Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 406: Past insecurities
She had to put Eliza Grant’s business at the back of her mind, she had a date for which she needed to look her best, so she went directly to her apartment.
Her plan was to take a shower and dress up but when she opened the door, she noticed the lights were on. She believed instinctively that David was the person inside because other than her, he was the only other person that knew the code, not even her family members had that information.

The first surprise that was waiting for her inside was Sylvester, he had made a full recovery, and he was cleaning the house. From the thick aroma of delicious food that wafted in the air she figured that he had prepared a delicious meal as well
The second surprise which was not so much of one was David, he was standing not so far from the door with a bundle of nicely designed flowers; Lily’s breath in the colors of red to symbolize love, pink for romance, purple for beauty and yellow for happiness. He had clearly put a lot of thought in the floral arrangement, she wondered whether the compliments were his or the florist.
Seeing him standing there brought happiness to Phoebe, it was like a warm hug on a cold day. Her feet carried her to him before she could string her thoughts together and she rushed into his arms.
He had to raise them to keep her from squashing the flowers and when they separated, he handed her the floral bouquet.
"These are gorgeous babe, I love them. Where did you even get the time, you have been extremely busy today?" She took a moment to deeply inhale the fragrance that emanated from the flowers, appreciating the pleasant aroma. "What a silly question, you are a Saxon, they can be delivered to you, or you can send someone for them. I really, really love them."
A smile decorated her lips, she closed the small gap between them and planted a hot steamy kiss on his lips. Her hands went around his back and the flowers dropped to the floor, like a needy cat, she rubbed herself against him as the kiss deepened.
David pushed her away gently and stepped back, his eyes darkened with desire. "If you keep this up, I will not be able to restrain myself Pheebs." he warned.
The warning did not frighten her, it sent excitement through Phoebe’s veins instead. She wanted him to lose control and just do what he wanted, what they both wanted.
"Please I would like that very much." She twisted her waist and body in an arousing way to entice him but to her disappointment, David pulled even further away from her.
His action miffed her slightly this is what she disliked about him, treating her like butter that was about to melt. Did he not know that it made her feel undesirable or that it took her back to all the times in their marriage that she initiated intimacy, and he turned her down?
She clenched her hands, turned to Sylvester and asked about his health, it would be a good distraction and keep her from exploding. "Sylvester, you look better, your color has returned which means that you are fine, am I right?" She queried.

She waved her hand and the flowers which had fallen to the ground were elevated, flying straight to Sylvester.
He put them on the table next to the crystal vase while answering her question. "Yes boss, I am in perfect health now and I will not be volunteering to be a lab rat ever again." Sylvester let out an uneasy laugh. "That bullet almost ended me, I think I saw the light and it terrified me. I almost died boss." He shuddered at the thought.
Phoebe’s upper lip curled upwards, she looked at the ghost and nearly laughed. He was already dead; he could not die again.
David who was pouring champagne into a glass, pulled his brows together. "Did I miss something?" Why had a ghost been shot by a bullet and almost died when it was already dead? He raised the glass to meet his lips, his eyes went straight to Phoebe, the only other human in the room.
She cleared her throat and sat on the edge of the table. "A lot actually but you have been saving the world from disease so I will catch you up to speed. First, we successfully made magic bullets and Sylvester here was the test subject." She paused and bit back laughter when David gasped loudly.
"Magic bullets!" he exclaimed.
Phoebe nodded, they can kill humans and supernatural creatures, it will save me from having to pull out talismans all the time when I am in a fight with a monster.
David’s champagne holding hand moved in the direction of Sylvester, "You tested them on him, that sounds very dangerous to me."
"I was not on board, he volunteered for it to score merit points and yes it was dangerous but look at him now, he is the same old Sylvester. He survived it, you do not need to worry about now. Second, or in other news, your ex is back in town." She casually spoke like she was not bothered about it at all.
Perplexed, David rested the glass on the table, he wondered whom of the women he had dated in the past had made it onto Phoebe’s radar to be recognized as his ex. She once pointed out that she disregarded all of them and she saw herself as his first woman. "Ex?"
Flipping her hair, she smiled wryly. "Moria Mortimer." She made her fingers dance and said the name dramatically as if it was the name of some mysterious ghost.
She laughed, to ease whatever tension that was developing rather quickly. Her boyfriend was not too happy to learn that Moria had found a way to reach Phoebe.
David waved his hand in a nonchalant way. "Oh her? So, what if she is back that has nothing to do with me. That one barely qualifies to be my ex, I never dated her or did anything to make her think that I was interested in her ever." His nonchalant tone made her happy deep within. "I never held her hand, kissed or hugged her."
"She was your publicly acknowledged fiancé, David." Phoebe stated, her brows lifted, and her eyes remained pinned on him.
In response he shrugged dismissively. "A fiancé that was not my choice but that of my grandfather. It was a choice that I believe was very selfish of him because you cannot decide such things for other people.
They did not know how I would turn out, or how Moria and what Moria would grow into, and she grew into a horrible person. Anyway, I decided to end the engagement, and she begged me to let her be the one to do it because she did not want her dignity to be trampled on." He smiled reassuringly which was obvious to her that he had no idea what Moria was planning.
"Anyway, forget Moria and everything else, I switched off my phone an hour ago and I suggest that you do the same because we are going on a staycation, just you and I." He announced.
