Chapter 211 The Beautiful Teacher's Reward
While other boys were fighting over a beautiful girl, even coming to blows, Kevin quietly entered a different, wonderful world—a world filled with mature women with voluptuous figures.
Kevin sighed, unsure whether he was lucky or unlucky. Perhaps he would never be interested in girls his age again. Alissa and Evelyn were both middle-aged women around his mother's age. Vanessa, though looking quite young, was nearing thirty.
Audrey was the youngest among them but still about ten years older than Kevin . When Audrey was in high school, he was probably just a kindergartener.
Kevin suddenly realized that Audrey's biggest concern might be their age difference. A gap of two or three years might be acceptable, but ten years was daunting.
Audrey stood by the railing, watching Kevin exercising in the distance. In the sunlight, his face beamed with a simple smile, radiating the joy that a youth should possess. The girls in front of him were also brimming with youthful energy, even the simplest school uniform couldn't hide their exuberance. Their faces carried the same smile as Kevin 's.
They were peers, after all. Audrey's beautiful face showed a hint of sadness. For the first time, she felt old. Though she had only been out of college for a few years and was considered a young teacher, she felt different compared to these lively high school girls.
After her conversation with Alissa yesterday, Audrey seriously examined her relationship with Kevin . She didn't want to continue in this ambiguous state, which would harm both herself and Kevin .
Did Kevin like her? Audrey was sure of it. But boys' feelings were often tied to physical urges. Once those urges were satisfied, their feelings could fade or disappear entirely. She was no longer a teenager and understood the nature of boys' and men's emotions.
Even the strongest love can't withstand the passage of time, especially with a ten-year gap. That was a distance as vast as the Pacific Ocean.
Ten years was enough to go through school all over again, Audrey thought. Sometimes, in novels, young female teachers fall in love with male students, but those teachers had just graduated from college, and the students were in their final year of high school. Their age difference wasn't that significant.
Kevin was still a high school student without any independence. By the time he graduated from college, it would be five years later. Even if Audrey divorced her husband, could she wait five years? What would their relationship be like then? Audrey had no confidence in this.
Although Audrey understood Alissa's actions, she couldn't bring herself to cheat on her husband. She had to resolve her marital issues first. Until then, her relationship with Kevin wouldn't fundamentally change. Of course, some physical intimacy was hard to avoid, but Audrey felt justified, believing she was helping Kevin resist Vanessa's temptations, not for her own benefit.
As long as she kept Kevin 's penis out of her vagina, they wouldn't be truly making love, and she wouldn't be betraying her husband. This was Audrey's final boundary.
But how long could she maintain this boundary? She wasn't sure. Since meeting Kevin , she had been drawing lines, but each line only spurred Kevin 's desire to cross it. Her ambiguous attitude was partly to blame. No other man could have breached her psychological defenses so easily.
At lunch, Kevin went to the cafeteria, but neither Audrey nor Vanessa appeared. Even Alissa was absent. Kevin got a serving of bland boiled vegetables and two breads, frowning as he ate. Yesterday, he had eaten with Vanessa and found it decent. He hadn't realized how bad the cafeteria food was. He wondered how the boarding students managed to endure it daily.
If his mother's clothing business took off, she would be even busier. Would he have to eat in the cafeteria every day? Kevin sighed at the thought of his bleak future. He still had two more years of high school. How would he survive?
Around him, students complained about the cafeteria's stingy cooks who didn't use any oil.
Kevin was eating his incredibly unappetizing meal when suddenly he caught a whiff of a delicious aroma. Someone sat in front of him and softly said, "Don't eat that, have mine instead."
Kevin looked up in surprise to see Audrey Johnson. He was both shocked and delighted. "Teacher Johnson, what are you doing here? I thought you went home."
Audrey brushed her hair back and said, "I did go home. Your mom asked me to let you stay at my place, so I had to tidy up and buy you some things."
She continued casually, "The cafeteria food is not nutritious. You're still growing. Since your mom is busy, you can come home with me for lunch from now on."
"Really, Cousin?" Kevin couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Audrey in disbelief. If he could go to her house for lunch every day, they would have more time together. And this was Audrey's idea. Maybe she had finally come around.
