Leo had a smile on his 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUB5d1YTV
face when he brought himself to a comfortable position. He never had 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKin2KxJH9
this excited yet happy feeling within himself just by staring at the 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanDKn7qzKk
face right in front of him.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGwty944Sb
It was morning and the 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99gpLF0o1L
sun rays managed to seep into his room giving it a wonderful golden 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROwk0Fpmrc
glow. But nothing in his room shined brighter than the woman sleeping 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f89XV0l8J
next to him who had the lovely skin colour of bronze that shined 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT79I1nKpCK
brilliantly in the morning sun.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69nJL19pfQ
Carly had joined him 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5cyxvG53w
last night after she had watched a movie with Angel, Eric and Oliver. By784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VzjZYk5oW
then, it was already late, Kim had left a good two hours ago and almost784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVvNwOKXlp
everyone in the house had gone to sleep, except from the two love 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP9iFzGJnx
birds, of course.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBcjoe28M4
It was good she came, 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGompXh7C4
Leo thought to himself as he continued to stare at her. She was still 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDS9VLDh30
sleeping and she looked beautiful, no doubt in his mind that she was. He784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN8hA6ihDJ
wished time could slow down so that he could look at her for just a 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfFuEl9CqZ
little while longer. Sooner than later, he would have to wake her up.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzdYpbZPWm
He stretched his hand 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQY40vyDu
and ran it through her lovely silky black hair. For an African American,784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMik1sRBeOI
her hair was gorgeous. He tucked away a strand of her hair that was on 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFXBltMqF
her cheek. When his hand brushed over her cheek, ever so gently upon 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUOXrxFJku
pulling it away, her eyes slowly flew open.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbu8emTIyW
"Morning, sleepy head," said Leo with a smile.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACmnwvvmB5
She didn't respond as 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BaDohq542
she smiled through her sleepy eyes and closed them again. She still 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMEjlpNAyF
looked so beautiful with that goofy smile on her face, he thought to 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeMuB9teH4
himself. Leo chuckled.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KmizkVfA
"It's already morning?" she asked as she opened her eyes again and looked at him.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxbONoPTak
"Sadly, yes," he replied. "You know what that means."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFpeDtvM0
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmUMnIf07M
Leo continued to chuckle. "Come on, you know the drill." He sat up and uncovered the bed cover covering her head.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8CZXgQvc4
"Fine," she said as she gave up and sat up on the bed. "I really hoped that I could stay a little longer."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFCzoO2kO
"You're right. But I 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC92qG908np
better get you out of here before anyone wakes up. It might be a weekend784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0DmwlknaP
but there are still a lot of early birds around here."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxZuWgkoGG
Carly smiled at him. "Like you?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfHA9ZtZ8G
"Like my dad. Come on, we better hurry."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNM8iTqckt
They both got out of bed784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd3tXn4MdI
and got dressed into their nightwear covering themselves with their 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgaaGXvGe
sleeping gowns. They sneaked out of Leo's room and they tiptoed all the 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58lDoPznqk
way to Carly's.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPwlsQZbLw
"Thanks," said Carly in a low voice when they got to the door. "I'll continue sleeping and we will meet later on."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j59K5YwL5
"Great, I'll see you soon," said Leo as he smiled.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5gfzFwlVD
Carly gave him a simple 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2aGA4d6ZF
peck on the cheek and quickly went in her room. For a moment, Leo 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEEaoAdxV
couldn't help but stand there for a moment, lost in thought, until he 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPALkdDh1r
realised that he had been standing there looking at the door. He smiled 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWunepfdBo1
at his stupidity as he made his way back to his room.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRohGbBgu
Just when he got there, he changed his mind and thought he really needed a cup of coffee.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZx8czU9v
He made his way 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUMMQGxdbJ
downstairs and before he could make his way to the kitchen when he 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lHkWuzo0
reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a noise coming from the 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNzsf0lhTH
kitchen.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLkp9VpqLA
He wondered who could be784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4gaEw4OSw
up at this early hour. He knew his dad was always an early bird, but 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBUvBynbSk
when it came to the weekend, Leo knew he wouldn't be awake for another 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxqw5ESTR
hour. He made his way to the kitchen and what he saw, shook him a 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5GoipklLL
little.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKRhgnJ5qw
Angel was standing by 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdYpgrzlT3
the kitchen counter where she had put up the coffee maker to make some 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwbTpzw8MZ
coffee. Her presence somehow didn't matter to him, but there was some 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GohHVVB5
thing that shook him the moment he got there.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0mSnkybv
Angel was standing, and not on a wheelchair.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVB7LY0Hjy
Sensing someone's presence, Angel turned to the door. When she saw Leo, she neither gave an angry look nor a smile.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNojwlgdTev
"Morning," she greeted as she turned back to the machine on the counter.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iDZVUJmfR
"Morning," Leo somehow managed to say. "You're up early."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwhj3dZqkI
"I just had to."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut6M15aQhU
"Ummm," Leo still 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFzCWEfWNm
couldn't believe that Angel was standing in front of him. He expected 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCPXeMWc3R
her to be still on her wheelchair. "Are you going somewhere?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUhipTjjgL
"Thought of taking a walk to strengthen my legs a little."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH1X0AIqro
The coffee maker soon 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ105bRyCL
finished making her coffee and the room became slient. Angel went over 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsV9h78h2C
to the cupboard next to the sink to get a mug. There was a slight limp 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw75PCk8iM
in her walk, but all in all, she seemed okay and not in much pain.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLm14OI70M
Just as Angel was heading back to the coffee maker, she noticed Leo's eyes on her. She turned to look at him.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FathJWQzV
"Why are you looking at me like you've just seen a ghost?" she asked.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgZf3UNwKz
"Uh..." Leo hesitated. "I'm just surprised that you're walking."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFJLcOJbHw
"Why? You wanted me 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3ZHNUGnd
confined to a wheelchair forever?" Angel raised an eyebrow at him before784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqovCdGwnf
she turned towards the coffee maker and went over to it to pour herself784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL2PjD9xc1
a cup.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgWufExhYh
"Umm, no. I'm just surprised, that's all."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGqfCeWaEg
"The doctor said I should start walking around to strengthen my legs."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoWRa2Ut5K
Leo just nodded his head but he was still in shock. He expected her to be confined to her wheelchair a little while longer.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnefURefhFd
"You still don't seem 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OrJAVKYs0
happy that I'm walking again," said Angel, bringing Leo back from his 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRhJR5xrHl
thoughts. "I hope you don't think that this will get in your way of 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAvSvcS25M
things."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PrvUoq1uW
Leo was the one to raise his eyebrows this time around. "What do you mean?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd7861fHmp
Angel took a sip of her 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5pXvJgaR
coffee as she leaned on the counter and placed her hand on it. "You know784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqclc0SQoP4
what I mean. I know Carly didn't sleep in her room last night. She 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFSazwtP1h
spent her night with you."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJBogoTgc
Leo retaliated, "that's not true."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBuyegleuq
Angel smirked and Leo 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TzVUDMCBr
felt his cheeks heat up suddenly. He cursed himself from the inside 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEiWrjefkJ
still not understanding why he was feeling like this.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5QskRxRqE
"Tell it to the person who is now able to walk up the stairs," she said.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPkObjlaBk
"Does that matter? Carly is a grown woman, you know?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wc4sTxlUg
"Carly is a grown woman, yes, but that doesn't mean she knows that what she's doing might lead her into trouble."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgoC8Bultc
Leo shook his head. "I don't think I want to talk about this with you."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWBAEJC5N
"You're right, Leo. It's784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm6WYQqmLj
early in the morning and I would rather walk around the garden to 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFeD9gdmKZ
exercise my legs rather than talk about something that I know I don't 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145wOb0UFz
have any control over."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcxUnpLX8l
Leo was a little shocked784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR84oy8lHo
to hear Angel talk like this. Was she finally giving up, allowing Leo 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JcjtQXUHY
and Carly the chance to be happy? Or was she playing some kind of mind 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXF0xdVtBS
game?784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLY7F7NzH
She slowly made her way 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1VosEKEz4
to the backdoor of the house still with her coffee mug. Leo continued to784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8BU8q6wbP
look at her and something came up in his mind.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwev0A2l1o
"How do you know, Carly's room?" Leo asked suddenly.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0TgrSCk0
Angel stopped upon reaching the door and slowly turned to look at him.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66FhIQUKqm
"I beg your pardon?" she asked politely. Leo wasn't buying it.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwnydCVXH6
"The time you came into 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2emIkm47md
this house, you were still in your wheelchair and you never made it up 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIox04Xkezx
the stairs. So how do you know where Carly's room is?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKVWMafkEO
Angel smiled at Leo. 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX0zkXfVxq
"Yesterday when Carly came home and after we argued in the study, she 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy7SUPB9Bv
invited me to come over to her room since she wanted to show me what she784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90rUsd46Mw
bought from the mall. With the help of two of the house helps, they got784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPjR7ZClQo
me up the stairs and when they helped me back down afterwards."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrVbvXaEvv
"I don't believe you."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9zjT4bBce
"You don't have to, Mr 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YckYY89Nx
Detective," Angel gave him a fake smile. "I don't have to prove myself 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUSEeCSHjy
that I'm telling the truth because you would never believe me and it 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98m6ogRwj
will clearly be a waste of my precious time."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXlj0gTs82
Angel turned back to face the door and unlocked it. When she swung the door open, she turned to look at Leo.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrc8AHVKRD
"I'll be heading out for784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwU83VqBY
a stroll in the garden. I would have liked if you would accompany me, 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPEteM9IEL
but, as usual, things wouldn't end so well, would it?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzNj5Lf94F
Leo didn't have to 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLufFemUJr
answer that question and Angel didn't expect him to. She slowly walked 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGM38ECIpz
out of the kitchen as silently as she could and closed the door behind 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACxYIGZRfd
her.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxelXimARzu
Leo stared at the closed784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCOAfFNH8x
door and he couldn't tell if he was angry at Angel like he always has 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiqVMK2GoV
or he was just surprised that she was able to walk around again. Either 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEdQTi1Oe8
way, he forgot about making coffee and went back to his room, feeling 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNvY8jgQNi
utterly disturbed.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJCrt0i35
***784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJC3y0OczS
In784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt00hOqPKj
an hour's time, almost everyone in the McDonell mansion was awake. At 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0eCaL6ru
the breakfast table, Mr McDonell and Amanda were having their breakfast.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoTMhCQqS7
Leo and Eric soon came to join them.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJV9Y4WiBW
"Morning grandma, morning dad," said Leo as he sat beside his grandmother.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rsp3lDLba
"Morning," said Amanda.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW1TpwrsJN
"Morning," said Mr McDonell who was looking at his daily newspaper.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ZbMxHiKp
"Hope you all slept well," said Eric as he sat opposite Leo and Amanda.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iaXXmHcW9
"We did," said Amanda with a smile. "And I can see you two boys slept well too."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN1jFiOCnl
"I sure as hell did," said Eric.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDN4x2DFT5
"And784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5XNCTE2R6
Leo has this smile on his face," said Mr McDonell. He might have been 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PgFecXxe4
looking at the newspaper, but he was pretty observant.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZZAfyoGG5
"Do I?" Leo asked.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TLe5PlEOv
"Of course, dear," said Amanda. "That smile is even making you look more handsome."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNftlC7DWH
Leo784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0inmUsZG1
continued to smile. And he knew the reason why. He noticed his cousin 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz8bOlrjXu
looking at him across the table. Leo couldn't help but feel that Eric 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtHJ4I69Z6
knew the reason too.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6NZkfNby
"Do you have any plans today, boys?" Amanda asked as she drank her tea.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx4Xh85kjt
"No, granny," Eric replied as he got two slices of toast. "It's a weekend after all."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExbRt0PiZ
"I just wanted to know. It would be nice to spend some quality time with you two handsome grandsons of mine."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFX96D3j0J
"You would," said Leo. "We aren't going anywhere."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPftBoTA1L
"Lovely."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxm53nma3h
A few seconds later, just as Leo was pouring tea from the teapot into his cup, Angel walked in.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDKe6L9gbH
"Morning, everyone," she greeted.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatu45W3iKT
Upon784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwMpmHYYXv
hearing her voice and seeing her face, Leo spelt some tea on the table.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ZherZiwh
Some almost poured on his trousers, but he was very lucky.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6M7FD8IGK
"Oh, my, careful, Leo," said Amanda. "You would have got burnt."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0JWDPNori
"I'm fine," said Leo as he cleaned up the spelt tea with a napkin.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv6vgmckVD
"Oh, morning, Angel," said Amanda, then she gasped. "I didn't realise that you're walking and not on your wheelchair."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYvHvbVbGB
Eric784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgkzrX11kK
quickly turned to look at Angel and he also looked surprised. Mr 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zl6BO2gmw
McDonell smiled at Angel. Leo groaned as he realised that all that he 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd167bVSoBy
had seen earlier wasn't a dream.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6axv6Cqtb
"Yes, the doctor told me that I should start walking to strengthen my legs a little," said Angel.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8EypF3J0H
"Well, that's good," said Mr McDonell.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1eC9vCDAd
Eric stood up from his seat and drew out a chair next to him for Angel.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Wg8hZNMr
"You can take a seat here," said Eric.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV2XsoxySW
"Thank you, Eric," said Angel as she slowly but gradually made her way to the table and sat down.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaPlQbhQ4N
"It's good to see you walking again, dear," said Amanda.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWZfD443M
"It does feel good, Amanda," Angel smiled.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1AWPwDd9
"So does that mean you will be going back to work anytime soon?" Mr McDonell asked.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8pacw9n48
"I've been given more time from work to recuperate before I go back."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXp7VTgqG4
"Okay, then. If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you about something. And Carly too. After breakfast, that is."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXmotgZeTy
Angel nodded her head. "Of course."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqn5IWFe41
Leo784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLvcUELDzm
couldn't help but feel that something was up. Could it be that his 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQG3dzAD2y
grandmother had told his father about Angel working at the company? Leo 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyBDwMrMxd
hoped she hadn't. And if she did, he hoped his father had disagreed with784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U5qtTC5g7
her and that he wanted to talk to Angel about something else.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9LXM319uC
Angel784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294zq0o4Nv
poured herself a glass of juice and looked up at Leo who had looked 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ050IQulzDU
away after he realised that he had been looking at her since she sat at 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOJ1nnZ7ne
the table. Angel ignored him as she got some toast.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlOGNUzZG8
While the others continued to have breakfast, Oliver and his mother, Diana, joined them.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5M3N1hA4O
"I'll784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZP7xsGKvz
be in my study if you need me," said Mr McDonell as he drank the last 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvcrywsCwm
of his coffee. "Angel, you can join me in the study when you're done."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadTCrP4tB0
"Yes, I would," said Angel.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFp2fToDzm
Mr McDonell soon left the dining room.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPABOraC5y
"I see that you're not sitting on your wheelchair, Angel," said Diana.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9GnPDAWz
"Yes, I'm not."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISymjuaAIH
"That's nice," said Oliver. "It would be so much easier now taking you around."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7VOAPTQhb
"Why? You want to take me around the house? I never got that opportunity since I wasn't feeling too well."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIce8Vytko
"Yes, I would."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCotOyLDtgx
Angel smiled at Oliver, sitting next to her. "Charming."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpOmBEC5QI
"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."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqDkwsBMX
"Well, it doesn't work on me," said Amanda.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r1HHzYk88
Almost everyone at the table laughed, except Leo.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiGEu5nAud
"You can take me around the house after I'm done talking with your uncle, okay?"784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5LwUmq4jh
"Yes."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zTh3Fkq9
Leo784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9utHGfG9n
soon found himself standing up, ready to leave the table. He had had 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ta3jJjwW3
enough of his breakfast and he certainly had had enough of everyone 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8sMgH2CHl
talking about Angel.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkSkrMLYm7
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.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JIPYqpgBT
"I'll be going to see Mr McDonell in his office now," said Angel as she drew away from the table.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6CYFmblS3
"You'll find us here," said Amanda.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4lrKOCKpu
Before Angel could find 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetrRjcvj4r
her way out of the dining room, Carly soon came in. And she paused upon 784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOktsUPts
seeing her sister, standing on her own.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBwjdWoA7
"Wow, Angel," said Carly with a surprised look on his face. "You're walking again."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy8VRChY11
Angel only smiled. "Yes," she said. "You should have your breakfast and come to the study."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeoPlzPhAh
"To the study? Why?" The excited look Carly had on her face, soon disappeared.784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjYp1h9V12
"Mr McDonell wants to have a word. You'll find me there."784Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEdfWQ5I6z
Angel made her way out of the dining room while Carly stood there wondering what Mr McDonell wanted to talk about.
