Hayden's mood fell due to Mia's words because he never expected her to act in the way she did, but he tried to feign strong, “What the hell is wrong with her? I and Zenos were a thing before I met her.” Hayden declared angrily.
“What did you expect her to do when she has been in love with you for all this while? We all expected you to be the real deal,” Caleb replied, deadpan.
“I didn't ask her to fall in love with me! I warned her repeatedly, and the same was true on my birthday; why is she pushing the blame on me? I was always honest.” Hayden explained, but he paused when he saw Simon's actions.
Simon kept on stealing several glances at the cold-looking Zenos before he looked back at Hayden while scratching his head. “No matter how I see it, I feel like I have seen him before, but I just couldn't remember where or when.”
Simon revealed this while looking at Zenos again. Zenos raised his head to meet Simon's eyes, but Simon quickly looked away.
