Leo had a smile on his 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFO1GjfgnO
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrBgu4Knrp
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJalhFmTN
face right in front of him.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFdD8kECZf
It was morning and the 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpUly0ay6z
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJk5eErdRQ
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fb1ty4lOX
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jMncVk5CD
brilliantly in the morning sun.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXkwkz53fC
Carly had joined him 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFEvRvle65
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIG2DnSNmQ
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e4oMioh5i
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KsoiI5jT1
birds, of course.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeOZrHVIeT
It was good she came, 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nSRe6MYqH
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nwH3u7Wrn
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLyPKhPFA3
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AFqY7mEZX
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHjp8JxgMc
He stretched his hand 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXelRM47XC
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuONKKfqfgz
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkJvaqJz6H
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OgsjmdCWK
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rCvdNnNnM
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tObwtACly
She didn't respond as 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw46dpQ0JAT
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRqTvuBqzN
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6kYIyZWP
himself. Leo chuckled.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFQ3WHo3t9
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqwGtb86km
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTXCWWG2tn
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O7UDwlEEG
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSJNHkfGok
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnt9VXeQq
"You're right. But I 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZTfM6PERm
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFc8TqWvFZ
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKESyVjHKs
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih8MRA9HRP
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDh7LBeDON
They both got out of bed837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkW98NvBPN
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgNcJIwbm
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRsdQgBPs2
way to Carly's.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iF9aiTVzi
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqYAIE5RmD
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdeJpOj1dW
Carly gave him a simple 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Yt6SFO0S
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddl8m6t5Vv
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum7WUhTNa7
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87fkXwjuTK
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdEJ5t5A0s
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwSYNUqjn
He made his way 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxskeSOEbC
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SE58DzypK
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabsPpNu0QV
kitchen.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhl32q9iFQ
He wondered who could be837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaI4xScxp9
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04hReTwEGj
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkmdhwW9X
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ar4MGlj9b
little.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoPkFxfigC
Angel was standing by 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGxJldPL7T
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRm9kP101
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2v9s8zcA
thing that shook him the moment he got there.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuIjJHP95y
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8piThCrsbD
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDNbYHfIlI
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPq96Sz6g8
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC77AOgaf8Q
"I just had to."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyv3PV2w9q
"Ummm," Leo still 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D1CocmBBt
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHyJB733V7
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm9snAVpNt
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbveJPorkUj
The coffee maker soon 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN5qmkGTy5
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlN2ta0HPf
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvr0KMkHJC
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLVznrZXDv
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7LybpevLy
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bhbrcu7Yh
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc4qoGb7vt
"Why? You wanted me 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXXzXY59yM
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplj2XcaoiW
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLOX5Bh7e
a cup.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRZ5NF9Jn1
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dnu2JTQFF
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIYCFerben
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwndC44J4tY
"You still don't seem 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIjSUsQfH6
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg7QydkSLw
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShBoWIuo0H
things."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NECfNyOUN
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl4masYdLF
Angel took a sip of her 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS7yQzTkaW
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44bhg5PPb
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqWqSCjyBX
spent her night with you."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAgIuOu4nd
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHAkDIHbQJ
Angel smirked and Leo 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0PAfPcnOf
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkINwLnuI4
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUWWVXgnhi
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sYc2JBUZJ
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SC3anJesM
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GGGwTD0IT
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgAKxPWI74
"You're right, Leo. It's837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQPxsgmxNr
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzEGZkX2RQ
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH128hOKFKV
have any control over."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMAcxsOoaR
Leo was a little shocked837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRmI79lUFT
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkgOIRaYd7
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQ7OfxaYt
game?837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIe5idWN0
She slowly made her way 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4QU0rvW9
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWvA7NcfT
look at her and something came up in his mind.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVczhPyjVD
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx58vyP9rXE
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAowgNn8nX
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rYiQ70ysX
"The time you came into 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpZIBykmZx
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG1PxXvjrI
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hFo3qgrqh
Angel smiled at Leo. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2esQoZPIcg
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkkpD1kHGm
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfb09v6saF
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzQHVMQLrY
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxqP9BMUPE
"I don't believe you."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG18OXK4WA
"You don't have to, Mr 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaMmTPCkVO
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zqeaR47CI
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYJzD3sdJL
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0nDTqXaih
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguPtZxcO5n
"I'll be heading out for837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Oflys3NL
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQCWmRBUGP
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5OHX3uOOp
Leo didn't have to 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9Q0Ys1Kp
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKlgdqqTYn
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqrkl7lAV
her.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczOLfR2Njc
Leo stared at the closed837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpP1OqVa5M
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6y4gxj05l
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8IpthJgQR
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3HHuOz4oF
utterly disturbed.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zXWWSBzj5
***837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTeOgCvjtW
In837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwjmMghM0P
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u0Zbnumzb
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSngTAb27jZ
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML420RUVmZ
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuatZezOF7Y
"Morning," said Amanda.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96GNyJC6R0
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUptq8mKlJ
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ANibDKrB
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIInnMKVcaW
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ziIjIoZvZ
"And837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlurvskMtwD
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXy1goEFjk
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSSRCF827w
"Do I?" Leo asked.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxcbhZCreY
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmLTCJKT9N
Leo837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF9iKv5Rhp
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3r9AV8Ld1
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCnBuMpX8l
knew the reason too.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESS9NVAkIy
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mm1Zc9Pa3
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0yJ9E11Mr
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT8fRFUee3
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSapGTFH1r
"Lovely."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL45bckd8UX
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz1Z41jwkC
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7QylmwTwg
Upon837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcAF8sWky0
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntPGXaGzmR
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMbAK0rwpX
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ602EMAGVQ6
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOIrrXsnDr
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaVkZ21ddO
Eric837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvglKLYUPpM
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflAvXqWg5v
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEust7uLqR
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgImLsz3k8
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOCOjCUhXw
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9RW31tV0h
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgqkslyhD
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbl5S6KzLg
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERJKiMeUNj
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeNIpplPzs
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVkajHxvkC
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqtWNSTLP1
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA6G0uHzfN
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZRzahLBJ
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDTZGiMcbz
Leo837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8gzuj3MnM
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLVQyl7GUR
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4RkoTzjIi
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JJhRHj6Tk
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9e8pRsC0A
Angel837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2KOyt0K4
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu4UQd2rQi
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWYFfbAKY
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxijUdQN2z
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2qiWGIKP
"I'll837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hreoCfAGa
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1d74M0RCy
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRnjwo2dAZ
"Yes, I would," said Angel.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjpdyTypO
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjxTARdvNN
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArbCA7gMs9
"Yes, I'm not."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIwifgVHmR
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcvmbN6qTF
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho9SGNGnDv
"Yes, I would."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jdCdEmMl
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnhA2BgUQ9
"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."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ODrAbkhaP
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9HStjfATW
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmA7eYowJh
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAKLePGvRa
"Yes."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzc8qFYyZe
Leo837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYu00L2pii
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpwd6boGJ
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fu8uaqR4E
talking about Angel.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhNXrKPy1c
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1bHPu5k8U
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1hPHHK0oa
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmtRB0oGyT
Before Angel could find 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nzPHEXtO5
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsw7uqEcYm
seeing her sister, standing on her own.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIhhwTwzss
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB6bJO1Ful
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMdvP5jou1
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiYBkHEOCj
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfQWF68pUz
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
