Zachery awoke from his trance when he saw Amy rush up to him and hug him. She was always this way. Amy was always overly pleasant whenever Zachery met her. Then, using words, give Zachery a few more jabs.
She was the main reason Zachery's life went downhill. Zachery had no idea how the rumor of Amy cheating on Zachery with Leon had spread throughout the school classmates after the prom.
As a result of his sadness, his mental health deteriorated. Because of Leon's father's influence, he was expelled from high school. He was rejected from colleges.
He had a wretched life after that.
Overall, his life had devolved into a shambles. Remembering all of it, and seeing Amy have the audacity to try to hug him, caused his emotions to erupt.
But he kept his emotions in check. He couldn't be upset right now. That would be a waste of time and would completely destroy Edda's birthday.
He didn't want Edda's last day of normalcy and her birthday to be wrecked by some b*tch and his errors in the past.
Yes, he did play a role in this NTR. Zachery was not an idiot as a teenager; he could tell something was wrong with Amy by the way she acted. But because of his good guy syndrome and his lack of spine at the time.
He didn't look into it any further. He was also falling in love with the b*tch. So, give Zachery a break.
"Zachery!" Amy grinned as she attempted to embrace Zachery.
"Oh, Oh, Oh, Let's just keep our distance, all right?" Zachery said this while holding her shoulders and holding her at arm's length.
Amy squinted her blue eyes and frowned. She gazed at Zachery, puzzled by his behaviour. She'd met with him a few times with Leon. Zachery was as spineless as he had always been.
She was always sympathetic to Zachery, but she also enjoyed taunting him. Okay, it was a little callous, but this man was so cowardly that everyone picked on him.
But the same man who refused to make eye contact with her was now keeping her at arm's length.
That irritated her.
Zachery took his hands off her shoulders and grinned amicably. On the inside, though, he was repulsed to the extreme by his repulsometer. He didn't like her at all. Because of his partial incarnation, all of his love had been shattered.
Helena was one of the reasons. When his relationship with Helena began, he prophesied that she would also cheat on him in the same way that every other girl had.
He had accepted that he had some fault in his character that would cause his partner to cheat(Don't ask me how he came to that stupid conclusion.) on him.
But Helena was ideal for him. He later realized it wasn't his fault. It was his fault, and that fault was...
Bad taste in women.
He began to feel better after realising this. His mental health gradually improved as he developed a steady personality... most of the time.
This insight, in any case, was one of the things that had been etched into his consciousness when the partial incarnation occurred.
[Seeing her face makes me want to vomit.] Alexa said this while acting as if she was about to vomit.
"Hey! Zach!" Leon was the one this time. Zachery clenched his teeth tightly, suppressing his rage and disdain. Leon extended his arms in greeting.
And Zachery was going to reject Leon's hugging too, but he changed it at the last moment.
He hugged Leon.
"So, going to have a coffee?"
"Well, Le-"
"Hahaha, funny joke, have fun!" Zachery cut her off with a phony laugh and pushed her away. He smiled at Amy one final time and sat at his table, sighing as he thought he left the danger.
"So, what's up, Zach?" He may have said or thought too quickly.
Leon was clothed fully in black. Leon stormed in and took a seat across from Edda and Zachery. If there was an Earthling on this planet, he would shout that this man was a carbon copy of Harry Osborn.
Zachery merely sighed at the end. He didn't say anything because Edda was seated by his side.
"Oww, princess, who are you?" Leon grinned at Edda.
"Hello, my name is Edda!" Edda introduced herself to Leon and Amy with an innocent grin. Zachery simply sat back and let things happen as they did.
He didn't want to upset Edda. As a result, he remained silent.
"So, where is your mother, Edda?" Amy joked.
"Oh, sorry, I believe your mother is with another man, right, Zachery?" Amy shook her head, as though saddened by the reality.
Zachery clinched his hand in frustration after including Edda in this, but he didn't show it on his face. Edda gave an uneasy smile, not knowing what to do.
Her father would never reveal the reason for her mother's divorce from his father. Her father had always tried to keep her out of their argument.
"But I like my Dad better!" Edda said, attempting to lighten the mood around the table.
"Oh, Darling, I was like that at first," Amy said, leaving off the remainder of the statement.
Zachery had had enough of it and handed Edda his phone and the headphones he had in his pocket. "Can you do Daddy a favor, Edda?"
Edda shook her head wildly because she didn't want to disappoint her father. She was aware that the lady sitting across from her father was mocking him. But because she didn't understand what was going on, she simply obeyed her father.
"Use this headset to listen to your favorite music in full sound, okay?" Zachery smiled as he double-checked everything.
He made certain that she couldn't hear anything outside. He sat back and leaned back. Amy began to speak up.
"Getting her a Hea-"
"Leon is fucking your mother."
