"I know space magic. I can blink to your location any time I want to. So tell me if you want me to come over."
Zach couldn't believe a word of what she said and assumed that she was joking with him. Although he wasn't from this world, he still remembered from his conversations with Luna about how rare space magic was. Moreover, Christina was a light elemental mage and a mage couldn't have two elements in this world.
Still, he didn't want to douse her cheerful spirit and chatted with her with similar excitement in his voice.
"Then why didn't you come over earlier if you could do such a thing? Come over this very instant."
Zach didn't actually believe it when he said it but the happiness and anticipation in his voice said otherwise.
"Then turn around; my hero."
Zach turned around instinctively as he heard the magical voice penetrate his ears from the phone.
The moment he did, every cell in his body froze like the temperature of the environment had fallen to absolute zero and even time stopped.
In the slowed world there were only two individuals and the rest of the world was covered in a haze that steered everything other than the two towards the outskirts to be ignored.
Zach could see Christina waving at him from afar and fell into a trance unknowingly. His eyes opened to unimaginable extent and widened in surprise as he tried to blink the illusion away but no matter what he did, the image of Christina in his eyes didn't even flicker. It remained solid just like reality.
A long time passed before Zach came back to his senses and took a careful look at the approaching figure.
Christina was running at the speed of the bullet as she slammed into his chest with all the weight of her body behind her.
Zach almost keeled over from the force of the impact and barely managed to stabilize his footing as he hugged Christina back who was smiling foolishly in happiness. At the same time, he wondered how a super smart woman like Christina could act so fluffy.
The servants stationed around the entrance of the Windsor family estate couldn't help but wrinkle their noses at the happily hugging couple. They felt extremely dissatisfied considering the fact that this young man was supposed to be the fiancée of their young lady Clara.
Christina noticed the annoying looks she was receiving but she couldn't care less about any of them. She was too busy inhaling Zach's scent as she applied more force to get even closer to him. She looked like she wanted to enter Zach's body and share it with him based on the amount of force she was applying to pull him into a fierce hug.
Zach was slightly taken aback by Christina's enthusiasm as well. The last time they had parted, Christina was still acting like a well groomed lady. Thinking back, Zach felt that it was probably because she was injured at the time that she had let him off easy.
He couldn't have known that distance truly made the heart grow fonder. Christina had missed him so much during this time that her feelings for him had grown beyond liking and affection.
Bruce watched the two reunite and let out a sigh of relief. His soul had been on tenterhooks the whole way as he thought of how to explain the current scenario to Christina and Zach but things seemed to have resolved themselves easily.
But before Bruce could rest easy, he saw another girl huffing in anger as she walked towards Zach and Christina with heavy footsteps that caused the ground to crack with every step.
He wanted to smack his face for being born with bad luck. Just as one trouble resolved itself, another made its appearance in the timeliest manner.
The approaching earthquake was none other than Clara the supposed most recent fiancée of Zach that even he didn't know anything about.
Bruce rushed towards Clara and tried to get between Clara and Christina but the force being released by Clara made it impossible for Bruce to interfere. He was being blown back by raw force.
Clara waved her hand and Bruce was cleanly pushed out of her path as she established line of sight with Christina and Zach's clinging bodies.
Clara already knew that Zach had a wife but Diana was the only woman he supposedly had. She had already compromised with Zach for having a wife before her but she wasn't willing to allow him to be a philanderer while being in a relationship with her.
She wanted to establish her position as his fiancée and pull the girl clinging to Zach apart with enough force to shake all her organs but she barely held herself back so as to allow Zach to explain himself.
"WHO IS THIS WOMAN?"
Clara screamed in anger as she questioned Zach with indignation visible in her watery eyes. Her body swayed as if her legs were about to fail her but she somehow managed to keep herself upright.
Christina finally let go of Zach's neck once she saw a random woman shouting at Zach. She felt the need to establish her position as Zach's wife.
"I am his wife. Who are you to talk to my husband in such a manner?"
Christina raged on Clara as well and at the same time turned her head towards Zach in order to ask him the same thing.
"Who is this little girl?"
Zach was dumbfounded at the play taking place in front of him. If the main character of this play wasn't him, he would have sat down with some popcorn to witness the fun. The story was playing out in such a fine manner that even he had to admire his bad luck.
"I should be the one asking, 'What is going on?'." Zach thought in his head before remaining silent to think and grasp the situation first.
