Chapter 217 217

Hugo wanted to convince himself that it was just a coincidence that Tracy appeared next to Uma. After all, this was a party, everyone had the possibility to meet, and Uma was not alone with Tracy, except for Nicole. - In addition to Kidman, there is Michelle Pfeiffer, a top actress, and two other faces who are familiar but cannot name the actors. A group of people stood together and talked happily without any abnormality. .

But all this is very difficult, because first Martin and then Tracy, Hugo was just removed from the "sugar-coated trap" waiting list not long ago, and Tracy's eyes were full of meaning just now. Hugo had a hard time controlling his thoughts and not thinking wildly.

Hugo took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed his mixed thoughts, and walked towards the direction where Uma and the others gathered.

It wasn't Uma or Tracy who saw Hugo first, but Nicole. She gave Hugo a decent smile, and then waved her hand gently, which made several other people turn their heads subconsciously. When they came over, they also wanted to know who Nicole was greeting. Now, everyone saw Hugo coming.

Uma's expression stiffened for a moment, but she didn't dare to look at Hugo, avoiding her eyes, struggling a little; but Tracy did not have any abnormality, as if she was meeting Hugo for the first time, Like several other actresses, she nodded slightly to Hugo, and that was all.

Hugo quickly walked to Uma's side. At this time, Uma had returned to normal. With a big smile on her face and calm eyes in her eyes, she naturally stood on Hugo's left. Hugo bowed slightly politely, "Good evening, ladies." Then he said with a smile, "It seems that I have chosen the wrong moment to show up. How should this be, I hope you don't blame me for my recklessness."

"If no men come to say hello, this will make us sad." Nicole replied with a smile, although she and Hugo met for the first time tonight, but the first impression of each other was very good, so she also expressed his kindness. "What's more, if a gentleman like Hugo can take the initiative to say hello, many ladies on the scene must be jealous."

Nicole's words made a group of women laugh in a low voice. Tracy, who was standing in the middle of the female companions, did not take the initiative to speak, nor did she make any special expressions, just like the others.

Uma took over the conversation at this time, and did not let Hugo continue to speak, "Sorry, I may need to be absent for a while, I hope you don't mind."

"Don't worry, you have a lot of time, we don't mind at all." Michelle Pfeiffer, who was standing on Nicole's left hand, said playfully, she seemed to be more familiar with Uma, and she was still talking. He blinked at Uma, as if implying something, which made several other people laugh in a low voice, causing Uma to blushed.

"Then let's say goodbye first. Hope you have a good night." Hugo said goodbye politely again, then turned to Uma and walked towards the gate, Hugo whispered to Uma, "Joe I'm already waiting in the car, hurry up, we'll get to Santa Monica before eleven o'clock as much as possible." At this time, soft accompaniment music was playing in the hall, which was convenient for everyone to chat, so the words could be heard very clearly.

Uma pulled Hugo, deviated from the original direction, and walked towards the entrance of the stairs, "What's wrong? What else is going on?" Hugo didn't quite understand, "We've already lost some time..."

"Hugo, you and Joseph go to find Alexander yourself, I want to stay here." Uma looked into Hugo's eyes and said firmly that the struggle just now had turned into a determination, just like Uma Personality, bold, resolute and decisive.

Hugo looked at Uma, dumbfounded, he didn't know what happened, "If you are worried about Nicole and the others, I can go over and explain to them."

"No, not them. It's just that I want to stay here." Uma explained, "Hugo, if you want to go to a friend's party, just go there, I choose to stay." There are countless opportunities here, and Uma doesn't want to give up , what's more, her conversation with Nicole and the others just now is getting better, and Michelle Pfeiffer, this goddess-level actor is not something you can meet casually. After many hesitations, Uma finally made such a decision.

"But..." Hugo was a little angry, but was interrupted by Uma, "I know you and Alexander agreed, but I'm not familiar with him, and I didn't promise to go to his party. We Why can't we act separately?" Uma didn't call "Alex", but used the relatively formal and distant "Alexander", this slight change can tell the firmness in her tone. .

Uma's words sounded reasonable at first, but after thinking about it, it was not the case, which made Hugo angry. Originally Uma had agreed to go to Alex's party with Hugo, Sidney's party was just an accident, but now Uma has changed her mind again, and more importantly, "But didn't you agree just now? Say goodbye to Nicole and the others, and then leave?"

"I've changed my mind now." Uma still insisted on her own ideas, she was still trying to convince Hugo, "Look, I'm very good here, and I have met a lot of friends, I am very happy to participate in such a party."

"But today is New Year's Eve! Our first New Year's Eve! Do you want us to be alone when the countdown is over?" Hugo still couldn't understand, he was dancing and kissing with Uma just now, everything tonight It all seemed fine, and it was the only thing that comforted Hugo in the "sugar-coated trap" mess, but why is it like this now?

"Hugo, we can be together every day, a countdown doesn't have any meaning." Uma still has no idea of ​​changing. Since she has decided, she will stick to it. It's been vividly shown, "I said, I'm happy here, so I'm not worried. Of course, if you're going to stay, that's all the better."

"Impossible." Hugo's anger also rose up, he was depressed enough tonight, and now he is still entangled in such a thing, "As I said, Alex is our friend, And we promised him first!"

Uma shook her head, "I don't want to tell you, our ideas are fundamentally different, you can't accept my ideas, and I also don't agree with your decision. Then why can't you do as I say? I It's good to be here, you just let me stay here, isn't that everyone's happiness? I don't have to go to the past!"

"But you're my girl!" Hugo said angrily, but after he finished speaking, he still didn't see any shake on Uma's face, which made Hugo frown, the amber-colored The color of his eyes gradually deepened, and he suddenly realized something. Joseph's words just rushed into his brain, and Hugo blurted out, "Could it be that Martin or Tracy said something to you just now?"

Hugo didn't want to be suspicious, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

Hearing this, Uma paused and seemed a little flustered, but immediately stared at Hugo's angry eyes, "Don't change the subject, I want to stay, you know, this and the It doesn't matter to anyone. Don't use your dirty mind to doubt me!" Uma knows about the "sugar-coated trap" pretty well, and about Tracy it's just some rumors, but it's already Enough, Uma knew why Hugo had such doubts, so she retorted.

Hugo didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Uma's, although Uma's mouth was trembling slightly, but she still looked back without any fear. About three seconds later, Hugo let out a long breath, "Sorry, I'm too sensitive." After apologizing, Hugo's eyes softened a little, but he asked again, "Uma, are you sure? Don't want to go to Alex's party with me? Today is the last day of 1992..."

"I don't want to." Uma's answer was firm and firm, and there was no room for manoeuvre.

Hugo closed his eyes angrily, took a deep breath, he wanted to understand Uma's decision, but no, at least not at the moment; he wanted to kiss Uma's cheek, but no, at least in his current emotional state No down. So, in the end, Hugo just gave Uma a light hug and whispered, "Happy New Year." Then he turned and left.

Hugo's footsteps became extraordinarily bold and compact because of his anger. He disappeared at the gate with just a few big strides. The tense muscles could be clearly seen from his back, showing his bad mood. Uma adjusted her breathing, then turned around and walked in the direction of Nicole, Michelle, Tracy and others.

Joseph saw Hugo walking over alone, then sat in the passenger seat, looked around, there was no Uma figure at all, but before he asked the question, Leonardo asked the question on his behalf, " Only you? Where's Wonder Woman?"

Hugo buckled his seat belt and let out a long sigh, "Wonder Woman went to save the world." Then he said to Joseph, "Come on, Alex is still waiting for us."

Although Hugo didn't say anything, Joseph felt a strong sense of unease. The scene of Uma and Martin talking just now replayed in his mind inexplicably, but Joseph knew that this was not a good time to talk deeply, so he also I suppressed the idea and started the car.

Leonardo and Toby sat in the back seat and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Leonardo saw Hugo's mood was a little down, so he opened the car window, and the wolf howled, "Oh, we're going to a real party! Party! Party!"

Hugo couldn't help laughing when he heard Leonardo's excited voice. He also opened the window and said to Leonardo behind him, "What you call a real party is a party with alcohol!"

"Of course! Of course!" Leonardo's shouts and laughter scattered all the way in the night. The raging gust of wind in the middle of the night poured through the window, calming Hugo's mind full of countless thoughts. All worries and worries were shattered in the storm, and then scattered on Santa Monica Boulevard.
