Chapter 1774 Chapter 1774
Charlize knew that Hugo had made a special trip here today, and he was already very tired all the way, and his left leg and knee had to be considered, so Hugo was completely exhausted at this time, and he was completely asleep, and he could even hear his even Breathing. Therefore, she didn't intend to wake Hugo up, but at least she wanted to let Cameron know that Hugo was fine.
So, Charlize picked up the phone, and Cameron's calling voice gradually became clear, "Hugo? Hey! Hugo!" Charlize explained calmly, "He fell asleep."
This immediately made Cameron flustered, and she couldn't even restrain her incoherent speech, "Then...then you...but...he said...then now..." Just now Hugo clearly said that he would open a new one. room, but why are you falling asleep now?
Charlize glanced at the back of Hugo's head, but her mentality calmed down. Thinking of everything that happened just now, and thinking of the days when they lived together in Sunset Square, a smile appeared on the corner of Charlize's mouth, "Don't worry, I and Hugo is just a friend. In a sense, he's just a woman to me and I'm just a man to him. You have to believe Hugo, he's not interested in men."
"You know that's not what I meant." Charlize's joke couldn't make Cameron laugh, she just felt that her head was full of mixed thoughts. In fact, before making the call, Cameron had been thinking wildly for hours, and even made up many versions of the story. She had already presupposed even the worst case scenario, and now Charlize's words should make her feel at ease. But she couldn't feel at ease at all, "I mean, you two... Hugo... If so..."
Cameron talked for a long time, but couldn't say a word, and then she heard Charlize say "That's it, good night", and then the phone was hung up. Cameron looked at the mobile phone with a busy tone in his hand, with a look of astonishment, and finally just whispered, "But...but..." After all, she couldn't say anything. She wanted to believe in Hugo, she should believe in Yu fruit, but...
Charlize hung up the phone, put the phone on the bedside, looked back at Hugo who was sleeping, couldn't help but shook her head with a smile. This reminded her of when she was in Sunset Plaza, she, Hugo, and Alex would often chat in the living room until midnight, and it was very likely that someone would fall asleep first, and the other two would kill that person. He threw it on the sofa and went back to his room to sleep. Several times, she herself woke up on the sofa in the middle of the night, and then went back to the room in a daze.
Hugo always sleeps like a child, and sometimes even drools onto the pillow. For this reason, she and Alex laughed at Hugo several times, and even once she and Alex painted on Hugo's face, and the next morning the house was full of excitement.
Now, Hugo's sleeping habits still haven't changed much. Looking at the little sparkling water stains at the corner of Hugo's mouth, Charlize wanted to laugh, so she had to bite her lips, and then stepped off the bed on tiptoe. He picked up a can of beer from the table, tiptoed to the window sill, looked at the endless vineyard outside the window, and drank the beer one after another.
At this time, Charlize also felt the attack of fatigue. In fact, she was also tired all day today. In the morning, she flew back to Los Angeles from New York. After dealing with the media, she went to the Endeavor Elite Agency, and then sneaked to Mr. Perfect's apartment... She had been running around all day, and now she just felt that the soreness in her muscles suddenly disappeared. It exploded.
It was only now that Charlize had time to sort out her thoughts. In fact, deep down in her heart, she knew that there had always been problems between her and Mr. Perfect, and she refused to take another step forward, while he always had an insecure sense of inferiority.
This reached its peak when she took over the screenplay of "The Devil's Advocate" and was followed by "Romeo and Juliet" with the success of "Romeo and Juliet" - not only did she get critical acclaim for her performance, but she also landed at the Berlin Film Festival . When all the conflicts reached their peak, she and he chose to avoid them, and then she went to New York to shoot "The Devil's Advocate"... It happened like this. Perhaps, Charlize had expected this day to come, and she and he would reach the end after all, but they didn't expect it to be in this way. He just left without saying goodbye.
Everything caught people off guard.
However, this is also good. Cut the mess with a sharp knife, cut everything in two, and clean it up thoroughly. After tonight, she can leave all the past in Napa Town and start a new day. It's just that she doesn't like this way of ending, because it seems that all the faults have been pushed on her. As Hugo said, she has to learn not to trouble herself.
Turning her head to look at Hugo who was sleeping peacefully, Charlize smiled slightly. At least she has such a good friend as Hugo. This is something she will never lose, and it cannot be taken away by others. It is enough to have a confidant for a lifetime, and people should not be too greedy.
Looking at the clock on the wall in the room, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Charlize realized that this was already a brand new day. This means that her yesterday has long since become the past, and those bad troubles have become the past, truly history. Thinking of this, the corner of Charlize's mouth could not help but outline a smile, and there was unprecedented relief in his eyes.
With her legs curled up, Charlize downed the beer in her hand again in one gulp, hiccupped comfortably, and smiled triumphantly, "Sure enough, I still like beer."
When Hugo woke up, he saw Charlize curled up on the window sill and fell asleep, leaning against the window, like a poor tramp on the street. Looking back, the double bed he was lying on was more than half empty. It was useless at all. There were only scattered beer bottles and cans piled up on it, which was really too wasteful.
The corner of Hugo's mouth could not help but draw a smile, then he picked up a beer bottle and threw it directly at the window. With a crisp sound of "Kang Dang", Charlize woke up immediately, "What? What?" Hugo couldn't bear the panic anymore, and burst out laughing.
Only then did Charlize understand what had happened, and cast a contemptuous glance at Hugo, "Are you six years old?" Then she picked up the remaining beer can on the window sill and threw it at Hugo. The beer wasn't finished—she'd forgotten about it, and it spilled all over her sleeve.
Hugo had laughed until his stomach hurt, and he almost fell off the edge of the bed.
Charlize gritted her teeth resentfully, "Sorry, my fault, you're only three years old!" Then she took the beer can and ran all the way into the bathroom. After closing the door, Hugo finally realized, "Hey! Charlize! I'm going to use the bathroom, so don't stay in there too long."
It was dull for a while, there was no sound, and then I heard Charlize laughing wildly inside, "Hahahaha." This was her answer to Hugo.
By the time the two of them got into the car, it was already past eleven o'clock, the sun overhead was extremely hot, and the endless vineyards spread out in sight, and the scenery was too beautiful to behold. Charlize saw Hugo walking towards the driver's seat, and then greeted Hugo and pulled Hugo back, "Give me the keys." They decided to drive Hugo, a retro car, because the paparazzi hadn't caught it yet. However, Charlize's car will stay here first, and then send someone over to drive back.
Hugo shrugged, "I'm fine, I drove here yesterday."
"I have something to do. I don't dare to sit in your car." Charlize rolled her eyes and snatched the car keys from Hugo. Charlize knew that Hugo was fine, but Hugo drove for too long yesterday, even if he had no psychological barriers now, things had to be done step by step, and it was more appropriate for her to drive today.
"Hey, ma'am, you know, the right to drive is his dignity for a man." Hugo argued unwillingly in the back.
"Not for you." Charlize didn't need to turn her head to know Hugo's depressed expression, she raised her voice and explained, "I drove to Pasadena, you put me down, and then you drove back by yourself Long Beach." Charlize stepped up to the driver's seat, "I don't want to be photographed by the paparazzi and then a bunch of people come up and ask me how Hugo was doing on a date. For God's sake, how would I know. "
Hugo was also amused by Charlize's vivid words, and without arguing about the driving right, he opened the passenger seat and got in. Charlize also got into the car, fastened her seat belt, and then complained, "We were photographed by the paparazzi like this, I can't imagine the excitement of the media."
Hugo looked at the white T-shirt with "Palm Tree" printed on Charlize's body—it was the same one in the motel wardrobe as him, in other words... couple clothes. Then he burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I'll pour a bottle of ketchup on the clothes later, it will look much better."
"Of course, if you want to stand on the side of the road and attract flies." Charlize started to reverse the car, and complained without looking back. Obviously, Charlize has regained her vitality, but yesterday's catastrophe completely vented all the negative emotions in her heart. Sometimes tears are the best medicine.
Driving all the way back from Napa Town, the beautiful scenery on both sides makes the vision never tired, even if you just look out of the window quietly, it makes the journey interesting. Pasadena seemed to arrive in a blink of an eye, and Charlize parked the car on a random ordinary residential block, looking like a passing tourist.
"Be careful on the way back, don't get caught by the paparazzi. I'll call you again if something happens." Charlize said simply and casually, causing Hugo to chuckle, and asked back, "Are you sure you don't need me to let Rick Come to pick you up?"
Charlize shrugged, "I'm an adult, an adult man, believe me, Pasadena is not Amazon." After speaking, Charlize opened the car door and left freely.
Hugo was sitting in the passenger seat, watching the back of Charlize leaving. She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, holding a black coat and a shoulder bag in her hand, and her long blond hair was casually tied into a ponytail Braided, who looked no different from any young college student, just strode forward and broke into a cloud of sunlight.
