Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Breaking hearts.

Sister! The words that came out of Dickson’s mouth caused Jennie Mayfair to clench her dress tightly. This wasn’t the angle she was driving at, slowly by slowly she wanted to convince David to give Ruth a chance, just a try at a real romantic relationship not a sister- brother relationship.

She was aware that her daughter wasn’t going to give up on him because she was not the type to lose. Everything Ruth Mayfair wanted in life, she got.

David cleared his throat. “Aunt Jennie I am sorry that my actions made you worried but I have been too occupied with work and Ruth just kept calling and interrupting me. I had to block her to focus on work, my intentions were not bad at all.”

Letting out an enormous belly laugh, Dickson looked at David. “Work? You blocked her because you were busy working, David are you sure?” His questions were provocative simply because he had evidence that David was out hanging out with Phoebe.

“Of course that makes perfect sense, see mother I told you that David must have had a good reason to behave that way.” Jennie clapped once excitedly and spoke to grandma Mayfair making it a point to ignore Dickson.

In that moment Ruth came down stairs, lively like never before and dressed to the nines. She ran to David and wrapped her hands around him.

“I have missed you so much but am glad that you finally came to see me.” Her hug became tighter, the tighter it got the angrier Dickson got.

David used a lot of strength to tear her hands away from his neck. He didn’t want her touching him because he didn’t want Phoebe cutting him off.

“You look perfectly okay, I thought you were dying or something.” He studied her face, Ruth had even applied makeup on. It was obvious that she was playing the victim as usual.

Grandma Mayfair suggested that they give David and Ruth some privacy.

“I am sure that these kids have a lot to talk about, let’s not make them uncomfortable.” She pulled on Jennie’s hand because it was obvious that she wanted to stay longer.

“Dickson you can come and help me with something.” Jennie wanted David and Ruth to have a private moment but to her disappointment, Dickson turned her down.

“I need a private moment with Ruthie too aunt.” There was no way he was leaving these two together.

Ignoring Ruth completely, David faced Dickson. “I heard you have some things for me.” He moved away from Ruth, widening the distance between them even further.

“Ohh I am sorry but since I didn’t find you at the Saxon tower, I gave whatever I got you to the less privileged.” Dickson used a sarcastic tone.

“That’s more like you Dick.” David’s tongue pressed on the nickname Dick. In fact he added a chuckle to his words, he was aware that Dickson hated shortening his name but David did it anyway just to taunt him.

Dickson clenched his jaw. It took a lot of effort for Dickson not to punch David, he was playing nice only because of Ruth. Instead he laughed half heartedly.

“Do not call me that.” His calm voice couldn’t hide the storm that was brewing on the inside of him.

Ruth interrupted and asked David to stay for dinner however her request compelled him to stand.

“Now that I have seen that you are in good health, I better get going.” He stood up only for Ruth to block his path.

“How…how can you go just like this? We need to talk about us…”

David interrupted her rudely. “There is no us Ruth! The only thing that I can say is that I have unblocked you but only because of your family that you are putting through hell with your drama. Stop the pity party, it makes you look pathetic. Call me only if you understand that the only relationship that the two of us can ever have is a friendly one and nothing more. I am already seeing someone else, i just came to make that clear.” His words were like bullets aimed straight to her heart.

Ruth clutched on her dress, it’s like David’s mind had been made up. Her blood boiled when she had him declare that he was seeing someone else. It was then that she came to understand that she wasn’t going to get him easily and if she had to pretend to be his friend until she got Phoebe out of the way then so be it.

“Fine! Let’s have it your way. But David we have been in each other’s lives for so long. This relationship cannot end just because you have no feelings for me. It’s fine I understand you completely.” An innocent smile formed on her lips.

The two men stared at her in complete disbelief. How was it that the tenacious Ruth Mayfair was giving up too easily.

David nodded, left the Mayfair mansion and drove himself back to his apartment.

Dickson on the other hand felt like a winner, he wished that he could buy David a beer for finally making it all clear within the ear shot of grandma Mayfair and Jennie. He had a smile that reached his eyes for he believed that finally his time had come.

“Wipe that annoying smile off your face.” Ruth told him as she walked and sank into the sofa. “If he thinks that this is over, then he has another thing coming. The only person David Saxon will marry is me not that good for nothing girl who comes from a poor family.” She vowed.

Confused, Dickson’s smile quickly fell as he touched the base of his neck. “What is wrong with you? He doesn’t want you, he is dating another woman and he is already crazy about her.”

“How do you know that?” She glared at him.

Ruth hadn’t anticipated that the news about David being interested in Phoebe had began to spread already.

Without wasting time, Dickson pulled out his phone and showed Ruth the photos he took from grandma Saxon’s phone.

She sneered. “How ridiculous, David has really lost his mind. Instead of being with me, a woman from high society, he has chosen to play in mud with a pig. We’ll see how far he’s willing to take this.” She sent the photos to her phone.

Dickson raised his head and took back his phone. “Ruth why are you obsessed with David. If it’s about marrying a Saxon then i am right here.”

Ruth snickered. “You my darling are not and will never be half the man David is. He’s not just a Saxon he comes from the first branch. That means money, wealth, glory and power.” She trailed her eyes over him giving him a scornful look. “You on the other hand what do you have to offer? Love? Please, give me a break.” She stomped on his heart without any mercy.

Without waiting for him to say anything else, she walked away and returned to her bedroom. One hour later, Ophelia screamed, almost bringing the entire house down. Ruth had taken a dozen sleeping pills.
