Best Daphne and Simon moment: The two meet for the first time
Love can be a complicated thing, especially when one’s future depended on it. For Simon, he had no interest in getting married upon his return to London.
Yet when word reached the ears of every eligible woman that he was available, his plans were becoming less successful. Daphne on the other hand had been preparing her whole life to get married.
Unfortunately, her oldest brother Anthony made it nearly impossible for her to meet anyone. That is except Nigel Berbrooke.
When Daphne is able to get away from Anthony for a brief moment she happens to run into Nigel. Uninterested Daphne tries to leave but Nigel pursues her until she bumps into Simon.

Best Daphne and Simon moment: The perfect plan

Daphne fears that her brother has scared away all of the eligible men, and to make matters worse, Nigel could become her potential husband. As she scurries away from a party, Nigel follows unbeknownst to them both that Simon isn’t far away.
When Nigel attempts to attack Daphne, she knocks him out with one punch before Simon can rescue her. The two share their present issues when Simon comes up with a plan that could solve their problems.

Best Daphne and Simon moment: I Burn for You
Daphne and Simon’s fake relationship was slowly becoming more real; however, neither of them felt brave enough to reveal how they felt about one another. After a series of events that leads to Simon and Daphne getting married, they both mistakenly believe they didn’t want to marry each other.

Daphne and Simon’s marriage began strong, with the two barely spending a moment away from each other. However, all of it came to a halt when Daphne learned that Simon did not want to have children instead of being unable to.
After their spat, the two begin to ignore the other while trying to appear like a happily wedded couple in front of others; as their anger and grief towards each other grew, the idea of a happily ever after seemed near nonexistent.
That is until they both finally talk about their feelings in the rain and how they do not wish their marriage to end. They admit that they still love each other and want to fight for their marriage.
