A flicker of disappointment flashed across Sebastian's face. His mood was going through a short period of feeling elated or blue. Genetic inheritance? Well, he didn't even know who the kid's father was! How could he know about how this kid got his IQ?
Out of nowhere his heart sank thinking of it, and Bonnie noticed that too. As a person feeling camera-shy, she voluntarily took the microphone and said, "Among other things, I believe company from the parents matters the most."
The journalist nodded with apparent agreement, "I can't be more jealous of you two, a great couple, showing much care for each other, not to mention your outstanding children."
"Thank you," Bonnie felt so much relief that their focus eventually shifted, and Sebastian returned to his usual calm look. Later the journalists asked several other questions about raising kids and hoped to end the interview with a photograph.
The photograph was intended for Andrew, but one journalist suggested taking a family photograph.
"Me?" Bonnie froze, "There's no need for me to be in this picture."
"Don't be shy. It's a good chance to let everybody know Andrew's extraordinary family."
Joanna also looked up with hope and said, "Let's do this, please?"
