MILA'S POV
I wasn't happy about the fact that we could be having such a wonderful time together and then the atmosphere just changes the moment Carter's family is brought up. I understood him, and I knew he was pained but he was also causing me pains. I had tried my best to hold back the tears that had clogged my eyes during dinner. The moment he left, all my appetite had disappeared and I just quietly walked back to my room. Peggy had tried to talk to me but it was of no use. Her brother had already succeeded in ruining the night.
To think that I had pleaded with him to atleast stay back and finish his meal, but he hadn't bothered to oblige my pleas. The pain hit different because I had been so kin on having dinner with him. I practically refused Peggy from eating until he had returned
