Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 357: About the box.

David leaned back to rest on the chair back rest. "My parents have no hold over me anymore since I quit the Saxon group, and I already moved out of the tower. I will move in here in a heartbeat if Phoebe wants us to live here."

A Saxon willing to leave the tower and live with his wife’s family!! It was unheard of, and it was proof of just how determined David was to win Phoebe over and prove how much he loved her.

Luna, Andre, Luke and Jennie all had one question on their minds, what kind of portion had Phoebe fed David to make him that crazy about her? A Saxon moving in with another family was a big deal, even their daughters and granddaughter’s husbands moved into the tower.

It was a privilege to live in that tower, every year the Saxon tower was voted most beautiful place to live in Citrus city.

"He is insane." Aunt Maureen muttered as she looked at David through bewildered eyes.

Collin just nodded, accepting that David had changed into a better man. It was time to give him a chance and forget the past and besides, at the end of the day it was Phoebe’s decision.

Grandma Mayfair sighed heavily. "I do not think that Rufus would even care since he is going to be preoccupied with finding that box that disappeared." she released another sigh.

The teacup that was on its way to David’s lips only came halfway before he gently placed it back on the table, it was bothering him as well and Roxanne, as good as she was could not find anything wrong in the footage they had acquired.

If a human had snatched the box, Roxanne would have made out their shape on that stage but there was nothing, the box just vanished in the midst of the darkness.

"The thief was very strategic, all this seemed to be meticulously planned out, the people were not wrong to suspect that it was an inside job. I think Rex did it, no one fits the bill better than him." David suggested.

Phoebe let out a tiny dry cough, all this talk about the stolen box was bothering her.

[I feel terrible too especially because I know who took it but I can’t tell.] She raised her brows and lowered them.

She drunk her milk tea preferring not to give her opinion on the matter.

Her thoughts were seen by Edward and David who were looking at her, they both said nothing at that moment, but Edward wanted to know more while David felt a tinge of betrayal that Phoebe had not told him, it was not like he was going to run to his grandfather and tell him.

Did she not trust him still after all this time? On the other hand, he wondered who could have taken the box, obviously it had to be ghost related. Was it Zephyra, she was his number one suspect because Phoebe did not seem to be panicked when she heard that the box had disappeared at the auction.

In fact, if anything, when she heard about it Phoebe seemed relieved, she had not mentioned the box at all since that auction, not even once which was unusual because she was the curious type. The normal Phoebe would be sniffing around like a dog, looking for clues.

The talk about the disappeared box continued with everyone airing out their opinions except for the one who knew where it was and those that now knew about the one with the true knowledge.

Once breakfast was done, David left for the Saxon tower but first he told Phoebe that he was going to meet Arrow such that he could exchange the crown of the lord of the night for the amulet of serene thought which he planned to give his mother.

Even though his heart was uncomfortable, still he said nothing about the box but only kissed her lips lightly and left the Mayfair house.

Phoebe had plans of her own too but before setting off she went to her father’s study; he had requested to have a word with her before she left the house.

The door of her father’s study was partially open, so she let herself in. As she entered Oman was leaving, the butler gave her a smile.

"Have a good morning young Miss." Oman offered a light bow

"Good morning to you Oman, did you get a haircut?" She stopped and smiled back at him.

Oman’s face turned red which surprised Phoebe, he touched his head and nodded.

"Wow, no wonder you look extra handsome today Oman." She teased.

The butler laughed and walked away; he was actually pleased by the interaction. In the whole family, Phoebe was the only one that ever noticed little things like this. She cared about the servants in her own way, lately Maria’s cat was gaining weight because she was buying it expensive cat food.

All the maids had received secret bonuses from her, she had even given them clothes and shoes and peace pendants and amulets.

Every once in a while, she gave them spiritual advice, she had even reminded Rita, one of the maids to take her mother to the hospital for a full body exam. As it turned out, her mother had cancer, first stage and she now receiving treatment.

It was safe to say that she was everyone’s favorite in the house.

Phoebe closed the door and looked at her father, she was prepared to act coquettish as usual until she noticed that his face was slightly more stern than usual.

"Bad news?" She asked as she settled on the couch.

Edward pushed back the office chair and moved to join her on the couch, a soft smile making sure to grow on his lips to replace the frown.

"Nothing for you to worry about." he scratched the front of his hair, hesitating and contemplating on how to deliver his question.

For a quick-witted person like her, it didn’t take her long to notice that something was bothering him. "Father what is it, if you are hesitant then I know the matter concerns me. Have I upset you perhaps?" She replayed the memories of the past few days, there was nothing there that she had done that could upset him.

Phoebe reached to touch his hand. "Is it the Dickson issue? Do not worry father I will handle it....."

Her words were cut short when her father shook his head. "No sweetheart that’s not it....I wanted to ask you about this missing box." Edward paused to scan her face.

Instinctively she pulled her eyes and hand away from him, giving herself away immediately that she knew something however she was planning to deny having knowledge of anything because the truth was complicated.

"Father why would you think that I would know anything about that box, I was in the rest rooms when it disappeared." she replied, her defensiveness giving her away again.

Edward was not expecting her to come out clean out rightly, but neither was he expecting her to lie so naturally. He figured that she had important reasons as to why she had decided to protect whoever stole the box. But who was this thief that his daughter needed to protect them so much?

He was part of the council, and the council was under fire regarding this theft, he was torn between his duty and his desire for the truth.
