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."

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?"
She hadn't taken one picture with her mom and dad, and she would wake up from a dream with a happy smile if
she were in a family photo like this.
Bonnie had to agree with Joanna's ceaseless begging.
Bonnie and Sebastian stood in the back with the four kids in the front.
"Would you please come a little closer? Form what is seen now you two aren't a loving couple." The journalists said.
So Bonnie moved a bit but still, there was a huge gap between them. This was killing Joanna! After thinking for a
while, she came up with an idea and snickered. As the journalist counted to three, Joanna shouted, "There's a

Caterpillar? Bonnie was so scared that she jumped into Sebastian's arms. Nailed it! They had never been the closest
ever! They almost kissed each other.
The journalists caught the perfect moment and pressed the shutter. Against the blue sky, parents in the back held
each other while kids in the front cocked their heads, smiling.
This photo was a prime price of artwork! The journalist could imagine the value of this news.
Today's trip was really rewarding. He packed up his camera and left joyfully. But Bonnie was still in Sebastian's arms.
Her face was pale and she was numb from shock. Complex feelings mixed inside Sebastian. For one moment, he
recalled the little Bonnie who also was afraid of caterpillars.
