Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: No sleeping together on the first date.

Her thoughts on Collin were as clear as day and he read each and every word. He blinked continuously in disbelief and looked at everyone else. David was looking at him with displeasure while Kelly was impatient and angry. None of them were reacting to what he had seen.

Collin folded his lips and stood up abruptly pushing the chair far behind. He pointed at Phoebe but words failed him because he wasn’t certain about what he had just seen.

“You…you I hope you are keeping your distance away from my sister like I told you to.” He walked away leaving Kelly behind.

In utter shock, Kelly flipped her hair and run after him.

David stared at Collin in a mixture of shock and confusion after he warned Phoebe to stay away from his sister. It also seemed like this wasn’t the first time he was warning her.

“Do you know who that man is Pheebs? Wait a minute of course you do after all he’s Ruth’s brother and you have met him before. Did he warn you to stay away from his sister?” His back to back questions fell on deaf ears as Phoebe’s full attention was on announcer Kelly who almost fell down in a bid to catch up with Collin.

“Did you say something?” She asked when David touched her hand, his quizzical gaze fixed on her. He had to repeat the question to which she answered that she didn’t know him at all.

“Other than the fact that I had seen him in the news, I had never really met him. Except for that one time when he came to my cafe and threatened me.” Phoebe curled her upper lip upwards.

“That’s odd! How come you didn’t meet him earlier? Even when you went to the Mayfair mansion you didn’t meet him?” David continued to ask because he was curious.

Like many other people, he was assuming that she knew the Mayfairs and had interacted with them often since she and Ruth were high school friends.

“My supposed best friend made it her life’s mission that I never meet any member of her family. Maybe she was afraid that i would fall in love with one of her brothers or something. I haven’t even been to her home but she frequents mine like she owns the place. Gosh I was so stupid to believe that she ever considered me a friend.” Phoebe leaned back in the chair and folded her hands.

A smile formed on David’s lips because he was happy that Phoebe was no longer naive. Although he wanted to protect her from the likes of Ruth, she had to be on guard herself.

Phoebe took a sip from her lemonade and continued to speak. “Collin Mayfair came to the cafe recently to warn me to stay away from her because I apparently beat up his sister and tore her clothes. Ruth is a cunning person, she tore her clothes, hurt herself and lied against me to my parents and hers.”

She went ahead to send David a video of the dash cam footage as proof. When he saw it he wasn’t surprised but instead shook his head continuously.

“She must be putting on a show at home. Aunt Jennie called me earlier in tears, pleading that I pay Ruth a visit. Apparently they are afraid that she may fall sick since her body is weak. My hands are tied here because I pity uncle and Aunt.” A frown formed on his face.

[Your hands are tied! This is how the male lead is often trapped by the female villain in novels. If you dare to go there and act friendly with her, i will cut you out of my life completely. So what if Ruth is sickly, is she dying? In fact, i hope she cries to death, that piece of trash.]

A smile played on Phoebe’s lips as she thought. David who had read them raised his brows.

“I have no plans to visit them but my grandmother might make me escort her to the Mayfair house. If she does, i know exactly what to do when i get there.” He hailed for the waiter to bring their bill. After paying they left the restaurant.

It was a quiet ride home and David kept sighing every once in a while.

“Spit it out.” She said as she propped her head on her clenched fist.

David cleared his throat. “I was wondering why you have animosity towards my family. By any chance has any of them paid you a visit?”

There was no point in telling him because she was sure that grandma Saxon was going to tell him that she visited him or perhaps he could see her drinking the tonics from her cafe.

“I have met two.” She completely ignored the question about animosity.

The brakes screeched when David suddenly stepped on the brakes, thankfully Phoebe was wearing a seatbelt so it held her in place.

David’s eyes flew wide open. “Who and who? Was it my mother? It has to be, she just doesn’t know when to mind her business. Did she threaten you in anyway?”

A sneer came through Phoebe’s lips, she was glad that finally David knew how impossible his mother was. However it was surprising because in the past life, she had told him about his mother making her life hard but he never took her seriously. She wondered what might have happened for him to have a change of heart.

“The Saxons I have met are your grandmother and another whom you don’t need to know about.” Phoebe wasn’t intending on telling him about the Saxon spirit.

The spirit was in agreement, it believed that David wasn’t ready yet. In good time he’ll know everything after all he was Phoebe’s helper.

David cocked his head slightly and quickly turned his eyes on the road. “Grandma? What did she want? How come that she hasn’t told me anything?”

“She wanted supplements, her visit was totally innocent.” Phoebe kept a lot of information to herself including the fact that grandma had disguised herself to meet her.

“I think she is nice.” Phoebe added.

He smiled, glad that she didn’t hate all Saxons. When they got to the Cerene Apartments, David escorted her to her place. He kissed her on the cheek and left amidst the spirit demanding that she invites him in.

“Why are you ending things here, call him back. There are so many doors you’ll open when you sleep together!” The Saxon spirit hovered back and forth.

“Nice try, those doors will remain closed because i am not sleeping with him after one date.” Phoebe entered the house.

Connie was in agreement. “This is the first date, he’ll think she’s loose girl. Is that what the females need your generation did?”

The spirit was so mad that it vanished, Phoebe was clearly not seeing it’s point and there was no need explaining.

To Luke Mayfair, it felt like that particular day was the slowest day of his life. Every hour he called the lab technician asking whether the results of the test were out but each time he was disappointed. He spent his day seeing patients, and thinking about those results.

It was late and his shift was already over but he was still in the office contemplating the possible results.

A slight knock on the door called for his attention. “Come in.” He lazily said.

It was the lab technician, he had a big white envelope in his hands. “Doctor, these are the test results.”
