Chapter 127
The fish were just weak. What did that have to do with him?
Madam Whitman couldn’t figure it out either: “How come every time you go to the traditional open-air wet market, all the living things start acting up?”
Lenny, with a bagel in his mouth, looked up.
Madam Whitman was changing his clothes: “Forget it, it’s just a few buckets of fish.”
Annelise raised an eyebrow, glancing at the crabs foaming at the mouth nearby: “Grandma, I’m afraid it’s more than just a few buckets of fish.”
Madam Whitman ‘s head started to ache. She pinched Lenny’s small, thin arm: “You, you!
Quick, hide. Don’t let your Grandma Burke see you.”
There was nowhere to hide. In just a few minutes, Grandma Burke was at the door.
“Where’s Lenny!”
Grandma Burke was plump, hands on her hips, looking very imposing.
Lenny wanted to peek out, but was casually held down by Annelise.
Lenny gestured: What if she bullies Grandma?
Annelise glanced at him: “They’re old best friends just bickering. What bullying? It gives Grandma something to do, a good distraction.”
Grandma Burke was yelling, “Madam Whitman, look, just look! It’s not that I’m being stingy, but all the seafood I just got in… this kid just stood there, and it’s all dead.”
Madam Whitman soothed her: “I know, I know. When you come for a massage this month, I’ll do yours first, no
charge.”
Grandma Burke muttered: “Actually, Annelise already paid me.”
Madam Whitman smiled: “Her paying is one thing, but I still have to apologize. This kid Lenny is reckless, it’s a good thing the neighbors don’t mind.”
When Lenny first arrived, he scared to death all the Old Hens (for broth) being raised in everyone’s yards.
This group of people never really gave them a hard time.
Grandma Burke glanced at the back room: “Can you really give me my massage early?

I heard from Auntie Zhang that your shop is super popular now. Wow, it’s going to be one of those, what do you call it, Instagrammable spots!”
“I’ll really do yours first.”
Madam Whitman said: “You need to be careful with your hands, moving all that seafood.”
Grandma Burke chuckled: “Annelise just went around the traditional open-air wet market and gave us all some herbal remedy. She was especially concerned about me. It’s just that my Zhixiong is a good-for-nothing, otherwise if An- nelise married into our family, we’d be even closer.”
Lenny shot his head up: She wants you to get married?!
Annelise said nonchalantly: “Grandma Burke is just saying that. What are you getting so worked up about?”
Lenny ‘s ears drooped: Oh…
But then Madam Whitman said: “I’ll tell you a secret, our Annelise actually has a boyfriend already.”
“She has a boyfriend?”
Grandma Burke was surprised: “Who is it?”
Madam Whitman chuckled happily: “That handsome young man who came to our house the other day.”
“Oh, him!”
Grandma Burke mused: “A match, a true match!
A talented man and a beautiful woman!”
Lenny looked at Annelise: Boyfriend?
Him?
Annelise patted the child’s head: “A white lie to make Grandma happy.”
Lenny gestured: He’s no good, dangerous!
Annelise found this interesting: “Why do you always dislike him so much?”
Lenny had a fierce look on his face: I don’t know, just a gut feeling!
Annelise pinched his cheek, pondering. Someone that Lenny, the Primordial Beast of Chaos, instinctively dislikes.
Then… that person must have immense luck and fortune. She had to cherish that.
Lenny didn’t know his resistance was having the opposite effect, and was still gesturing persistently.
Annelise, on the other hand, was swiping through her phone, and signed a contract with a streaming platform online.
The next day, at 9:30 AM, in Clearwater Lane, Annelise started her broadcast on time.
