Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 342: Faking it excellently.
Phoebe wrinkled her nose and excused herself, obviously she could not stop Luna, when the woman was being created, shamelessness was added into her DNA in large doses.
"Nana, when did I bring Collin and Shanna together?" Phoebe poked a pillow as she went through her memories, trying to recall any moment when she suggested Shanna as Collin’s match.
"Didn’t you do a reading for them and said their stars aligned or something like that? You said they were ninety nine percent compatible and all most couples need for a good marriage to work out is seventy five percent." Old lady Mayfair reminded her.
Phoebe winced, she did say those things but this was after Collin and Shana got together, in fact the elders of both families had already met when her grandmother brought Collin and Shanna’s dates of birth and asked her to do a reading.
"I did say that," Phoebe said after a moment of short thought, she stood up with the intention to leave. "Alright, I am going to take a bath and then dress up."
Quickly, Luna stood. "I will go help her since I am already done, grandma you should go and change into something nice too even though you already look amazing."
Aunt Maureen’s nail clicked on the wine glass she was holding. "Keep it up young lady, flattery will get you everywhere." She chuckled and watched Jennie with glee.
Jennie looked like she had swallowed a fly and Maureen loved it. The more that Luna got under Jennie’s skin, the more she approved of her.
"Grandmother? Really mother, you are already letting her call you that?" Jennie said unhappily "Need I remind everyone of what her name is; Elithera, she is an Elithera, they manufacture and sell weapons, they run drugs, they kill for heaven sake! and they are not welcomed by the founding families. She is not good Mayfair daughter-in-law material."
Grandma Mayfair waved her hand to dismiss Jennie’s words. "I can name five founding families that are in the making and selling of arms including the great Drusus family.
They sell drugs.....have you ever seen Luna personally selling drugs? As for killing people, if she is killing bad ones then the consequences are between her and God, not me.When it comes to not being welcomed by the founding families, that’s also her battle, not mine. Besides, those families neither feed, clothe or pay her salary so why should she care about them?
We are Mayfairs, we are not obligated to lower our heads before other families we are one of the top five founding families, others bow to us.Jennie I held prejudice against her originally but I am changing my mind slowly so why can’t you?
Luna is not that bad, she looks out for Phoebe in ways that we cannot and she is Luke’s girlfriend, the only woman he has ever dated that we know of, are you really going to keep condemning her? If yes, then prepare to lose a son. Calm down and let things take there course, nobody knows tomorrow." She bypassed a sulking Jennie and entered the elevator because her old legs did not want to climb the stairs.
She left Jennie speechless and irritated, she was unwilling to allow an Elithera sink claws into her son.
Inside Phoebe’s room meanwhile, Luna waited for Phoebe to finish her bath and then took on the role of personal designer, first she rejected the dress Jennie had chosen calling saying that it was a vintage and that wasn’t the theme.
She ransacked the entire closet of expensive gowns but complained that she couldn’t find one that would cause David’s jaw to drop.
"I don’t need to do that, David is already my boyfriend." Phoebe picked the gown her mother had chosen from the bed, she didn’t quite like it but she had accepted to wear it nevertheless.
Luna placed both hands to her waist. "Phoebe you seem to be naive in this dating world, listen every time you get an opportunity make sure that you change your looks such that he doesn’t get bored with one. Why do you think I changed the color of my hair? To be appealing and always interesting in my Luke’s eyes. Do you know how many nurses are hitting on him? I have watched those medical dramas, I know what doctors and nurses and other doctors do in their break rooms."
Phoebe’s eyes shifted from the dress to Luna’s hair, it was a pale orange which resembled a carrot, it was a good thing that Luna was beautiful enough to pass it off.
"I heard you but if I do not wear this my mother will be heart broken and dislike you more for influencing me to change my mind."
Tapping her index finger on her red colored lips, Luna thought about it. "Then by all means wear the dress because I want your mother to like me." A smile of defeat came to form on her lips, she didn’t want to make her relationship with Jennie any worse than it already was.
"For the Sunflower ball, I am going to take you to this new place in town, it has the best ball gowns. Your family will get a lot of marriage proposals the next day." she said.
Phoebe chuckled, she strolled into the large bedroom sized closet, changed and stepped out a minute later. She had donned on a long sleeved black body hugging gown with a sweetheart neck line. In her opinion it was a bit modest for her style but quite nice.
"Wow, okay it’s alright I admit that its gorgeous but probably because you are beautiful, not the dress." Luna commented.
Her reaction caused Phoebe to laugh for Luna’s eyes stared at her with admiration but her mouth said something totally the opposite.

Phoebe added a luxurious looking talisman pendant made by Lorraine from her stones. She knew a lot of pictures of her would be taken which was a good way to advertise her business.
Maria knocked once and entered. "Miss Pheebs forgive me I wanted to help you dress up but.....oh my goodness." her words trailed off when she saw Phoebe looking so gorgeous. "You look so beautiful Miss Pheebs, I guess you will be going home with Mr. David tonight." Her eyebrows danced dramatically.
Phoebe’s cheeks turned red, as red as those of a Victorian bride on her wedding night. "What are you talking about Maria, I am coming back home."
"Aha! If you say so." Luna laughed and Maria joined her as they all walked out of the door too join the rest of the family downstairs. Phoebe got a lot of comments praising her looks from her family.
"We have to thank Luna too, she assisted in helping her put the look together." Aunt Maureen stated.
[That is funny because she hated the dress until it put it on.]
Luna’s eyes adjusted and fell upon Jennie who seemed disturbed by Maureen’s comment. "Actually aunt, mother is the one that chose this beautiful gown, her fashion test is top notch."
"At least you are not shameless to steal someone else’s credit, let’s go." Jennie raised her nose in the air.
Luke roughly grabbed Luna’s arm and held her back while everyone left ahead of them. "Mother? Aunt, you are beginning to sound as if you have already married into my family."
Even Shanna was still calling Jennie, Mrs. Mayfair not mother despite being engaged to Collin.
"You know what they say Luke, fake it until you make it, we must make it look as real as possible for them to believe we are together."
