Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Temptations of owning a hot charger.

One hour later, Jennie and Phoebe bid Annabelle goodbye after treating her to some tea and cookies in the cafe inside the supermarket.

Jennie had succeeded in making Annabelle a friend and they had made plans to go golfing together tomorrow.

As they were waiting for the driver to bring the car over and take them back home, Phoebe could not stop thinking about the method her mother had applied. Why had she schemed rather than approach Annabelle and broach the subject of bringing their two children together through a blind date perhaps?

“You must be wondering why i acted in there, right?” Jennie asked.

Phoebe turned her head and nodded, with a gentle smile on her face.

Jennie let out a dramatic exhausted sigh, all that acting had been out of character for her but she had enjoyed it. “The Lee family is a scholarly one, never have i ever heard a scandal from their house, not until the Cuckoo case. They care about their image extremely so they raise their daughters with care like ancient royal families used to do.

They train them in arts like piano, drawing, calligraphy, painting, chess, violin, art and design. Every woman from the Lee family or one who marries in must be a virgin. Purity is very important to them, heck, they are obsessed with it. With their standards of raising daughters, it is no mistake that most of their daughters grow up to become women to look up to in society.”

“Tch!” Phoebe scoffed.

“I know, i know, it’s ridiculous but that’s their way of doing things, every founding family has theirs. You obviously saw the look of disapproval on your grandmother’s face when that Kelly brought herself over and introduced herself as Collin’s girlfriend. In our family, it is the elders of one or both families that make the introductions if you are ready for marriage. A woman cannot just come over the way Kelly did and make herself comfortable, it supposedly shows bad character, shamelessness.”

“Wow! how complicated.” Phoebe muttered.

She shuffled from one foot to another, looking up at the grey sky that was showing signs of rain.

Jennie smiled to herself as she came down to the explanation of why she had acted the way she did. “Shana Lee is an academic, smart and accomplished, about to become the youngest female professor at the Victorious university law school. She is a prize in the Lee family, guarded like a fragile golden egg.

I looked into it yesterday and apparently her family has already received six marriage proposals which are being weighed. In order to help your brother who is late to the party, i must be cunning and ruthless.

Such a good daughter-in-law, how can i let her end up in another family? I can only do so much however, the rest is up to your brother. If he misses her….” She sighed.

If Collin missed Shana, they would have to ask Phoebe to find another good wife for him. Jennie hoped that Collin was wise enough to utilize the opportunity she had bought him to make a good impression.

“Don’t worry mom, did you see how she was blushing? It indicates some modicum of interest from Shana. My brother will charm her within a day and we will have a wedding in three to four months maximum.” Phoebe assured her.

Jennie’s lips beamed with a smile, excited by the possibility of finally marrying off one son. How joyous would it be!

“I am a shaman, aren’t i?” Phoebe asked.

Jennie nodded, she clenched her fist and nodded again. Her daughter had extraordinary abilities, if she said it would happen, she had to believe it.

The car arrived but Phoebe did not get in, only Jennie did.

“Mom, i have to go and see a friend.”

“Okay, be careful on the road, remember to eat and watch out for your safety.” Jennie gave her reminders.

When she left, Phoebe hailed a taxi and set off in the opposite direction.

***************

David was in his apartment, sweating massively after an intense gym session. The last thing he expected was to receive a guest just when he was wiping his body with a towel.

The news of the arrival of the guest was shared by his personal butler, George, a stoic faced man in his mid fifties sent over by his grandmother to assist him since he was not living in the Saxon tower anymore.

David was reluctant to exit the home gym, until the butler mentioned the name of the guest. As soon as he heard it, he stumbled out of the gym, narrowly escaping the fate of tripping over a misplaced exercise ball.

“Phoebe!” he exclaimed.

It was not a lie, she was there in living room looking at the books on the wooden shelf on the large living room wall.

His feet could not stop themselves and he approached her.

“Phoebe.” he turned her around.

When she looked at him, the smile on her face faded and her lips formed a small pout. She trailed her eyes over his bare broad chest that was glistening with sweat which was running down to his perfectly crafted abs.

Phoebe was not a lustful person but it was hard to divert her eyes from the free visual service being offered.

[Damn it! this bastard charger is still as hot as ever, i should touch a little bit, just a little. Hmmmmmmm…..No, no, i should look away and avoid temptation. Phoebe falling for beauty is what got you into trouble in your last life, be firmer and smarter. Okay just one more peak, just one more…and maybe a poke. No, no, no…Damn it Phoebe! snap out of it.]

She was thinking so hard that she did not notice one of her fingers dancing around, facing the direction of his chest.

David chuckled, “You can touch if you want, it all belongs to you anyway.”

Phoebe was mortified on hearing his words and she turned around.

[Who wants to touch you? Hmph!]

David chuckled again, he grabbed her hand suddenly and slammed it on his chest, right over his heart. Phoebe gasped and pulled it back but he would not let go.

“What are you doing?” She questioned him.

“I am using my beauty to my advantage, giving you what you desire.” He guided her hand down slowly, seducing her with a naughty spark in his eyes. He stopped the movement when both hands reached his navel, anymore and it would become dangerous.

It was not his intention to tease her but the opportunity was too good to pass up and that wide eyed scandalized look in her eyes was quite hilarious.

Mild laughter escaped his mouth and Phoebe blushed a fierce red.

“What, should i keep going? I cannot guarantee what you will touch next however won’t scare you.” He leaned down slowly as if he was about to kiss her, but he didn’t.

His hot breath landed on her cheek before his head turned and he brushed his lips on the tip of her right ear. “It is not as flat as my abs.”

Phoebe leaned back, gasped again and struggled, pulling her hand away while trying her best not to look down. David Saxon was really shameless, what kind of things was he saying when his butler was around?

“Rogue!!” she cried out softly.”Let go of me.”
