Chapter 389 389

It was quiet in the convenience store. Hugo had time to look at the space at this time. There was not much change from the impression in his mind. The shelves and furnishings were exactly the same. It was just that the set of children's saddles on the counter disappeared in his memory. Now--of course, even if he had the saddle now, he wouldn't be able to use it.

The light in the store is not bright, as if there are countless dust floating in the air, and the dryness makes the skin tight for a while, as if it will peel at any time, which is a bit depressing. Hugo doesn't know if it's because he has grown up, so he always feels that the space has shrunk and the air has become thinner.

"So why did you come back all of a sudden?" Adam finally couldn't stand the silence any longer, so he spoke to break the suffocating silence in the air.

"I thought this was my home." Hugo turned his head to look at Adam, and looked into his father's eyes seriously, perhaps inspired by the conversation just now, perhaps because of the direct face-to-face conversation, Hugo's previous worries and irritability are now All disappeared at the moment, he looked at his father frankly and directly, and said firmly.

"Didn't you already choose Hollywood?" Adam retorted without any pause at all.

"So are you planning to continue arguing with me about my career?" Hugo looked at Adam's cloudy eyes, and did not raise his voice to argue impatiently as before, but kept his words calm and relaxed. Do not speak slowly.

"You know I don't like actors, and I don't support you to become an actor!" Adam faced Hugo's eyes, his heart suddenly burst into irritability, and growled in a rough voice, "That's why you ran away from home, isn't it? ? You haven't come back for ten years, so don't tell me this is your home, it's just ridiculous!"

The irritability in Hugo's heart continued to rise uncontrollably. Adam seemed to have the ability to turn the conversation between the two into a war, but Hugo still forced himself to swallow all the malicious words he said. "What's with the poster at the door?"

Hugo didn't know why the two of them got along in this way, and Adam obviously cared about himself. Even if he didn't know how to express it, there was no need to deepen the contradiction between the two people in such a bad way.

Before setting off, Hugo had countless worries and guesses. The ten-year interval was too big, so Hugo didn't know how to deal with it, especially Adam was opposed to becoming an actor. There was indeed too much unpleasantness in getting along with each other; but the few words I had just learned made Hugo realize that their father and son might not be that close, but they definitely shouldn't be as conflicted as they are now. So, now that he's back, now that he's standing here, Hugo wants to find out the truth.

Hearing Hugo's direct words, Adam's eyes were slightly flustered, and then he used more anger to cover up his panic, "Advertising, it's just an advertisement, it doesn't have any meaning, if you want to use that thing as an excuse, I Now go and tear that damn thing off!"

"You know it's not like this, and I know it too." Hugo looked at his father's anger, puzzled, then omitted all the process and twists and turns, and said directly, "The conversation between you and old Jack just now, I I heard it all!"

Adam was stunned by Hugo's straightforward words, his face hidden behind the messy beard and hair lost its protective color in an instant, and he could only reluctantly say, "It's just because I don't want to admit defeat in front of that old guy. That's it!"

"I also chatted with little Jack for a long time." Hugo's sentence broke all Adam's defenses, but Adam was not a man who would disarm so easily. He still tried to reorganize the language and wanted to refute again, but Hugo didn't intend to give him another chance like this, "Dad, things are clearly not like this, why do you keep doing this, why do you make things more complicated, why do you keep rejecting my kindness, do you really Don't you want to recognize my son?"

In the face of Hugo's pressing step by step, Adam's eyes narrowed and he said directly, "Then why did you choose to run away from home, and now you are trying to make up for this relationship?"

In fact, Adam also felt the abnormality of Hugo in the past year. Hugo originally ran away from home on his own initiative. If it were not for financial difficulties or discussing Lena's problems, Hugo would not contact Adam at all, even before There have been several requests for help, and the communication between the two is also very unpleasant. But since Thanksgiving last year, Hugo's attitude has changed faintly. Adam can feel Hugo's initiative, but at the same time he can't help guessing whether Hugo has noticed the secret he has been hiding, which makes Adam very uneasy , In addition to diverting Hugo's attention in a violent way, Adam didn't know what to do.

Adam is the kind of traditional western man who is very forthright and generous when dealing with friends, but when faced with the need to express his feelings, whether it is love or family, he is very clumsy. Get used to keeping all your thoughts deep in your heart and express them in your own way.

Hugo's heart was instantly lifted by Adam's words, but he quickly reacted. Adam didn't notice the transformation of his soul, but simply reacted to his pressing step by step.

"Because you are my father." Hugo said, just such a simple sentence, but it made Adam avoid his eyes uncomfortably, quite embarrassed, "I want to become an actor, and I am also working hard to become an actor. Moving forward with this dream, but the dream is not in conflict with the family, I think we need to communicate a little more, don't we?"

Adam fell silent. He had already lost the opportunity. Hugo had just heard the conversation between him and Old Jack, which made him lose the excuse he had been using as a cover, and also allowed Hugo to find a breakthrough. Although Adam didn't know why Hugo suddenly figured it out, opened his heart, and chose to restore the relationship with himself, Adam knew that Hugo was right. In fact, deep down in his heart, why not long to be able to be with his son? How about a peaceful chat? Adam couldn't remember how long he hadn't calmed down and had a conversation with his son, not since the year she left, when he was only eight years old.

Seeing Adam's silence, Hugo didn't know what to say. The dialogue between men always seemed very difficult. Hugo turned his head and looked to the side, and then saw the paper on the window to block the sun. It turned out to be a movie poster. The one in the lower right corner was "Dead Poets Society", and the one next to it was "Hudson Eagle". "And "Small Restaurant", above it are "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", all the posters of the ten movies he has appeared in are neatly placed on the windows, and the rest are replaced by newspapers.

Hugo seemed to have seen his name in the newspaper, and was about to get a closer look when Adam noticed Hugo's movements, coughed twice, and said, "So, you don't mind your mother's What's wrong?"

Adam's words made Hugo turn his head suddenly. Hugo would not forget that this incident was the fuse of the conflict between their father and son. Adam once said that Lena was driven away by him, and obviously Hugo and Lena After all, Adam is not a father who is willing to play with his children, so Hugo and the father who should bear all the responsibilities are completely separated, and the two are drifting apart.

"What I'm curious about is why my mother didn't take me with me in the first place." Hugo said with narrowed eyes.

This is Hugo's biggest loophole after thinking about it for a long time. Since Adam said that Lena was driven away by him, but Adam did not imprison him, why didn't Lena take him away when he left? If this is the case, this is obviously not in line with the facts. Lina is really close to her son, and she is worried that her husband will not be able to take good care of her son by driving away her husband rudely, so it is impossible for Lina to leave alone. This is not an easy decision for any mother, especially when Hugo and Adam don't have a good relationship.

Adam was silent again because of Hugo's words. He obviously did not expect that after more than ten years, Hugo would suddenly discover this loophole. All along, this lie has been seamless, and Hugo has never doubted the situation described by Adam, but after Lena left, the father-son relationship was completely broken, and then the father-son confrontation began for fifteen years. But today, Hugo is back, so it seems like things are falling apart for more than a decade.

"So what, you shouldn't ask me. If you want to accuse me, you have said enough in the past ten years, so there is no need to repeat it now, I told you the truth, whether you Believe, that's it." Adam could only grit his teeth and bite the bullet to continue to insist on this statement, other than that, there was no other way. "So, if you're going to hate me, go ahead, it doesn't make any difference to me."

Hugo didn't speak immediately. He could detect the abnormality from Adam's slightly changed face. Adam was a man who was not good at expressing his emotions, but he was also not good at hiding his emotions. Adam's hesitation, struggle, and concern for Hugo. Seeing it clearly, suddenly, a bold idea entered his head like lightning, which made Hugo's heart start beating wildly, if this is the case, then all is obtained. Explanation, but, is it really going to be like this?

"You said you didn't care about my acting career, but what were those posters? You said you didn't care about my life at all, but little Jack told me otherwise; you said you didn't want me back at all, but your eyes didn't That's what you said. So, you said that you drove your mother away, is that really true?"

Hugo's words made Adam's heart tremble slightly, but he bit his lower lip tightly and dared not speak, and then he heard Hugo say, "In the beginning, it was my mother who left on her own initiative, right?"
