Chapter 570 Strawberries
Cherise glanced at Soren with frustration. âPlease hurry back.â
âAlright!â
After hearing her sonâs response, Cherise turned and headed towards the kitchen.
Before Soren left, he reminded Serafina, âWait at home. Iâll be back with ice cream shortly!â
âMm!â
The girl nodded, her round head bobbing. âI want strawberry ice cream!â
Once Soren had departed, she settled on the sofa to watch cartoons, but her thoughts were already drifting
towards him.
Did Ren hear me ask for strawberry ice cream?
If he gets the wrong one, can he exchange it?
She grew more anxious as she pondered. When Cherise was preoccupied, Serafina opened the door and stood in
the hallway, awaiting Sorenâs return.
Ren told me not to wander off, but waiting for him at the elevator wouldnât count as wandering, right?
Just as the little girl was eagerly anticipating her brotherâs return, the door of the house opposite theirs. opened
with a click.
The scent of strawberries wafted out from the door!
Serafinaâs eyes widened in surprise. She curiously peered towards the house.
The house next door had been vacant since they moved in. When did someone move in?
Her eyes widened with curiosity, and she stealthily peeked at that houseâ¦
Strawberries!
An abundance of strawberries!
The coffee table in the living room of that house was laden with bright red strawberries!
Serafina gulped. She cautiously walked towards the door of that house.
Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly remembered something and stepped back.
No. I canât eat other peopleâs food or enter their houses!
She averted her gaze and refused to look at the crimson strawberries. She began to earnestly count the numbers
on the elevator instead.
Hurry back, Ren!
âHello.â

A deep voice suddenly echoed in her ear.
Serafina was startled and quickly looked up.
Standing at the door of that house was a tall and lanky man.
The man bore a striking resemblance to Soren!
Upon seeing his daughterâs shocked expression, Damien smiled faintly and crouched down to meet her gaze. âIâm
having a problem. Can you help me?â
Serafina instinctively retreated. Her childlike voice timidly echoed. âHow can I help you, mister?â
The man pointed at the pile of strawberries on his sofa in his house, looking somewhat distressed. âI canât possibly
finish all these strawberries.â
âTheyâll go bad if I keep them for another day. What should I do?â
Serafina looked where his finger was pointing and glanced at the strawberries. She unconsciously gulped. âThen
you⦠should quickly finish them.â
âBut I donât like strawberries.â
âCan you help me?â
âMommy said not to eat food from strangers.â
âBut weâre not strangers. Weâre neighbors.â
âMommy said not to eat food from unfamiliar neighbors either.â
âMister, why donât you like strawberries?â
Sitting on the sofa in her pink bunny pajamas, Serafina munched on strawberries while looking up at Damien with
her big eyes. âStrawberries are so tasty. Why donât you like them?â
âI just donât.â
Damien sat beside her, smiling as he observed her. âDo you like strawberries?â
âI do!â
Serafina nodded vigorously. âBut my brother said strawberries are expensive. Mommy canât buy them all
the time.â
âMommy works very hard!â
Damienâs gaze dimmed.
âDid your mommy or your brother tell you this?â
âMy brother!â
