Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 463: Edward's birthday dinner.



The Saxon spirit was all about Phoebe and what was good for her. On one hand, she was progressing which was awesome but on the other hand, Maureen was a little reckless. Phoebe was pregnant, her first trimester had just passed. It was a miracle that the pregnancy was unharmed given all the intense physical fighting she had been doing.

Thankfully, magic was involved, and David's energy was being used to protect the baby.

"You are all right, Maureen needs to pull back a bit.."

Rekha threw her fist in the air jubilantly.

"But being too cautious will also delay Phoebe's progress. I don't need to remind you all about Ravana's impending return, more demons are infesting this city as we speak. Just combine both approaches."

Maureen threw her fist in the air and looked at Rekha provocatively. The ladies left the office, cleaned up in the cafe employee bathroom and went to work.

**************

One thing that had advanced more than Phoebe's skills in the last two months was Maureen and Mr. Alton's relationship. It began by him asking her to help him overcome his past and quickly the situation had turned into them seeing each other.

The happiest person with this development was grandma Mayfair who kept mentioning the word wedding at every given opportunity. Despite her hints, Maureen was unmoved which resulted in many arguments between mother and daughter.

Alton Boyd had become a regular visitor at the Mayfair manor. That evening too during dinner, he was invited over. He was not the only invited guest to Edward's birthday dinner; Sabrina was there as well.

Andre was still not comfortable with her coming to the Mayfair manor for any reason and yet she regularly came over for family dinner. She was always welcomed with hugs and a guest room had been fixed for her and set aside for her use permanently. It was obvious that everyone thought of her as part of the family. Ever since she came of age, his mother kept instructing him to chauffeur her around the city and take her on walks.

Andre had been staying away from home for longer periods now to avoid Sabrina and the uncomfortable situation. His movie was keeping him busy and mostly out of town which he was thankful for.

When he walked into the dining room that evening with an armful of gift bags that were handed to the servants, he was not surprised to see her at the table.

"You are here again. Is your home infested with termites or what?" His snide questions came through a whisper as he sat down. He made sure that his mother who sat next to Sabrina did not hear him.

Sabrina only smiled back politely, deep down her blood was boiling with fury and she wanted to snap back a sharp retort, but she was just as guest in the Mayfair house and therefore had to be on her best behavior.

If it was any other family, she would not care but apart from Andre, the rest of the Mayfair's had been kind to her. Mr. and Mrs. Mayfair treated her as one of their own. When they bought presents for their children, she got one as well. Old Lady Mayfair was teaching her etiquette and made her join social clubs. She even helped her with her university application.

They did things for her that her own parents and siblings did not bother to do so she liked them, and she did not want to disappoint their expectations in her. After all, for the first time in her life, someone expected her to do great things.

"Good evening to you too Andre." She responded, wishing she did not have to sit next to him. It happened every single time. What kind of coincidence was that!!!

Oman appeared and announced that the Lee's had arrived and so had the Saxon's. They had all come for Edward's birthday. It was a small celebration and only people from his inner circle had been invited.

After the initial hellos were exchanged, they sat to enjoy the meals that had been prepared by the chefs.

Grandpa Saxon gazed at Phoebe whom he had requested to see in private countless times, but the girl never acted on her promises to see him. Then he drifted his gaze to David.

"It is nice to finally see you, we barely hear from you since you decided to move into the Mayfair manor." He feigned a cough to cover up the disapproval in his tone, still not happy about the idea.

"Grandpa I am sorry for not calling you or Nana lately, I will do better. About me staying here, well the Mayfair's are my family too just like you are." David squeezed Phoebe's fingers. The two happened to be comfortably holding hands even at the table. Everyone had grown used to it ever since David moved in.

It had come out of the blue for them. When Phoebe had refused to move in with David or buy a home with him, he had made a sudden decision to move into the Mayfair manor permanently. After the entire family got over the initial shock, they were overjoyed because it meant Phoebe did not have to leave.

They had not lived with her for even a year, if she left, they would be sad. The Saxon's however found it odd, he and Phoebe were supposed to move into the tower not the other way round. When did Saxon's start living with their in-laws? David was breaking all kinds of family traditions to accommodate his girlfriend.

Grandpa Saxon brushed off the apology with a wave of his hand. "Of course, I am certain that the Mayfair's care for you." He shut his lips although there was more to say.

"Just do not be strangers, both of you." Grandma Saxon smiled at Phoebe mostly.

What the elders didn't know was that the couple was simply trying to hide Phoebe's pregnancy. David had told her that his grandmother could sense a pregnancy from a mile away.

Miranda held her chest. "Have you thought about having babies yet? At least I will find solace in my grandchild." She said abruptly.

[Oh crap!]

Phoebe almost spilled her apple juice when she had Miranda's words. If only Miranda knew that her wish was already baking.

Anna Lee's face turned ashen. "Are you serious Miranda? They are not married yet so how can they have a child? Why would you even say that out loud?" She gulped on her husband's whiskey; passion fruit juice was just not hard enough.

The shock on her face reflected that of the entire Lee family, chastity was a big deal to them.

Miranda clucked her tongue in disapproval. "Oh my God Anna we are no longer in the old days where purity of a woman was everything. The young people of these days are very liberal about such matters. As long as they are willing to be together just like David and Phoebe are, I do not think it is a problem." She spoke casually. "Besides, a family like ours can rise any children that they have with or without a wedding license."

Minka gave Shanna a side eye. "So, the rumors about Rose-bell being pregnant before her wedding were true?" She innocently asked.
