Chapter 511 I Hear You
Hearing Albert mention Evelyn, Kevin felt a pang of guilt. If Albert knew he had slept with his mom, would he still consider him a good buddy? Kevin felt like a scumbag, pretending to be Albert's brother while secretly seeing Evelyn.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Albert, I can help you set up a meeting with Aunt, but you'll have to seize the opportunity yourself. I can't help you with that. And I have to warn you, Aunt isn't like Vanessa; she's not that easy to deal with. You'd better be prepared."
"Kevin, you're underestimating me," Albert said with a confident smile. "As long as you don't interfere, I'm pretty sure I can win her over. Just watch, I'll have Mrs. Cooper in less than three days."
Kevin chuckled inwardly. Grace's personality was warm on the outside but cold on the inside. She seemed friendly and outgoing, but it was hard to gain her trust. If it weren't for his mother's connection and knowing Grace since childhood, she probably wouldn't be so kind to him. Grace was a gym teacher at school, interacting with many boys daily. If she wanted to cheat, it wouldn't be with him. Albert was bound to hit a wall.
Seeing Albert's confidence, Kevin didn't want to discourage him. He figured Albert would learn his lesson after a few failures. He whispered, "Albert, I'm only letting you pursue Mrs. Cooper because you're my brother. If she agrees, then you're impressive. But don't try anything shady, or I won't let you off."
Kevin was genuinely worried Albert might buy some aphrodisiac online to use on Grace. He had heard about a drug called "Spanish Fly" that had a strong aphrodisiac effect on women, making them lose their senses and become highly aroused. Many thugs used it to take advantage of women.
"Don't worry, Kevin. I, Albert, always do things aboveboard," Albert said disdainfully. "Do you think I'm like Ivan?"
"That's good," Kevin nodded. He couldn't stop Albert anyway, so he might as well let him try. After a few setbacks, Albert would give up. "It's too late today. I'll arrange for Mrs. Cooper to meet you tomorrow."
"No problem," Albert said, then hesitated. "Kevin, are you really okay with this? Mrs. Cooper is your aunt, after all. If you can't accept it, we can drop it."
"It's fine. Go ahead. I support you," Kevin said, patting Albert's shoulder. Initially, he felt a bit uncomfortable, but seeing how much Albert cared about his feelings, he felt he was being petty. Albert had even offered his own mom, so what was there to hold back? Besides, the only women that mattered to him now were his mother and Audrey; he could let go of the others.
"Then I won't hold back. Just wait for my good news," Albert laughed, walking into the school with Kevin, arm in arm.
The first class in the afternoon was PE. After warming up, the PE teacher had the class rep and a few boys bring out thick mats from the storage room and set them up on the field for sit-up training. Boys and girls paired up freely for practice.
Albert's eyes lit up, and he was about to approach Laura when he saw her walk up to Kevin, smiling, "Kevin, practice with me."
The other boys looked at Kevin with envy. Laura was their goddess, and she had taken the initiative to ask Kevin to practice with her.
Kevin felt awkward. He glanced at Albert, whose face looked grim, and scratched his head, saying, "This might not be a good idea. I'm strong, and I'm afraid you won't be able to hold me down."
"It's okay. If I can't hold you down, we can put sandbags on your legs," Laura said with a smile. "Besides, my mom told you to take care of me at school. You can't go back on your word."
Remembering how Daisy had stripped naked to educate him at noon, Kevin was at a loss for words. He had to repay the favor somehow.
Feeling guilty towards Albert, Kevin gave him an apologetic look and followed Laura to a mat. Several pairs of boys and girls were already practicing, laughing and having a good time.
"Who goes first?" Kevin asked.
"I'll go first," Laura said, blushing. She lay down on the mat, bent her legs, and had Kevin squat in front of her, holding her ankles. She placed her hands lightly behind her ears and slowly lifted her upper body 10 centimeters off the ground, performing a standard sit-up to effectively train her abdominal muscles. The passing standard was 45 sit-ups in one minute.
Holding someone's ankles could be tiring, so some boys would lazily wrap their arms around the girls' legs, taking the opportunity to cop a feel. Most girls didn't mind this physical contact, as they were curious about the opposite sex during puberty. PE class provided a legitimate chance to explore each other's bodies.
Some close pairs would even make intimate moves, and the PE teacher would turn a blind eye. Some sleazy male teachers would take advantage of the girls, who didn't dare to speak up. However, no one dared to mess with someone of Laura's status.
