Chapter 104

Annelise looked at the old-fashioned little notebook and said, “Grandma, I have money.”

“You used to, but now you’ve been kicked out, and that family even canceled your credit cards.”

Her grandma stroked her long hair. “You’re just trying to make your grandma happy.”

Annelise’s smile didn’t fade. “Grandma, I…”

Before Annelise could explain, the old woman’s Jitterbug phone started ringing, shrill and piercing.

The old woman glanced at the caller ID, the warmth in her eyes clearly gone. She started to get up, wanting to take the call away from the kids.

Annelise was sharp. “Is it Gloria?”

Seeing she couldn’t hide it, the old woman simply nodded.

Annelise gave a faint smile. “Grandma, answer it. Lenny and I are grown up now. Whatever it is, we’ll face it with you.”

Hearing her granddaughter say that, the old woman’s heart warmed. She suddenly found the strength and answered the call she’d been dreading.

The mocking tone made the old woman’s fingers clench so tightly they turned red. “You’re well off, you don’t need my little residence. Don’t call me again, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

“Oh, Mom, if you’ve really got the guts, then show me. How exactly are you going to be rude?”

Gloria scoffed. “That tiny, rundown massage shop of yours? You think it can actually become popular or something?”

“Then we’ll see.”

Abruptly, the voice on the other end of the line changed. It was cool, light, and wasted no words.
