His Charming Smile novel Chapter 7

Raphael appeared slightly surprised by the question. He slowly set the cup on the table and looked up at Daphne with squinted hostile eyes.

"I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, Miss Goodwin."

Daphne loosened her fists before suddenly clenching them again. "You don’t understand? Mr. Ambrose, you are here today for a date with me, aren't you?"

"Yes." It was all his grandfather's idea, and he hadn’t wanted to be here. However, he was getting very interested.

"Mr. Ambrose, you were the person, whom I met in the hospital this afternoon, weren’t you?" Daphne tried to sound calm, though she could not slow down her breathing.

She thought that the man sitting in front of her couldn't be more thick- skinned. She couldn't stay calm as she had always had.

Raphael nodded again. "Yes, I was."

Not only did they see each other that afternoon, but they had also stared each other down.

He had threatened Daphne, and she had ridiculed him. It was a grudge that could not be forgotten easily.

It was precisely because of that that he remembered her so well.

Daphne's lips curled up as she put on a fake smile, "Why then is Mr. Ambrose not in the hospital with your lover and daughter right now? Are you still in the mood for a date? I guess there' s always a first time with everything, including seeing something like this happen."

Raphael frowned and fell into silence for a moment. He was beginning to understand what she had meant.

However, his silence only did nothing but convince Daphne that her guesses were right.

Suddenly, she stood up and said quickly, "I don’ t think I am a suitable match for someone like you, Mr. Ambrose. You may be a hypocrite and act against your morals without batting an eyelid. However, please don't make me an accomplice."

She gave him a scornful look, picked up her bag from the chair, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Raphael quickly got up and stretched out his arm, which was already long. He grabbed her and said coldly, "What do you mean?"
