You Of All People

Seeing the struggling parents, Violet had an idea. She leaned towards King to whisper. After listening to her, King waved towards Tim.

A few minutes passed, Tim and a waiter approached the table. The waiter placed a small communal pot over a portable stove heated with a spirit lamp on the middle of the table. Inside the pot, something gooey was bubbling. The waiter then placed long-stemmed forks in front of them.

"What are this for Vy?" questioned Ellie curiously.

"King?" Neil glanced towards King, wondering what the couple was up to.

"Well, I had a friend who also had a hard time feeding her siblings. I remembered what she did then. This here is a Cheddar Cheese Fondue. Take that long forks. You too Elleis. Then pick up a veggie and dip it in the cheese. Don't forget to blow over it if it's too hot before eating" explained Violet whilst demonstrating.

The little guy was afraid at first but still followed his aunt's instructions. Elleis clumsily dipped the veggie and brought it on his plate. Braving himself to eat his nemesis, he raised it over his mouth. Feeling all eyes on him, he closed his eyes and quickly shoved it in. At first he slowly chewed, anticipating the incoming heinous taste. But when it didn't come, he opened his eyes and chewed the food in delight.

"HE ATE IT!" gasped Ellie.

"Lo-love! Nielle ate hers too" bellowed Neil while he held out the long fork to his daughter.

"Da! Nom?" Nielle cutely tilted her head as she called her father.

"Good" smiled Violet.

"VY!!!!!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS YEARS?! KING! YOU POSSESSIVE POPSICLE DEMON LORD! YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER SOONER?!" Ellie shouted while she accusingly pointed her index finger towards King.

"What? It can't be helped that 'MY V', emphasis on 'MY', is such a great woman. MY WOMAN! HOHOHOHO!" boasted King while laughing out loud without abandon.

'This guy. He really can't let go any chance to be conceited. Sigh', thought Violet while smiling unknowingly. She glanced at Ellie and then said, "Ell! Later I'll chat you the other ways to fool-ehem-make the children eat their veggies. It's not good for them to always eat cheese and eventually they'll get tired from it. It'll be much better to mix it up"

Ellie looked over with sparkling eyes and brought her hands together as if to worship her savior, Violet.

"Dude why do I get the feeling that if I didn't ran into you guys, we wouldn't have known about Violet? You disappeared Bro! You owe me an explanation! Even Adam was helpless. HE'S A DOCTOR AND HELPLESS! YET VIOLET WAS ABLE TO MAKE THEM EAT WITHOUT THE WATERWORKS AND TANTRUMS!" exclaimed Neil as if a huge burden has been lifted off his shoulders.

"I'm paying" King smugly smirked.

"Wha- Like I said you have great eyes! Yep! You found the only one Violet out of the world population of 7.7 Billion" Neil skillfully changed his tune.

"Yes, yes. Very generous and gentlemanly too" Ellie nodded along with her husband.

Outside the conversation of the a.d.u.l.ts, the two kids quietly stuffed their mouths looking like squirrels.
