Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 465: Fertile but no baby
[Shit!!! he actually proposed and had a ring ready. What the hell!! Old me would be happy for aunt but now I have some reservations. He is a good guy according to supernatural research but...]
Phoebe's incomplete thought left those that had seen it a little unsatisfied. Andre for example wanted to shake his sister and ask what she was leaving out.
More than the Mayfair's, David seemed concerned about the new guy that was about to become his uncle in-law. If there was something about him which was troubling Phoebe, he wanted to handle it.
He leaned towards Phoebe and asked. "What do we really know about this guy? I don't trust his quick proposal; he might be up to something. I am going to run a background check on him. If he is messing around with aunt Maureen, I am going to shave off his kneecaps." His wary stare remained fixed on Mr. Alton who seemed to have blended into the family already.
David had only come to know him of recent but here he was already popping marriage proposals. If the man was not down to earth, he would have written him off as a gold digger taking advantage of old lady Mayfair's blind desire to see her daughter married at all costs.
"Come down tiger, do not shave any kneecaps just yet. I did a reading on him and discovered he is a good man, faithful and loyal. He seems to be a good match for aunt but he seemed unable to let go of the past initially. Apparently, he is overcoming that now which is a good thing, I guess. I am just not too comfortable with the rushed proposal; people don't just erase their obsession for dead spouses in three to four months. " Phoebe massaged her knuckles. Her eyes followed Boyd around the room.

The dinner party had split into groups because of the proposal or desire to have personal conversations.
She excused herself to join the Lee sisters, they seemed to be engrossed in a deep conversation, upon seeing Phoebe approach they went silent.
"Everything alright?" Phoebe asked, she could swear that she could see moisture in Shanna's eyes.
As Shanna's sister-in-law, she was not comfortable with seeing tears in Shanna's eyes. Who had the heart to harm the owner of those precious beautiful blue eyes?
Minka sneered and mumbled. "Well, it seems that some people are more favored by the heavens than the others. I have been trying to get pregnant for three years...." her voice trailed off as a lump formed in her throat.
Shanna only remained silent; her remorseful gaze met that of her sisters. "Minka it is not your fault." Her voice escaped as a faint murmur.
Minka snapped at Shanna out of anger, "Tell that to mother and father or the entire Lee clan. Do you think that I do not know that I have become a laughingstock in the family. Three years! three fucking years!!! Some people do it once and get pregnant why do I have to endure such pain and humiliation?" A tear rolled down Minka's cheek.
To an extent Phoebe felt like Minka's last words were directed towards her, she and David had been together only once, and she became pregnant. Suddenly, Phoebe started to realize why Minka was fond of the bottle__, drinking was her way of escaping the pain she was suffering.
Phoebe winced lightly. "Maybe I can be of some help Minka, I have helped many women conceive with my herbs. How about we try them and see or perhaps you could let me do a reading and see if there is a negative energy that is preventing you from conceiving."
Her eyes shifted to where George Osbourne, Minka's husband was sitting, the female ghost that she had seen following them at the courthouse floated around him possessively.
Immediately, Minka dried her tears with the frown on her face vanishing. "Really? Can you help me have a baby? I have been to every specialist in the country and more than a few abroad.
The reports are all the same, George and I are in good health. We keep being told to wait and it will happen, but nothing has happened. If you can help us, I will forever be grateful. Truthfully, I wanted to tell George that we should seek out your help, but I was not sure that he would go for it.
George's family does not believe in shamans or things like that. His parents have labeled me infertile, and his sisters even came home asking that the marriage be annulled." Minka held onto Phoebe's hand for dear life.
"Annulment? Is that not going too far?" Phoebe asked, she further released a scoff.
Shanna clucked her tongue. "They claim that since the marriage had failed to be fruitful means that it was invalid from the beginning. Mrs. Osbourne said that it is always the woman's fault if the couple fails to have children. You should have seen them with their righteous attitudes, arrogantly accusing our Lee family of giving them an infertile hen. Minka brought out the test reports, but they tore them all up and claimed they were fake; those Osbourne's are very irrational people." She twisted her nose in disgust.
She shot her sister a look that was a mixture of apology and defiance after all, Minka's beloved husband was an Osbourne. Almost everyone on the lane knew Minka loved Osbourne, some even knew that she had been the one that went on one knee and proposed to him.
She had been the one to plan a surprise proposal and sweep him off his feet. Her love for him was as blind as a moth to a flame, oblivious to the danger yet irresistibly drawn to the light.
Minka sighed, she could not fault Shanna or any other member of their Lee family for their attitudes towards the Osbourne's.
"It is my fault, grandfather warned me about marrying into that family but i insisted and even threatened to run away with him. I love George but lately I have come to realize that love alone is never enough to sustain a marriage. I am turning into an alcoholic day by day and losing my mind. Who knew that marriage could break a person?" Minka let out a weary sigh, she tired of holding onto a marriage that was about to break anytime.
Getting pregnant was the last hope they had as a couple and Phoebe Mayfair was now her only and last hope. If it did not work out with her, it was time to wrap up the marriage.
Phoebe put a hand on Minka's back, gently comforting the woman with some energy and light pats. Her statement about marriage breaking a person was relatable. Indeed, love alone did not always sustain the marriage.
The spirit was with them, and it said to Phoebe, "How much are you willing to bet that whatever problems they are facing that ghost has a lot to do with it, see how it is lusting after George Osbourne. It keeps licking and kissing him, maybe it even sleeps with him at night!" It shook its head in disgust.
