DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Orion was always a bit of a frosty character, keeping everyone at arm’s length. Despite years of service at the Thompson household, the staff had never seen him warm up to any guest like he did today, and he even cracked a rare smile!
“Liam, look at Mr. Lockwood, Ms. Nightshade, and Sebastian together. Don’t they look like a family of three?”
“Absolutely! They’re just like a newlywed couple helping their son with his homework!”
“Stop kidding around! Ms. Nightshade is a guest, and she looks quite young, maybe not even of age yet,” the butler reprimanded them, but he couldn’t help smiling too. Mr. Lockwood treated Ms. Nightshade differently.
“Xan, you haven’t said if it’s true or not?”
Sebastian blinked his innocent big eyes expectantly at Xanthea, who massaged her forehead and closed her eyes in resignation. “You just said you always score first in math tests. Is it the highest score or the lowest?”
“Of course, the highest!”
“And how many students are there in your class?
“A lot, why do you ask, Xan?”
“Are you sure it’s not just you?” Xanthea couldn’t take it anymore and when she opened her eyes, Orion was already smiling, his charm barely concealing her defeat.
“Orion, can you stop laughing?”
“I did warn you.”
“Well, if you’re so smart, why don’t you try!”
“No, no,” Seeing the situation, Sebastian quickly grabbed her sleeve, “Xan, your voice is nice, I want you to tutor me!”
Xanthea stood up, ruthlessly pulling away his hand, “If I tutor you any longer, I’ll turn into a roaring lioness!”
She thought Orion understood Sebastian well enough not to tutor him, but as soon as she stood up, he took the still-warm chair she had just vacated.
Oh, quite confident, huh? Seems like he’s done this before, got experience?
She was curious to see what tricks he had up his sleeve to handle this little monster.
“Pick up the pencil.”
“Ugh.”

Sebastian reluctantly picked up the pencil and flipped open his workbook, then under Orion’s direction, began to solve problems.
“What’s 1+2+3+4+…+100?”
“5050!”
“How did you solve it?”
“By using the Gauss’s formula (first term + last term) x number of terms ÷ 2.”
“Describe the picture, in English.”
“Once upon a time, there was a little fox…”
In just a few minutes of tutoring, it was like a magical movie unfolding before Xanthea.
She couldn’t believe her eyes. Was this the same boy she had been tutoring just ago?
moments
Not only could he form logical long sentences, but he also knew Gauss’s formula!
Was the little rascal just playing with her earlier? Or did he prefer this style of tutoring? What a joke, Orion’s method wasn’t tutoring at all, it was more like a bossy CEO barking orders!

After staring in shock for a while, she realized that this sly uncle-nephew duo was j fooling her!

One was playing dumb to tease her, and the other, fully aware of everything, just watched her struggle in silence.
“Very well then!” she exclaimed, finally catching on to their game.
