Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Kidnapping a daughter-in-law.

Neither Phoebe, nor Collin could believe what they were witnessing. It was stunning to see how their mother could tell an impeccable lie with a straight face.

What slippery hands? What coincidence? It was obviously a carefully calculated move to get her hands on Shana Lee. The way she had just snatched Shana away from her mother Annabelle, you would think she was the actual mother and Annabelle the kidnapper.

They were not the only ones to be stunned, even Annabelle was the same. For one, she had never had any interactions with Jennie Mayfair, not personal intimate ones anyway and two, why had she just grabbed her daughter and why was she imprisoning her at her side?

Mrs. Annabelle Lee, a normally soft hearted woman with a kind nature drew her thin eyebrows together in a frown and reached her hand out to retrieve her daughter. She could not help the suspicion arising in her mind.

[Holy shit!! we are not shopping at all, we are kidnapping another family’s daughter.] Phoebe’s mouth dropped open.

Before she could take her daughter back, Jennie spread both of her hands out, a move that suddenly shoved Shana lightly. She stumbled back two steps and Collin who was somehow at the right place and standing in the right position caught her.

Phoebe’s eyes widened and she gasped, she could have sworn that all of this was happening in slow motion and she was at the live shooting of a romance movie.

It became even more entertaining when Collin tightened his hands around Shana’s waist and Shana blushed red like ketchup. She looked so innocent and shy, in the arms of the big bad wolf.

[Wow!!!!! i should not be watching this, nooo, i need to watch.]

Phoebe squealed and almost laughed out loud, struggling to contain her excitement. The ghosts sensed her excitement and they too came rushing out of the space to witness this hero saves the damsel scene.

“Are you okay?” Collin asked Shana.

Shana blushed again and looked down, nodding. “Yes.”

Her voice was soft and adorable, Phoebe could not help the ‘awwwww’ sounds which spilled out of her mouth. It was hard not to find Shana Lee adorable, with her dark hair, big eyes and innocent face together with an air of purity.

One worried mama was watching this scene with an unhappy face, Collin Mayfair was not exactly known for his softness. He was also a well known sis con and part time rogue. She would not allow her innocent daughter to fall into his clutches.

This scene of them standing close with one of his large hands on her waist was worrisome enough, if the wrong person with a loose mouth saw them, it would become a new topic at the dining tables of every founding family.

If there was one thing they loved more than a ball, a charity fundraiser, dirt from another household and downfall of another family, it was who was dating who. Not just dating but even other things like hand holding, kissing, a pinch on the cheek, a smile and other ridiculous details. They needed to know such information as if it was daily bread.

If one wrong person saw them, people would be taking bets on whether the Mayfair and Lee families were to be joined in marriage. Such rumors would ruin her Shana’s carefully built reputation.

“Shana…” Annabelle called out sternly.

She took two steps in the direction of her daughter and Collin but Jennie grabbed her and held on to her.

“Annie, my good friend, Shana is not okay. My hands slipped again and i accidentally sent her flying into my wonderful son’s arms. Thank God he is strong and capable enough that he caught and protected her. If she had hit her head on one of the aisles what would we do?”

Jennie’s carefully calculated words did not make Annabelle comfortable. Instead, she struggled to be released from what was a surprisingly, strong hold.

“Collin, take Shana to the hospital right now, i think she sprained her ankle.” Jennie ordered.

“Huh!” Phoebe and the ghosts exclaimed.

Which ankle was sprained? Those two steps Shana had taken back could not even hurt a fly.

“Yes mom.” Collin answered without hesitation.

Suddenly, without hesitation, he lifted Shana off her feet and run away from them as if Annabelle would break free and chase after him.

[Wow!! Oh my God, we truly came to kidnap a bride. Mom, we are not living in the old centuries where brides were kidnapped. We could get reported for kidnapping…but this is so wrong but also funny.]

Phoebe turned her face and leaned into the tissues which were lined up carefully in the aisle, and she laughed.

The expressions on Shana and Annabelle’s faces when the kidnapping happened would never be erased from her mind.

“What are you doing? You hooligans, rogues, rakes, return my daughter to me you Mayfairs.” Annabelle shouted.

“And i thought your family was boring.” The Saxon spirit laughed and returned to the space.

Connie was starry eyed, “Sister, i didn’t know Collin was so strong. I want to be carried like that and….”

The Saxon spirit came out of the space and pinched her ear.

“You brat! how old are you to be talking about being carried like that by a man? Instead of watching silly romance movies all day, you should be reading more books.”

“Let me go you old witch, i don’t want to read those stupid books. I am a ghost, am i going to take ghost exams? You are bullying me.” Connie struggled.

Her struggle was futile as the spirit dragged her back into the space.

“I will mediate.” Sylvester assured Phoebe and he vanished.

Jennie saw that Collin had vanished from their sight and she let go of Annabelle’s hands. Annabelle gave Jennie a look that promised to rain fire and hailstorms down on Jennie.

“Sister Annie, your daughter is injured and it’s my fault. You have to allow me take care of her as best as i can. Don’t worry, i trust my son and he will be nothing but a gentleman. Phoebe am i right, Collin is a gentleman, right?” Jennie looked at Phoebe.

Phoebe raised her head and she smiled. “Yes, my brother is the best.”

Annabelle rolled her eyes and tapped her right foot down impatiently at the same time. These two were mother and daughter, of course they were going to defend Collin, he was one of them.

“Annie….” Jennie started.

Annabelle scoffed. “When did we become close to the extent of you calling me Annie?”

Jennie latched onto Annabelle’s arm shamelessly. “What are you talking about, we stood next to each other thirty two years ago at the founders memorial ball. I remember that you were wearing a very pretty green bow in your hair and i bought one the very next day.

Ooh, speaking of things we have in common, your family raised a cuckoo just like us and those cuckoos turned on us.”

Annabelle’s eyes lit up and she forgot her kidnapped daughter for a moment. Just like others, she too loved to know that happenings in the houses of the others and the Mayfair cuckoo had been one of the best kept secrets in their society.

Jennie smiled slyly and winked at Phoebe as they pushed their shopping carts, walking side by side in a sudden newly sprouted friendship.
