Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Jealous of oneself.

“I cannot believe that you had to live with those monsters all those years, they are despicable beings but thank God we don’t have to deal with them anymore.” Luke finally said something and he hugged his Phoebe.

Out of everyone in the living room, he was the one that had been silent the most. It did not mean that he was not filled with rage. Even though the Gabriel’s had left, he would find a way to make them pay the price.

For a while, they all huffed and puffed, cursing the Gabriels and comforting Phoebe until their tempers came down and one by one, they left for work at Phoebe’s insistence.

Phoebe and grandma Mayfair also said there goodbyes and headed to the cafe. On getting there, David was already inside and hard at work. He had on a red apron tied around his waist and was helping to serve the customers.

[What is this? What is he doing here?]

Phoebe was really puzzled on seeing him. He was not her employee after all.

“This Saxon boy is starting to grow on me.” Grandma chuckled before going to the kitchen.

Phoebe greeted everyone David inclusive and she entered her office. Rossett briefed her on everything that happened during her absence, there was nothing out of the ordinary it was business as usual.

“Evelyn passed by and dropped off an envelope.” Rosette followed her inside and pointed to the medium sized blue envelope on the desk.

She noticed that Phoebe, grandma Mayfair and the Saxon spirit were in a jolly mood. Before she could ask why, David walked in so Rosset excused herself.

With a wide grin on his face, David sat in a chair opposite hers. “Did you like the gift that I sent you?” He asked.

Phoebe scanned her memory, she couldn’t remember receiving a gift from David recently, perhaps she left home without Oman delivering it to her or it had been misplaced.

“What gift? I haven’t received it just yet but you should not be giving me any gifts. Save your money, you told me the other day that you started a company. As a business woman, i can reliably share with you the fact that every coin counts, especially in the beginning. It took me three months to stabilize my business here.

If i relied on only reading marriage fates and selling lucky charms, i would have been forced to close a long time ago. That’s why i turned this shop into a cafe and take on side jobs like cleansing out haunted houses, helping the police, finding missing people, digging for treasures and the like.”

Most ghosts could not pay money, she had to find ways to make the money on her own. David was just stepping out of the shadow of his family, it would not be bad to guide him, he was her charger after all. If he was healthy and wealthy, it was good for her.

[But, how can give up the Saxon throne so easily? How will he make money now? What kind of business can he do? Should i make a list of all the…..no..i promised myself not to help him like a horse until i am exhausted. That was stupid Phoebe, wise Phoebe can offer pointers.]

David stretched his hand and touched the tip of Phoebe’s nose, she didn’t pull away for she needed to recharge.

“Don’t worry about me.” He pulled his hand back and she sighed, feeling pained.

[He can touch a little longer, why is he in a hurry to take his hand away. I can’t ask him to bring it back because i will look like a fickle woman. Aah….it’s so hard being cool Phoebe.]

David chuckled and moved closer to her, taking advantage of a rare moment in their relationship to caress her cheek.

Like a silly kitten, she moved her head slowly, soaking in his energy with a shy smile on her face.

[That’s it, that’s it…now this is more like it. It feels so warm and good.]

David’s hand slipped to her neck and his head moved on its own, carrying him closer to her face. She had her eyes closed, making those facial expressions as if she was experiencing great pleasure.

David had no idea what charging was but he actually felt a stirring of jealousy in his heart. It did not even make sense for him to be jealous of himself.

He sighed and pulled his face away. It was not the time for such thoughts.

“The gift i sent you is the Gabriel’s. I sent them to your house. “Did you like it?

Phoebe pulled away in shock, good enough she had charged up, receiving at least a twenty days worth of life.

“Wait what? Was that your doing, where did you even find them? My father searched everywhere and he couldn’t find them.”

David moved back to the chair opposite and crossed his right leg over the left one.

“Maybe your father was not as desperate as I was to find them. I kept them for a while and figured they would make an appearance at the right time When i heard about your grandmother’s poisoning, i figured it was the right time.”

David didn’t say much about his men interrogating them about who Ruth was working with and how they treated her in the past. He would only let Phoebe know after he found out who it was.

“So you just happened to find them and ordered them to come to my family house?” She asked only for him to nod.

“Just like that?” Phoebe asked again and he nodded again.

It was odd, the Aaron she knew would never just go willingly to the Mayfair house and demand to take Ruth with him something must have pushed him. He was not telling her the whole story.

“Start talking David.” She looked at him suspiciously.

David realized that Phoebe wasn’t going to let go of the issue until he gave her a convincing story.

“Some of my people found them right before they crossed the border and I kept them somewhere. During that time I persuaded them to come and take back their daughter which they agreed to do because they love her.”

“Persuade ha?” Phoebe’s narrowed gaze focused on him and she snorted.

“Ha-ha, did they look harmed in any way when you saw them? In as much as I wanted to remove their eyes for abusing you I was nice to them. But just so they fulfilled their end of the deal, i hosted their son so they had no choice but to oblige.”

David’s story was now more convincing. The Gabriels loved Nicholas so they must gone to the Mayfair house obediently just to save him.

“What do you mean by hosting him exactly? Is it like a kidnapping?” Phoebe asked.

“No! My God! I am not a mafia Pheebs.” He tugged on his ear. David denied vehemently. “I talked to the boy and asked him what he wanted to do with his life. He said that he wanted to be a computer engineer so I sent him abroad to Eagle institute of technology. All expenses paid, he will contact his parents after he settles in.”

He smiled a little slyly, there were many ways to kidnap a person, a basement and chains was just one. Nicholas Gabriel could still be used in many ways.
