Chapter 199
"Do you have other plans? Or are you in a hurry to go home?" Mia’s tone grew impatient as she saw Kevin hesitate. "Fine, I’ll find someone else."
Seeing Mia turn to leave, Kevin panicked. He couldn’t miss such a good opportunity and quickly blocked her path. "Mrs. Wilson, I’m in!"
At that moment, Kevin decided he would accompany Mia shopping and then explain it to Camila later.
"That’s more like it. Let’s go." Mia smiled radiantly, her eyes sparkling. Even in casual clothes, she looked stunning, living up to her reputation as the school’s most beautiful woman.
As they walked side by side to the school gate, a group of middle school students lined up to leave, casting curious glances at the tall Mia. An old man with gray hair, **Mr. Nelson**, stepped out from the guardhouse, smiling. "Mrs. Wilson, off work? And this is...?" His gaze fell on Kevin, who was a few inches taller than Mia. They looked like a couple, though Mia was supposedly married.
"Oh, Mr. Nelson, this is my cousin Kevin, a high school student," Mia said with a smile, naturally taking Kevin’s hand and introducing him to the guard. This way, she subtly made it normal for people at the school to see them together.
Kevin’s heart raced as Mia’s warm, smooth hand held his, his fingers stiffening in shock. This was the first time Mia had initiated physical contact with him since they met.
"Oh, your cousin, huh? That explains why he’s so handsome." Mr. Nelson laughed, nodding. He looked back and forth between Kevin and Mia, thinking they looked like a family, both tall and good-looking.
"Goodbye, Mr. Nelson." Mia warmly held Kevin’s hand as they left the school. Seeing the envious looks of the boys around, Kevin felt elated. Having such a beautiful and sexy "cousin" to walk around school with was amazing.
But soon after leaving the school gate, Mia let go of Kevin’s hand. Seeing his disappointed expression, she smiled slightly and said, "Kevin, don’t overthink it. I was just acting in front of others. I’ve already made it clear that nothing will happen between us. We’re just friends."
