Chapter 819: An Unexpected Gain
Audrey and George waited until past eleven at night before they heard footsteps outside. Stepping out, they saw Jason and Terrence stumbling back, supporting each other. They were covered in dirt, indicating they had fallen multiple times on their way back. Audrey frowned but said nothing, helping Jason inside while George took Terrence to the neighboring dormitory.
The next morning, Jason planned to take Audrey on a tour of the city, but he received a call from his boss assigning him a task, forcing him to leave abruptly. He ended up being gone for a week. With nothing else to do, Audrey stayed in the dormitory, tutoring George in his studies, and soon Terrence joined in.
Many of the workers in the courtyard were like George, eager to learn. Hearing that Audrey was offering free tutoring, they flocked to her lessons. Audrey decided to set up a tutoring class, teaching adult education exam topics to pass the time. She became quite busy, and George, feeling guilty, discussed with the others to collect a small fee as tuition.
Audrey, a graduate of a prestigious university and a high school teacher, taught clearly and methodically. Her lessons were engaging, quickly gaining popularity. Soon, over a hundred people had enrolled, including nearby high school students. Audrey ended up running two classes: an adult class in the morning and a student class in the afternoon, focusing on her specialty—English. The results were surprisingly good, and the parents were happy to pay for the lessons, which turned out to be an unexpected gain.
At night, after the students left, Audrey returned to her dormitory to rest. She mused about her fate as a teacher. Even during her summer break, she had ended up teaching again. However, running the tutoring classes earned her much more than teaching at school. In just a few days, she had collected nearly 20,000 yuan in tuition fees, and that was only for the first session. She hadn't dared to collect fees for subsequent sessions yet.
Starhaven was indeed more prosperous than her hometown. If she had tried to run a summer tutoring class back home, getting a dozen students would have been lucky, and she wouldn't have been able to charge as much. Audrey began to wonder if she should quit her school job and move to Starhaven to run a tutoring class. This way, she would earn more and be with her husband, solving their issues naturally.
However, thinking of Kevin made her hesitant. She knew she shouldn't maintain an ambiguous relationship with him, but leaving everything behind to start anew in an unfamiliar city made her feel lost. She was already twenty-six, and in a few years, she would be thirty. Many women her age already had children, while she would be starting over with her husband. When would it ever end?
Audrey took out her phone and called her husband. Jason was driving and said he'd be back in a day or two before hanging up quickly. Feeling frustrated and stifled in the hot dormitory, she went out to the corridor to catch some fresh air.
Audrey wore a black silk nightgown with thin straps hanging from her rounded shoulders. Her long neck and a large expanse of her fair chest were exposed, with a deep cleavage faintly visible. From the side, her large breasts stood out prominently, gently swaying with her breaths. Every movement exuded the charm of a mature woman, making her irresistibly alluring.
Returning to the dormitory, Audrey absentmindedly touched the calligraphy knife hanging around her neck. She wondered what Kevin was doing and if he missed her. But he hadn't called her in so long. Did he not care about her at all? Maybe he was truly angry.
She sighed softly, looking at his familiar number on her phone. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't resist her longing and called Kevin.
However, Kevin's phone was busy. Audrey tried for half an hour without getting through, feeling both resentful and curious. Who could Kevin be talking to for so long? Was it Alissa?
Imagining Kevin and Alissa sweet-talking on the phone made Audrey feel sad. In a fit of pique, she turned off her phone and lay down on the bed, thinking about all the moments she had shared with Kevin. She fell asleep unknowingly.
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard far away in their hometown, Kevin was at his desk, chatting on the phone. But the person on the other end wasn't Alissa; it was Laura, the class beauty from Class 57, his nominal girlfriend.
