Nia Mitchell furrowed her brows, already displeased at the thought of Charles Northwood having gone to the USA.
"He said he had work and had to go to the USA, so he celebrated our engagement in advance."
Although she had complained back then, she was particularly upset about his timing.

Although Charles Northwood's departure might have been because he harbored feelings for Nia, he wasn't sure.
