The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 598
Rosie went off stage, glanced at the audience, and walked over to sit in the first row behind Edgar and Gertrude.
The second elder of the Lovelaces was Lucas’s grandfather. If she could strike up a good relationship with the old man and his
wife, then it would almost certainly benefit her in her future relationship with Lucas.
Rosie exchanged greetings with the elders in a very respectful and polite manner before taking her seat. She looked up at the
stage and saw Corinne making an appearance.
‘Let the show begin!’
Corinne led the other dancers on stage with a firm stride and raised her voice to sing.
“Farewell, my love. Farewell, my love. We must go our separate ways. Remember this farewell, keep our memories in your
heart, and think back to our time before our farewell...”
Her voice did not break, she was not out of tune, and she nailed every single word correctly.
Her voice was crisp, and those in the audience who were chatting while listening to the performance could not help but fall silent
as they focused their attention on ‘Consort Aileen’ on the stage.
Rosie was dumbfounded, and the eager expression she had earlier had faded away. She even wondered if she was
hallucinating.
She had no idea that Corinne could have such a professional voice.
Rosie listened carefully again and confirmed that she was not hearing things. Corinne was genuinely singing very well!
‘But how?! How could a country bumpkin like Corinne sing an opera so well? Someone of her background would never have
been able to learn it!’
The middle-aged and elderly VIP guests were already applauding for ‘Consort Aileen’ with eyes filled with admiration.
However, Rosie still refused to believe that Corinne would be the singer who sang ‘Farewell, My Love’ so flawlessly.
It could not have been possible! Something was gravely wrong.

Rosie lost her composure, stood up, and stared at the girl in the costume of Consort Aileen. Her eyes widened even more in
disbelief as she listened to Corinne sing.
‘It’s Corinne! There’s no doubt about it! It’s her... That country bumpkin can sing opera, and she sang so perfectly too! Didn’t she
say she couldn’t sing very well?!’
At that moment, someone in the audience smiled and asked Edgar, “Edgar, what’s the name of this woman playing ‘Consort
Aileen’? She sings amazingly well! Where did you find her?”
Edgar also looked at ‘Consort Aileen’ on stage in amazement. His pupils trembled, and he was so focused on the performance
that he did not hear the question raised by his friend.
The singer sang in such a unique manner, and her movement-not to mention her voice and figure-left everyone in awe. In
addition, her portrayal of ‘Consort Aileen’ had a charm similar to his daughter Emily, who had been missing for many years.
‘Farewell, My Love’ was her favorite play, and when she was young, she had the opportunity to learn from an opera master
because her parents-being fans of opera-were good friends with that opera master.
Emily admired Consort Aileen’s boldness, so it was no surprise that her favorite opera was Farewell, My Love’. She frequently
performed it whenever there were art performances at her school.
The ‘Consort Aileen’ on stage looked remarkably like Emily as a young child singing on stage -her movements, charm, and voice
were somehow very similar. Edgar felt that the singer looked like his daughter, and Gertrude shared the same view too.
Gertrude stared at ‘Consort Aileen’ with tears in her eyes, and she almost choked up as she said, “It’s Emily... Emily’s singing
her favorite piece.”
Upon seeing his wife’s reaction, Edgar could not help but feel a touch of heartbreak as he stretched out his hand and held his
wife’s trembling shoulders.
He calmed her down with a deep voice and said, “Not so loud, honey. Let our Emily finish her song.”
