Chapter 599
Upon hearing Edgar’s words, Gertrude-whose mental state faltered slightly-went blank. momentarily. She suppressed her urge to rush up and hug her ‘daughter’, nodding quietly.” Yes, we can’t interrupt her when she’s so focused on her singing. Emily doesn’t like to be interrupted…”
At the end of the pieces, the actors left the stage after a curtain call. Gertrude watched as her ‘ daughter’ left her sight, and her mood started spiraling out of control as she got up anxiously to try and get on stage to chase after her daughter.
Edgar had anticipated she would do that, so he grabbed his wife just in time and said, “Don’t go anywhere, Gertrude. Emily won’t leave again.”
After comforting his wife, he turned around and instructed the servants waiting beside him, ” Get ‘Consort Aileen’ to come here right away!”
“Yes, sir.”
The servant responded and went immediately.
Upon seeing that, Rosie-who had just snapped back to her senses-suddenly had a bad feeling. She initially wanted Corinne to make a fool of herself in public, but she never expected Corinne to be that good of a singer who even received the approval of Edgar and Gertrude. The old couple even wanted to meet her!
Rosie could not let that happen. Edgar was very satisfied with Corinne’s performance, and he would have a good impression of her if he knew she was ‘Consort Aileen’. That would only fuel Corinne’s ambitions to advance her social status.
Having considered that, Rosie immediately stepped forward and feigned a smile as she intervened, “Didn’t you notice, Mister Edgar? The opera singer who played Consort Aileen earlier was Anya! She worked incredibly hard just to give you this special gift!”
Edgar was startled to hear that. ‘Did I hear her correctly?! ‘Consort Aileen’ was played by Anya? I didn’t notice it at all!’
Suddenly, Edgar remembered the so-called ‘special gift’ Anya had mentioned she had prepared for him. She mentioned that it was something he would almost certainly love.
As it turned out, the gift she prepared was that performance.

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...
