Chapter 97
Corinne had been stringing everyone along, so to speak!
An insipid expression appeared on her face. and the chaotic plucking had since become orderly. The tune she played was none other than that of the guitar score Ivanka gave her at the beginning.
In the audience, the disgusted expressions of the students changed from disgust to doubt, then to admiration and intoxication.
Ivanka and her group of friends were stunned.
They never expected that Corinne would be able to play so well. The situation had changed drastically, and it was on such occasions that one must not lose one’s momentum. Several of the girls from Ivanka’s group began to cheer her on.
“Don’t just stand there, Ivanka! You can sing, too!”
“Yeah! Use your voice to drown out Corinne!”
“Remember to dance!”
After being reminded by the girls, Ivanka snapped out of her daze and followed the beat as she sang the lyrics and danced along.
She sang to the best of her ability as she tried to draw the attention of the students away from Corinne and to herself, which she succeeded in doing as some of her classmates were already looking at her.
Ivanka began to dance even more animatedly as a result.
Unexpectedly, Corinne’s tempo gradually picked up, and her fingering skills were unlike someone who had just touched the ukulele for the first time. It might even be on par with professional ukulele players! The tempo continued to increase without going out of tune or missing a beat, which could only be achieved with top-notch skills.
Ivanka’s singing and dancing evidently could not keep up with the tune, but she refused to admit defeat and tried to speed up her song and dance. However, the quickened singing made it difficult for her to control her breathing, especially since she was dancing too.
By accident, she became dizzy, and her entire person collapsed uncontrollably on the stage, making for an embarrassing and humorous spectacle.
There was an uproar in the audience when Ivanka fell.
“How can a misstep happen when it’s her own song? It’s almost like she’s not familiar with it.”
The first sounds of applause came from the opposite terrace.
Corinne turned her head to look and her mind immediately went blank. ‘Is that… Jeremy?’
Jeremy’s slender figure stood there as he clapped his hands with intrigue. He neither clapped too slowly nor too quickly, but it was very crisp and powerful.
There was a faint smile on the man’s ridiculously handsome face, and the expression on his face, seemed to contain just as much admiration as ridicule.
‘When did he start standing there? How long had he been watching me? Even his friends are also there! Were they all watching me, too?’
Notable among them was Sunny, who had an inexplicably dazed look moments before he snapped out of his senses and glared at her viciously.
“Not bad! You played well!” Zeke smiled enthusiastically and began to lead the applause.
His clapping jolted those students who were still mesmerized by the performance, and within seconds, the thunderous sound of applause resonated throughout the terrace.

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...
