My Accidental Harem-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."

Kevin had expected Mia to say that but couldn’t help feeling resentful. If she wanted to keep her distance, why did she ask him to go shopping, taking away his time with Camila?

Mia seemed to read his mind and continued. "Kevin, I know you like me, but how much? Do you truly like me, or are you like Quentin and the others, who just want to sleep with me? From what I see, you’re no different from Quentin." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Kevin’s face turned red with anger, feeling insulted. "Mrs. Wilson, I’m not like Quentin. I genuinely like you. I would never hurt you or force you to do anything you don’t want to. It’s unfair for you to say that."

"Alright. I take back what I said." Mia sighed. "Kevin, you have the freedom to like me, and I can’t interfere with that. But whether I accept your feelings is also my freedom, and you shouldn’t force me. Do you agree?"

Kevin was speechless. He reluctantly nodded after a moment. Mia smiled triumphantly, thinking of her days as a debate champion in college. She was confident in her reasoning skills, especially when dealing with a high school student like Kevin.

She had called Kevin out today to have a serious talk, help him understand what was best for him, and avoid unrealistic fantasies. It wasn’t good for either of them. Mia didn’t want this conversation to be too serious, so she used the shopping trip as an excuse. "Well, it’s simple. You like me, and I’m happy about that, but that’s it." Mia said. "Kevin, in life, we’ll meet many people we like, but not everyone we like will like us back. One day, you’ll meet a woman you truly love, and then you’ll understand what it means to love and be loved. Right now, you’re too young to get it."

"Mia Wilson, I understand. I know what love is," Kevin said, suddenly emotional, grabbing Mia’s smooth hand. "From the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one. I really love you and want to be with you. When you’re sad, I’m sad. When others bully you, all I want to do is protect you. I want to protect you forever."

Mia instinctively tried to pull away, but Kevin held on tightly. After a few struggles, she gave up and let him hold her hands, feeling a flutter in her heart.

If such passionate words had come from an adult man, Mia would have dismissed him as immature and frivolous. But hearing them from a young boy gave them a weight that left her breathless. The arguments she had prepared before meeting Kevin suddenly seemed impossible to voice. She could win any logical debate, but emotions didn’t follow logic. Otherwise, Mia, a cold and proud married teacher, wouldn’t have fallen for a high school student after rejecting many admirers.

"Kevin, calm down," Mia said, her face slightly flushed. She sighed, unable to be harsh with him. If it were Quentin Rodriguez pulling her on the street, she would have slapped him. She had said there was no fundamental difference between Kevin and Quentin to imply that, emotionally and physically, she was already committed and couldn’t share herself with anyone else. But explaining it so bluntly felt too cruel for Kevin. Mia hoped he would gradually understand these truths and that his feelings for her would naturally cool over time.

"Mia Wilson, I don’t have any other intentions. I just want to see you every day. Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you with your family or force you to accept me," Kevin said, his voice choked. He knew Mia was right, but he instinctively felt that agreeing with her would mean losing any chance of being with her. "If you don’t believe me, I can write you a guarantee."

Mia couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, but seeing Kevin’s serious expression, she felt touched. Since receiving her first love letter in middle school,
