Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

The question was met by silence, awkwardness enveloped everyone in the room. Suddenly, Jennie started to re-arrange the seating arrangement for the next party or dinner that she held. It was best to know who could not sit next to who and who to give less alcohol as they had a loose mouth.

[Is it wrong that I almost wish they would fight...heheheee]

Phoebe snickered and those that saw her thoughts shook their heads.

Miranda raised her brows and adjusted them to their original position. She had no plans of fighting and disgracing herself, so she answered rationally. "One, that is none of your business and a very inappropriate thing to say. Two, I can neither confirm nor deny the allegations, but I can assure you that I am proud of my daughter and love her." She hailed for the server to add more wine to her glass.

"Oh my God mother just tell them already after all I married the father of the baby." Rose-bell rolled the eyes, she was a very open-minded person, one that was not shackled by the norms and traditions of the founding society and some of their hypocritical families.

Anna sipped more whiskey, shaking her head in disapproval. "If that ever happens in my family all hell will break loose, we are taught from childhood to protect our chastity with our lives until marriage." Her voice was effortlessly smooth.

"Speaking of marriage, how far have the preparations gone? These children should have been married a long time ago. I do not know what the problem is." Grandpa Lee sliced through his medium rare stake slowly.

Grandma Mayfair looked at the two problematic women that had delayed the wedding. "The mothers are always the problem because their ideas keep clashing. Perhaps we should just get an external wedding planner and get this done with." She suggested.

"What? Old lady Mayfair, how can you make such a suggestion?" Anna's eyes widened. She looked at grandma Mayfair as if the old woman had betrayed her greatly.

She considered the words as an insult because she had the best wedding planning company for the rich and wealthy in Fog country. Who else could plan her daughter's wedding if not her?

"The budget was twenty-five million, then it was increased to thirty and then fifty. Today, we are at one hundred million. As much as both of our families have money, I do not think a one hundred-million-dollar wedding is a sensible thing. Do you know how much good that money can do for all the less fortunate this in this weather?" Old Mayfair shared another of her opinion.

Both mothers looked down, a slight flicker of guilt struck them.

"We can adjust the budget." Jennie mumbled.

Anna Lee nodded as well, as suddenly for the first time, they agreed on something, but that peace did not last long and both women narrowed their eyes at each other. No matter what the budget was, their ideas would still clash.

Miranda on the other hand blinked rapidly. "A winter wedding? You cannot be serious! How is that supposed to turn out, forget that maybe in the spring." She chomped on some vegetables, unbothered about the budget size.

"This wedding would have happened a long time ago if only Miranda did not argue about each and everything. Even in spring, I am very sure that she will complain about something else like maybe waiting until the flowers bloom, tsk." Anna's face flushed with exasperation.

Just before Miranda couldn't counter her words, Collin dropped the cutlery onto his plate with a loud clang. He said nothing even though all the attention was now on him, instead he wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Edward cleared his horse throat and then said, "Since the ladies cannot come to an agreement, we gentlemen have talked things over. The wedding will happen next week on the weekend. Alfie and I will handle everything, the children do not want anything extravagant they just want to be married." His tone was smooth yet authoritative.

"I cannot agree more." Grandpa Lee concurred.

Displeased, the former wedding planners locked gazes and looked away from each other as if they were permanent enemies that could not stand sitting at the same table.

"Thank God that is out of the way, now what about you Boyd?" Grandma Mayfair stared at Mr. Alton. "Why is it taking you too long to propose? My daughter is not getting any younger, the quality of her eggs keeps diminishing with each passing day. The sooner you marry her the better." She croaked.

"Mother!" Edward exclaimed immediately.

Rose-Bell choked on wine and Phoebe gasped. Even though older people in society were fond of blurting out things candidly, this was a little too extreme.

[For heaven's sake nana, you need to chill, or aunt will move back to Hartoum.]

Old Lady Mayfair decided that she had not said enough and decided to add more to her words. "I am being truthful because none of them is getting any younger. No matter how good they look, Boyd is pushing fifty and Maureen is halfway into her forties. If you two have plans to have children, now is the time to get on it. I don't have many active babysitting years left in me so you must take advantage of me while my old bones are still active."

Maureen could not believe that her mother was airing her business out there for the entire world to listen. She had no plans of marrying Boyd Alton, not until she had the man figured out.

"Mother please! Let him be, let me be. I prefer the situation that Phoebe and David have." She gave her boyfriend an apologetic gaze.

"No,no,no Maureen I want to marry you, I want you to become my wife soon." Mr. Alton declared strongly and surprised everyone by pulling out a ring from the pocket of his shirt.

Maureen gasped in a mix of shock and disbelief. They had only dated for three months, and he wanted her to be his wife? The man that could not let go of his old wife three months ago!!! Someone was crazy and it was not her.

Jennie's thoughts were on board with Maureen's, and she pulled her brows into a frown. "So soon? I mean shouldn't you date a little bit more? Alton are you sure that you want to marry Maureen?" She seemed more worried for him than her sister in-law.

Jennie was sure that sooner or later, Maureen would be back to her life of wandering around the world. Any man she married would be abandoned like a lonely unwanted old sock.

Grandma Mayfair cast Jennie a piercing look. "What do you mean by that? David wanted to marry Phoebe before knowing who she was. He saw her in his dreams and decided that she was the one for him. Maureen and Alton have been dating for three months. I have a good feeling about this just say yes to the man already." She pressured.

Maureen froze, she did not know what to say. Boyd Alton was looking at her with eyes all filled with hope. No matter, Maureen felt uncomfortable about the situation. Before she could respond, he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger.
