Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Lost protection
Phoebe did not think that it was possible for the matter to be closed at that, but it was and the Saxon’s acted as if everything was over and done with.

She did not believe so and she dragged David outside so that they could discuss the matter. She traveled through the Saxon tower like an expert, as if she had been in there many times before.

As she walked, she even waved and greeted the servants and bodyguards they met along the way which surprised them.

She took David to his bedroom and locked the door before proceeding to push him down in a chair.

“Is your grandfather nuts?” she shouted out loud. “You learn that your psycho grandson has just tried to kill another, and you let the psycho walk?” She questioned Rufus’s logic while pacing from side to side.

She ended the pacing and looked at David intensely. “Have you learned nothing from Ruth? We don’t tell the enemy that we are on to him and let him walk.”

David pulled her down, sitting her on his lap. “Pheebs, my grandfather is not a fool. There are some things that cannot be decided or dealt with in the presence of others…” he tapped her nose. “Outsiders like you Mayfair’s.”

“We are not outsiders, we are close.” she responded, nearly outraged.

“Close, yes but not Saxon’s.” he put both hands around her waist and continued, “The thing you ought to know now is that Dickson has officially lost his protection. The news of this will travel out before this very hour is up. Do you know how many enemies we Saxon’s have out there? A Saxon that is not protected by the family is like a sheep in a world full of hungry lions. Dickson will volunteer to go to the family prison, give him a few hours.”

Phoebe understood only a part of the logic, what she did know was that Dickson was now fair game to the Elithera’s. Luna had been longing for an opportunity to draw some of his blood.

David was right, many people were waiting for the opportunity to deal with Dickson. He would run back to the tower and beg on his knees.

“Come on, let’s return before your father comes looking for you with his sword.” He carried her out of the room and put her down when they returned to the living room.

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

The Mayfair’s were all smiles as they drove back home, the only topic of discussion was Dickson and all that had transpired, especially the attempted murder and his banishment. They had spent two extra hours at the tower feasting and drinking champagne that Rufus had offered.

It was a way of apologizing to the Mayfair’s for all that had transpired. The old patriarch had also said that it was a good day to make merry because a pest had been exterminated from his household.

Edward and grandma Mayfair had been more than happy to celebrate with him. When they reached home, they discussed the issue further in their living room.

The matter was discussed over cups of tea and sobering soup.

Edward was one of the people sipping sobering soup out of a bowl. His flushed face had a big grin as if he had signed a fat contract.

“Father, I do not know how you pulled that off in the shortest time possible, finding all those women and convincing them to expose their scars. You are a hero.” Phoebe raised her thumb up, a smile continued to exist on her lips.

Edward snickered. “Did you think that I would leave him alone after attempting to molest and kidnap my child! The Saxons owe us a great deal for not reporting this to the police. Their family would have fallen from grace to grass if I did that.

Nobody would keep according to them the respect that they are enjoying now. I knew though that uncle Rufus would punish Dickson accordingly so I figured that we should handle the matter just between us.” A pleased smile curled up his lips.

Andre rubbed his hands. “So, father what do we have to gain out of this? We saved the Saxon’s image so how are they planning to repay us? How much money and what is my cut?” He licked his lips hungrily.

His words elicited laughs from the listeners, his aunt went ahead to strike the back of his head.

“I am worried that one day Andre might trade us for money while we are sleeping. Have you forgotten that our Phoebe is dating a Saxon and if she marries him or has his babies in future, they will be Saxon’s? It is the major reason why your father took the decision he made. It is enough that they owe us, perhaps one day we will collect that debt.” Maureen said.

Edward produced a deliberate, unnecessary cough. “Speaking of debt collecting.” Upon his words everyone turned their attention on him. “I already asked that he bless Phoebe and David’s union, married or not. I believe that Celine Mortimer is not going to give up easily on the old betrothal and I wanted to be confident that Uncle Rufus will not support the Mortimer camp.” He scratched his brows.

Jennie shifted in her seat. “And? What did he say?” She probed.

“He supports the children’s relationship; in fact, he wants them to marry because he wants more grandchild as soon as possible.” He comforted his wife by tapping the back of her hand.

Jennie let out a heavy sigh. “I do not know why these kids are dragging this marriage issue, women will keep coming for David as long as you two are not committed to each other.” She finally laid out a complaint that had been weighing down on her chest.

“And men will come for Phoebe, may I remind you that she is the catch here.” Grandma Mayfair rolled her eyes. “You have nothing to worry about because these children are committed. Focus your energy on Collin’s wedding, Anna Lee complained that you two cannot seem to agree on a wedding theme which is delaying things.” She arched an eyebrow, knowing her daughter in law had to be the difficult one.

Jennie rolled her eyes in a dismissive way. “She wants the entire wedding to be in doors can you believe that? I agreed to the ancient wedding where the hands of the couple are tied with a rope. It will be an indoor ceremony for the vows but not the reception, it must be outside.” She shook her head disapprovingly.

Grandma Mayfair clicked her tongue. “What do the bride and groom think? After all you are not the ones getting married.” Her eyes drifted to Collin who let out a weary sigh.

“Just so you know mother, we do not care about the colors, cake flavor, food or decorations. We just want to be married before winter.” His pleading gaze met hers.

Jennie placed a hand to her chest. “Oh honey! You should care; you only marry once.”

“Eh!!!” Phoebe squawked.

Everyone looked at her curiously and she laughed nervously. They were wondering if she was hinting at something like a future divorce.

“Nothing, I just felt something in my stomach.” she said. “And nobody should worry, I just ate too much cake.”

Jennie looked back at Collin. “I am sure that Shana feels different, she wants a wedding to remember. Trust me, I will wear Anna Lee down slowly. We still have a long way to go before you two marry even the wedding invitations have not been finalized.”

“Mother!” Collin let out a desperate cry, at this point he had to make a drastic decision to force their mother’s hands because winter was only weeks away. An unexpected pregnancy could certainly make them move faster.
