NovelEnglishRamona curtsied gracefully like a young lady in the upper class. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Heninger. I'm fond of biology, and I plan to major in medicine and microbiology.” Aurelia pressed a hand to her forehead. Child prodigies certainly seemed to mature early.
Even at such a young age, they already had their futures mapped out.
Suddenly, she felt awkwardly out of place, as if she were the only non-genius among them.
She glanced at William's wrist, noticing the smartwatch that doubled as a phone.
“I've got the sbrand of smartwatch. Can we add each other as friends?” “Sure.” William raised his wrist, and with a quick shake, they synced up as friends.

“Let’s wait until school starts,” he replied casually.
A hint of disappointment flickered across Ramona's face. “Alright then.” As lunchtapproached, she waved goodbye. “I'm off to grab a bite. See you guys when school starts.” With that, she bounced away.
William watched her leave, his heart filled with anticipation for the new school semester.
Having so many classmates to interact with sounded like a blast.
Ramona walked into the dining room slowly, the smile vanishing from her face, replaced by a heavy concern.
A message popped up on her smartwatch, reading, [Did you meet who you were supposed to?] [How are my mom and dad?] [As long as you follow instructions, they'll be fine. Otherwise, you won't see them again.] Tears rimmed Ramona's eyes, but she bit her lip and held them back. She couldn't cry. She had to stay strong to save her parents.
At noon, Aurelia and Arnold returned to Blossom Villa with the kids.
Zack and Jolin had prepared a sumptuous lunch, waiting for them.
Arnold popped open a bottle of champagne.
“To Skyler! Congratulations on having been accepted by the elite program at Pinnacle Ivy League School. Soon, you'll be a genius educator.” Skyler was on cloud nine, having already shared the good news with his parents.
They were thrilled for him, saying he was finally growing up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe sipped the champagne, grinning ear to ear. “William, Kane, we’ll head to school together next week.” Aurelia had thoughtfully prepared gifts for the start of school.
She raised her glass. “Tflies. The kids are off to school, hoping you'll have fun.” The phrase 'study hard' went unspoken.
For child prodigies, grades were nothing. They could ace their tests without a sweat, which was beyond her ordinary intellect.
If she hadn't birthed two genius sons, she wouldn't have known about the elite classes designed for gifted children or how keenly top universities clamored for them, reserving spots and lining up for their choice.
Her intelligence limited her imagination.
They clinked glasses, the sound as merry as bells ringing across the table.
Aurelia took a sip of champagne, jokingly musing. “I need to work on raising my 1Q.” William, ever so stern, replied, “Mom, with a high IQ, you outsmart 99 percent of the global population and are only one point shy of the elite program. It's unlikely for a mother with a low IQ to have high-IQ sons. Generally, a son inherits more 1Q from his mother while a daughter inherits more from her father.” Aurelia scratched her head, her eyes rolling in thought. Leopold's IQ was higher. If they had a daughter, wouldn't her IQ be off the charts? Well then, it was high tto consider having a daughter to inherit Leopold's brainpower.
