Chapter 326: Proof of bias.
"Arrrrghhh!" Esong groaned and covered his eyes, "I can’t believe this."
To antagonize him further Scarlet jumped from side singing, "I win, I win, I win I win I win."
Justin would not be left behind in his mothers’ celebration, he run away from Cecily and joined his mother jumping up and down.
"Yey mommy, hooray mommy." he shouted.
She took his hands and they skipped around in a circular manner, round and round.
[Please mecha king, it’s not over yet so get back in the battle and deliver as you always do.]
[I refuse to accept her win and I stand by the mecha king.]
[Congratulations our beautiful chef I knew that you would do it.]
[Esong Wu is still getting my vote, that black thing he has cooked is my choice.I will never betray him, I will die on this hill.]
"Tsk, tsk, Scarlet I think you are still going to lose this cook off." Cecily shouted.
Scarlet stopped jumping around and she looked at Cecily with disbelief and questions in her eyes. Why would she lose when Esong never even made it to the finishing line?
"The audience is biased, so biased." Cecily squeezed her eyes as she explained the extreme bias of the viewers.
She was right, the voting poll showed Esong ahead of Scarlet by millions of votes.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again, just in case her eyes were deceiving her. While she shook her head in disbelief, Esong placed his hands around her shoulders and said, "I guess the public has decided, I am the winner."
"You can’t win, their judgement is compromised because of your identity." She shrugged his hand off her shoulder and hissed unhappily. Then, she pointed at the camera and said, "You guys are not cool. I will not give you a taste of my rice burger, I am going to be just as petty as you."
Esong covered his mouth and chortled, but his thumb was facing upwards as he nodded at the viewers.
"You are cool." he told them. The audience had decided, he was the winner and not her. She could jump, dance, scream but those votes were not changing.
She slapped the hand which was holding the thumb up lightly and switched off the camera.
"Heeey!!!, why did you do that?" he complained.
"You have one hundred sixty eight million votes and I have twenty!!! I don’t even have any hope of catching up because the people adore you. This is not just unfair, it’s cheating." she glared at him and moved away from him.
She got the rice patty and sliced it into smaller pieces for Justin to eat while she prepared actual food for him to eat.
She had many pizzas in her storage space which were not cooked, and she took out two of those and put them in the oven.
Still ignoring Esong petulantly, she went and sat down next to Cecily with a pout on her lips.
Esong followed her and squeezed himself in the chair next to her. "Come on, are you still mad about your loss?"
"I did not lose." she answered loudly.
"Mummy won." Justin said.
"I agree with my great grand baby." Cecily said. "The people did not see the difference between mecha king Esong Wu and plain husband Esong Wu."
"Mummy this leaf is not sweet." Justin complained.
Scarlet saw him pulling pieces of the lettuce from the small slices of the rice burger with a disgusted look on his face.
"If you keep picking at your food like this I am going to put you on a nutrient solution diet." she threatened him.
"But mummy..." he whined.
"No, food is precious baby, eat your food." she replied sternly.
She steeled her heart against his tear filled grey eyes and pouted lips that were wobbling slightly.
"Maybe he should not eat the lettuce, just for today." Cecily said softly.
"No, grandmother Cissy, he is becoming extremely spoiled and picky with food. Do you know how many people would love to eat this lettuce?" Scarlet continued watching Justin sternly.
She may spoil him but she didn’t want him to become a spoiled brat like little Bubu.
"Then don’t give him foods that he doesn’t like." Cecily suggested.
"That is not the point or the lesson I am trying to teach him. I need him to appreciate all the food and the labor that goes into producing it. He secrets throws away broccoli, carrots, egg yolks, and anything he doesn’t want, it’s getting out of hand. If you encourage this habit of his, then you are just as biased as Esong’s supporters." Scarlet replied strongly, even banging the side f her hand down gently on the table to drive her point home.
"That’s why I am saying that he should eat only what he wants. If you give him what he doesn’t want It’s obvious that he will waste it." Cecily insisted that her thinking was right.
To her, the solution was simple and Scarlet was just being.
"Lady Cecily.." Scarlet said in an irritated voice
"Mother, I will eat." Justin shouted in his small voice.
Both women turned to look at him, and the heckles rising from both of them calmed down a little bit.
It looked to Esong and Justin like the two women were gearing up to break into an all out war over lettuce.
"You don’t have to force yourself." Cecily told him in a worried voice.
Scarlet carried Justin and made him look at her so that she could drive her point home. "Yes, you don’t have to force yourself but you should stop being picky. Just because you don’t like the taste doesn’t mean you should throw it away. Even untasty foods are good for the body and your health. It’s just like your reading classes at school, you hated them but still attended class daily because reading is good for you. Baby, do you understandwhat mommy is saying?"
Justin frowned, but he still nodded. Scarlet had truly driven her point home by comparing food to reading. He hated it because he was not the best in class at it and sometimes a few mean kids made fun of how he pronounced some words. But he was now better at it, and he enjoyed reading to others these stories his mother read to him.
"That’s excellent baby, mommy is so happy that you understand." She rubbed his head gently and kissed him on the cheek.
With a smile, Justin tentatively chewed an entire rice burger with lettuce this time. A few more bites in and he was not frowning anymore.
Cecily watched them both carefully and when she confirmed that Justin was indeed fine with the lettuce, she laughed and said, "I guess a mother always knows what’s best for her child."
"I like to think so." Scarlet said.
"I will not question your judgement again." Cecily told her.
The tension between them both was alleviated with the unofficial apology from Cecily.
"Can we have pizza now?" Esong asked.
Both women laughed at him, the big man whose mouth had been sealed shut when they were at war but open when they were at peace. Esong avoided confrontation whenever possible.
"Yes, let’s have pizza." Scarlet said.
"And then we can discuss this trip to the Grey star which you are planning." Cecily told them both.
