Chapter 94
“Get off the stage if you can’t play, Corinne. Let Ivanka handle the performance alone!”
“Yeah, get off! Everyone’s been waiting long, so don’t waste your time anymore!”
Ivanka finally felt that she had successfully reclaimed the spotlight from Corinne and was very proud as a result. However, she made sure to show her empathetic side and sympathized with Corinne.
“Well, if that’s the case, then I won’t pressure you anymore. Why don’t you go down for now? I’|| handle the performance myself.”
“Sure.” Corinne nodded and agreed readily. She could not be bothered to play for Ivanka anyway. As soon as she put down the ukulele and stepped off the stage, she heard Ivanka’s group making comments again from the front row.
“Tch! What’s so great about her when she can’t even play the ukulele?”
“If she’s from that good a family, I wonder if her academic performance is as stellar as the rumors say? Being rich makes it so much easier for them to hype her up as an all-round top student!”
“Her? From a good family? When one of our teachers sent me to clean the file room, I happened to come across Corinne’s student file! She’s from the countryside, and she used to be very poor before she went to university! In fact, she had to rely on scholarships just to attend school!”
“What? A poor student? Why would her family have so much money to donate a building to the school today?”
“Do you honestly think that’s her family? I’m guessing that she relied on her good looks to get herself adopted by a rich man from the city! Isn’t it normal for poor girls to lower themselves just for money?”
“Raised? Are you saying that the handsome man from earlier took Corinne in and raised her?”
“Well, duh! Did you expect someone so young to be her biological father? Pfft! He might seem to have taken her in out of the kindness of his heart, but God knows what sort of shady relationship he has with her!”
“By the way! I also heard rumors in school that Corinne was called to the dean’s office pretty often, and she tends to stay there for an hour at least! I’m starting to suspect that she might be having an affair with the dean! Why else would he treat her so nicely and even allow her to make her appearance at the graduation ceremony?”
“No way! Our dean is old enough to be her grandfather!”

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...
