Chapter 575 Stealing Food
âYouâve already eaten eighteen.â
This voiceâŠ
Serafina was startled and dropped the strawberry she was holding.
The crimson fruit fell on the plush pink carpet, and the young girl looked up towards the voice.
Soren stood at the doorway with crossed arms and looked at Serafina coldly with his dark eyes. âNo wonder you didnât want to eat dinner last night and refused strawberries from the supermarket when Mommy offered to buy them. It turns out youâve been sneaking food here.â
Serafinaâs eyes widened. She pouted, feeling unjustly accused by Sorenâs words. âIâm notâŠâ
âIâm not stealing food.â
âIsnât it considered stealing if you come into this house to eat when the owner isnât present?â
âIâm notâŠâ
Serafinaâs face flushed.
Even though she was only five years old, she understood that the word âstealâ had a negative meaning.
Therefore, she defended herself vehemently. âA handsome man invited me to eat the strawberries!â
âI didnât steal food!â
âThe handsome man said he doesnât like strawberries, but someone delivers them to him daily. I came to eat them because he has no other choice!â
âIâm doing him a favor!â
Soren scoffed. He shut the door and slowly approached Serafina with his arms crossed. He scrutinized the strawberries laid out before him. âEven the best strawberries Mommy can buy at the supermarket canât compare to these.â
âThe strawberries here must cost more than the fish we cat.â
âHow can someone casually offer you such expensive fruit?â
Serafinaâs eyes widened. âBut the handsome man saidâŠâ
âPerhaps these strawberries are poisoned.â
Soren intentionally frightened her. âDidnât Mommy warn you against accepting food from strangers?â
âMaybe you wonât recognize me or Mommy after eating these strawberries.â
Serafinaâs eyes widened. âReally?â
âYes⊠Iâve seen it in many cartoons.â
The little girlâs tears began to flow at once, âWhat should I doâŠâ

Soren scanned the room. âYou must tell me who the owner of this place is.â
âItâs me.â
As soon as Soren spoke, a deep masculine voice echoed from the direction of the bedroom.
The bedroom door swung open simultaneously, and a tall man emerged.
Sorenâs eyes widened.
Serafina instinctively retreated. âRen, itâs this handsome man.â
Soren stared at the man who had appeared before him and was momentarily speechless.
Is this man⊠my dad?
But didnât Mommy say that my dad pa*sed away long ago?
Then why does the man standing before me look like me?
We donât just look alike. Weâre identical.
Heâs like an adult version of myself.
Damien smiled faintly. He strolled leisurely to the sofa and settled down.
Perched at the other end of the sofa, Serafina instinctively recoiled due to Sorenâs words. She didnât dare to approach Damien.
âAre you shocked?â
The man looked at his five-year-old son indifferently. âWhoâs the winner now?â
Shock flickered through Sorenâs eyes.
âYouâre the one I doused with water that day?â
water that day?
Damienâs eyes narrowed slightly. âIâm the one who chatted with you on WhatsApp that day.â
âOh.â
Soren nodded. âYouâre worthless.â
After that, he walked over to Serafina in a dignified manner and extended his hand to his sister. âLetâs go home. Pay no attention to this strange person.â
Serafina nodded. She extended her tiny hand to grasp Sorenâs, and the two siblings hastily exited Damienâs residence./
