Chapter 126 126 Calling Father

Hugo looked at the small piece of paper he had stuffed into the "Dead Poets Society" script, and at the string of phone numbers on it, but there was no response in his mind, unless it was marked "Adam Lancaster ( Adam. Lancaster)", Hugo would have thought it was some lottery number. It can be seen that the phone number of his predecessor is also so unfamiliar, and it is estimated that he has not called a few times since he got the number.

Today is Tuesday, and the day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving. If Hugo doesn't call again, he will probably miss it. In fact, Hugo was avoiding this incident subconsciously, procrastinating until now. If Joseph hadn’t mentioned it, he probably wouldn’t “think about it” until Thanksgiving.

Before the time traveled, the relationship between Hugo and his father had not improved. Although Hugo and his mother had been on the phone many times, they had never been able to have a real conversation with his father. Hugo knew that he should call the parents of his body, because he is now Hugo-Lancaster, and Chen Hugo's regret should not extend to Lancaster. But for Hugo, he seemed to have forgotten how to communicate with his father, so he hesitated and timid.

Taking a few deep breaths in a row, Hugo knew that there was no way to escape. Unless he wanted to ignore Thanksgiving this time, this call was imperative. Besides, it had been ten months before and after Hugo had crossed over, and he had never contacted his parents, which was too unreasonable. Therefore, Hugo finally picked up the receiver of the landline and dialed the number as soon as he gritted his teeth.

The phone rang only a couple of times before being picked up. The speed was so fast that Hugo was taken aback, and a rough and low voice came from the other end of the phone. Trembling, "Adam Lancaster, speak." This airy voice at least proves that his father's body is very strong.

"Hey, Dad." Hugo hesitated and shouted. Although it felt a little strange to call a "stranger" Dad, but after calling it out, it miraculously didn't make Hugo feel repulsive, but could feel the blood that resonance. Hugo didn't know whether it was because the other party was very similar to his father, or because his body felt the ties of blood.

"Hugo?" Adam's voice was full of doubts on the other end, "Today is neither Thanksgiving nor Christmas." It seemed that Hugo would be very surprised to call at this time.

"Yes, it will be Thanksgiving in two days." Hugo was a little embarrassed by his father's questioning. Why did he feel that Adam did not welcome his call.

"Yes, I know. That's the reason for my doubts, isn't it two days left?" Adam said in a stern voice, even with a hint of impatience, "So, call today, what's the matter?" Adam still said Without any hesitation, ask directly.

"Oh, no..." Hugo thought it was very difficult to make this phone call, but the result was so much resistance that Hugo felt even more unable to move, "I, I just want to ask about your plans for Thanksgiving. ."

"I'm not having dinner with you anyway." Adam's words made Hugo stunned, and he didn't know what to do in response, "Or do you need money? How long has it been since you got a job? For God's sake, If you need the money, just be direct, don't beat around the bush, be a goddamn sissy."

"Dad!" Hugo was irritated by Adam's rude tone. He just wanted to communicate with his father, but his father distorted his meaning. To be precise, his father didn't even give him a chance to explain. This reminded Hugo of his father before he crossed over, and so did he. "I'm not asking you for money, I have a job..."

"You mean actors? Hmph." Adam's voice was full of disdain, and he even twitched the corners of his mouth in contempt. Hugo probably knew that this was the reason why they never contacted, because Adam did not support Hugo as an actor, or even rejected him, and their father-son relationship was basically frozen. This, Hugo has experienced, and is experiencing again now.

"Yes, actor." Hugo's voice rose involuntarily, not only because he was provoked by his father, but also because of his disdainful tone, "I want to tell you that my current actor work is progressing very smoothly..."

"That's good, it's your business. If it's all right, I'll hang up." Adam didn't wait for Hugo to continue speaking, but he hung up with a bang.

Hugo was stunned when he looked at the phone receiver that kept saying busy tone. This was definitely something he didn't expect, but a stubborn temper suddenly surged up. He looked at the phone number on the desktop and dialed again. past.

When the phone was picked up, Hugo didn't wait for his father to speak, and said in a hurry, "I'm calling you to ask if you'd like to come to Los Angeles to spend Thanksgiving with me. You know we haven't seen each other for a long time. If If you don't want to, then tell me, there is no need to condemn my work."

"I also want to tell you that now I not only have a job, but also do a very good job. My movie 'Scent of a Woman' was just released not long ago, and another 'Yihai Xiongfeng' will be released next month. , while I'm still auditioning for other jobs. I'm good, I'm really good. I'm not short of money, on the contrary, I'm doing really well at work now, and I've got a lot of people complimenting me. So , if you can show respect for my work, I would be grateful."

Hugo said a lot in a crackle, and after he finished speaking in one breath, he stopped gasping for breath.

"Have you finished?" Adam's voice was still lukewarm, and he snorted again after speaking, as if he didn't care about Hugo's a lot of words just now, "So, what do you want, I hope I praise you for doing How are you? You're an adult now, not Taylor's dog. You don't need this kind of compliment, and I won't give it. I told you, I don't care about your job, and if you don't have money, I am Your father, at least I won't let you starve to death, but other than that, don't try to convince me." After speaking, Adam's voice also became hard, like a sharp dagger, merciless The ground galloped towards Hugo's shoulders, and then pinched precisely to the side of Hugo's face.

"As for Thanksgiving, I don't have time." Adam breathed a sigh of relief and said simply, "It's okay to meet or something, it's not that I don't know what you look like, and there's no need to meet."

Hugo was directly blocked by his father's words, and he couldn't take it all in one breath. "What does it mean to have no need to meet, you are my father, I am your son, I want to see you, isn't this normal?"

"But do you want to?" Adam asked back, leaving Hugo speechless: "Yes" stuck in his throat but couldn't say it, and he missed the first time, Adam didn't give Hugo has more opportunities to respond, "Is there anything else? If there is nothing..."

Realizing that his father was about to hang up, Hugo quickly interrupted him, "Where's the mother? Do you have any news about her?" Hugo carefully checked the inside and outside of the "Dead Poets Society" script, and there was nothing No news about my mother, phone, address, photo, nothing. If Hugo hadn't been sure that his body's mother, Lena, had not had any accidents, he would have even suspected that Lena had died.

Hugo's words instantly silenced Adam, and then suddenly became irritable, gritted his teeth angrily, "I said, don't mention her in front of me, you'd better keep this in mind." The tone made Hugo's brows wrinkle, and Hugo wanted to say something else, "But..."

But the voice just came out, and it was violently suppressed by Adam, "There is a customer in the store, hang up." After a pause for about half a second, Adam said in a rough voice, "Also, since You already called today, so don't call back on Thanksgiving." After speaking, he simply hung up the phone.

Hugo looked at the receiver in his hand, not knowing what to do, but just stood there.

It seems that the relationship between Hugo and his parents is worse than imagined. No matter what happened between Adam and Lena, at least Lena has not contacted Hugo actively, and Hugo has not found any contact between his predecessor and his mother. This shows that Hugo's relationship with his father and mother is not good. It can even be said that Hugo and his father are even more closely related.

In this way, Hugo has not been in contact with his parents for nearly a year and there is no abnormality, and he has been explained.

Hugo couldn't help rubbing his ears. Adam's angry roar made Hugo feel that his ears were ringing, which was really bad. Originally, I thought that I should take the initiative to contact my family on Thanksgiving. Hugo was still worried about how to deal with the family. The soul that had passed through could deceive the friends around him, but it was not so easy to deceive the family. As a result, Hugo’s Worrying is all futile. Now it seems that even if Hugo took the initiative to go back to communicate with his father, it is estimated that he would break up unhappily, and he would be lucky not to be swept out of the house.

Should this be considered good news? At least there is no need to deal with family relations, anyway, Hugo has no real feelings for Adam and Lena as parents. But why does Hugo always feel empty inside? Is it because of the relationship with his predecessor, or because of the regret of his family before he passed through.

Although the development of his career has now seen the light of day, there are still many problems surrounding Hugo, and none of them can be easily solved. Come to think of it now, poison. Addiction is the most serious problem, but the simplest one, relying on Hugo's own willpower to get through the difficulty, the hardship, pain, and torture that he experienced during the withdrawal reaction at that time, it seems that it is not so difficult when I think about it now.
