Chapter 197 Completely Clueless
"Fine, I''ll transfer the money to youter," Gwen said with augh as Xander and Cameron headed upstairs.
Once they were gone, Gwen turned to Logan with a smile. "Our son has finally made a decent friend. Those losers he used to hang out with were such bad news."
Logan nodded. "Cam seems like a good kid."
Meanwhile, Cameron followed Xander into the study.
The Murphy Manor''s study was massive, with well over a thousand square feet with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves packed with every kind of book imaginable. It was basically a mini library.
Xander strolled in and immediately sprawled across the leather couch like he owned the ce, feet up, munching on an apple like some kind of pampered prince.
"Sit properly," Cameron frowned.
Xander nced at her, and to her surprise, actually dropped his feet and straightened up.
Cameron settled into the armchair next to him, cing her apple in the fruit bowl. "Which subject do you want to start with?"
"Whatever." Xander shrugged.
"Whatever'' isn''t a subject," Cameron said tly.
Xander tossed his apple core into the trash can. “Let''s go with English Literature."
"English Lit doesn''t need tutoring," Cameron said. "Just spend more time memorizing and you''ll be fine. Anyone who can write can pass that ss."
"Are you saying I can''t write?" Xander raised an eyebrow.
Cameron just stared at him.
"What about Spanish then?" Xander asked, wiping his hands.
Cameron nodded. "Show me your textbook."
"Don''t have it." Xander shrugged.
"How am I supposed to tutor you without a book?"
Xander looked at her like the answer was obvious. "Who brings textbooks home
during break? Aren''t we tortured with them enough at school?"
Cameron rolled her eyes.
“Look,” Xander said, noting her exasperation, “just give me whatever help you can. I''ll pay you either way."
"I''m here to work, not rob you," Cameron replied tly.
Now it was Xander''s turn to be speechless. He scratched his head. "So how do you want to do this?"
"Go grab aptop," Cameron said.
"Fine." Xander stood up.
That was when he noticed Gwen standing in the doorway. She''d been there for a while, holding a tray with two coffees and a fancy-looking dessert.
"Thought you two might need something to drink," Gwen said with a warm smile.
"Thanks, Mom," Xander said, taking the tray. "You should go rx."
Gwen peeked into the room, her eyes softening as she looked at Cameron. "Alright, I''ll let you two work."
Gwen headed downstairs, practically dragging Logan by the arm when she found him. "Babe, you should''ve seen it. You
have no idea how much Xander listens to Cam. I swear, Cam has more authority with him than either of us."
"Seriously?" Logan couldn''t believe it. Xander was such a rebellious kid, always doing the exact opposite of what Logan told him.
Gwen nodded eagerly. "Dead serious."
Logan drummed his fingers on the armrest, wheels turning in his head.
Sessfully unlocked!
Meanwhile, Xander handed Cameron hisptop. She pulled up hisst Spanish practice exam and slid it in front of him. "Do
this."
Xander groaned, rubbing his face. "I don''t know how." He absolutely hated
homework, especially Spanish.
"Do it," Cameron said tly.
Chapter 197 Completely Clueless
Left with no choice, Xander basically gave up before starting. He randomly picked answers for the multiple choice and left everything else nk.
Cameron stared at the disaster of a Spanish test, almost all of it wrong. She fixed Xander with an incredulous look. "Haven''t your parents hired you a Spanish tutor?"
''How could anyone possibly get it this wrong?'' Cameron wondered.
Xander shrugged. "Yeah, they did. I drove them all away."
Cameron waspletely speechless.
"Let''s get started," Xander said, randomly pointing at a multiple-choice question. "How do I solve this one?"
Cameron tapped the question with her finger. "First, let''s look at what it''s asking. Do you understand what this means?"
Xander just stared nkly and shook his head. “Nope."
Cameron couldn''t believe it.
