My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2206

When Ember suddenly appeared in Clint's subconscious, both Cliffton and Clint were taken aback.

"Em, why?" Cliffton asked, clearly confused.

"I came to find you," Ember replied calmly.

"Find me... but..." Cliffton glanced at Clint and then at the approaching pillar of light. He shook his head resolutely. "No... You shouldn't stay here... I'm about to leave..." he said with firm determination.

"Then... why don't we leave together?" Ember suggested suddenly.

Cliffton immediately refused. "Of course not!" he exclaimed, flustered. "You... You can't die..."

"Without you by my side, life and death feel the same," Ember said softly.

Cliffton stood frozen, unable to believe that the king demon would be willing to go to such lengths for him.

"Why..." he murmured.

"Have you turned foolish in your reincarnation? It's because I love you," Ember said with a gentle smile.

She understood how difficult it had been for Cliffton to reincarnate, and she could not let his efforts go unreciprocated. The moment she saw Clint at the summit, she knew it was him. She understood his sacrifices, and now, it was her turn to respond. It was not too late to rekindle the love they had failed to fulfill in their previous lives.

"But... But this..." Cliffton, who had been ready to let go, found himself unable to remain calm after hearing those words. At this moment, there was no one to stop him from being with the one he loved.

"Uh... I don't mean to ruin the moment here," Clint suddenly interjected, feeling awkward as he witnessed their emotional exchange.

"If you two don't want to die, maybe we should figure out how to get out of here first?" Clint suggested, noticing the light pillar now dangerously close.
