Mia had to admit that she was afraid to see Quentin due to guilt.
During the time she and William were separated, her parents were pressuring her to get married soon.
Wanting a fresh start and still angry with William, she agreed to her parents' urging and met with Quentin.

In the end, without consulting her parents, she called off the wedding with Quentin. Of course, she explained her reasons to him.
Quentin said nothing at the time and wished her well in a gentlemanly manner.
Now that she was married to William, facing Quentin brought not only guilt but also a sense of awkwardness.
