Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Not a date.
“Dear diary, his eyes, looking into them is like gazing at the stars. Oh what’s my poor shaman heart to do? I just can’t look away. No man has ever been as perfect as him EMHO.”

Phoebe was feeling slightly vexed and she was seriously considering kicking David in the ankles. He had not stopped his dear diary jokes on the car ride, helicopter ride and now they were walking through Gundam forest and he was still going.

With the way he was describing himself, she was not sure if he was joking or simply being a big old narcissist praising his own physical appearance.

“What’s EMHO?”

“Eating my heart out.”

Phoebe stopped walking, she turned and stared at him, her eyes filled with confusion. First of all, if she had a diary, nothing he had just said would make it onto any of the pages and two, who the hell used ‘eating my heart out’ in abbreviation form, especially because it made no sense in relation to what he had just said.

“Do you even know what that means?”

Proudly, he nodded. “It means you are so excited that you cannot control your heart.”

“No it doesn’t.”

“Yes it does.” he insisted.

“Who told you that?” she quizzed, a little louder than she intended.

Behind them, the five bodyguards including Roman that had come along because Gundam forest had some dangerous animals could not believe the ridiculousness happening. Who was this man and what had he done with the real David Saxon?

Roman cleared his throat but Polly stopped him. “Let it be, trust me, we have seen worse.”

They had witnessed the boss digging while his girlfriend relaxed and commanded him with ease. In the hierarchy of the relationship, Phoebe was the boss.

“Polly, what does EMHO mean?” David bellowed.

The bodyguard froze like a stunned gorilla and backed away. He was not getting on the bad side of Phoebe, he didn’t want to be cursed by the shaman. He pushed Roman to the front to take the fall on his behalf.

Roman shrugged Polly’s hand away. “You big coward, what’s your size for if that tiny five foot one tall woman scares you?”

“It’s more five foot zero inches.” Robb, another of David’s personal bodyguards whispered.

“I say four feet nine inches.” another chimed in.

Phoebe had them discussing her height and she glared at them briefly.

“Hmph!” she huffed and resumed the walk, taking a familiar path that she had walked twice before.

It was not her first rare herb hunting trip and just like on other trips, she met people along the way. Normally she would stop and greet but with all the bodyguards following them, not a single person paused to say hi. In fact, they all went out of their way to avoid the group.

“Do they think we have come into the forest to bury a body?” Phoebe mumbled.

David took her hand. “You have said hello to ten ghosts since we stepped into the forest, if i was not your very loving boyfriend on a date with you right now, i would….”

“We are not on date and i have met more than ten ghosts in this forest, two of them are following us. They are next to Polly.” She increased her voice. “One of them is a virgin ghost looking for a man.”

Polly squealed in a girlish way and jumped back, not alone in the fright, even Robb followed him.

“Wusses.” Roman muttered.

Wholly satisfied, Phoebe giggled, who said shorties could not take revenge?

David opened a bottle of water and handed it to her. “Drink.”

She took it from him, took one sip and handed it back to him.

“Are your men married?” she asked, out of the blue.

David had no idea why she was asking but he assumed she was still going on with the virgin ghost joke.

“Pheebs, stop scaring the gullible humans.”

David misunderstood her, Phoebe was not asking about their marital status with the intention of scaring them, she simply wanted to find a nice boyfriend for Rosette. They were strong healthy men with a job that payed well and they were not bad looking in the facial department. Of course, they were not as good looking as David.

[No man is truly as good looking as David.] she looked at the side of his face and sighed.

David chuckled. “I like this date.”

“It is not a date.” Phoebe corrected. It was work, they were here to help her find herbs or protect her while she searched for them.

“Boss, watch out.” Roman yelled.He pulled out a gun and fired.

David shoved Phoebe behind his tall frame and pulled out his gun as well, eager to take down the threat which had already been neutralized. Roman’s single shot had taken down a down a big warthog.

David sighed in relief and put the gun away.

“Wow, nice shooting.” Phoebe gave Roman a thumbs up.

She stepped out from behind David and looked at the warthog. “Too bad it’s not a wild boar, we could have eaten some tenderloin or ribs after Luther’s funeral.”

As the men moved the body of the warthog from the walking trail, David was looking at Phoebe with wonder. He thought she would fall apart after hearing the news about Luther’s death, it was the major reason why he had sought her out today. His intention had been to distract her all day. She seemed to be doing okay however considering everything.

“Polly, call Everest and tell him to prepare some pork ribs.” David ordered.

“And some roasted corn.” Phoebe added.

Polly dialled the number but Phoebe was not done making her dinner order. “Masala chips too, and a nice salad plus some onion rings.”

“You don’t like onion rings.” David reminded her.

“But you do.” she answered nonchalantly.

David grinned like a fool, excited that she still remembered something as unimportant as that. A part of him strongly wanted to dance for joy but he remained composed, not wanting to scare her.

“And she says we are not on a date.” he mumbled. They were making dinner plans so how was this not a date? It was like a movie broken down into two parts, this was part one of the date and after Luther’s funeral, they could have part two.

Phoebe saw something that made her curious and she walked over to some camellia trees. “Look David, it’s Thea Sinensis trees, ten of them. They should not be in the Gundam forest, i wonder if someone imported and planted them for research.”

She lowered her upper body and sniffed one of the plants. The smell was just right so she looked around like a thief and then stole some of the leaves.

“It’s a free forest, i am not stealing.” she whispered to herself.

She turned and gestured for them to keep going after robbing half of the leaves on each tree. As they were walking away, the Saxon spirit dashed out of the space and directly uprooted five of the trees and took them into the space.

“It’s a free forest, we are not stealing.” It declared.
