After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 801

Chapter 801

Jenna's face turned even redder. She had just opened her mouth, but found that her throat was sore. Last night... her voice had become hoarse.

She felt embarrassed and shy.

Feeling uncomfortable, she said, "Water... I want water."

Her voice was raspy and her throat felt like there were sand particles rubbing against it.

Brayden quickly went to get her a glass of warm water and brought it to her. "Drink this, Jenna."

After drinking the water, Jenna felt a little better. "You don't have to apologize. The competition is about composing music and playing it well."

She had composed more than one piece of music under Sylvia's guidance. Although she was a bit nervous, she was confident in Sylvia's judgment and skill.

"I shouldn't have..." Brayden felt ashamed although the feeling of kissing Jenna was sweet and addictive; he knew that if their actions affected her performance in the competition, then he would be responsible for ruining everything.

But at this moment, neither of them realized one thing: they hadn't used birth control last night...

Brayden wasn't thinking too much about it because he was still young while Jenna didn't know any better either.

So after finishing the glass of water, she forced herself to take a shower despite feeling sore all over from last night's activities.

The composition competition venue:

Sylvia smirked slightly as she said, "It seems like things got pretty intense last night since they haven't shown up yet."

Franklin snorted coldly, "Looks like I didn't work hard enough last night which is why you woke up so early."

Sylvia remained silent as Jasper sat in his seat, wondering who he even was or where he currently stood, since he couldn't hear or see anything around him at all anymore.

"The competition is about to start soon; if they don't show up now then they'll be late," Sylvia yawned tiredly as she hadn't slept well either due to staying up late working on things with Brayden and Jenna.

Mrs. Ritter came over with Ashlyn when they noticed that Jenna still hadn't shown up yet.

Ashlyn looked smug as she muttered, "Could it be that she's too scared? Composing three pieces isn't an easy task after all; maybe all we'll get from her is just one song."

Mrs. Ritter looked emotionless as she watched the other contestants lining up ready for entry into the venue, "Who knows whether or not she'll come? Just because Sylvia has supported her doesn't mean that everything will go smoothly without any obstacles along the way."

The staff responsible for escorting the contestants stood up, looking around for a thin girl they remembered seeing earlier. "Are there any more contestants to be escorted?" he called out loudly.

No one answered him.

Sylvia frowned. "Maybe we should call Jenna."

This was getting urgent - could it be that Brayden had been too much for her last night and she couldn't get up? If that were the case...

She pulled out her phone and started dialing, but then saw Jenna hurrying over with Brayden's help.

"Here I am, here I am," she panted.

"She's late! She can't enter!" Ashlyn crowed triumphantly, standing up. "There are rules in this competition - anyone who is late is disqualified."

Jenna turned pale at Ashlyn's words. Was she really late? Brayden was equally shocked: if they couldn't compete because of this... he didn't even want to think about it...

The staff member checked his watch coldly and looked at Ashlyn. "There are still thirty seconds left so technically she isn't late yet. Come on over and get your number tag."

Jenna breathed a sigh of relief and went to register quickly before rushing backstage.

Ashlyn stomped her foot angrily as she sat back down. "That's not fair! She was clearly late!"

She gritted her teeth in frustration - why did Jenna always get special treatment just because she was pretty with soft skin? It made her sick.

"What can you do? Even if she competes, there's no way she'll win anything good," Mrs. Ritter consoled Ashlyn by patting her hand gently. "We'll just sit here and wait patiently."

As they spoke, the competition began.

Mother and daughter sat in the front row, while world-renowned music composers judged from their seats.

The first contestant from Vienna took the stage; he was said to have exceptional talent.

After his performance ended gracefully, applause erupted like waves crashing onto shore.

Backstage, everyone noticed when Jenna arrived since only two days ago had won first place in a piano competition.

"Why would someone who already won a piano competition bother entering a composition contest?" people whispered amongst themselves incredulously.
