Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 331: The day of the hearing.

Close to midnight when the rest of the Mayfair’s had gone down to sleep, David Saxon sneaked back to Mayfair manor and climbed a ladder, making his way into the house through Phoebe’s open window. He lost his footing and almost fell down which made Phoebe open her eyes.

She sat up and pointed one of her pink guns at him. "Who is it?"

"Come on Pheebs, you know it’s me." he answered with a laugh while taking off his shoes.

"You sneaked into my house!" she exclaimed. "Are you crazy, my dad will kill you if he finds out that you are here."

"Don’t worry, I will leave before the sun comes up, nobody will ever know that I was here." he answered softly.

He took off his shirt and slid into the bed, pulling her close.

"Hmph! you must have done this a lot as a teenage boy, how many times did you sneak into your girlfriend’s bedrooms?"

"I can assure you that you are my first, I was a good boy." He put his hand around her waist and pulled her even closer.

She had her back to him, and it made him unhappy, so he turned her over so that they were face to face. "Don’t good boys get kisses?"

Phoebe rolled your eyes, "It’s a good thing that you built that orphanage, so I am in a good mood as well. Come on."

She put her lips on his, initiating the kiss and chuckling at the same time.

Five minutes into David’s sudden trip to the Mayfair house, Edward Mayfair was called out by Mark.

"Sir, Mr. David Saxon sneaked into the house, I believe that he is inside miss Phoebe’s bedroom. Should we catch him and throw him out."

Edward was both sleepy and annoyed now, he wanted to punch David in the face. How dare he sneak into his precious daughter’s bedroom?

"What is it?" Jennie came up behind him while tying a belt around the night gown.

"It’s the Saxon boy; he sneaked into our house. I cannot believe the guts on him! I am going to catch him in the act and..."

Jennie pulled him back. "Goodnight Mark." she said with finality.

Edward blinked, puzzled especially when his wife started to chuckle.

"You never did anything when Andre and Collin sneaked out to see their girlfriends, you even shrugged when the fathers of those girls complained. Now that it’s your turn to experience it, you are ready to start a war." Jennie pushed him back onto the bed.

"Look, Phoebe is an adult, if you do something like that, she will move back to her apartment because she is uncomfortable."

Edward snorted. "I don’t like it." he muttered. "It feels like we are raising a teenager, and I am worried about a teenage pregnancy or STD’s." he groaned.

He got into bed and laughed, it truly felt like they were raising a teenager, now that he thought about it, it was not funny when the shoe was on the other foot. He finally understood what all those fathers had felt.

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

In the morning, Phoebe woke up and her bed partner was gone, just as he had said. While she was brushing her teeth, she got an update on Dorothy Cook from Sylvester, the woman was okay and annoying as ever.

She sent him back to watch over her just in case Luna went off script and took matters into her own hands.

After her bath, she received more updates from the ghosts on different things.

"Before I forget, how is my mother? Did she get any sleep last night?" Phoebe asked the Saxon spirit.

The spirit let out a measured laugh. "Unlike yesterday where she was worried for Luke, she is now pleased that he has finally began to date. Her fear of him dating Luna disappeared when you told her that it was a fling and nothing serious, I just hope that that’s what it is." It shifted its lips to the side.

Phoebe draped the coat over her shoulders as she whirled around to face it. "Meaning what exactly? Did you see something that I didn’t"

"Just." it stated

The word compelled Phoebe to pause painting her lips red. "Just what? What is going on in that head of yours? Tell me Zephyra I need to concentrate on this damn hearing and not worry about what you are holding back."

The spirit sighed, a low sigh. "People do not just wake up one day and change their ways of life unless there has been a shift in their lives. Did you see how he was dressed, in designer clothes. Before meeting Luna, Luke only cared about his white hospital gown and scrubs. I just hope he’s not falling for her because I doubt Luna will leave the Elithera family to be with him."

Connie jumped out of the space. "I smell a heart break people, a big one."

Surprisingly, Phoebe laughed. "You are both wrong, to me it seemed like the other way round. Luna is more interested in my brother, the way she was clinging onto his hand like he was about to run away. Oh, and you should have seen how she quickly denied having anything to do with Andre, hilarious."

"Sister, don’t you think that you are applying way too much makeup?" Connie pulled her brows to form a frown. "You should go with a natural face and look as distraught such that people can take pity and vote for you."

Phoebe shook her head. "Hell no! I am going to walk in there and show those people that i am not easily intimidated by anyone, not even by that so called council."

"Good, I like how courageous you are my dear." The spirit cheered her on. "Good luck, you will need it."

Phoebe nodded once and walked out of the door, she went straight to the dining area hoping to have some food, but she felt nauseated right away. Although she wore a brave face, deep down she worried about what was to happen. That morning, she even thought of using one of the whispering coins but then again, she was afraid of the price she would have to pay to use that kind of magic.

"Good morning." She greeted and announced her arrival with fake cheer in her voice.

Her stomach turned; it didn’t help that they all stared at her with sympathetic eyes.

"Miss Pheebs why don’t you just take this." Maria placed a cup of warm water in front of her.

"Thank you, Maria." Phoebe drunk it in one go and handed the cup back to her.

When breakfast was done, they all departed for the founding council house building. On the way there, Phoebe asked her grandmother and Andre what it was like to appear before the council.

"Well we wouldn’t know because none of us has had the pleasure of standing before the council. You my darling are the first Mayfair to do so, you have broken that record so you will be telling us what it feels like." Grandmother Mayfair responded.

Phoebe was surprised. "Not even Andre?"

"Why me?" Andre placed a hand to his chest as his eyes flew wide open.

"Because you are our beloved black sheep." Phoebe laughed as he spoke. "I have heard about all your notorious and rebellious deeds as a teenager. "You and Sabrina Spellcaster have a lot in common, you just changed as you grew."

Her words elicited laughter from everyone including Andre himself. "Oh, come on, I wasn’t that bad." From that point on he made sure that the conversation in the car had nothing to do with the hearing which eased Phoebe’s nerves.

Of course, she had no idea just how big of a deal this hearing was.
