Chapter 250 We Live Together
Seeing how he couldn’t be helped, Cameron said, “Xander, you don’t have to force yourself. If you really can’t focus, pushing yourself won’t help.”
But that only made Xander feel challenged. “Who says I can’t? I’ve still got two months.
I’m all in.”
Cameron reopened the math book. “Alright then. Let’s keep going.”
Xander was speechless.
Just then, Gwen popped in with a warm smile. “Cameron, Xan, dinner’s ready. You’ve both worked hard at studying. Come eat first and study after.”
“Coming.” Xander shot up from his chair and dashed over to his mom.
Cameron had no words.
The dining room sparkled under a crystal chandelier, the table overflowing with dishes worthy of a five–star spread.
“Brad, these are all just some simple home cooking. Don’t mind it,” Logan said warmly.
Bradley smiled. “Uncle Logan, you’re being way too modest. This is a feast.”
Xander muttered, “Dad, you even brought out the imported lobster. How is this home cooking?”
Logan was caught off guard, and Gwen gave Xander a discreet nudge and whispered, ” You little rascal, don’t embarrass your dad in front of our guests.”
Xander had no words, the corners of his mouth twitching hard again. He thought, ‘ Guest? Bradley? When Cameron came over, my parents treated him like family. But now that it’s Bradley, suddenly he’s some kind of VIP? Isn’t that a bit unfair?‘
Xander understood the situation well, but he just didn’t want to admit it. He didn’t like that his parents thought Bradley was better than he was in every way possible.
He wondered if that was the reason Cameron liked hanging out with Brad more too, and it exasperated him.
Thinking of this, Xander shot Cameron another glare.
Cameron caught it and asked, “What’s wrong with your eye? Is it twitching?”
Xander had no words.
“Xan, are your eyes okay?” Gwen asked, full of concern.
“I’m fine,” he clarified.
Just in time, he spotted his dad about to serve Bradley the biggest lobster. He quickly snatched it and dropped it in Cameron’s plate. “Eat up. Tutoring me must’ve been

exhausting.”
“Thank you,” Cameron replied.
Logan’s hand froze in midair. Theh he picked up another lobster for Bradley and said, ” Don’t mind him, Brad. This kid is just a bit of a troublemaker.”
“I’m not a kid. I’m an adult now.” Xander protested.
Logan was speechless. Meanwhile, Gwen frowned. “Xan, what’s up with you tonight? You’re acting so weird.”
“I’m not,” he insisted.
His parents exchanged a look. Then, Gwen smiled at Cameron. “Cam, make yourself at home, okay? Here, try some of this pork belly.”
“Thank you, Aunt Gwen,” Cameron said politely.
Logan said, “No need to be so formal, Cam.”
With both his parents‘ attention on Cameron, Xander finally returned to his normal
state.
After dinner, Logan pulled Bradley aside for a private chat.
