Kevin loves his mom dearly and tries his best to do what she tells him to.

Kevin loves his mom dearly and tries his best to do what she tells him to. You can tell this by the way he obeys her when she tells him to leave the moving crew alone in Chapter 2, and by how he responds instantly to her call to come home to dinner in Chapter 4, when Kevin was hanging out with Max at his house when they first met.

Kevin is also aware that his mother, whose first name is Gwen, is exceptionally beautiful. He calls her "the Fair Gwen," or the "the Fair Guinevere," meaning "the beautiful Gwen." It's a reference to Arthurian legend, so you might say that by comparing his mother to a beautiful legendary queen, Kevin is showing his love and admiration for her. (Check out how excited he is in Chapter 4 to be explaining to his new friend Max why he calls his mother "the Fair Gwen"!)
