Jordan was stunned after hearing the words “perfect lover”.
He gradually loosened his grip on Matt’s shirt.
Jordan froze right on the spot and whispered to himself, “Perfect… lover?”
He thought that Dr. Gale would tell Lauren to treat him as a crook who had committed a heinous crime, so Jordan didn’t expect that he would tell Lauren to treat him as the perfect lover!
Matt explained, “At that time, it was impossible to make Lauren completely forget that unpleasant incident.”
“The only solution was to change the way she perceived the incident, and especially the way she sees you!”
“If she no longer sees you as a crook and a stranger who committed a crime but as her boyfriend, her future husband, the love of her life, and the person who is closest to her, it would be easy for her to accept this incident.”
“So, I performed hypnotherapy on her everyday, and while hypnotizing her, I tapped into her consciousness so that she would completely change her opinion of you. I glorified you as the most perfect man in the world and the man she loves the most.”
“I also glorified that incident as a little joke and entertainment between lovers that you both enjoy.”
“Frankly speaking, this method is like the memory implant in Inception. I wasn’t confident about it at first, but to my surprise, the consciousness guidance proceeded smoothly!”
“It only took a week for her to accept that you are her perfect lover!”
Listening to Matt’s explanation, Jordan, too, couldn’t help but recall the scene when they first met.
“That explains why there was no resentment in her eyes when we first met in Café Nostalgia in New York and she even seemed a little excited.”
“That explains why she wasn’t repulsed and didn’t vehemently decline when I pretended to kiss her at the cafe the other day.”
“It turns out that all these years, she’s been treating me as her perfect lover and seeing me as her boyfriend!”
Only then did Jordan understand the truth of the matter. It wasn’t that Lauren was gracious enough to not hold it against him for that incident, much less that she held herself cheap or had special fetishes.
Rather, Lauren’s consciousness and perception of that incident had been altered!
After taking a drag on his cigarette, Matt looked at Jordan and said, “Once I guided her consciousness, you became her perfect lover, but she couldn’t see you again.”
“Not only should she not see you, she can’t hear any news about you, either.”
“Because in her heart, you are already a perfect object, while in reality, you may be a worthless good-for-nothing. Once there is a contrast, the consciousness guidance may crumble and fall apart!”
“However, Miss Lauren has been secretly observing you for the past two years, and even met you recently, but miraculously, the consciousness guidance is surprisingly still perfect. There isn’t a trace of damage, and has even become more solid!”
Matt couldn’t help but take another drag on his cigarette and said to Jordan, “Although I don’t want to admit it either, but you are indeed the most outstanding and perfect man I’ve ever seen in this world!”
Matt wasn’t willing to praise Jordan, but actually admired Jordan deep down.
What kind of man, exactly, could perfectly fit the characteristics of the fictional man who lived in Lauren’s fantasy?
Matt saw Jordan in the flesh today and understood something.
In fact, Jordan was outstanding in all aspects, be it appearance, family background, capabilities, character, taste, or style. Thus, he was indeed a figure that no woman could not be attracted to.
Jordan asked, “Dr. Gale, you just said that Lauren has an illness, but what do you mean? Why did she react so intensely when someone tried to take liberties with her? Why did the reaction last for such a long time?”
Matt sighed and explained, “As I said earlier, she has already decided that you are her only lover and partner, so it’s impossible for her to accept any other man.”
“If someone tries to forcefully possess her, she would react more strongly than the ordinary person, because it would remind her of that unpleasant incident four years ago, and I’m referring to the reality that she saw before the consciousness guidance.”
“Lauren has always known what really happened and that you’re not her boyfriend. She could control the balance between the two very well.”
“If someone were to forcefully possess her, that would upset the balance.”
Matt’s words were unclear and Jordan didn’t quite understand.
Thus, Matt said concisely, “Simply put, you’re the only man in the world whom Miss Lauren can sleep with. Other men can’t!”
Jordan was so shocked that he took a step back, flabbergasted by the truth!
Lauren was the esteemed top beauty of DC, who had countless suitors and countless men to choose from.
However, she could only choose Jordan!
“No wonder she didn’t go for a single blind date that her family arranged for her.”
Only then did Jordan understand Lauren’s reasons. It wasn’t that she was aloof and cold, or that she wasn’t willing to get over the incident and accept a new relationship.
It was because she couldn’t! Her situation did not allow her to accept another man!
Jordan seemed to be engraved in Lauren’s body, as a part of her would go missing once Jordan was gone!
That was an extremely huge blow to Lauren!
Jordan seemed to be engraved on Lauren’s body,
“Why didn’t that silly woman, Lauren, tell me about this!?!”
Jordan couldn’t bear to let Lauren suffer. Thinking about how Lauren had been silently loving him and treating him as the perfect lover in the past few years, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
In the past three years, he had been the Camdens’ live-in son-in-law. Had he known earlier, he would have gotten together with Lauren instead!
Jordan suddenly thought of Lauren and Chris’s marriage so he asked anxiously, “You said Lauren’s illness makes it impossible for her to have intimate relations with men except me, but she is now going to marry Chris…”
Matt was already so enraged that he threw his cigarette to the ground and said loudly, “Miss Howard cannot marry other men besides you! Especially not scions like Chris Hank!”
“Due to Miss Howard’s current situation, it is absolutely impossible for her to have a normal marriage with Chris. If Chris is from a family of a low status or her live-in husband, Miss Howard can solve the issue by sleeping in a separate room from him.”
“But he’s a Hank and he will never accept her request to sleep in separate rooms.”
Matt sighed and couldn’t help but smoke another cigarette. “In the past few years, Miss Howard has had no intention of getting married and has told me several times that she would end up alone in this life with her fantasies about you.”
“But, two days ago, she announced her marriage without warning! I really can’t figure it out!”
Jordan’s eyes were glassed over as he leaned helplessly against the wall and said, “She chose to get married because of me.”
