His Charming Smile novel Chapter 2

Though Harry was sometimes impulsive and a little full of himself, it was the first time he lost his temper like this.

"I guess he doesn't love me as much as I thought, nor is he accepting of my past," thought Daphne.

Though her lips were shuddering, Daphne stubbornly refused to back down and stared at Harry.

No one, not even herself, knew what had happened a year ago. Yet, Daphne had just been told that she was no longer a virgin and even had a child before. She was utterly surprised by the news, so how was she supposed to explain it?

"Forget about getting married?" Harry's face was red. His expression was one of sadness and melancholy.

The girl, whom he had deeply loved for seven years, had long belonged to another man and borne a child for that man instead.

His self- esteem and pride were trampled under her feet.

He was such a proud man, so how could he ever allow such a thing to happen?

"Ah!" Harry was so upset but he had nowhere to vent it. Suddenly, he turned his body sideways and punched the wall!

"Daphne Goodwin, don't you dare to say those words again!"

Harry glared at Daphne and clenched his teeth tightly. He couldn't bear the thought that she was dumping him after she had cheated on him.

Daphne’s heart ached as she looked into Harry's eyes, which were filled with anguish and sadness.

The heartache she felt seemed to be spreading outwards and filling her entire chest.

It hurt a lot.

"I suppose he does love me, doesn’t he?" thought she.

However, though he loved her, he did not trust her.

What was the point of marrying him if he didn' t trust her?

Daphne had a look of stubbornness in her eyes. She slowly opened her mouth and said coldly, "Harry, let's break up."

Daphne was still in a daze when she opened her eyes. She finally realised that she had been dreaming again when she saw where she was—her bedroom.

"Be serious! I heard from your dad that you are not working the afternoon shift. So, hurry up, go shopping, and doll up. Don't you dare to wear your doctor's coat like you did last time and scare off your date. I've got to tell you that your date was recommended by your dad's old friend. I heard that he's the perfect bachelor, so cherish this opportunity..."

"Alright, mom. I'll do as you say and buy myself a new outfit now." Daphne hurriedly hung up. She wasn't ready to listen to her mom nagging for half an hour.

She rested her head in one hand and thought to herself, "I’m only 26 years old. Yet, mom already sees me as an old hag and is eager to marry me off..."

Daphne didn't want to get married at all, but it wouldn’t be easy to defy her mom's wishes. Alas!

While driving through the city centre, Daphne lost all her mood to buy a new outfit when she thought of the traffic jam, which she'd be stuck in.

She steered her car in a different direction to head home for a quick nap. However, her car had not moved for more than a few yards when the already crawling traffic stream pulled to a complete halt.

Daphne was still wondering what was going on when she got a notification on her phone.

Someone in her hospital's group chat reported a major traffic accident downtown. All medical personnel had been asked to report for duty immediately and be on standby.

Daphne furrowed her brows. She was currently downtown!
