Chapter 573 Sour Strawberries
As Cherise thought about it, she glanced at Serafina in the rearview mirror, who was still wiping her tears. with her tiny hands miserably. âAlright, stop crying.â
âMake sure to eat well tonight!â
Serafina nodded furiously.
She wasnât really sick last nightâŠ
It was becauseâŠ
Since they still had plenty of time, Cherise decided to go straight to the supermarket to buy groceries.
âWhat would you like to have for dinner tonight, Serafina?â
The woman parked the car smoothly and asked gently as she grabbed her handbag and stepped out.
Serafina climbed out of the car with Sorenâs a*sistance. âIâll eat anything.â
Cherise chuckled. âRemember what you said. You must eat whatever I make tonight.â
âOtherwise, Iâll have to take you to the hospital again tomorrow!â
The little girl pouted but still agreed softly. âOkay. Iâll eat whatever you make, Mommy.â
Cherise noticed Serafinaâs slightly yellowish hair ends and led her two children to the fish and vegetable
section.
When they pa*sed the fruit section, Cherise remembered Serafinaâs poor appetite for the past few days. She held the little girlâs hand. âWould you like some strawberries?â
Upon hearing the word âstrawberries, Serafinaâs eyes widened instantly. âWhere?!â
Cherise pointed to the strawberries in the fruit section. After asking the staff for permission, she popped a strawberry into Serafinaâs mouth. âHow is it?â
The sour taste filled Serafinaâs taste buds.
Her small face instantly scrunched up. âItâs so sour.â
Then, the girl looked up at the strawberries in front of her with her dark eyes. âAnd theyâre not red enough.â
Compared to the strawberries from Damienâs house yesterday, these not only looked inferior, but they
also werenât as delicious.
Serafina shook her head. âMommy, letâs not get these.â
âI donât like these strawberries.â
Cherise was taken aback.
This was the first time her daughter had turned down strawberries in five years.

Hasnât she always enjoyed the strawberries here?
As Cherise thought about it, she picked up a strawberry and tasted it.
It was pretty sweet.
Hasnât Serafina always eaten the strawberries here?
Why had she suddenly developed a dislike for them?
The woman was perplexed.
But since her daughter didnât want the strawberries, she didnât buy them.
When they returned home in the evening, Cherise was surprised to discover that someone seemed to have moved into the house across from her that had been vacant for five years. There was even a pink rug
at the door.
The woman furrowed her brows slightly. Is the new neighbor a very feminine and ladylike woman?
I should find the time to get to know the new neighbor,
She opened the door and ushered the two children into the house as she thought about it.
As soon as Soren entered the house, he took out a puzzle from his bag and scattered it on the living room. carpet. âMommy, the teacher gave me this puzzle today as a reward!â
Cherise glanced at the puzzle on the floor.
She recognized it.
Soren had always been fond of such brain teasers. Zachary had once wanted to buy Soren a set while shopping with her, but Cherise had stopped him.
Because⊠it was too expensive.
This set of puzzles cost thousands.
Zachary had even teased her for being too stingy with her own children.
It wasnât that she was stingy. She just felt it was unnecessary.
Although she led a frugal life, she never treated Soren and Serafina poorly. She had always provided them with everything other children had.
She had never wanted her two children to feel inferior for lacking necessities.
But when it came to toysâŠ
She felt that all toys were the same, regardless of the price.
