAwYsl8n2
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuRn5ClWt
"You still don't seem 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnwqCNBd2
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2HzkR9d1p
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XLWwp7Iz0
things."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjKz9NFHdo
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1u0eEsTGg
Angel took a sip of her 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ7rDmDmT6
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUyAta6e6
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxCA9Xjxq
spent her night with you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BEVkF1OKl
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r8lthybC3
Angel smirked and Leo 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HIe6dTQiq
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfpxo3PCKs
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibSmGr7nq0
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8a9WJJTFC
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNgpyhAGVf
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjFUr9wP2v
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0pgpWGxhY
"You're right, Leo. It's789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsswXfxWn4x
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T1sFDcm4F
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OFNTNfOdv
have any control over."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqiLqKZcyb
Leo was a little shocked789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8d4uD9BJH
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpjCuNNsmc
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT7l70INRV
game?789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs613CaY3uB
She slowly made her way 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZhEgQ5yv
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJKIaPIidk
look at her and something came up in his mind.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfGVR7tZHV
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLoOSRU233
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD0AZp93IJ
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1UpXnJlpz
"The time you came into 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1avnNTxEa
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeasToj2rhV
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlpbROUlTh
Angel smiled at Leo. 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh7OgaxHvr
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWs1dmK70
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadD2KzVAJZ
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNhIfqyba9
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs04lNM3FrE
"I don't believe you."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlTdE8oI2A
"You don't have to, Mr 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw9TcP7kHG
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUro92Zf18
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ajaanxWRK
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdgNqzGaUh
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVuO3c6kJY
"I'll be heading out for789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgujQ9H7kE
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpF0vDT6Rq
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGXxIQ3LZ
Leo didn't have to 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDi9HFnaqA
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcCgNABw6v
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JXf6kobcb
her.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwDXwrU1SP
Leo stared at the closed789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbsn45ePxk
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPR8mDae1
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf0oaUKpub
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG50IRHyn9t
utterly disturbed.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoub5WpH8gm
***789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtZUJOejI6
In789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtWJVyBrbA
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1vj1yCOI
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLZjbnVavO
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mdiEnTWO
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P8HvMbJkQ
"Morning," said Amanda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pNrTxtF73
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgFdSQBOsj
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC9sPDc1Ub
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZuk9ePE87
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrcXTnti67
"And789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNPu7YGDAH
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cGPwjHnBd
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1atiUDdtz
"Do I?" Leo asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ455K5JmWw2
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQw7Y2cPhw
Leo789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxbtA58aar
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETk5Ft4ZB7
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkemYoiHfzy
knew the reason too.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLWBImrtq1
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbAjJph4i
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo2vpdjTmx
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTaXr8mNDI
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXQmW82dr1
"Lovely."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsPtmyWeL
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkAkB4tT45
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQtlQAGhrf
Upon789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh174kvFk0F
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xnn2VA5ai
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHiC4BN1j
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC5vfapQWf
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ml5AJL5xa
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYdjRSjJc9
Eric789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAmcZb0w7K
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC0Lse1Uen
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3bpwCX112
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64tLAsCc9s
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhR1h42Khe
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGy79TG8N7
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPMGgaWLmI
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjbsy7fAY0
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJaAOygAiH
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V7VG1ifQM
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNMla7OU2w
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhRNUXMTfj
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1rA7zvSuJ
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJXiTTdjy
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUkDGFUCnd
Leo789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKL3r9EWuj
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrW7FXOM4r
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWZuZ9tD3c
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyANscpz1cg
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FHM6oPYDA
Angel789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOn0aFrWc
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOvZUuhrLp
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoIP6bCC9L
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqGfk3LPH
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByiOg8ynbW
"I'll789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xqumd38b
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYQL61ugd
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e4gqjL4hy
"Yes, I would," said Angel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFtHOSqzLT
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoCjqaAq48
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSuxIPkSd2
"Yes, I'm not."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyn4ktU8DV
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkolfEa97zH
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXGaZQNvmM
"Yes, I would."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhtbeNiZK3
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX6D89dFe0
"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."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmAlOBIz3
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U15FmoSgV
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3fIWdYBb
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1hjbaQYHf
"Yes."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPvdio30ux
Leo789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n1pvp1Eac
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aefoiGhS1
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lx1Ow3By9
talking about Angel.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUaQyR2JYe
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.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ouwPRJ45
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTruN1wKzO
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC9IohLfg0
Before Angel could find 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUVt9y13MQ
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwj2nB7UCb
seeing her sister, standing on her own.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpGpwC1tkn
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DwUYuxqPt
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfLkJjxRS8
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUjLmZ6sPt
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."789Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmVz4q3Q2
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
