Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Returning what was stolen.

Back at the Saxon family home, grandma Saxon was in a terrific mood since morning. During breakfast, she kept checking her phone and laughing. However she wouldn’t share what had gotten her so amused not even with her son whom she adored.

Even after breakfast, she continued to laugh while looking at her phone. She seemed to be highly entertained by whatever she was watching.

This got Dickson Saxon very curious because there were very few things on planet earth that made his grandmother laugh to the point of dabbing tears from her eyes.

Dickson who hailed from the second branch of the family was visiting after returning from a trip to a holy city. With him he had bought so many gifts to impress the family his grandmother especially.

However he was disappointed when grandma Saxon barely paid attention to them but rather focused on her phone.

“I haven’t seen David around, why isn’t he here. I got something for him as well.” Came Dickson’s words that raised eyebrows especially those of grandma Saxon.

It was common knowledge that the two young men competed over everything. They were cousins but far from friends, in fact they almost seemed to be enemies so how come Dickson was now carrying gifts for David?

He saw the was they were all looking at him with skepticism.

“Oh come on! We are grown men now and we have grown much closer than you think. The days of silly competition are over and long gone.” Dickson who had read the room spoke with laugher in his voice as he defended himself.

“That brat moved out to God knows where, how can a son abandon his mother because of a woman and not bother to call me once.” Miranda let out a muffled sob.

Grandma Saxon didn’t react, knowing well why David and his parents were not close.

“Sorry, he what? Aunt, who gave him permission to do as he pleases?…..” Dickson’s stared at each one of them in disbelief.

“I did and that’s that. If any of you wants to go you can move out as well, after all we have enough security to protect you all. You are all coddled enough as it is.” Grandma Saxon stood up and wobbled away leaving them mesmerized.

“How is mother walking without her walking cane?” Miranda looked at her husband in shock.

Robert stared back at his wife in utter disbelief, moving his head from side to side.

“Come to think of it, she looks more energetic today.”

“And her skin is glowing more than usual.” Rose-Bell stated as a frown grew on her face.

Katherine clapped once and pointed at Rosie. “Must be that new tonic which she drinks like juice or wine every other hour. The one she got from that place…hmmm…I don’t remember the name…..”

“Black Ghost cafe!” Rose-Bell stood up abruptly on remembering the name that was written on the bottle.

“Hmmm interesting.” Katherine took a big bite of the pear in her hands and smiled like she had won a lottery.

She looked like she was scheming something.

After catching up with everyone, Dickson bid them goodbye and headed to grandma Saxon’s bedroom to do the same. His fingers that was about to knock on the door paused when he heard loud laughter resonate in the room.

“Ohh David that silly child.” He heard her say when he pinned his ear to the door.

He knocked twice before he was told to go in.

Grandma lowered her phone in a sneaky way as if to hide whatever was in it which only made Dickson eager to know what she was looking at.

“Grandma I brought these items, it seems like you forgot about them or didn’t you like them.” Dickson wore a sad expression which caused his grandmother to hurry and hug him.

“Of course not dear, I love them. Give those to me.” She took the oil and wrapped gifts from him and walked to her study where she intended to keep them.

While she was gone, Dickson took the opportunity to look through her phone. He saw photos of David and Phoebe whom he knew was Ruth’s friend.

“Well, well. Look who we have here.” Dickson sent the photos to his phone and placed Grandma Saxon’s phone back to where it was.

When his grandmother returned, he bid her farewell and left with a sly smile on his face.

In Moblin city meanwhile, those who had gone in search of the Ruptin’s arrived at their door.

Before Phoebe could knock on the door David stretched his hand and banged on it and since it was already weak if just fell backwards, scaring the occupants who were inside.

“David! What is wrong with you? You can’t just go around banging on people’s doors like that. Do you even know how to knock?”

[Of course not, you are a Saxon. People open doors for you guys.] She kind of answered her own question.

She glared at him but quickly calmed herself and apologized to the woman and two children who were glaring at the intruders while protecting their mother.

“Please I apologize for the intrusion and we come in peace. We are looking for Cynthia Ruptin and her children, I believe that’s you.” Phoebe smiled at them just to reduce the tension.

She nudged at David who quickly apologized and introduced himself. Polly handed the skeptical mother a business card, after reading the information on it she made the sign of the cross and gave David a tentative smile.

“Of course forgive the fact that I couldn’t recognize you, I thought that it was the money lenders but Mr. Saxon why are you looking for us?” Sally signaled her children a boy and a girl in their teenage years to feel at ease.

“Well….uhmm…” He stammered and looked at Phoebe who quickly jumped in.

“Miss Cynthia the thing is that we brought this for you and your children.” She signaled the two men to place the bag on the floor.

With a quizzical look, Cynthia bent down and opened the bag. On seeing the money she gasped and stared at them.

“This…this is money.” she croaked out.

“Duh!” Connie rolled her eyes.

“Yes, and it’s yours.” David told her.

He said it with showmanship in his voice like he was Santa Claus and he had come carrying gifts. His tone and confirmation made Cynthia believe that the money had come from him.

“Mr. Saxon I know that your family is very rich but I didn’t expect you to give us all this money. Even though it’s charity, isn’t it a little too much?” Cynthia wiped a tear from her cheek with the back of her hand.

Shaking his head, David told her that the money wasn’t from him. “This is the fifteen million dollars that was stolen from your husband.”

“What!” The Ruptins shouted in unison, the children who were far behind came closer to see it with their eyes.

“How? My husband searched everywhere but that thief Sylvester was never found. Did you catch him?” Cynthia blinked rapidly with her gaze fixed on David.

“Well yes and no. Sylvester is dead, he died in an accident and he came to me with a request that I bring back this money back to you.” Phoebe choose her words very carefully.
