NovelEnglishChapter 576 It’s My Duty
“Ren.”
Serafina tried to explain herself as she closed the door to Damien’s house. “I know I’m not supposed to
talk to strangers.”
“But you saw him, Ren.”
“That man really resembles you.”
“I don’t think he’s a bad person.”
Soren furrowed his brows slightly. “But he’s not a good person either.”
As it turned out, this man had recently moved into the house across from them.
Does he expect me to call him Dad?
No way!
When Soren brought Serafina home, Cherise had already prepared dinner. She was seated at the
dining table, glaring at them indignantly.
“Why didn’t you tell me you went out to play?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“And Soren, don’t think I don’t know that Uncle Zach gave you a phone.”
“If you didn’t inform me, at least take your phone with you.”
“I was on the verge of contacting the police if you hadn’t returned!”
Soren held Serafina’s hand and shielded her behind him. “I’m sorry, Mommy.”
“I was frustrated because I couldn’t solve the puzzle, so litook Sera out for some fresh air.”
“It’s my mistake for not informing you, Mommy. I promise it won’t happen again.”
The boy spoke with his head down. “I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, Mommy.”
Cherise sternly gazed at the two children standing before her. She couldn’t scold them any further.
The woman sighed. “Alright, go wash your hands. It’s time for dinner!”
After that, she glanced at Serafina. “You must finish your meal tonight.”
“Otherwise, I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow!”
Serafina nodded and hurried towards the washroom.
“Thank you, Ren.”
Serafina whispered her gratitude as the two children huddled by the sink.
Soren flattened his lips and said casually are you thanking me? It’s my duty.”

“But Serafina, in the future, keep your distance from the man in the house across from us. He’s not a
good person.”
“Mm! I understand!”
Although Serafina didn’t eat much for dinner, it was a significant improvement from the previous day.
After Cherise had dinner with the two children, she helped them complete the puzzle before taking
Serafina for her bath.
Once Serafina was done, it was Soren’s turn.
Cherise tucked Serafina into bed as usual. Then, she got up and headed to the laundry room.
When she remembered that Soren and Serafina had gone out to play, the woman decided to wash the
children’s clothes.
To her surprise, there was no dust on Serafina’s clothes. Instead, there was a red stain.
The red stain was on the front of Serafina’s clothes. Cherise sniffed it, and it smelled like strawberries.
The woman furrowed her brows in confusion. Strawberries?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf I remember correctly, Serafina was wearing a different outfit when she ate strawberries at the
supermarket today…
Why would there be a strawberry stain on the clothes she wore at home?
As the woman pondered, her hand brushed against the little girl’s pocket. There was a hard, square
object
inside.
Cherise took it out. Is this an access card? And it’s… for the house across from us?
The woman’s brows furrowed tightly.
Why would Serafina have an access card for the house across from us in her pocket?
“Mommy.”
Lost in her thoughts, Cherise saw Soren standing at the laundry room doorway, wrapped in a towel,
looking at her. “Mommy, can you tell me about my dad?”
Cherise was slightly surprised. “Why this sudden interest?”
“I’m curious.”
Soren smiled at the woman. “Our teacher asked us to share interesting stories about our dads today.”
