My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2687

Tamsine explained, "Have you forgotten about me and the creation of mine? As long as you willingly infuse your power, this cultivation chamber can definitely withstand the power of one ritualistic weapon. But it can only handle one."

Upon hearing this, Fogort scoffed. "You see me as a tool, don't you? You're going to use me and throw me away afterward?"

He understood that this was entirely Tamsine's one-sided wish; it offered him no benefits.

Tamsine countered, "No, no, no, you're not a tool. I told you, we need your power. As long as you want it, we can give you anything, including the Heaven-Destroyer Magma."

Fogort felt disdain. He remained silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

If the outcome he envisioned truly came to pass, choosing to side with this woman would at least save his life. However, how many people would die in this war? He dared not imagine.

Thus, Fogort's attitude remained uncertain.

"It'll all depend on my mood." He intended to return to his room. His mind felt chaotic these past two days, and he wanted to sleep a little longer.

However, just before he left, he turned back once more. "Tamsine, consider this a warning. Your fate is weak, and you're not someone capable of achieving great things. If you insist on this path, you may not live much longer."

At that moment, Tamsine smiled strangely. "Are you worried about me?"

"Not at all. I'm just giving you a piece of advice."

"In that case, thank you. I already know my life is worthless."

Fogort chose not to argue further and turned to leave. Yet Tamsine suddenly called out from behind him, "Mr. Fogort, can I ask you for a favor?"

"But Mommy said that you are my daddy!" Sidney replied innocently.

Fogort ignored him, focusing on smoking.

"You must be my daddy! You must!" Sidney tugged at Fogort's pant leg, saying in a babyish voice. "Daddy, when you got home, Mommy was so happy. If Mommy is happy, I'm happy too, so you must be my daddy."

Fogort found himself at a loss for words against the innocent child.

He knew that this good-hearted boy was merely a creation of the Heaven-Destroyer Magma, not a true life. However, he did not want to hurt Sidney's feelings.

He could only continue to puff out smoke, choosing not to engage with the child.
