Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 305

Chapter 305: Deep talk on the past…2

David winced and touched his cheek, his wide unbelieving eyes steadily held on Phoebe. He saw rage in her eyes, a storm that she was going to unleash on him.

“Babe..” he called her in an unsure voice.

“You thought i aborted our child!” Phoebe snarled in a deep angry voice. “I used to think that you were brilliant but I was wrong, you…” she growled like a wounded animal. “I cannot even look at you.”

David grabbed her hands, “I am sorry, I was wrong.”

“Too little too late,” she wrenched her hands from his hold. “I cannot believe this, do you know how hard it was for me after I had a miscarriage? I had not told anyone about the pregnancy so I mourned the loss of the child alone, not wanting to burden you but you on the other hand thought that I walked into an abortion clinic and terminated our child. I can’t …”

The car came to a stop in front of the cafe and the doors slid open. Phoebe marched out in anger, forgetting to take her bag and phone.

David picked them up and run after her, calling her name loudly as they both entered the cafe. She ignored him and furiously walked all the way to her office.

“Phoebe, David….” grandma Mayfair called out.

She had been refilling a customer’s cup of coffee when Phoebe marched in and David followed. Phoebe appeared to be angry and David looked desperate.

The old woman wondered if it had anything to do with the Humphrey case, had they discovered something even worse at the Whitlock ranch? She wanted to know more but at the same time, did not.

She had listened to enough evil lately to last her at least a year.

David followed Phoebe inside and locked the door.

“Babe…”

“Oh don’t babe me.” She picked up the client book sitting on the table and hurled it at him.

He ducked down, the book fell to the floor with a thud.

“You dare to dodge?” Phoebe questioned.

David blinked and he sighed, he was carrying around a lot of guilt and he was willing to do anything to atone. Like an obedient child, he picked up the book and handed it to her. Then, he returned to where he had been standing across from her on the other side of the table.

“Babe, throw it again, I promise not to avoid it this time.” he said softly.

Phoebe picked up the book and raised it as if she was going to throw it at him. David flinched but he did not move an inch.

The book did not hit him, it landed on the desk with a loud bang.

“I can’t even beat you up.” She muttered.

A large part of David was relieved, this was a sign that it was not all bad and he was not in the dog house.

America popped into the office suddenly, uninvited. “Hey guys…..” she waved and laughed. “So, I have been told that you might be in need of my services.”

“Get out!” Phoebe screamed.

“Okay.” America vanished quickly.

She went into the space where she and the children, Humphrey’s victims were spending time with the permission of the Saxon spirit.

“Yeah…I would not advise you to get between them now.” She told the Saxon spirit which was nervously hovering in the air.

The spirit was worried about the consequences of this conversation, the direction it took would make or break the couple.

The ghosts were watching the fight or confession from the space as if they were viewing a movie.

“He should not have mentioned anything to do with children.” Connie said.

The girl was enjoying her expensive chocolates as much as she was enjoying the fight. She had been the most excited when Phoebe hurled the book at David’s head.

“You are wrong, children are the most important part of this conversation between them because it’s Phoebe’s trigger. The only way she will accept him fully is if she can get past the fact that his actions played a role in their bad ending.” America replied.

The Saxon spirit floated down and sat between Connie and America by the lake.

“I hate to be that guy but she was wrong too because she kept secrets, no marriage cam hold if two people are keeping secrets.” Sylvester said.

All three females turned their heads to him.

“She did not tell him about her first pregnancy or the miscarriage, he heard about it from Ruth and she brought pictures of Phoebe going into an abortion clinic. Put yourselves in his shoes, wouldn’t you have questions and doubts about Phoebe’s motives?”

He believed that he was the only one seeing the issues of the couples with a clear head, everyone else had picked sides.

The Saxon spirit was obviously on team David, Connie was team Phoebe and America was undecided. She kept going back and forth, forgetting that she was a psychologist and supposed to be neutral.

“In that case he should have gone to her and asked the question directly, not sneaked around with that fox bitch Ruth, doing DNA tests on the sons.” Connie argued.

Oddly enough, Phoebe was making that same argument, using Connie’s exact words with the exception of the words fox bitch.

“Pheebs, she brought medical records with your signature…” David answered in a weak voice.

Phoebe sunk into her chair, weak and more than exhausted from everything that had happened and this news which was unexpected.

Ruth had really played her like a fiddle…not just her but both of them. Her mind traveled back to that day, Ruth was the one that had an abortion and all she had done was escort her to the clinic.

Phoebe had signed documents for Ruth as the family member willing to take responsibility if something went wrong during the surgery.

She had no idea that she had been setting herself up, playing into Ruth’s schemes.On that day, she had drunk juice which Ruth had given her and she had a stomach ache that was followed by bleeding.

While Ruth was having a procedure, she also had a miscarriage and ended up being treated in the clinic. Who could have known that it would have been re-arranged and turned into an abortion?

It had happened in the first year of her marriage with David. This proved that Ruth had been scheming against them for so long and they never knew.

Phoebe had long had doubts about Ruth and the role she played in the loss of her first child, she just didn’t think David knew about it.

She also didn’t expect Ruth to use it as a means to drive a wedge between them.

“She told me that you aborted my child but chose to have Dickson’s children. It killed me Pheebs, it really did kill me inside, slowly by slowly, one day at time until I couldn’t take it anymore. I thought I was setting you free when i asked for a divorce, sending you off to your happiness, I didn’t expect what happened next.” David said slowly.

He sunk into the chair opposite of hers and looked at her with apologetic eyes, praying on the inside that they could survive.

“It was her, she put something in my drink and our baby….” Phoebe broke off. “I am going to kill her David, I am going to kill that bitch.”

“And i will hold your hand as you pull that magic bullet.” he answered.

His answer a promise which he intended to keep.
