Chapter 597
Lucas nodded in relief after hearing what the doctor said. “I see. That’s good to hear.”
Anya had a sudden thought and said, “I’m still a little worried about Corinne’s performance, so since the doctor already checked my foot and said that I’m fine, I’d like to go and watch it.”
Lucas frowned. “Didn’t you hear the doctor advising you not to walk for now? Be obedient.”
Anya pouted pitifully. “I really want to watch the performance… Please just take me there, Lucas. I just want to have a look.”
Lucas frowned for a moment and said, “Not a chance. Corinne will perform under your guise, so aren’t you afraid that someone might spot you in the audience?”
Anya was stunned since she had completely forgotten about that point. She wanted to see Corinne make a fool of herself and show up just in time to prove that the person on stage was someone else instead of her.
“Lucas… I just want to watch her from a distance… We don’t have to be in the audience. We can just watch from a distance…”
All Lucas cared about at that moment was her sprained foot. He did not give her any room for negotiation.
“Don’t be stubborn, Anya. Our priority now is to get the doctor to apply some of the ointment. on your foot. Then you can get some rest and recuperate.”
“But, Lucas…”
Anya called out for Lucas coquettishly, and tears filled her eyes again.
Lucas frowned and did not give in.
When Edmund saw the stalemate between Lucas and Anya, he thought momentarily before. stepping forward and saying, “Miss, you need to listen to your brother and have a good rest. go there and stream it live from my cell phone for you to watch. That way, you can see her performance from here.”
Corinne looked in the mirror, cocked her eyebrow, and looked at the domineering-looking Rosie, “I’ve already told you that I’m not very good at singing, but you insisted on letting me replace Miss Anya on stage. If you’re worried I’d embarrass myself, I might as well not take the stage at all!”
Rosie became anxious again. “You… Your makeup’s done, so why are you arguing about it at this sort of time? The other performances have already started, so what do you expect the other performers to do if you don’t come on stage soon?”
Corinne stood up slowly, “Well, that’s true, but didn’t you say that I’m supposed to go on stage and sing ‘A Love Entranced’? Why am I dressed like Consort Aileen? Why am I wearing the dress she wore when she sang ‘Farewell, My Love!?”
Rosie brushed her question off by saying, “Anya is still wearing the dress for ‘A Love Entranced’, and it’s inconvenient for her to take it off after her foot was injured. You have no choice but to sing ‘Farewell, My Love’! It’s not like they’re any different. Why are you still being picky when you’re supposed to help fill in?”
Corinne sighed worriedly. “Guess I’ll have to make a fool of myself on Miss Anya’s behalf then!
As soon as she listened to the drum beat from the front, she took a deep breath to prepare herself before reluctantly stepping onto the stage.
As soon as Corinne went on stage, a triumphant smile unfurled across Rosie’s face as she waited in anticipation to see how badly Corinne would perform. Rosie left the backstage area expectantly and went to the audience to witness the best part of the 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...
