Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Things they missed out on.

Grandma Mayfair’s eyes lit up and she grabbed Phoebe’s hand.

“Really, you own the Black Ghost Cafe!, wow, Prudence has been gate keeping where she got the incredible medicine from other people. Her skin is looking much better and hair has regained some volume so she wanted to become the first among us all to regain her old glow before sending us your way. To think the one she was hiding from me is my own granddaughter. I am going to call her and brag her about this so much that she will be so envious of me. My dear, you have to sell to me everything that you gave her. I should be the hottest grandma in town.”

Phoebe chuckled and stuck her tongue out playfully.

“Grandmother.” she said bashfully.

Edward cleared his throat.”Mother, what are you teaching my daughter?”

Grandma Mayfair scoffed playfully at her son and went back to giving attention to Phoebe. She felt as if she had recovered already and her body was filled with more energy than before.

“Have you eaten? We were having dinner when Andre brought you home. Let’s go and eat, i want to know all about you and what your childhood was like.”

Edward and Luke helped her up, as soon as he was on her feet, she took Phoebe’s hand. For her, there was a new favorite in the house and it was her precious granddaughter.

They walked slowly and she begun quizzing Phoebe immediately. “What were you like when you were a baby?”

Edward caught up quickly because he wanted to know and Jennie followed after her sons a warning look. She didn’t want them to fight but the truckload of boiling anger inside Collin and Andre could either spill when they were alone or around other people. It would not be the first time the two would be trading words or fists, it happened when they were going up and they always made up after.

“I will make sure no blood is drawn.” Luke assured her.

Jennie sighed and closed the door behind her. She leaned against it for a few seconds and sighed sadly. Of course she was happy that Phoebe was home, what mother wouldn’t want their child but she was worried about the aftermath from her return. Was the family going to be torn apart? Would they have to choose between the daughter they raised and the one that was theirs by blood?

Whatever side they chose, one son would be devastated. It was already clear that Collin was on Ruth’s side and Andre was on Phoebe’s. Luke had not vocally picked a side and he was remaining neutral as he always was in family matters but she had a feeling that if push came to shove, he would stand on Phoebe’s side. He was like his grandmother, blood mattered to him and Phoebe was his blood sister.

Jennie quietly cried for a few more seconds and then she wiped the tears away. She took a long deep measured breath and went to join the others at the dining table. She wanted to know the things about Phoebe they had missed out on.

In the living room meanwhile, the shoving had already set in and two brothers were shoving each other while one watched with an unbothered smile. Luke, in fact was sitting in a chair with a smile on his face and a magazine in hand. There was nothing he could do or say to stop the two maniacs at this point.

“How could you bring a con artist into our home? What will you tell grandma about her business? Don’t you know that she hates shamans and the like the most?” Collin asked through gritted teeth.

He didn’t stop there and he mimicked Andre, “It’s Phoebe’s business, she owns the cafe.” He sneered derisively. “Did that girl cast a spell on you or something?”

Andre shoved him back in the chest.” I should be the one asking you that. Did Ruth put a magic spell on you to make you hate your own sister?”

“Ruth is my sister? Blood doesn’t dictate everything when it comes to relationships between family. Ruth is a better Mayfair..”

Andre didn’t wait for what Collin wanted to say and he raised folded his right hand and punched his brother.

“You bastard, you have lost your mind. We have all said it clearly that Ruth is still our sister, we won’t reject her or throw her away. Why do you keep acting as if you are the only one that loves her in this house? Are you her only brother?”

Luke raised his head lazily to make a reminder because he saw Collin taking off his expensive watch. He didn’t want the watch to break in the fight.

“No blood.” he reminded them.

Thirty minutes later, all three brothers joined everyone at the table. One had a smile on his face and two had bruises on their face and ruffled hair. One of the maids had been waiting with ice packs which she handed to them immediately.

None of the adults gave them attention and only Phoebe was frightened at their sight.

“Brother..” she cried out.

Since she was looking at Andre, all three brothers knew on whose behalf she was alarmed.

“What happened?”

Andre smiled and winced a little as a result of pain from the cut on the corner of his mouth.

“I am fine, this is nothing. You should have seen me that one time when i was injured by a falling box at the filming set. You would have cried…”

Phoebe glared at him lightly as he tried to make light light of his pain.

“You will get used to this.” Edward assured Phoebe.

His words did not reassure her as he hoped, and in fact they made her worry more. How often did they fight? She checked her bag for medicine and band aids. Andre had been kind to her and he had only fought because of her.

She got up and handed him the medicine.

“Apply this.”

He put down the ice and raised his face at her with a rather impish smile.

“Do it for me.”

She smiled and nodded.

[Tsk, Andre you are older than me but you are adorable. Brother, thank you. I will be the best sister you have ever had and i will protect you just as you have protected and fought for me.]

Andre grinned and he suddenly thought that the bruises and pain were worth it. He was steadily on his way to becoming Phoebe’s favorite in the family.

After applying medicine to him she sat down without saying a word to Collin. She glanced at him however briefly.

“I don’t need your medicine.” he mentioned.

She rolled her eyes. “I didn’t offer.”

[Did you have to hit Andre so hard you jerk? He is an actor, his face is very important. You are such a cruel brother, you and Ruth deserve each other.]

Collin scoffed and rolled his eyes ceiling. Andre’s face was important, so what about his? He was a vice president in the company. People were going to talk about him tomorrow when he showed up with bruises or swellings. Why did she care about Andre only?

Jennie tapped the table and Phoebe broke eye contact with Collin.

“Mmm, Phoebe, we should prepare a room for you since you are living here from now on. You can redecorate and paint tomorrow tonight, just make do.”

Phoebe shook her head. “It’s okay, i will take Ruth’s room.”
