My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2683

Fogort sighed and then sat down on a couch that was farther away from Tamsine.

"Alright, you certainly know how to play games."

Upon hearing this, Tamsine displayed an expression of innocence that seemed out of character for her. "What do you mean by that?"

Fogort glanced at the villa's front door. "Those guys haven't left, have they? I'm not foolish. I can still sense that you're controlling them. You don't want to take action yourself, so instead, you let that big oaf take the lead to create a spectacle."

Tamsine clapped her hands. "Mr. Fogort, your deductive skills are remarkable. Unfortunately, I'm not as mystical as you think. I've never interfered with their actions."

Fogort remained silent. To be frank, he still did not trust the woman in front of him.

Tamsine continued, "I understand your hostility toward me, but you don't need to assume the worst. My true energy can indeed influence them, but it doesn't extend to control. What I can do is simply calm them using the characteristics of my true energy.

"This isn't the ability of the Heaven-Destroyer Magma; it's a trait of my true energy that I've had since birth.

"Mr. Fogort, I have no reason to hide anything from you. As I said, I'm sincere."

Just then, a small child heard the commotion and walked toward the hall.

"Mommy, you're back?"

Tamsine immediately picked up the little boy.

"Mommy, look at the puppet I made!"

A warm smile appeared on Tamsine's face.

Fogort remained silent, not uttering a word.

Tamsine praised, "Sidney, you're amazing! By the way, you must be polite, okay?"

Only then did the little boy turn to look at Fogort.

"Hello, sir!"

"Oh, I see." A hint of disappointment crossed Sidney's face.

"Can I ask Daddy to hug me tomorrow, then?"

"Of course, darling. Now, go to sleep."

Sidney's eyes sparkled again, his rosy cheeks radiating innocence.

After handing Sidney to a butler, Tamsine returned to the couch.

"What's going on with that child?" Fogort, who had remained silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Tamsine replied proudly, "He's my child!"

"A child? Or a tool?"
