Chapter 842: The Woman Who Sows Seeds
"Alright, that's it for today's lesson. Class dismissed," Audrey said with a charming smile to the dozen or so students in front of her.
These students were children from nearby residential areas attending Audrey's summer tutoring class. Each student paid a fee of $1,800 for a 15-day course. Audrey had hesitated when setting this price, knowing that back in her hometown, tutoring classes weren’t this expensive. However, after researching the tutoring prices in Starhaven, she was taken aback. Her price was actually quite reasonable. Most tutoring classes here were exorbitantly priced, with one-on-one sessions starting at $300 per hour, and even more for renowned teachers. She couldn’t help but marvel at the earning opportunities in Starhaven. No wonder Lucas was so reluctant to leave once he arrived.
In fact, Audrey had been wavering over the past few days, wondering if she should resign and find a tutoring job in Starhaven. It would certainly pay more than her current school job, and she could be with her husband. Being together would naturally strengthen their relationship, eliminating any potential distance between them, while also increasing their income. The only things holding her back were her acquaintances at the school and, of course, Kevin.
Thinking of Kevin brought a twinge of pain to her heart. She hadn’t contacted him in days, and Kevin hadn’t called her either. The sweet memories they shared seemed to be fading, as if they had never happened.
Audrey didn’t know what mindset she would have when she returned home to face Kevin. Perhaps they would become the most familiar strangers, but they could never go back to how things were. She didn’t want to continue betraying her husband. Over this period, she had learned more about Lucas's life. Although she still didn’t know exactly what he was doing, she knew he was very busy and tired. Whenever he came home, he barely had time to talk before grabbing his clean clothes and leaving again.
Back home, Audrey had worried that Lucas might have another woman. But seeing his current state, her concerns vanished, replaced by a deep sense of guilt. Thinking about what she had done with Kevin made her feel even more ashamed. Thankfully, she had managed to keep the final line uncrossed, not letting Kevin's penis enter her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face her husband.
Perhaps she and Kevin should never have started. Her situation was different from Alissa's. Alissa already had a child with her husband, and her focus was on work and her child, with little emotional attachment left for her husband. So, maintaining a relationship with Kevin didn’t affect her mood and even strengthened her marriage.
But Audrey had only been married for a few years and had no children with Lucas. Continuing a physical relationship with Kevin would only drive her and Lucas further apart, eventually leading to separation.
Audrey walked out of the classroom with her books, and a short man approached her, handing her a bottle of water with a smile. "Audrey, it's hot out. Drink some water."
This man was George. He no longer worked at the construction site and had become Audrey’s full-time assistant. He was responsible for cleaning the classroom, arranging the desks and chairs, maintaining order, and even handling assignments and after-class tutoring. Audrey paid him $200 a day. Although it might not be more than what he earned at the construction site, the work was easier, and George was happy to do it.
"Thank you," Audrey said, taking the water and drinking a sip. She was indeed a bit thirsty, as she taught three classes a day in the hot weather, which was a strain on both her body and voice. Everything in Starhaven was great, except for the stifling climate, which she found hard to bear. She wore a light, breathable dress, and even with a fan in the classroom, she would soon be drenched in sweat, making her dress stick to her body uncomfortably.
"Audrey, two more students’ parents inquired about enrolling today. Should we accept them?" George asked, flipping through a black notebook with the details. "I told them the first session was full and they’d have to wait for the second session. They said they were willing to wait and pay any price. It seems our tutoring class has a good reputation now. Your teaching is excellent, Audrey. Even I get engrossed listening."
"Really? Thank you," Audrey said with a charming smile. Her bright eyes were captivating, and her slightly parted lips revealed neat rows of teeth. Her red spaghetti-strap dress clung to her body, accentuating her ample, firm breasts and the curves of her full hips. Her long, white legs were straight and alluring.
George felt his mouth go dry at the sight of Audrey's mature, sexy body. He thought Lucas was incredibly lucky to have such a beautiful and capable wife. How wonderful it would be if Audrey were his wife.
Every day, George arrived at the classroom half an hour early to meticulously clean the floor, mopping it twice, and carefully wiping each desk, especially Audrey’s podium, which he polished until it shone. After class, he would clean again.
Others joked that he was now Audrey’s personal secretary, even asking if he washed her underwear and if it smelled nice. They teased him about whether he helped wash Audrey’s butt. George ignored these malicious jokes. Compared to the monotonous work at the construction site, he preferred his current life. He felt fulfilled every day and sensed that he was improving, both in outlook and mindset. He no longer spent his evenings watching live streams and tipping female streamers with his hard-earned money just to hear them say sweet things to him. Instead, he read books under the covers with a flashlight, even if others laughed at him for dreaming. All of this was thanks to the sexy and charming Audrey.
As they walked shoulder to shoulder up to the second floor, George felt his blood rushing downward, his lower body involuntarily becoming aroused. He glanced at Audrey nervously but couldn’t help savoring the wonderful feeling.
Audrey’s impression of George had improved over this period. She found him to be honest, hardworking, and never complaining. With him as her assistant, she didn’t have to worry about anything else and could focus on preparing her lessons. She even planned to give George a bonus after the tutoring session ended.
"George, do you still have time to study with all the work you do?" Audrey asked gently. "Don’t let these tasks interfere with your main goal. You need to prepare well for your exams and get your diploma soon. It’ll make finding a job easier."
"Don’t worry, Audrey. I complete the assignments you give me every day," George said, scratching his head shyly. "But there are some parts I don’t understand, and I don’t want to bother you during your rest."
"It’s okay. I’ve told you before, you can ask me anytime if you have questions," Audrey said with a light laugh. "George, you’re different from others. You’re more ambitious. It would be a waste for you to be a laborer all your life. I believe you’ll achieve more than anyone else here."
"Really? Do you really think I can do it?" George was so excited by Audrey’s affirmation that he stammered, his eyes shining. No one had ever believed in him like this before.
"Of course. As long as you don’t give up, you’ll succeed," Audrey nodded earnestly. As a teacher, she knew that every word she said was like a seed planted in the listener’s heart. She didn’t know when the seed would sprout, bloom, and bear fruit, but she was willing to be the one who sows the seeds.
After parting ways with George, Audrey returned to her dormitory, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. She grabbed her basin and a change of clothes and headed to the nearby washroom. She quickly undressed, throwing her dress and underwear into the basin. Her snow-white, voluptuous body was now exposed, her large, round breasts swaying gently, the pink nipples like ripe fruit on branches, exuding the vitality of a young woman.
As she turned on the shower, the room quickly filled with steam. Audrey tilted her head back, letting the hot water cascade over her glistening white body, washing away the day’s fatigue and toil. This was her most relaxing and enjoyable time of the day. She rubbed a bar of soap over her body, soon covering herself in a layer of foam that flowed down her neck, cleavage, belly, and legs.
