Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Two baby toes.

“Does it matter why i came?” She quizzed.

After all the thinking she did, the smartest answer she could come up with was to ask a question of her own.

David folded his lips together and considered it for a short five seconds, he came to the realization that it did not matter why she had come, all that mattered was that she had come.

He tightened his hands around her waist and smiled. “I always thought i would need a bulldozer to get you in here, i never imagined that you would walk in on your own.

[Neither did I] Phoebe thought.

Her phone chosen that moment to ring and Phoebe picked up, when she saw the name of the caller, she slid a finger across the screen and answered lazily.

“Collin.”

Behind her, David’s eyebrows shot up, which Collin was she talking to, he wondered.

“Pheebs,” her brother responded without a hello just as she had done. “How mad is Shana’s mother, on a scale of one to ten.”

“Initially eight but by the time we bade her farewell i am certain that it was a weak three. Of course, we didn’t reveal the purpose of our little supermarket trip. Tell me big brother, were you in on it with mum? Is that why you got the new look?”

To her thinking, if he had a heads up, it explained everything easily.

“I was told to dress up nice, nothing much. As for the new look, i just needed something different, my body still feels contaminated after you know what. If i could change my skin, i would do it in a heartbeat.” he replied, earnestly.

Phoebe did not want to delve into the unmentionable incident again so she just raised a different question.

“Was Shana really injured?”

She brought the cup to her lips as she waited for a response.

“Yes.”

The contents of the cup did not get to enter her mouth. She had been certainly the spraining of the foot claim had been just that_a claim.

“You don’t say, is it because of mom?”

“No, no, oh God no!” Collin was quick to defend their mother. “Mom would never deliberately injure someone, Shana has a strained muscle from wearing high heels. It’s a good thing that i actually brought her to the hospital, it turns out she has been in pain all day but her mother had a long itinerary planned out for her for the day and she didn’t get a chance to see a doctor. In the end, i guess i am actually the hero that saved the beauty.” He laughed.

Phoebe leaned forward and set the cup down on the table, next to the base of an umbrella shaped table lamp.

“So, is there hope?” she asked.

Collin laughed, again, sounding a lot happier than he had been since the incident.

“Fingers crossed, wish me luck baby sister.”

Phoebe rolled her eyes at the baby part by her lips moved up in a big smile. “Alright, good luck. Tell me if you need a charm or amulet to smooth things along. Bye.”

She vaguely heard him say goodbye as she hung up, still with a happy smile on her face.

“What’s making you so happy?” David turned her head and bent down to look at her closely.

“My brother might be lucky in love this time round. I don’t know who told my mother about Shana Lee but they did our Mayfair family a favor. I could be getting a good sister-in-law soon.”

“Hmm, the Lee family.” David said slowly, like he was thinking deeply.

Phoebe nodded.

“So, you sell love amulets too.” he mentioned. “You should give me one as well, i have this firecracker of a woman that has only one toe into our relationship and yet i have both feet in. I am uneasy, worried that wise ass with nice golden colored hair will steal her from me.”

She snorted in response and rolled her eyes.

“It’s not even a big toe, she has only a baby toe into the relationship. She is such a cruel woman, a cruel, cruel woman.” he lamented, playfully.

She detected the humor in his voice and again, rolled her eyes in response. “I am in your house, in your arms and we kissed just a while ago, i think it’s two baby toes.”

“Yes!” David celebrated loudly.

She pulled the hand which was in the middle of celebration down. “What are you so happy about?”

“Two baby toes is progress, there was a time when you wanted nothing to do with me at all. I have got to say that i don’t miss those days. You tossed my flowers into the garbage, now, you allow them to sit on the tables in the cafe. Soon, they will be in that empty vase on the coffee table in your living room.”

She sneered playfully. “You are getting way ahead of yourself Mr. two baby toes.”

“Hey, i have to celebrate all of our new milestones.” He wrapped his hands around her waist again and tightened the hold, lowering his head and resting it on the back of her neck with his chin.

His hot breath skirted across the skin of her upper neck slowly, evoking a little ticklish sensation within her.

“Do you want to talk about it Pheebs?”

“About what?”

She turned her head but she couldn’t see his face, only some strands of his white hair.

“About the past, about us, when we were married.” he elaborated.

David had been thinking about it long and hard and he realized that the past would keep them stuck if they did not deal with it. He did not want to open his eyes in the future and suddenly find that they had gone back to square one because of misunderstandings and unresolved issues.

Phoebe’s body went stiff and briefly, her breath caught in her throat. She exhaled and laughed nervously. “What are you talking about..what past and what marriage?”
