The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 601
With that, the unhappiness In Anya’s heart suddenly dissipated. From what happened, Rosie’s stupidity was perhaps not so
severe as to be completely useless in every situation. At the very least, she still had value during that critical moment!
Anya’s expression became cheery, and she smiled softly, “Thank you for putting in a good word for me in front of Grandpa!”
Rosie then said, “No biggie, Anya! We’re the best of friends, so you can bet on me to stop Corinne from succeeding and showing
off in your name! That darn b*tch must’ve pushed you down on purpose earlier so you couldn’t go on stage, and she could use
that opportunity to show off! Don’t worry, Anya, I’ve already told someone to watch her take off her make–up backstage, and I’ll
make sure she won’t get the chance to say anything to Mister Edgar!”
Anya smiled reassuringly and remembered that she was supposed to portray herself as a kind–hearted person. She thus said
hypocritically, “Don’t say that about Corinne, Rosie. I don’t think she did it on purpose...
“As if anyone would believe that! You’re just too naive, Anya, and you think too kindly of her!”
Rosie felt that her best friend was too kind and too gullible, and since they would both be sisters–in–law in the future, her desire
to protect Anya was even stronger after she had made up her mind to do so.
“Let’s not talk about Corinne anymore. She’s a bringer of bad luck! Anyway, we should be going soon. I asked someone to send
a wheelchair over since your foot is injured and you still can’t walk. I’ll push you to see Mister Edgar so you can hear what he
wants to say to you.”
Anya nodded. “Okay.”
Lucas had arranged several servants to look after her there and left to deal with someone else. His absence made it much easier
for her to deal with the servants, and they did not object when they saw Anya being pushed out on a wheelchair.
Rosie pushed Anya toward the elder Lovelaces and said, “Mister Edgar, I brought Anya to meet you!”
Edgar looked over with a dignified expression and scrutinized Anya, who was sitting in a wheelchair with her makeup. He noticed
something was not right and asked in a deep voice, “Hmm? Didn’t you sing” Farewell, My Love‘ earlier? Why are you wearing
the costume for ‘A Love Entranced“?”

Anya was indeed wearing the costume for ‘A Love Entranced‘ because the costume for ‘Farewell, My Love ‘was at Corinne’s
place. Since she still had a ‘foot injury‘, it would be inconvenient for her to meet Corinne and change into the appropriate
costume.
Furthermore, changing her makeup was very troublesome and time–consuming, and it would not be ideal to keep the old man
waiting for too long lest he became impatient.
However, she and Rosie had already thought of a reasonable explanation to bolster their cause.
Rosie began by saying, “This is what happened, Mister Edgar. It was Anya who put on the costume because she wanted to sing
‘A Love Entranced‘ as the encore for you. She had just managed to put on the costume when she was called to meet you.”
Edgar narrowed his old but sharp eyes and said, “Is that so? Then why is she sitting in a wheelchair? How did that happen?”
Anya was the one who answered him and explained with a distressed expression, “Forgive my rudeness
for not being able to stand up and talk to you. I was careless earlier because I was in such a hurry to get off stage and change
my costume that I sprained my ankle...”
Edgar stared at her pitiful appearance for a while, and the doubts in his heart had been completely dispelled He felt a bit of pity
and appreciation for her despite never liking her in the past, and he had a kind expression as he spoke.
“Well, your grandma and I appreciate your effort. You sang very well earlier, and since you’ve hurt your foot, there’s no need for
you to go on stage and sing ‘A Love Entranced‘. You can always do so once you’ve recovered.”
