Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 514 - 514: A different side of Collin.

The whisper of footsteps coming from the direction of the bedrooms snapped everyone's focus from Lydia. They figured immediately that Collin was on the move as he was the only person in the apartment capable of making such loud strong footsteps.

For some reason, Phoebe felt combative, as if she was about to fight some kind of war. She had this feeling that trouble was brewing, but what kind of trouble it was she had no idea.

Collin Baltimore whose head was lowered yawned loudly as he ventured into the living room. "Mother I heard voices...." he lifted his head, immediately he saw Phoebe and her companions, his expression hardened.

His jaw tightened and his eyebrows shifted slightly. In his eyes, Phoebe could detect annoyance or hostility, maybe a mix of both.

The spirit asked. "I am sure that you owe me a thank you which I will take after we sort out this mess. You made the right choice by choosing David over him, look at how he handles stress and pressure. More importantly, look at the way he is looking at you. With David, no matter how bad things got between you two in the past, he never gave you such a look." It spoke with moral superiority shaking its head in disapproval.

Not waiting for a response, he started walking towards the wine bar in the apartment.

His cold and sharp words rendered Phoebe speechless, she had never known him to be so discourteous. She held back her tongue and continued to watch him as he poured brandy into a glass and then he leveled his eyes to meet hers.

Phoebe took a deep breath, stopping herself from shooting the glass out of his hands. Connie was the important matter she had come to deal with.

"Baltimore, we need to talk about your sister." Maureen spoke up first, her voice carried authority veiled threat that made it clear she did not plan to play any games with him nor baby him around. "Do you want me to continue with this conversation with your mother here?" Her voice was deceptively soft, yet it continued to harbor a threat.

Lydia leaped from her seat; her eyes widened open with a glint of terror. "Cassie? Oh my goodness has something happened to her? What is it?" Her eyes darted around from one person to the other in
