The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604

Corinne’s lips curled up slightly, and she said to Anya with a smirk, “Miss Anya, I’ve already taken off Consort Aileen’s costume and folded it up on the make–up table backstage. Remember to get someone to collect it from there later.

“The costume looks so well–made; it seems to be a dress with high–class tailoring. It’s best if you could get someone to check the costume and put it away. I won’t be responsible if it gets lost or if someone else damages it!”

Corinne spoke calmly and nonchalantly, but the atmosphere around her suddenly did not feel right anymore.

Anya’s and Rosie’s expressions stiffened, and they were unsure how to react at that moment. They could only glare at Corinne secretly while anxiously observing Edgar’s reaction.

Edgar’s warm expression had turned cold, and he glanced at Anya sitting in a wheelchair with an innocent face before looking at Corinne, who had already removed her makeup. He then frowned and sank into a pensive silence.

Corinne smiled innocently at the old man, and when she saw that Anya did not respond, she asked again,” Why aren’t you saying anything, Miss Anya? I’ll take it that everything’s fine then. In that case, I’ll be leaving. See you around!”

After ending the conversation with Anya, Corinne made a point to bow politely and bid goodbye to the two elders.

“Sir, Ma’am, it’s a great honor to be able to attend your banquet here today. I’ll leave you to enjoy the celebrations. Goodbye.”

She then turned around and prepared to leave.

At that moment, the dazed Gertrude seemed to have suddenly awoken from a dream and stretched out her hand to grab Corinne.

“It’s Emily… She’s Emily! Don’t go, Emily….”

She was warning Corinne that it was best not to speak any nonsense.

Corinne could understand what Anya meant to say, but she remained indifferent to it and answered Edgar

truthfully.

“Yes. I sang ‘Farewell, My Love‘ in place of Miss Anya on stage earlier. Apologies for not meeting the highest standards in my performance.”

After getting that answer, the old man’s complexion sank completely. His renewed impression of Anya disappeared instantly, and he disliked her much more than before. He was also especially annoyed at himself because he had just believed in a lie.

Edgar’s stern eyes glared at Anya and Rosie, who had both been working in tandem, and he snorted heavily before asking in a cold voice, “Didn’t you say that you were the one who sang ‘Farewell, My Love“?”
