Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: The arrival of an unwanted hero.

David’s arrival was no coincidence, he had rushed over because he heard that Phoebe was in trouble. Just like Dickson, he had his one spy in the Mayfair house, the head maid Maria. He had previously requested her to keep watch on her because he was worried that Ophelia and Ruth could do something to harm her.

She had agreed to keep him in the loop about Phoebe’s affairs, and only that. She would not be sharing intel on the other Mayfair’s private lives.

Maria had kept to her words and informed him that Phoebe was in trouble as soon as Ruth suggested that her room be searched. Just as the matriarch had said, Ophelia was Ruth’s hands and feet in the house and right from the start, she had suspected that they were scheming something.

What David didn’t know was that Maria also had her reasons for accepting his offer. As soon as she heard Ophelia’s name, she decided to spy for him because she was fed up with the woman undermining her yet she was the head maid. They were both servants so what gave Ophelia the courage to act as if she was right below madam Jennie in status?

How could she dare to walk around barking orders and acting like the second madam of the house? All the servants hated Ophelia but with Ruth’s backing, she was untouchable, until Phoebe was brought back by Andre. Then, the tides started to change.

David looked at Ophelia that was crying on the ground and his smug Phoebe that looked like a cat which had just eaten a canary.

He moved, heading in Phoebe’s direction but Collin stepped in his way.

As always, Collin had that same constipated look on his face when his eyes met those of the most irritating Saxon to ever exist.

“Why the hell are you here Saxon? Of late you have been walking in and out of our house freely like you would a public bathroom.”

David ignored him, stepped to the side and breezed past him confidently because he was welcomed by grandma Mayfair eagerly. She had heard all about his brave deeds in Iborg city and how he had been willing to take a bullet for Phoebe.

“Mom, dad, grandma, good morning.” David greeted and also fist bumped Luke and Andre. His lips twisted into a smile when he looked at Phoebe.

[My charger! You couldn’t have come at a better time. I could use a boost, all this plotting has exhausted me.] She smiled sweetly at him.

He waved his hand at her, holding his gaze steady as he drunk in her beautiful sight. His shortie was really cute today.

Unhappy with the sweet romance drama worthy looks they were exchanging, Ruth quickly stepped forward blocking his view of Phoebe.

“David! Oh how nice it is that you are here. Something really terrible has happened.” She cried out and opened her arms wide, planning to embrace him.

David in turn poked her head with his right hand index finger and pushed her away.

“Keep your hands to yourself, i am very sure that whatever is going on here has something to do with you.”

Ruth pinched her lips in a firm line after David embarrassed her in font of everyone especially Phoebe. She turned her blazing guns towards Ophelia who was now sitted lazily on the floor.

“You! Why are you still here, leave already.” Ruth yelled as she folded her arms.

Ophelia walked on her knees to where David was standing. She held onto his trousers tightly as if for dear life.

“Mr. Saxon please help be beg the Mayfairs, if they give me a second chance I promise not to attempt something like this again. I will never be daring again, and will stay in my place as a maid.” Her pleading gaze darted around.

Phoebe moved to his side and bashfully told David what was happening. She reported it all to him as if he was the hero arrived to save the heroine.

It made the Mayfair men dissatisfied, if he was the hero, what were they?

On hearing everything, David was vexed by the fact that Ophelia had tried to frame Phoebe.Truly, the maid did not know her place.

“How dare you frame my woman for theft!! Do you think i am dead and useless?” He used his leg to kick her away from him as if she was a disgusting fly.

His venomous eyes moved to Ruth because he was certain that she was behind it all.

“She has been fired.” Phoebe grabbed on to his arm and shared.

He smiled, proud of Phoebe for getting Ophelia fired. She was Ruth’s right hand after all and getting her out of this mansion was a good move. However Ophelia was just a small fish, she needed to get rid of Ruth before she destroyed the Mayfairs.

The decisiveness with which he kicked Ophelia away shocked everyone however his words left them puzzled, David had just referred to Phoebe as his woman in front of them all. As there had been no official announcement of a relationship, wasn’t he being too bold?

Had he forgotten where he was and in whose presence he was? All the Mayfair men were displeased. One, was more displeased than others and he loudly expressed himself.

“Who the hell is your woman you good for nothing play boy!! I hope it’s not Phoebe that you are referring to? You stay away from him, your relationship is forbidden.” Collin pointed his finger at Phoebe and then cursed silently as he was late for work.

His secretary was calling for the tenth time that morning.

“Stay away from him Phoebe, i forbid this relationship, no sister of mine will date a Saxon.”

Ruth’s mouth produced a small gasp from the shock of Collin’s words. He had actually called Phoebe his sister, a sure sign of acceptance. He even seemed to care so much about the possibility of the two dating. Her greatest fears were truly coming to life.

David didn’t care about the warning and he gave his attention to Phoebe even more, patting her head gently.

An alarmed mother Jennie wanted to pull her daughter away from the eyesore that was touching her head in a way she had not got a chance to do yet.

“David, what is going on? Now that you know that Phoebe is the real heiress you have suddenly switched from Ruth to her?”

David’s face darkened and he scowled, he liked Jennie but she was really slow on the uptake. How many times, did he have to clarify his lack of interest in Ruth in order for her to stop lumping him together with her?

The confusion was quickly cleared by grandma Mayfair who cleared her voice.

“That’s not right Jennie, for the longest time David here has always told anyone that has an ear including you that he is not interested in Ruth. Anyway, about their dating life, the decision here is for Phoebe to make but she hasn’t told us what is going on between the two of them.”

The old woman hoped they got together, she had already discussed it with her friend. It would be wonderful to go from friends to in-laws, moreover, David was crazy about Phoebe.

It was a win-win for the families and all the people involved.

Everyone’s eyes moved to Phoebe who was pretending to be coy deliberately because she could see Ruth’s anger on her face, her throat was swollen like it was about to burst.

“Daughter, is there something that we should know?” Jennie poked Phoebe with her curious eyes.

Everyone else waited to hear what she would say, David inclusive. Was she going to deny or admit that there was something between them?
