When Sheila heard that, she panicked and hastily said to Elsa, "Don't believe a word he says, Elsa. His barbecued meats are the best. They're better than any dish you find at a five-star restaurant! You'll regret it if you don't get a taste of it."
Diane immediately chimed in and said, "Absolutely! He's just saying that to avoid going through all the trouble. His barbecue is the best I've ever had."
Sofia then gulped and added, "Stop it, you two. Just thinking about the aroma is enough to trigger my inner carnivore."
Elsa had a puzzled expression as she responded, "Aren't you exaggerating? I guess I'll have to give it a try then." She then turned to Severin and said with a smile, "Looks like your three wives love your barbecue very much. Guess we'll have to go with that for today's reward then..."
Severin was speechless. He raised his eyebrows playfully as he retorted, "But didn't you just say you don't like greasy food?"
Elsa grinned mischievously and said, "That was then and this is now. The majority has spoken, so I've decided to be the bigger person and sample your culinary skills."
"Can't run away from it now, can you?" Sheila chuckled heartily.
"I want to eat some too!" Selene jumped for joy several times.
Diane concurred and said, "Oh yeah! Selene hasn't tasted your cooking yet! You are obliged to make that today."
