the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 797: Utterly Ridiculous
Ignatius Leclair no longer remembers why he developed a second personality. Whether it was caused by his parents’ broken marriage or the burdens of the family, these reasons no longer matter.
His mother had passed away long ago, and he personally sent his father to prison to sever that chain of causality. He shed the weight of being the perfect heir and became a carefree idler.
Even during the toughest moments, he would willingly let Magnus take over to make life easier for himself. Magnus, at that time, was like a brother to him—close and loyal, without betrayal. Except for the one time Magnus deceived him to fall asleep for two years just to pursue a romantic relationship.
That was Magnus’ first betrayal.
Wise as Ignatius Leclair was, he immediately attributed the issue to Delphine. Back then, Magnus chose to sleep in pursuit of Delphine. And now, ten years since Magnus had awakened, he committed such provocation again. Did Magnus truly believe there could still be a possibility between him and Delphine?
Laughable. Over all these years, the person by Delphine’s side had always been Ignatius Leclair.
James looked at the grim-faced Mr. Leclair in front of him, unable to move under his oppressing aura. The prominent Mr. Leclair refrained from saying much, only repeatedly inquiring about methods to suppress the second personality, which left James in a headache.
"If Mr. Leclair’s second personality has been triggered by Mrs. Leclair, then I’m afraid you’ll need to keep a distance from her during this period. Ideally, you should separate, avoiding intimacy to prevent stimulating the second personality, which could accelerate its appearance and prolong its presence," James advised. After seeing Ignatius’ intimidatingly dark expression, he immediately shut his mouth, thinking he might as well have kept quiet. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"If he never wakes again, am I destined to be separated from my wife for a lifetime?" Ignatius questioned coldly.
"There’s another solution: hypnosis. Communicate with the second personality," James proposed, though he doubted this esteemed man would seek his hypnotic services. A man of such power and station, privy to countless shocking secrets of the world, would only open up to someone he trusted completely.
Ignatius fell into silence. He murmured lowly, "Understood. It’s late. I’ll escort you out. Should the need arise, I may trouble Mr. James again in the future."
The man rose, his expression resolute and cold.
James quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Leclair, there’s no need for courtesy. However, you mustn’t go days without sleeping; it’s not worth harming your health. Perhaps find a trustworthy friend to stay by your side, closely observing the frequency and actions of the second personality—it will help analyze him. The best course of treatment is hypnotic therapy with a professional hypnotist."
Ignatius gave a slight nod, escorted James out, and only after seeing him drive away did he lock the door and head upstairs.
Nicholas and Benjamin had already fallen asleep, but Delphine was still awake. She lay on the bed reading a script. Upon seeing him enter, she lifted her delicate face, her jet-black almond-shaped eyes beaming with joy. Smiling warmly, she said, "I’ve found the perfect script. I’m planning to start the project in the coming days."
The tall and handsome man strode over, sat beside the bed, and gently pulled her soft body into his arms. Resting his chin on her head, he chuckled in his deep voice, "Congratulations, Mrs. Leclair. After so long, you’ve finally found the right script."
He tightened his hold on her, a flicker of fear surging inside him. For so long, he had been pretending to be Magnus. Now that Magnus had truly returned, would there still be room for him? Delphine—had she ever truly felt anything for him?
