Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Edward’s resolution.

“Black Ghost cafe! Oh my World!” Grandma Mayfair felt a little faint. It was right there in the name of her cafe, so glaringly obvious.

Phoebe nodded and bit her lips, there was nothing to hide, she had been allover TV and social media with most calling her a con artist. In fact she was certain that Ruth had mentioned it to the family.

[I hope that you all, my family will still accept me now that they know who I am truly. If you don’t then i guess i will consider it my unlucky fate. I almost died, when i woke up i could see ghosts and now i am this…i can’t change it.]

They all saw the thought and had even more questions for her especially about her near death incident. What had happened and how it happened, they wanted to know.

As for the ghosts, at least she wasn’t faking anything and telling lies. If they didn’t have the ability to read her thoughts they would be jumping to other conclusions.

“So all this talk on T.V about you being a fake shaman was wrong? You are actually a real shaman?” Grandma Mayfair’s eyes widened in question.

Phoebe nodded and shuffled her feet.

[I guess i should get started on leaving right away.]

“Err…it’s unusual but we will get used to it.” Edward said nervously.

He didn’t want her to go. His daughter had almost died and he had almost missed out on an opportunity to know her.

It didn’t matter if she saw ghosts, he would find a way to deal with it. His friend Dexter had a son that had the mental age of seven and he adored his son, never hiding him from people or acting ashamed of him. So what if he had a daughter that could see ghosts? If Dexter didn’t care what people thought of his son, why should he care what they said about Phoebe.

Maybe her condition could even be remedied, he would look into it.

Andre meanwhile was panicking too, he was unprepared to see his sister leaving after all the effort he had put into bringing her home.

“Mom, dad, grandma, don’t be scared. Our younger sister only deals with good ghosts that need help and is awesome when she is at work. You should have seen at her at the cafe, this guy run into her cafe chasing after a father and son. They were ghosts that were still living with a human woman as a family.

Phoebe stood up and held her hand up like a hero in an action film and she shouted, ghost catchers are not welcome here.”

Andre put both of his hands on his waist.

“Luke and i were puzzled, we had no idea what was going on. The guy said, those ghosts are criminals, the dead and the living are not allowed to be together, life is for the living. Then Phoebe replied, this cafe is a sanctuary for ghosts looking for a way to move on, i do not harbor evil ghosts, leave or face my wrath.”

Andre continued narrating the story, exaggerating it and adding new details to it. He had written an entire script and he narrated it to them, making it so exciting that even grandma Mayfair forgot her apprehension in relation to ghosts.

“The guy told her, you are a ghost catcher, you are just like me but you are doing the opposite of your job. Phoebe held her hand up and said, I am not like you, i am the exception. In this world, i am the only exception.”

Luke moaned and laughed, because he was actually there and half of the details Andre had added were false but he didn’t bother correcting them. It was all for a good cause anyway.

“That sounds action packed and scary, are you okay?” Grandma Mayfair asked Phoebe.

Phoebe nodded.

“Let’s all retire for the night, we can deal with everything else tomorrow.”

One by one, they hugged Phoebe, some with genuine happiness and sincerity and others with stiffness. They left one maid behind to help Phoebe make the bed and help with anything else she needed.

Everyone walked away with different thoughts on their mind. The night had been a whirlwind of surprising events and it had ended on an unexpected note.

Jennie had the most thoughts as she was disturbed by the fact that Phoebe was a shaman. What would society say about them when they learned about this? She folded her lips and shut her eyes tightly at the thought of her friends and two sisters gossiping about her.

Edward knew that she was very disturbed and he put his hands around her shoulders as he led her into their bedroom.

“I know what’s on your mind, you are worried about your family and what they will say about our daughter.”

Jennie sat down on the bed and put her head between her hands. “A shaman Edward, our biological daughter is a shaman.”

She sniveled and quick tears fell from her eyes. For some reason, she was feeling like a failure and she had failed Phoebe even though she was not the one that raised her.

“How did this happen? how did we end up here? People will mock her and us Edward, they will point fingers and laugh. And there is the matter of David Saxon, two sisters in love with the same man. Not just in love but fighting, exchanging blows in public.”

Edward sat down next to his wife and he sighed. He had put on a brave face in front of Phoebe but he was worried too.

“Maybe we should first concentrate on becoming closer to Phoebe over everyone and everything else. We have raised Ruth with all the love we have to give and there is nothing wrong with doing the same for our real daughter. Will you be happy if you live knowing that have a daughter out there, starving or dead while you raise another person’s child and pamper her?

I know you Jen, it will haunt you if you reject Phoebe. You are struggling right now because you are torn between making her happy and protecting Ruth’s heart from breaking.

Before tormenting yourself, keep in mind that the Gabriels could ask for Ruth back when they find out about her. We may not have a chance to keep Ruth with us so focus on building a relationship with Phoebe, whatever and whoever she is because if we are not careful, we might lose both of our daughters just because we want to protect our pride and image.”

Jennie’s soft cries became louder and she threw herself into Edward’s arms.

He rubbed her back and comforted her as best as he could. “So what if people laugh and point their hands at her? As long as we don’t do the same thing to her, everything will be alright. She has not had an easy life Jen, let’s not make it any more harder for her. We have even apologized in public and lowered our heads for Ruth’s sake. If we could lower our pride for her, why can’t we do the same for Phoebe.”

He was still stuck on the part of Phoebe almost dying and the thought was still haunting him. Now that he had met her, hugged her and talked to her, he would protect her.
