Xander felt shocked and nervous at those moments, he could not fully explain his reaction to what Carina said.
'Why? Why now? ' he frowned while looking at her. Carina could not look at him directly.
'B-Because ... I want to live my life without any guilt and regrets. I want to live normally as other does. ' she answers. Xander could not open his mouth too much because he knew Carina was also hurt by what was happening.
He slowly walked towards her. 'I'm sorry. Let's not tell them right now, It's Anna's day. I don't want to ruin it. Let's just skip this day, after this, we can tell them ourselves.' he utters and hugged Carina. Carina looked at him.
'Alright. We can tell them after this day. Promise me.' she utters and handed her small finger towards Xander. They pink promise to each other. Xander smiles at her, and they went back to the party. Anna was talking to Andrea and Dreb while others were eating.
