Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: The worries of a mother and son.

Edward and old lady Mayfair had been trading glances as they eavesdropped the conversation. Initially they were taken back when she proposed, a thing which the old fashioned lady Mayfair did not approve of but if it was Collin’s choice, she planned to respect it.

However, when they heard about Kelly’s unfaithfulness, they were miffed. The old lady wanted to come out of hiding and throw Kelly out but Edward stopped her.

Luckily, he stopped her in time or they would not have been able to overhear the concerning remarks she raised about the relationship between Collin and Ruth.

As soon as Collin left, they came of hiding, each with a worried expression on the face.

“Mother, did you hear that? It can’t really be that….can it?” Edward expressed his concern about the matter.

“Well that young woman is not totally wrong, the closeness between those two is very worrisome especially now that they are not real siblings. Maybe i am over thinking things but….” Grandma Mayfair rubbed her chin.

She didn’t need to say more, he understood exactly what she meant.

“No you are not wrong mother, let’s watch them for now to prevent any accidents. I am going to order someone in the house to keep a keen eye on Ruth. Additionally, i am going to investigate her financial records, if she really did those horrible things then i won’t have a choice but to kick her out, Jennie will have to bear with it.” Edward sighed deeply.

The two walked back inside, coinciding with Phoebe’s return to the house. She was welcomed back by both parents with great enthusiasm as if she was just returning from a war and not a person that had slept out for only one night.

“Your brother’s girlfriend was here.” Jennie eagerly shared with her while pulling her down to have a sit.

Phoebe looked at Collin who was sitting in the opposite single chair with his legs crossed, pretentiously perusing through a newspaper.

[Tsk, tsk, he really refused to listen to my advise. He must love being cuckolded so much, anyway, its his grave. In two weeks, he will reap what he has sewn.]

Collin was peeking at her from behind the newspaper and he saw her thoughts on the matter.

He scoffed, cleared his throat and announced, “We have broken up.”

Jennie’s face turned grim at the news which she perceived as bad. Only was son was dating seriously and he had broken up with his girlfriend.

“Why?” she cried out. “How can you lose such a good girl? Go and get her back for me…”

Phoebe drew her back by tagging on her arm. “Mom, forget it, she is not as good as she acts.”

[In two weeks, pictures of her in a cat costume riding an old man that could be her father will be spread on social media. His wife will beat her black and blue, her reputation will be ruined and she will go into hiding for the rest of her life.]

Jennie gasped and covered her mouth while Collin’s jaw dropped. Cat costume!! how did Phoebe know the exact details of the private affair? Had she seen the pictures or did she know who was going to leak them?

“Break it off cleanly, make sure she does not return to this house. Block her so that she doesn’t contact you anymore.” Suddenly Jennie was fired up and delivering commands to Collin fiercely. “Collin Mayfair, if i dare find out that you have even crossed her path i will be merciless. I do not approve of your relationship, even if you kneel down and threaten to end your lives unless i approve, i will never allow it.”

“Yes mother.” Collin obediently answered.

Jennie sent him one last warning glare and then her doting eyes moved to Phoebe.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Naturally, Phoebe pouted and shook her head. Jennie immediately gave commands for her precious daughter to be fed.

“Mom, i don’t see Ruth. Did she go out?”

Old lady Mayfair scowled deeply, showing her disdain for Ruth. “Ha! don’t mention that name here, she is at the hospital just like always, faking another illness. She got into an accident and the doctor called us as if she was on her death bed. On reaching there, she had no scratch mark on her body but she was crying and acting fragile as always.”

“She was probably displeased because we declared Phoebe’s true identity to everyone at the state funeral.” Andre suggested.

When Phoebe looked around, everyone was accounted for. Whether the accident was real or not, Ruth was the girl that had cried wolf too many times and nobody believed her anymore. Her days in the Mayfair family were numbered.

Maria came over with a big smiled and brought breakfast for Phoebe.

“Miss Phoebe, i prepared raspberry waffles for you because you mentioned craving some a few days ago. If you like them, tell me and i will make as many as you like.”

Phoebe smiled with gratitude at the maid and nodded.

“I have never seen Maria so happy to serve breakfast.” Andre commented.

“It’s because your sister is special and likeable.” Jennie was filled with praise for Phoebe.

“I have a present for every one except mother.” Phoebe announced as she placed a parcel on the coffee table. before digging into her breakfast.

Andre jumped and picked it up quickly as if it was about to be snatched away, eliciting laughter from the group.

Inside were small jewelry boxes with a tag that had everyone’s name.

Everyone opened theirs, Jennie was the most inquisitive of what was inside because she didn’t get one.

Grandma Mayfair got a ring just like Jennie’s and the men got a gold pendant necklace with the Mayfair emblem which was a butterfly with an ‘M’ in the middle. Around the edges of the round head of the pendant were embedded crystals which were the aura stones just like the ones in the rings. The backs had special rune carvings.

“It’s talismans, make sure you have them on you at all times.” Phoebe reminded reminded them.

“Well since I got mine first, I guess i am her favorite.” Jennie waved her fingers.

“That’s not true, I have a secret bond with her it’s a secret though. Thank you daughter.” He put the pendant around his neck.

Edward was referring to the ability to read her thoughts but he was not the only one that thought they had a special bond for that special reason..

“I have the most special bond.” Andre declared.

“No. it’s me.” Grandma Mayfair declared proudly.

Luke just snorted while Collin was too embarrassed to fight for favor. His sister had given him a gift even though he had not given her a single thing and always been unkind to her.

He had wasted all of his love and support on Ruth, what a shame!
