What a coincidence?!
Norton Jarvis 'leapt' up all of a sudden.
Gem Atkinson waved his hand as if he had read Norton's mind and said, "Don't get excited, don't jump to conclusions. There are countless surrogate mothers in the world, who's to say that number seventeen is definitely the one who gave birth to your daughter?"
Having his thoughts read by his good brother, Norton's face turned red, and his neck thickened as he said, "What am I excited about? What am I imagining? I'm not thinking that at all. Besides, she gave birth to twins, twins. And the contract I signed with the agency was for one, one child."
That expression, that tone of voice, really...
Dead set in denial!
Heh heh.
Gem Atkinson looked disdainfully at Norton and said, "Fine, you're not excited, you're not jumping to conclusions. But why the big jump?"
