Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: A great actor and actress.

Aaron and Elizabeth Gabriel were pissed…, no, livid was perhaps a better word to describe their mood. This was because they had spent the entire evening till late the previous night waiting for Phoebe to return to the cafe, but she was nowhere to be seen. What was worse was the fact that her phone was switched off and yet she had a crime to answer for in their eyes.

Since Ruth had called them yesterday in fear informing them that there was a possibility of the Mayfair’s being in the know of the fact that Phoebe was their daughter, Aaron and Elizabeth were in a state of panic. They couldn’t believe that the secret that they had guarded for years had come to light possibly.

Since it had happened however, they decided to put their contingency plan into action. As long as they left the city together with Phoebe, everything would be settled. So, what if the Mayfair’s found out about her? As long as they never set their eyes on her again, Ruth would continue living as their daughter.

Plans however only worked if everything came together properly and so far, it wasn’t working in their case. It was another day and the cafe was closed. Phoebe was still nowhere to be seen.

“What will happen to our Ruth? What if the Mayfair’s kick her out? My girl cannot manage to live without luxury after all she is used to it. And her health, how can we afford to pay for the healthcare she needs?” Elizabeth massaged her knitted brows.

Aaron wasn’t in the mood to hear his wife whine about her worries so he barked at her. “Shut up woman and let me think. The only person I blame is that ingrate Phoebe, I should have tied her up and taken her to the Magic city….no to a foreign country. I am still puzzled about how they found out.” Aaron punched the table which unnerved his wife for she placed her hand on her chest.

“Didn’t Ruth say anything at all about how they found out?” Elizabeth asked softly, afraid that her husband might direct his anger towards her.

“Woman, are you dumb! Our child had been unconscious, how is she supposed to know what was going on? You have to take part of the blame because you raised Phoebe wrong. How can she tell someone to die? She will pay for this! I am going to do everything in my power to ensure that she pays for causing this trouble.”

Veins could be seen pulsing in his neck and beads of sweat rolled down the sides of his face. “Listen up. From today on wards none of us knew anything about this. In fact, when you hear the news from anywhere you better play innocent. As a matter of fact, make sure to collapse or come up with something to sell our innocence. It’s not as if this whole thing was our fault anyway.”

Aaron then suggested that they go back at the cafe in search of Phoebe. “I hope that we aren’t unlucky to run into any other Mayfair while we are there.”

Last evening, the Gabriels hid when they saw Luke and Andre at the cafe, they looked desperate when they found it closed. After a full hour they left but Aaron and Elizabeth stayed there until the security guards chased everyone that wasn’t a resident of the apartments including them.

When they got to the cafe, it was open. Aaron sighed in relief but was shortly disappointed when he didn’t find Phoebe inside. He turned his unpleasantness on to the only one in the cafe, Rosset.

“Where is she hiding? Bring her out before i burn this whole place down.” Aaron threatened.

“Like I have told you, Phoebe isn’t here!” Rosset raised her voice. In her opinion, it was obvious that the Gabriels were looking for trouble.

“Shut up you serpent! You work for us, but I don’t like the tone of your voice. When my daughter walks in, she will surely throw you out for treating her parents with disrespect.” Elizabeth wrinkled her nose.

Her words however caused Rosset to laugh which puzzled them.

“Lady, I highly doubt that. Maybe if you treated her nicely then it would have been possible. Didn’t you both get the memo? My boss clearly doesn’t want to talk to you, so get out!”

Aaron raised his hand to launch a slap at Rosette. He wasn’t about to tolerate her disrespect any longer. However, he suddenly put his hand behind his back when he heard the rattle bell chime.

Rosset quickly rushed to welcome the couple; she had heard the rumors from the ghosts that the Mayfair’s could be Phoebe’s parents. Such people of that kind of status wouldn’t be there unless the rumor had some truth to it.

“Mr. and Mrs. Mayfair! What a pleasure to have your presence here, please have a sit.” Rosset grew an honest smile on her face but quickly frowned at the Gabriels whose eyes were fixed on the couple.

“Is….is Phoebe here? Please tell her that we want to see her.” Edward stammered and asked.

“Sorry, my boss is not here.” Rosette informed him politely.

A frown formed on his face when Rosset told him that she wasn’t there.

Elizabeth who was quivering quickly hid behind her husband when she saw the Mayfair’s, her husband on the other hand saw this as an opportunity to put up an act.

“Remember what I told you, we know nothing so act like it. In fact, act like a mother worried about her child.” He squeezed her hand tightly that she winced in pain.

They moved and sat on the table that was close to the Mayfair’s. Immediately, Elizabeth started wailing as she prayed that her daughter was safe wherever she was.

“My poor girl, she cannot have a moment of peace. The paparazzi are after her like a lion after its prey. I wish that I could just hear her sweet voice.”

The Mayfair’s that where studying the cafe turned to look at the couple that sat beside them. They didn’t know who they were, Jennie believed that it had to be some of Phoebe’s clients.

Aaron tapped his wife’s hand gently. “I am sure that Phoebe is okay wherever she is. I just don’t understand why she is hellbent on being with that Saxon guy! He’s not good for her. Now look she told her best friend to kill herself, was arrested and right now she is in hiding.” His eyes became moist on the other hand his wide was still weeping.

On hearing their conversation, The Mayfairs put one and two together and concluded that the couple had to be the people that raised their daughter.

Jennie stood up abruptly, she raised her shaky hand to her mouth and stared at them with teary eyes. She wanted to introduce herself but held back because she understood that telling Phoebe’s parents that Phoebe wasn’t theirs would break them just like it did to them, and it seemed like they adored Phoebe so much. They seemed to be good people at first sight.

Feeling overwhelmed, Jennie run out and her husband followed after her.

After the Mayfair’s left, the Gabriels smiled with satisfaction. Aaron was certain that they were now safe so his face changed like a snake shedding its skin. “Where were we? Bring out that little slut or face my wrath.”
