Chapter 594
Rosie glared at Corinne and said, “Is that so difficult to understand, Corinne? I’m asking you to go onstage and take Anya’s place to sing ‘A Love Entranced”!”
Corinne frowned slightly. “Me? Taking her place for the performance? How is that helpful?”
Rosie rolled her eyes confidently and said, “It’s very helpful! You’ll be using heavy makeup when you’re singing on stage, so no one can tell that you’re not her if they don’t look carefully! You can just go on stage, sing the song as Anya, and we’ll treat it as if Anya was the one who came on stage to sing for the old man. No one will notice anything!”
After hearing Rosie’s idea, Anya pondered it momentarily and soon understood her best friend’s intentions. Rosie deliberately tried to make a fool out of Corinne with the performance. It did not take a genius to figure out that a poor country girl like Corinne could never belt out an opera.
Corinne’s family finances and childhood environment hindered her from taking opera lessons. Once on stage, she would make a fool of herself by singing nonsense, and Edgar hated those who did not appreciate opera by singing out of tune and butchering his beloved classics.
Anya had made many preparations and practiced hard just to please Edgar with her special birthday gift. However, judging from Edgar’s attitude toward her that day, she knew that she would not win his favor regardless of how well she sang, and if she failed to sing to his satisfaction, he would probably shun her even more.
Therefore, Anya had never planned to go on stage to sing. She merely wanted to use the opportunity to create a ‘reason’ for why she could not go on stage because that would cause Lucas to get angry at Corinne and immediately chase Corinne away.
Anya could see that Edgar had entertained the idea of treating Corinne like a granddaughter after his wife mistook her for their daughter earlier. If they went ahead with Rosie’s idea of getting Corinne on stage to sing in Anya’s place and ruin the old man’s beloved classic, he would get angry and drop the idea of treating Corinne like a granddaughter.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
