Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 526: What did baby Star know?
The hairs at the back of Phoebe's neck stood up, she heard never heard of search a theory before. Then again, she was new to the supernatural world so there was not much that she knew. Despite this shortcoming, she had done ample research into Ravana and the demons, reading as many books as possible that the Saxon spirit recommended.
This was something that was not in any of the books and it was likely that the guardians were not aware of it. Before she could reveal it to the rest of the team, she had to consult with the Saxon spirit first.
Phoebe did not understand why she was hearing about this for the first time. Could it be that the spirit did not know and how did baby Star know about it then? Why did Star seem to be as knowledgeable or maybe even more knowledgeable than the Saxon spirit? A storm of questions raged in her head.
"Star, is there something you need to share with mommy?"
She got no response from the baby, and she could not question more because they arrived outside the gates of the tower.
"We are here." David announced just as Santos turned off the engine. "I believe that my grandparents are yet to have dinner, we should join them." He spoke as he opened the door for Phoebe to step out of the car.
Phoebe's eyes moved around, she inhaled the cold air and pulled her jacket closer around her body. "I swear that I can never get used to coming back to this place." A whisper of her thoughts escaped her lips.
Pulling her close, David's arm snug against the curve of her hip. "Honestly, I am not fond of this place either especially with everything that we went through in our last life." He murmured but his words were heard by Maureen.
"And what exactly did you two go through? As long as I am aware the two of you have never lived here." She adjusted her winter coat, finding a thrill in making them uncomfortable. "Or have you?" She smiled mischievously.
In that moment, she resembled Andre a lot.
Maureen put her hands behind her back, acting an old detective pondering on a matter while questioning suspects. "Perhaps in your past lives or something like that?" She continued to taunt them with her questions.
Being that he was quick witted, David realized that there was a possibility of Maureen having seen Phoebe's thoughts regarding the matter and he figured it was best to come clean. Maureen was a bloodhound, and she had been digging into Phoebe's life for months now.
Mostly, he decided to come clean because he thought Phoebe could finally have someone to talk to about the things she did not share with him.
He kept in mind that Maureen was a powerful guardian, she could protect Phoebe from some of the dangers they faced in their last life.
"Oh you are spot on aunt Maureen, we were married in our past lives, and it ended in tragedy because of Ruth Mayfair or should I say Gabriel and some other people that plotted against us from the beginning."
"David!" Phoebe exclaimed, disbelief engulfed her. "You cannot just let such things spew out of your mouth or else you will end up in a mental asylum and I know because I have been there. Even if she believes you, what if she asks you for the lottery winning numbers for Gumball next week? Please consult me next time after all both our lives are affected by such big reveals." Her tone was sharp as she scolded him.
"I am sorry my darling but believe me when I tell you that your aunt had caught on already and she is simply trying to trick us." David chuckled ruefully.
Maureen paused midway her step. "Wait a minute, so it true? I figured it out on my own, but I still wanted to hear it from you. Does this mean you know about the discoveries that are to happen in the near future? About those lottery tickets maybe we should talk....." She kept hot on David's tail, encircling her arm in his.
Her nagging statements compelled Phoebe to let out a guttural growl, she was never going to hear the end of this.
"I don't need the money; I just want the feeling of being a lottery winner." Maureen whined.
"No." David and Phoebe rejected her.
"Just one win, I will donate the money to your orphanage." She spoke with a plea in her voice.
"No." They rejected her again.
"Aunt, if the opportunity falls on you, another person will lose out. I worked on a case where a man killed himself the day before he won the lottery. You should have seen the sadness in his eyes. That win changed the lives of his brother and his family. Some people need the money desperately." Phoebe explained.
They arrived at the first floor of the tower and met the two elders. Just like they anticipated, Rufus requested them to join him in the dining area. Maureen was the most thrilled for she was famished.
"This is delicious Catarina, you should come and work for us at Mayfair manor." Maureen took another bite of the freshly baked butter bread.
Miranda rolled her eyes. "The chefs may have cooked but these are all my recipes and besides it was I that came up with the menu." She gestured at Catarina to fill up the basket with more butter bread. "You should try this with some tomato soup."

Miranda was not confident in many things but when it came to cooking, she was at the top of her game. If the Saxon group had been in the food business, Miranda believed that she could have competed for the spot of president.
"I am surprised to see you here Maureen, what business do you have with my father. Phoebe is my daughter in-law, so her presence is not shocking but you! You have never been one to visit this tower willingly except for when you wanted to engage in some mischief." Robert raised a glass of wine to his lips. "Whatever you are up to, I hope that you don't give my father a heart attack."
Old man Rufus stopped his son. "She is my guest, I invited her Robert, and you are being rude."
More people joined them at the table, and most were polite to Phoebe. They crossed their fingers and hoped that she kept her thoughts about them to herself. It was good when she saved their lives but when she started thinking about their less than appropriate love lives or who was sleeping with a maid and who was hiding a bastard outside, it was a different story.
Thanks to her however, three children had been found and returned to the tower. All this time, the fathers had no clue about their existence because their mothers constantly dyed their hair and hid them. Saxon blood was not allowed to be raised outside.
Rufus's eyes moved around the dining area, studying the faces of all those that were present. "And where is Margaret and this special friend of hers that she said that she would be introducing to the family tonight?" His question was directed to his wife who managed the affairs of the house.
