Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 354: Even the ghosts were scared.
Miranda’s face turned red, "Mother, what are you talking about? I was just worried about the children’s reputations. It is obvious what Margaret, and her slimy son are plotting. They want to ruin her so that no side wins if they don’t get her. If she is seen as a cheap immoral woman, father won’t let her marry David."
"He already approves of her." Grandma Saxon informed Miranda. "We all know that David and Phoebe are a couple, Dickson is trying to be a mistress. Even the three-year-old babies in our clan know this, don’t use talk about reputation to push for your own agenda."
Phoebe chortled at the reference of Dickson as a mistress, it could not have been more accurate.
They were joined by other Mayfair’s and a few more Saxons, David pulled Luke and Luna to the side for a word.
Phoebe wanted to follow but her father held her back. "We heard that David and Dickson fought, what happened?"

"It’s Dickson being up to his usual mischief, but David taught him a lesson. That sly boy is trying to ruin Phoebe’s reputation but no worries my in-laws, David will not allow it to happen." Miranda hurried to answer, propping her son up while pushing Dickson into the mud.
Jennie rolled her eyes, "Who is your in-law?" she muttered. "Sweetie, are you okay?"
Phoebe nodded, "Just hungry."
"Let’s go home then." Collin suggested, "I will send Shanna back first."
The couple left at the same moment as Luke and Luna and then David and Phoebe followed them, leaving their parents to follow slowly. The adults shared their thoughts on the auction, it had been more drama filled than they thought and ended in a fight between two Saxon brothers. The gossip mill was going to have a field day for sure.
In the car, David and Phoebe were also discussing the auction, the theft specifically.
"What do you think happened to the box?"
He asked and casually kissed the back of her hand for no reason. She noticed the bruises on his knuckles which were reddish purple.
"Why did you beat up Dickson all of a sudden, I don’t think I have ever seen you this angry?"
"He...." David opened his mouth and closed it. If he told her the truth, she would know that he had read her thoughts. He couldn’t risk it yet; her thoughts were the only way he got clues to what happened in their past.
He did not know that while he was away working to build and sustain the family business, his own cousin had been busy trying to prey on his wife. How many times had it happened? Why hadn’t anyone protected Phoebe if it was in the tower?
"Babe, I think you are going to break my bones." Phoebe winced.
He noticed that he was squeezing her hand a little too tightly and let go. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something unpleasant."
Phoebe massaged her hand, her stomach growled, and she moaned. "I am hungry." she muttered.
David drove straight to the supermarket because Phoebe’s hunger could not wait until they arrived at the Mayfair house. Inside she moved straight to the snack bar and picked out a beef burger with extra cheese and a canned soda which David paid for.
On her way out she noticed a ghost that she had seen a couple of times when she visited the place. It was the nearest supermarket to funding lane so a lot of residents of the lane visited it often.
The ghost was that of a young man ranging in the ages between twenty to twenty-four, he was sitting on the top of the large display refrigerator, his blank eyes staring helplessly at the customers that were busy shopping.
Phoebe always ignored him because he never asked for help but for some reason, she decided to do so today.
"Hello, shaman here, I can see you. Are you alright, why do you seem so sad? Is there something that I can help you with perhaps to help you move on or at least make you feel better?" She said, "Are you hungry?"
The ghost’s eyes shifted to look at her, a tiny spark returned to his eyes. "Can you see me lady? Is it me you are talking to?" He floated down and came to face her, his eyes became brighter by minute.
Nodding her head, Phoebe smiled compellingly at him. "Like I said, I am a shaman, i see ghosts so yes I can definitely see you." Her smile widened when the ghost made the sign of the cross and thanked the heavens.
"I have been here for a long time hoping that someone would see me but it has been so long, so I was beginning to lose hope." The ghost bounced repeatedly.
A tiny frown came to form on Phoebe’s face. "Why didn’t you go out in search of someone to help you, there so many shamans that have the ability to help you."
The ghost shuddered at the thought. "And run into a ghost catcher? No way! This place felt safe besides, I do not know what is out there what if I left and forgot where my body was? It doesn’t seem safe out there with all these demons lurking around."
His last words caught Phoebe’s interest. "What do you mean demons?" She arched an eyebrow. "Have you seen any around here?"
"One and it was in human form, I do not understand how that is possible, but I am certain it was a demon." The ghost moved its hands to hug itself. "I am not the only scared ghost around, I don’t want to stay here anymore but for that to happen I need my family to bury my body." It cast a desperate gaze towards Phoebe.
Her heart sank for him, although it was late and both she and David were tired, she wanted to hear him out.
"Babe, I think that we have a ghost situation." Phoebe told him
"It’s okay, I am good as long as you are." He wore an assuring smile. As they moved to the supermarket lounge area, David reached inside his tuxedo coat and scooped out a pair of ghost seeing glasses that Phoebe had gifted him.
"Okay tell me more." Phoebe took a deep bite into the burger.
The ghost belched; all he had been doing was eat since the snacks were always available. "Please excuse me." It begged before beginning to narrate. "Reid Fisher is...was my name, as you can tell from the vest coat that I am wearing, I was an employee at this place, I dedicated my entire life to ensure that I make my boss happy but that ungrateful man replaced me one day after I did not report to work. He did not bother to find out why I had not come to work yet I had never taken a day off in five years"
David folded his hands and leaned back. "You cannot blame him for that, business is business but still he should have at least cared a little."
Reid nodded. "I eventually understood that people at your workplace are nothing more that work mates." He added a scoff. "You should have heard the disgusting things the rest of them said about me and yet I was the one that covered for their shifts in their absence. They said that I worked hard just to discredit them and make them look lazy so that I could be employee of the month all the time." He shook his head, his mind still in disbelief.
Phoebe sighed softly, unsure about what to say to him, she figured the quicker she sent him off, the better. "Where is your body?"
"Behind the freezers." He spoke casually, there was no emotion in his voice at all.
