Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 326: When a ghost cries.

In the afternoon of that same day, Phoebe run into Collin Baltimore, on one hand she tensed up as soon as she saw him, worried that he would say something leaning in the direction of his interest in her.

But, on the other hand, she wanted to talk to him about Connie’s affairs. Unfortunately, or fortunately, he was about to attend an important seminar, so he did not have time to speak to her.

He showed excitement at her willingness to have a conversation with him and promised to visit the Cafe when he was free.

"Are you seriously going to ask him about Connie?" The Saxon spirit watched Collin enter an awaiting Bentley.

"Well, I won’t ask him directly, but I need to know why Connie reacts negatively each time she sees a Baltimore, especially Cassie. There is a connection there and we need to unravel it if Connie is ever to move on." Phoebe responded as she counted the last of the boxes of finished pendants and bracelets that Lorraine had sent over.

The way Phoebe figured, she would not live forever and when she was dead, Connie would most likely be evicted from the space bracelet and return to the life of a wandering ghost. She did not want that to be the fate of the girl as she had come to care for her.

"Perhaps we should ask Connie...." The spirit was interrupted by Connie who flew out of the magic space.

"Ask me what?" The teenage ghost chewed and rolled gum on its finger. It’s overly suspicious eyes looked at Phoebe and the spirit.

"Maybe later." Phoebe told the spirit inwardly before telling Connie to go back to the space and concentrate on the tasks that were given to her like harvesting herbs and making those magic bullets.

Once all the boxes had been transferred from the delivery truck to the cafe, Phoebe paid the delivery men and headed back inside.

She settled in her office and took on the task of turning the pendants and bracelets into lucky charms and talismans. She did this task uninterrupted for three hours, it was a slow day on her end with no ghost clients.

She took a break and attended to the few humans which took her only thirty minutes. Tired of being stuck in her office, she carried some bracelets to the counter and sat beside her grandmother.

Old lady Mayfair was watching a ghost movie, a passion she had picked up after Phoebe came into her life. After hearing about demons, she planned to watch more supernatural related movies and educate herself as much as she could.

Without looking away from her movie she said, "Mmm, Pheebs, come home tonight, Collin is bringing Shanna to the house for dinner because he wants to introduce her to the family officially."

A smile played on her lips. "One brother down, two to go." She mumbled as she swung from side to side in the adjustable bar stool.

"Add yourself to the list, I don’t think that your parents will be happy if their daughter doesn’t marry." The Saxon spirit that was sitting on the stool by the window reminded Phoebe.

"In this life Zephyra, no one is going to pressurize me into marriage and that includes you and my parents." Phoebe clicked her tongue and moved the chair back to its original position.

Phoebe stood up stretched and returned to her office, forgetting to take with her the bracelets that she had placed on the counter.

Sylvester was the one that noticed and he brought them into her office before moving away to join a table of regular ghost customers that were playing cards.

It was a group of four old men that treated the ghost cafe like a regular bar, and they always ordered for beers and wine when they came over. In them, Sylvester had found friendship.

Phoebe meanwhile decided to read a novel, she figured she had worked hard all day, she had only read one page when someone knocked on the door and entered.

"Phoebe I know that you have said that I shouldn’t accept any ghost client for the rest of the day but this one is so sad and he says he won’t ask for much, can I send him in?" Rossett asked, she pouted her lips making clearer her sad face.

"Oh come on Rossett, there is nothing as simple as a ghost case and they are all sad." She sighed and put the novel down. "Send him in the least I can do is hear him out."

Phoebe waved her hand and signaled Rossett to escort the ghost in. Her eyes were pinned to the open entrance leading into her office, she studied the ghost as it floated in, deep lines of sorrow etched on the face. It was a young man in his thirties, the moment he saw her he began to cry and apologize as if he had wronged her.

"I am sorry, I truly am." The ghost sniveled and wiped mucus away from it’s nose with the back of its hand.

"Here." Phoebe handed him a tissue, she had never seen so much ghost snot. "Start by telling me your name."

The ghost blew its nose. "Xavier Waterhouse."

Phoebe nodded. "Okay Xavier, what is troubling you? What are you sorry about?"

"I committed suicide." He began.

Phoebe exhaled loudly; suicide ghosts were never easy to convince to move on. Because of their selfish acts of suicide no matter the cause, the god of death punished them for taking a life even if it was their own.

Furthermore, many of them regretted taking their lives after the act was done because they realized they had loved ones that were in pain, so the guilt kept them on earth. She assumed that he was there for one of the two reasons.

"Listen Xavier, you must be scared about what is going to happen to you. But do not worry, whatever punishment the god of death gives you just accept it such that you can atone for the sin of taking a life, the punishment lasts only for a few years and then...."

Xavier’s tears dried up. "I do not care about that!" He wiped his wet face with a tissue.

Phoebe was puzzled. "Okay then what’s the problem here?"

The tears that had stopped returned. "It’s my brother, he is currently protesting in front of the company that I used to work for because he believes that I was thrown off the building, but he is wrong I jumped. I was tired of this life; my girlfriend left me for a richer man, so I became depressed.

My depression affected my work, so I was demoted even though I was doing my best, my house was taken by the bank because I failed to repay a loan and then I was diagnosed with second stage lung cancer.

I am...was thirty five years old, still young but nothing in my life was going well for me. I believed that I would be better off in another world. I feel so guilty because my brother is blaming himself and the company foolishly. I need you to explain to him why I did what I did and tell him that I am sorry, but I had to go." He let out a weary sigh.

Phoebe wiped a tear away from her face. "Okay Xavier, let’s go find your brother."
