Chapter 902 He Was Himself Again

Chapter 902 He Was Himself Again

Although feeling regretful and a little sorry for him mother, but for some reason, he was relieved that his character was

changed.

Jared used to be under a lot of pressure, despite everyone's praise and his mother's pride.

No one knew that he didn't like the person he was.

Many a time he could feel his mother looking at someone else through him.

"Sure enough." Amber sighed at his words.

Jared had a vague feeling that something wasn't right. He lifted her chin and made her look at him, "Sure enough? Is there

something wrong with you suddenly bringing up my past character?"

His insight was still so acute.

Amber moves her red lips for a few moments, then bit thern and said, "Yeah. Actually... When I first saw Connor Stockert

today, I thought of you"

"What?" Jared frowned.

Amber took a breath and said, "When I look at Connor Stockert, it's like seeing the old you. The gentle, elegant young man

in white. You know what? You two give me the same feeling. You are too similar, it is not the appearance, it is the personality and temperament expressed. I mean, of course, the old you, and the present you are nothing like him. You used to be the spitting image of him, and it's fair to say that you two are the same. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

She looked at him and made her meaning clear.

His personality mirrored Connor Stockert's.

And even, frankly, his character was deliberately shaped towards Connor Stockert.

And that person was his mother.

She had just asked who had developed his character.

Now she was saying he used to have the same personality as Connor Stockert, and that was what she meant.

Jared was no fool to not understand what Amber was saying.

Because he did, his mind went blank and his body tensed again.

He clenched his fist, looked Amber in the eye, and asked in a husky, shaky voice, "What did you say? [ used to be like Connor Stockert?"

He had never actually met Connor Stockert, only seen pictures of him.

He had heard stories about Connor Stockert's personality and demeanor, but had never thought of himself like Connor

Stockert.

No one else would tell him.

So, he really had no idea that he and Connor Stockert were alike!

Amber nodded reluctantly at the man's apparent excitement, "Yes."

She knew it must be hard for him at this moment.

After all, he grew up the way his mother wanted him to. In order to realize his mother's wishes, he gave up the character he wanted and finally grew into the one his mother liked.

He did it to make his mother happy.

But t in the end, he was told that his mother had raised him like that not because she liked her gentle son, but because she wanted him to realize her longing for another man.

It was not easy for anyone to take that.

Not to mention a proud man like Jared.

Jared's head was slightly lowered and he didn't speak, making it hard to see his face.

But Amber could tell from the suppressed air all over his body that he was angry now.

She just didn't know who he was mad at.

Was he mad at Connor Stockert, or at her, or at his own mother?

After a few moments, Jared suddenly looked up and revealed red, bloodshot eyes. He looked at Amber, and there was an

unspeakable sense in his voice, "I need some moments alone to calm down"

Amber knew he was feeling a mixture of emotions. If he didn't calm down, something would happen.

With that, Amber nodded, "Okay, I'm gonna go to my room."

"No." Jared grabbed her hand and stopped her from getting up, "I'll just go to the study."

With that he released her hand, got up, and walked to the library.

Even then, even though he was in a mess, he did not let her back down, but chose to back down himself.

This man...

His back, always tall and straight, was a little bent. Seeing that, Amber's heart pricked with pain and her eyes were full of

concem.

A proud man who was born to be everybody else's destination, someone to look up to, someone too goad to be true, suddenly had his back bent. How could this not be a shock?

And the one who bent his back was his own mother, whom he had always respected.

Although his real mother had brought him into this world because she wanted to be free, he still loved and respected her.

But what he didn't realize was that his mother's love for him was also heartbreaking.

His mother wanted a son with a gentle personality, just because the man she loved had a gentle personality. She could not

see the person she loved, so she raised her son to be exactly like the person she loved, so that she could relieve her feelings of missing her lover through her son.

Was it really acceptable for a mother to treat her son as a stand-in for her lover?

Jared's back was crooked because he knew he was Connor Stockert's stand-in.

In this world, everyone was unique and should not be anyone's substitute.

But how could a proud man like Jared not take it personally when, unbeknown to him, he became someone else's stand-in? The biow would bend the stiffest spine.

Because the fatal blow to him, was from his mother, whom he loved and respected, not his enemy!

Sometimes, the most painful wound was not given by the enemy, but by the closest person.

Amber's eyes turned red, she pinched her palms and jerked off the couch, yelling after Jared, "Jared!"

Jared had reached the study door and had his hand on the door handle and was about to open it. When he heard Amber's voice, he paused again, but did not look back or respond.

Amber looked at him and said earnestly, "Jared, I never told you, and I always regret that you didn't go back to being the gentle Jared you used to be"

Jared froze, his eyes reddening even more.

What did she mean?

She wanted him to continue as Connor Stockert's substitute?

Just as Jared turned around and was about to ask, Amber spoke up again, "But I don't think so anymore. I'm glad you didn't go back to the old Jared, because now I know the old you were not the real you. The person you are now is a hypnotic re- creation of your personality, but it is your own creation, not someone else's. Maybe, this is the personality you should have, and the personality you want and like. So, I'm happy right now, and I'm happy for you, Jared. Congratulations, you're finally being yourselft"

When she didn't know the origin of his character, she was really sad that he didn't go back to his old self, because she

loved the gentle Jared the most.

Who wouldn't love a gentle young man in white?

But now that she knew how his tenderness had come about, she no longer felt it a pity.

In fact, she was suddenly grateful to Makenna for replaceing Mikel Schafer, hypnotizing Jared, and indirectly giving him his real personality.
