<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, let''s get something to eat," Sophia pped her hands. The family talked a lot. It was time to get something to eat. The others nodded. Like that, everyone arrived at the dining room.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re sitting here," Sophia stated as she saw how Laura was about to sit next to Keith.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to sit with Big Brother!" Laura stared at Sophia.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then you can take a seat next to me and him," Sophia smiled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"?" What''s going on? Keith didn''t know what was going on as he sat down. There was a weird tension.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What has Gus prepared?" Keith questioned one of the maids. With how long he was gone, Gus should have sharpened his skills.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Gus has prepared a seared steak today with brussell sprouts on the side." The maid answered as it was brought out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Awesome," Keith and the others looked down at the seared steak. Keith smiled as he cut into it. A perfect medium rare. Gus did good. Keith ate the steak.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was tasty. And the others seemed to like it as well. Well, there was one person who didn''t.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ugh,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Laura?" Keith looked over to Laura.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hate them," Laura stated. She had a disgusted expression as she stared at the brussels sprouts.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have to eat them," Before Keith could ask, Sophia had spoken.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t want to," Laura stared back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re eating it," Sophia gave a deadly smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">Huh? Keith was surprised that Sophia would be this angry. She was really soft on her children. It was rare for her to be this angry. So he was surprised this was happening. He turned to William and the others, who shook their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">He looked across to Alvin, asking him for an exnation.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Laura hasn''t been eating her vegetables," Alvin exined.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But she ate them before," Keith remembered. She may not like them, but she still ate them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"She had. But once you left, that all stopped," Alvin grabbed his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Wasn''t that like a month ago?
<span style="font-weight:400">"...And the two have been fighting like this?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You have to eat it," Sophia repeated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No!" Laura shook her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Laura," Sophia red at the child. Laura shivered as she quickly grabbed onto Keith. The man was a hero to her!
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith patted her head, "Laura, you know eating vegetables will help you grow, right?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Laura nodded,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then why don''t you have a bite," Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But it doesn''t taste good!" Laura stated.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh," Keith looked down at the brussels sprouts. He understood why she didn''t like it. This vegetable didn''t suit a child''s taste. It had a lot of nutrients. But it had a bitter taste.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about I make it taste better?" Keith suggested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really?" Laura blinked. She didn''t believe he could make it taste better.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Have I lied to you before?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No," Laura shook her head. Whenever Keith made a promise, he would keep it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright," Keith got up from the table, "I will be back," Like that, Keith entered the kitchen,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Boss, you''re here. Are you nning to cook?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," Keith nodded,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is it because of the youngdy''s hate for vegetables?" Gus questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yep. You know about it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please save me!" Gus pped his hand onto Keith''s shoulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I can''t get the youngdy to eat any vegetables no matter how hard I try!" Gus didn''t know what to do. He made some vegetables for her to eat. But she didn''t!
<span style="font-weight:400">She refused to eat any vegetables!
<span style="font-weight:400">His mind was hurting from the thought of what to cook. Sophia said to cook more vegetables for her. But the child continued to refuse.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Leave it to me," Keith sighed as he got to work. From what I heard, it seemed brussels sprouts are the problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was the one vegetable Laura refused to eat.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm, I guess I should do something different," Keith stated in a calm voice.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How are you going to do that?" Gus watched from the sidelines, curious about what Keith would do.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to roast them instead," Keith answered. He quickly took out a metal sheet. Keith cut the brussels sprouts in half and ced them into a bowl. He started to shake them around and tossed some seasoning into the bowl, coating it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith poured the sprouts onto the metal sheet, spreading them apart from the other. He ced it into the oven to let it roast.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We just need to wait now."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Does roasting vegetables change the vors?" Gus questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. It does change the vor and the textures of vegetables. I''ll let you taste first," Keith smiled as they waited. While he did that,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Laura, Leon, what''s the matter?" Keith questioned. He saw Laura and Leon standing by the door,
