Chapter 1389
Upon Kevin's entrance, he was met with Zane's stern countenance. "Kevin, what exactly have you been doing? Have you forgotten that there is a match tomorrow?"
"Mr. Lopez, sorry about that. Ms. Johnson just called me to discuss some competition details." Kevin said with a grin, thinking that if Zane knew he had just been having sex with Maddy, he would probably be furious.
"Alright." With that it was Audrey who called Kevin, Zane couldn't get angry. Tonight, he had finally found a chance to get intimate with Maddy. After having just taken a bath and preparing to retire to bed, a knock resounded at the door. Feeling guilty, he urged Maddy to answer it while he concealed himself beneath the bed. Maddy did not return, leaving him in a state of uncertainty. Too frightened to call out to Maddy, fearing self-implication, he stealthily retreated to his own room.
Seeing Kevin lie down to sleep, Zane also returned to his bed, still feeling uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he sent Maddy a text message: [Ms. Nguyen, are you resting?]
Meanwhile, Maddy had just returned to her room, where Jillie was already fast asleep. Upon seeing Zane’s text, a wave of frustration washed over her. Zane was incorrigibly irresponsible, repeatedly leaving her to handle difficult situations alone. If it weren't for his advantageous position in the city's education department, she wouldn't give him the time of day.
To make matters worse, it was Zane’s insistence on booking a room that led to her fallout with Toby and being caught by Kevin. The situation was made even worse by the necessity of using her body to manipulate Kevin. The whole affair was infuriating.
However, Kevin's penis was remarkably large. Reflecting on how she had nearly struggled to catch her breath earlier, Maddy instinctively touched her still aching jaw. Her intimate area also felt sore. Kevin disregarded others' feelings during intercourse. If her husband had Kevin's prowess, she wouldn't have strayed with Zane.
Thinking of Toby, Maddy felt even more conflicted. Toby wasn't an easy person either. Though Zane was lustful and primarily pursued her body, he was manageable. But Toby appeared genuinely in love with her, treating her like his girlfriend and even threatening self-harm. If this continued, their affair would inevitably be uncovered. She wanted to sever her unsafe liaison with Toby but feared he might take drastic measures if he despaired, which could ruin her. She needed to find an opportunity to placate him in the coming days.
On the bed next to her, Jillie was still awake. She had been thinking about the events of the night. Hearing Maddy return, she pretended to sleep to avoid awkwardness.
Initially, she looked down on Maddy, but tonight she had done something inappropriate herself, helping Kevin masturbate and getting his cum on her face. It was so shameful. She left in a hurry, not out of anger, but because she had no idea how to face Kevin. It was her voluntary action, but if Maddy and Toby hadn't been making out in the yard, Kevin wouldn't have seen it, and the subsequent events wouldn't have happened. Blaming Maddy wouldn't change anything; what happened had happened.
Jillie sighed softly, her fingers grazing her wet labia. The thought of Kevin's thick and lengthy penis once again surged in her mind, causing a wave of heat to ripple through her body. As with many middle-aged women, her sex life with her husband had significantly diminished after she turned thirty. The advent of their children had further reduced these moments. Both were engrossed in their professional lives, and by the time they returned home and completed their daily responsibilities, it was time to sleep. On the rare occasions they had the energy, the presence of their children was always a consideration. What had once been passionate and uninhibited newlywed indulgences had become routine and devoid of pleasure.
Tonight, however, reignited her dormant desires, making her body desireble. Being a traditionally faithful woman, Jillie never thought of cheating, so she gritted her teeth, suppressing her desires, not daring to make a sound for Maddy to hear.
This night was sleepless for Jillie, Maddy, Zane, and Toby, but Kevin, who had gained so much, slept soundly. This trip to Skyview City had just begun.
The next morning, Zane, with dark circles under his eyes, woke everyone up. After gathering and counting the group in the hall, they went directly to Evergreen Academy, the host of the 9th Annual High School Essay Competition. The competition was organized by the Aquarion Department of Education and the Aquarion Writers Association, sponsored by the well-known Aquarion company, BrightHorizon Group. Fifteen cities from across the state sent teams, with 150 participants.
The competition was divided into preliminary and final rounds. The preliminary round consisted of objective questions to assess students' literary skills, selecting participants for the final round. The final round had three grand prizes, five first prizes, ten second prizes, and twenty third prizes. Grand prize winners would be recommended for the national essay competition, and first prize winners would receive certificates and eligibility for specific school admissions exams. Therefore, all participants aimed to be in the top eight.
Despite the high elimination rate of fifty percent in the preliminary round, Kevin wasn't nervous. He had a solid literary foundation, kept up with his reading, and mastered common writing techniques. Failing the preliminary round would be embarrassing, thanks to the foundation laid by Alissa.
After receiving the exam paper, Kevin glanced over it briefly, gaining a sense of confidence. He then took a moment to observe the room. Some participants appeared relaxed, some were beaming with joy, others had furrowed brows, and a few were biting their pen caps. Many were writing furiously, while some, like Kevin, were glancing around. When he met their gaze, they exchanged knowing smiles, clearly brimming with confidence.
Kevin lowered his head and answered the questions seriously. Most were easy, with only a few challenging ones. By the time he reached the last question, only half the time had passed. He put down his pen, stretched his sore wrist, and looked up, surprised to see five participants had already finished, with one participant even sleeping on the desk. He took a deep breath, realizing the competition was fierce. Initially confident about winning a grand prize, he now doubted if he could make it to the top eight.
After the competition, everyone left the exam room, waiting nervously in the hall for the results. The nine students from Starfall Maple Grove High gathered, discussing their answers. Occasionally, someone would groan in frustration, clearly having made a mistake.
With Kevin's relaxed expression,, Audrey couldn't help but ask, "Kevin, how did you do? Why aren't you discussing the answers with them?"
"What's there to discuss?" Kevin said dismissively. "These questions are so easy."
His voice was a bit loud, and the Maple Grove High students turned to look at Kevin, thinking he was too arrogant.
"Kevin, watch your mouth." Audrey quickly pulled him aside, scolding him. "Even if you pass the preliminary round, there's still the final. Can you guarantee you'll be in the top eight?"
"Well, I'll try my best." Kevin, thinking of the participants who finished before him, felt discouraged and uncertain. "It depends on my performance tomorrow."
Audrey knew Kevin was a competitive person who thrived in big competitions, so she wasn't too worried. At this stage, saying more would only add to his mental burden.
As they chatted, someone suddenly called Audrey's name. She turned to see her college classmate, Trina Edwards.
"Audrey, it's my honor to see you here! I thought I recognized you from afar but wasn't sure." Trina enthusiastically grabbed Audrey's hand, chatting away. "It's been years since we graduated. You still look so young and beautiful, just like the campus queen you were."
"Trina, you look more mature and elegant now." Audrey looked at Trina, who used to be the most unnoticed girl in their class. Now, she was dressed in a stylish gray suit, wearing fashionable stockings and high heels, with her hair dyed purple, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
"Audrey, you are the best." Trina said with a smile, "By the way, why are you back at school? Are you pursuing a graduate degree?"
"No, I'm here with students for the essay competition." Audrey explained, "What about you?"
"Coincidentally, the sponsor of this competition is BrightHorizon Group, and I work there now. My boss sent me to present an award." Trina asked, "Are you still teaching in the county?"
"Yeah." Audrey nodded as she felt a pang of sadness, seeing the confident Trina. In college, she was the center of attention, but now, just a few years after graduation, she and Trina were worlds apart.
"Anyway, do you still keep in touch with Gary Collins?" Trina suddenly asked.
"No." Hearing the familiar name, Audrey's heart skipped a beat. She shook her head. Gary was her second boyfriend in college. They had dated for a while but broke up due to personality differences.
"Gary is doing great now. He just became a senior official in the Department of Education, the highest-ranking among our classmates." Trina said with a hint of jealousy, "My husband is already excellent, just promoted to director. If you had married Gary, your status would be different now. But you insisted on marrying Jason. I never understood what was so special about him."
"Enough, let's drop it." Audrey felt irritated and changed the subject, "Do you keep in touch with other classmates?"
"Of course, anyone working in Ravenfall, I stay in touch with. We look out for each other." Trina said with a smile, "Since you're here, I'll organize a gathering tonight. Let's have a reunion for you."
