Chapter 1110 You Need Gentleness
“I understand,” Albert nodded and said, “Mrs. Johnson, you explain things so clearly, even better than Mrs. Garcia. I wish you were our English teacher.”
“I’m not as good as Mrs. Garcia; she’s the best English teacher at our school. You’re very fortunate to have her as your homeroom teacher,” Audrey replied.
“Mrs. Garcia has a bad temper, unlike you, Mrs. Johnson. You’re so gentle,” Albert grinned, “Mrs. Johnson, why don’t I transfer to your class?”
“That wouldn’t do,” Audrey laughed lightly, “I’m not as impressive as you think. Many people want to transfer to your Class 57.”
Audrey wasn’t just being modest. The fact that students like Albert and Ivan, offspring of influential families, were placed in Class 57, along with the principal Oliver’s daughter, highlighted Alissa’s significance.
Kevin remained silent, focusing on his meal. After finishing, he quietly said, “Mrs. Johnson, I’m going to my room to read.” He cleared his dishes, washed them in the kitchen, and went straight to the guest room.
Audrey’s face stiffened. Kevin had been like this for several days—saying little, only speaking if spoken to, and retreating to his room to read after meals. While this was the behavior she had hoped to see, it pained her to think that Kevin was intentionally distancing himself. Yet, she maintained her teacher's decorum, unwilling to take the initiative to repair their relationship, even though at night she felt so distressed she wanted to cry. She regretted listening to Quentin’s divisive words. Kevin had offended Quentin for her sake, and Quentin had since harbored a grudge against Kevin. How could she have trusted such a person?
Seeing Audrey’s displeasure, Albert quickly said, “Mrs. Johnson, are you feeling unwell? Let me handle the cleaning.”
“No need, I’m fine,” Audrey shook her head, standing up to clear the tableware and heading to the kitchen. Albert hurried to follow, trying to help but only ending up in the way. His arm accidentally brushed against Audrey’s smooth, jade-like skin, making him excited. His eyes fixated on her ample breasts, and his penis quickly hardened at the erotic sight.
Audrey’s breasts were enormously large; even though Alissa and Maxwell had big chests, they paled in comparison to Audrey's. He thought her husband must be incredibly lucky to have such a busty wife. Yet, that fool had gone south, leaving such a sexy wife behind. If it were him, he’d stay home every day and never leave.
Noticing Albert being more of a hindrance than help, Audrey couldn’t help but say, “Albert, you should go to your room to read. I can handle this.”
“Okay,” Albert said, glancing at the bedroom door. He then pulled out a card from his pocket, saying, “Mrs. Johnson, my mom asked me to give this to you. Tomorrow is Teacher’s Day. Happy Teacher’s Day.”
Audrey curiously took the card, which was black with the letters “VIP” and a dragon emblem, and asked, “Albert, what kind of card is this?”
“Oh, my mom said it’s a discount card. You can get a 30% discount at almost all chain stores,” Albert said with a grin.
Audrey hesitated. If it were a bank card or a shopping card, she would have refused, but this discount card wasn’t money. Since she planned to buy a house, furniture, and appliances by the end of the year, it could be useful. She smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll accept it. Thank your mom for me.”
“Mrs. Johnson, don’t mention it. This is our way of showing gratitude,” Albert said, leaving reluctantly.
That night, Albert and Kevin studied at Audrey’s house until ten o’clock. Since it was late, Albert had to leave. Audrey escorted him to the door, smiling, “Albert, you’ve been doing well lately. Keep it up and aim for good grades in the midterm exams.”
“Mrs. Johnson, I will do my best,” Albert said excitedly. “I wouldn’t have come this far without your help. I promise to study hard and not let you down.”
Audrey returned to the living room and saw Kevin still engrossed in his books. She thought of their cold war, which had lasted several days. This brat seemed unwilling to take the first step to reconcile. Given that she was ten years older, there was no need to act childishly. Besides, her intention of reprimanding Kevin had already been achieved. She walked over to Kevin and gently said, “Kevin, it's getting late. Why don’t you stay here tonight?”
“No, thanks, Mrs. Johnson. I’ll head home,” Kevin replied, looking at Audrey briefly before quickly packing his books and walking towards the door without expression.
Audrey bit her lip, watching Kevin’s tall figure disappear out the door, her eyes brimming with tears, her heart aching. Kevin had truly grown distant, not even calling her “sister” anymore. Had she really made a mistake? She had just tried to reconcile with him, but he didn’t appreciate it at all, acting like an ungrateful brat. Furious, she returned to her bedroom, threw herself on the bed, and felt like crying into her pillow, her ample chest heaving with each sob.
Just then, her phone rang with a cheerful melody. Seeing it was her husband calling, she wiped her tears and answered with a soft “hello.”
“Hey, honey, what are you doing?” Jason’s voice came through the receiver, sounding strangely unfamiliar.
“Nothing much,” Audrey responded flatly. “Getting ready for bed. Do you need something?”
“Just wanted to call and wish you a happy Teacher’s Day tomorrow,” Jason said. “I sent you a gift red packet on social media; don’t forget to claim it.”
“Jason, you don’t need to send me money. You have enough expenses there. Save it for yourself,” Audrey said softly.
“It’s fine, honey. I recently got a job as a security guard at a building. I earn four to five thousand dollars a month, and they provide food and accommodation. The work environment is also good. There’s an extra allowance for night shifts,” Jason explained. “How’s everything at home? Are you busy with work?”
“Same as always. Nothing new,” Audrey replied, her patience thinning. “Anything else?”
“Darling, we haven’t video chatted in a while. Can we chat online for a bit? I really miss you,” Jason pleaded hesitantly.
“Let’s do it another time; I’m tired and want to sleep early,” Audrey replied, not in the mood to video chat, her mind still filled with images of her husband’s infidelity.
