Chapter 249 249

Uma knew that the explanation Hugo wanted was why she was reluctant to tell him about the Sugar Coated Trap and Tracy, why she had to hide it from Hugo over and over again, and why she was worried that he wouldn't believe it. She, and whether she was planning to use him, whether she still chose the opportunity after knowing the fact that Tracy suppressed Hugo...

Hugo put her absolute trust in Uma, but Uma lived up to that trust when she chose to stay at the Sidney party without telling Hugo Tracy Jacobs and Martin Baum When she tried to give her a gig; when she chose to leave Hugo in Malibu and slipped back to Los Angeles to audition by herself; when she chose the "sugar-coated trap" after vaguely speculating about Tracy's plans ; When she chose not to tell the truth in the face of Anthony's slander and accusation; when she chose to be unwilling to admit it when Hugo tried again and again... The result was already doomed.

What Hugo denounced was not her audition for "Sugar Coated Trap", things like "Sugar Coated Trap" will always exist in the entertainment industry, even if it's not Tracy this time, Uma may have to join other people who don't like rain in the future It is the inevitable result of the cooperation with the producer of Guo; it is her concealment and her exploitation that Hugo condemns, tempts, and grieves. Uma knew there was no need for an explanation, because her actions were the best explanation: she didn't trust him, she was taking advantage of him. Any hype explanation is futile.

A mocking smile appeared on Uma's face, and those crazy eyes met Hugo's eyes filled with pain, "So, is there any problem?"

Hugo looked at Uma in front of him, so familiar, that was how she appeared at his door that night; so unfamiliar, that was how she made her choice stubbornly and firmly on New Year's Eve. "Yes, one question," Hugo said with difficulty. "How much of the time we were dating was true?"

"Hehe." Uma was amused by Hugo's question, the taunting and contempt between her brows hit Hugo mercilessly, "You are so naive, oh god, you look like you just entered The chicks in this circle are the same." The irony in Uma's words made both Joseph and Charlize in the room excited and wanted to rush out, but Carl and Alex stopped the two respectively and let Uma's words Go on.

"When I was with you, I was serious, including bringing food to your house today, and I was serious. Can this comfort you? You are so stupid, things have already reached this point, and you still ask My question. Obviously when relationship and career conflict, I choose the latter, it's that simple. In Hollywood, no relationship is serious, even after marriage, career is part of marriage, love is never It will be everything. As long as it can, love can also be a stepping stone to a career!" Uma raised her thin eyebrows slightly, looking at the innocent Hugo in front of her, who has been in the entertainment industry for ten years but still maintains a pure heart Hugo, Uma suddenly felt pathetic for herself. She sees reality clearly, but she loses herself.

"Perhaps you haven't thought that there will be no conflict between love and career. I don't mind if you take on the 'Sugar Coated Trap'. As for what I care about, you are so smart, you should know better than me." Hugo smiled, but in his heart The pain is overwhelming. Uma was taken aback by what Hugo said. She knew what Hugo was talking about, it was trust, and she betrayed Hugo's trust, it was that simple.

"However, I am still comforted. At least I am not a complete fool. It seems that there is still help." Hugo chuckled, "Then now, please leave."

Uma looked at Hugo in front of him and looked at him seriously, as if he had just met for the first time today. Hugo's eyes had thick dark circles under his eyes, and those amber eyes flickered slightly, showing the fluctuations in his heart. Those turbulent emotions made Hugo look extraordinarily strong, but also extraordinarily fragile. Meiyu still has a faint smell of sunshine, which is her favorite smell.

Then Uma lowered her head and smiled, tucked her hair behind her ears, took a deep breath, turned around and left, strode forward without any hesitation, did not look back, just stopped at the door, and after a few seconds of silence , I only heard the crisp sound of the key being put into the glass bowl, and then the sound of opening and closing the door. Other than that, there is nothing.

When he heard Uma's footsteps stop at the door, Hugo raised his head and looked at the direction of the door quietly. He didn't know what he was expecting, expecting Uma to turn around and explain "I didn't use you" , or expect Uma to yell at him angrily, "What's wrong with my choice of career", or expect Uma to turn around and come back to him and say "Can we talk again"

But Hugo knew that he was looking forward, looking forward to the reappearance of Uma's figure, which was a stupid and sad expectation. Because he didn't wait for Uma to turn around, but heard the sound of the key falling into the glass bowl, Hugo suddenly remembered in his mind the situation when Uma asked him for the key to the house.

It was the last day of 1992. Before going to the party, Uma felt that she had to knock on the door every time she came, which was very inconvenient, so she might as well have a key for her. Hugo agreed without hesitation, because this was not about living together or opening up his private space, which was not too difficult for Hugo. He gave his key to Uma first, and then he would wait for him. To equip with a key.

Hugo frowned slightly, trying to remember Uma's expression when he got his key, but it was very blurry. He couldn't draw a clear image, but vaguely remembered the joy and happiness between Uma's eyebrows.

Hugo couldn't help but smile, powerless and helpless, he began to wonder if those beautiful scenes were fabricated by his own wishful thinking, and never existed at all. Before New Year's Eve, everything was fine and there were no problems, even the first half of the New Year's Eve party at Sidney's, things went very smoothly, awkwardly slow four steps, mistletoe kisses... Hugo originally thought that There will be someone holding his hand for a time into the New Year, but unfortunately, he is wrong.

Uma didn't even want to explain, so she chose to let go so coolly, retaining the decency when she left, but it put Hugo into an even more sad situation: he was still looking forward to Uma's defense, looking forward to Uma was able to refute his idea. Is he too naive? Why is Uma unwilling to even fight for this relationship once, even if she accuses Hugo of being selfish and unwilling to think about her, if she explains, she gets angry, she argues, she fights, At least it shows that she is willing to do something for this relationship, but no, Uma didn't do anything, so she turned and left without any reluctance.

Is it because this relationship is simply not worth fighting for Uma? Or is it because he is too stupid and naive to see the reality clearly? Or is it because the relationship was only exploited from the start?

Standing in the same place, Hugo felt that he was so ridiculous, so ridiculous that he felt a little ridiculous, what was he expecting? Or is his trust just too cheap? So Hugo smiled, laughing at his own stupidity and naivety. It's been ten years since I left the society, and I still hold such an unrealistic dream, which is really speechless.

Joseph and Carl stood at the door, watching Hugo leaning against the dining table like this, and laughed. The smile gradually bloomed, and then spread uncontrollably, but there was no sound at all. This bleak and ironic smile made Hugo seem normal, but it was so disturbing at this moment.

"Hugo." Joseph shouted, Hugo turned his head, still wearing that ironic smile, "What's the matter with you?"

Charlize and Alex in the distance also came out, frowning and looking at Hugo who looked like a magic barrier in front of him, "What are you laughing at?" Charlize said, she didn't like this kind of rain She was not used to making Hugo look so embarrassed with a pathetic smile.

"Laugh... laugh at myself." Hugo laughed as if he was out of breath, speaking intermittently.

"Hugo-Lancaster! You're crazy!" Charlize yelled angrily, which made all three of Joseph startled, looking at Charlize and Hugo worriedly, they didn't dare to give Hugo was more exciting, lest it would intensify Hugo's negative emotions, but he didn't expect that Charlize had no scruples at all, which really scared them all.

Hugo didn't speak, just kept nodding, still smiling. "Stop for me! Do you know how pathetic you look like this? Isn't it just a woman, if you really like it, just go up and chase it back, just stand here and pretend to be pitiful, what kind of man is he!" Charlize angrily Speaking of, the crackling is a large paragraph of words and smashed at Hugo.

This made the smile on Hugo's face gradually freeze, and the expressions of the three of Joseph seemed to be choked, and even stopped breathing.

Hugo's smile faded little by little, and in the end there was a pale and weak arc on the corner of his mouth, "I was laughing, I thought I was sensible and gave her a chance to explain. But she didn't even want to explain. , Hehe, my so-called reason is really worthless. Maybe, in her eyes, this relationship is not worth arguing and explaining. Then, if I catch up, it will only be more pitiful, so I plan to pretend I'll show you some pity, at least so that you don't worry too much."

This sentence made Charlize's whole body's anger subsided like this, and looked at Hugo in front of him with distress. Any relationship is irrational, but Hugo and Uma both face the problem this time rationally. This rationality is like a sharp dagger, showing the bloody relationship between the two people. , nothing was left, and Hugo's trust and Hugo's expectations became more and more ridiculous.

Love without quarrel is not love, because there is no need for quarrel. This was Uma's most fatal blow to Hugo.

"Hugo..." Charlize didn't know what to say, but looked at Hugo who lost his smile in front of him. Although he tried to keep his composure, the despair between his eyebrows quietly permeated.

"I'm fine, fine." Hugo murmured in a low voice, then walked towards his room, "I just need a little time to be quiet, think about it, think about it."

Charlize and the others watched Hugo walk back to the room step by step. The thin figure disappeared at the door of the room, leaving only a slight closing sound, which echoed slightly in the morning sunlight.
