Chapter 390 390 Family Truth

Before that, Hugo had never doubted the authenticity of Adam's words. According to Adam's elaboration, it was their marriage that broke down that year. Adam beat Lena. In the end, Lena couldn't bear the domestic violence and left the house.

In fact, this statement is very true. Adam was originally a grumpy man, and his bad habits of smoking and drinking made the statement of domestic violence impulsive. Moreover, in the dialogue between Adam and Hugo, he always They are all repelling Hugo's approach, and they have repeatedly said bad words to Lena. Everything confirms Adam's statement.

But after coming back to Lanches today, Hugo found out that this is not the case. Maybe Adam is not a good father or a good husband, but he is definitely not a man who will perform domestic violence. Of course, it is also possible that he did it impulsively when he was young The wrong thing has now been corrected, but there is a question mark in Hugo's heart that can't be stopped: what if everything is just a lie?

As a result, an idea appeared in Hugo's mind like lightning, and then it grew like wild grass. In the end, he couldn't help but blurt out, "In the beginning, it was my mother who took the initiative to leave, right?"

After saying this sentence, Hugo himself was taken aback. Whether it was in Lancaster's mind or in his own mind, he had never thought of such a possibility, because this was from Lancaster Eighth The fact that he had known from his father since the age of two, the unshakable fact that the father had no need to deceive his son, and still had such a bad reputation on his shoulders; but at this moment, such thoughts ran like moss in Hugo's mind. Growth can never be shaken off.

Hugo's heart was shocked, he also saw Adam's expression paused, the pain in his eyes flashed, like a shooting star in the sky, but it was captured by Hugo keenly, but then Adam calmed down. , gritted her teeth with a disgusted expression, "You shouldn't doubt your mother like this, she will be very sad to find out."

"I just want to know the truth." Hugo heard the pain in his heart from Adam's voice. This is a detail that cannot be heard on the phone. The transmission of the telephone line is often accompanied by noise, and it also conceals The details in the voice, and Adam's forbearance expression at this moment were all in sight. Hugo felt that his heartbeat was beating before him, and the truth seemed to be in front of him, within reach.

Adam looked at Hugo's firmness, and his son looked a lot more mature and stronger than when "The Eagle of the Hudson" was released two years ago. The ups and downs of society made his stubborn, willful but vulnerable son grow up. Now, he couldn't even face his son's eyes, which made him avoid his eyes in embarrassment.

Adam closed his eyes, gritted his teeth hard, and said angrily and irritably, "No, I beat your mother, your mother couldn't stand it all, and just left, this is the truth! What do you think? Know what? I've already admitted my mistakes, isn't that enough? Do you want to continue torturing me? If you want to fight for your mother, you can come and beat me, you've grown up, your fists are strong enough You can fight against me, so don't wiggle like a sissy and vent your inner anger!"

Adam once again denied Hugo's guess, but this time, Hugo was not as violent as before, because he clearly saw the pain hidden deep in Adam's turbid eyes. His eyes suddenly became warm, and he realized that he had touched the truth.

"Why don't you dare to look at me?" Hugo said aloud, and then watched Adam's decadent face turn pale in an instant. His eyes turned to Hugo, trying to confront him, but when he saw Hugo's With clear eyes, he turned his eyes away again with a guilty conscience, "Because you are worried that your eyes will betray everything, because you know that you are a bad liar. In fact, I can ask old Jack, I believe He at least knows the truth about some things, but I want you to tell me the truth, and I have the right to know the truth."

Unprecedentedly, Hugo confirmed his speculation that maybe all of Adam's claims were lies, all of them.

Adam slowly raised his head and looked at Hugo's familiar and unfamiliar face. For ten years, he had been avoiding this moment, because he didn't want to ruin the last bit of beauty in his son's heart, but it seemed that this moment had finally come.

Two years ago, he heard about the bad situation after the release of "The Eagle of the Hudson", and he could see negative news about his son in the newspapers almost every other day. Son, embarrassed by alcohol and poison. He was crushed, but he didn't dare to go forward. His heart was suffering. He hoped that his son would be strong again, but he couldn't help him up with his own hands, and could only hope to wake him up with his bad temper.

Now that his son has finally grown up, he now has to look up at his son's strong body, and his son can finally rely on his shoulders to withstand the pressure of those rumors, and then move closer to his dream step by step. There was a trace of relief in Adam's heart that slowly flowed through.

"Why are you obsessed with the truth? Many times, the truth is just more hurtful." Adam said in a hoarse voice, the whole person was defeated, and all the momentum collapsed in front of the tide like a sand sculpture castle. With trembling hands, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the counter, lit the cigarette, and took a hard puff in his mouth, only to stabilize a little.

But when Adam raised his head, he noticed that Hugo took a half step back and covered his mouth and nose with his right hand. Adam looked over suspiciously, and Hugo's voice muffled from behind his palm, "I'm right Nicotine allergy."

Hearing this sentence, Adam was at a loss. He looked at his frowning son, then at the cigarette in his hand. Finally, he snuffed out the cigarette in a panic. Then he fiddled with his hand cautiously. Putting it in his pocket, he muttered in a low voice, "How come you didn't have any problems before..." But the voice soon became quieter, because Adam realized that his knowledge of his son was infinitely approaching zero.

Adam glanced around unconsciously. Originally, he wanted to ask if Hugo's allergies were serious, but since he hadn't cared about his son for too long, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only remain silent.

The convenience store was silent like this. After a while, Adam found that his son was still looking at him firmly. He knew that his son still wanted to know the truth. This truth has been maintained since his son was eight years old. Originally, Adam thought that this fact would be brought to the grave by himself, but he did not expect that he would see the light of day again after all. At first, Adam was worried that his son could not bear the truth, but now, it seems that the time has come.

"I..." Adam said, but found that his throat was hoarse to the point that there was no sound. He had to cough twice, and then coughed up a mouthful of thick phlegm before continuing, "I am in When Cheyen knew Lena, she was only eighteen years old, and it was the most beautiful years of her youth, not long after her nineteenth birthday, she had you, so we got married."

Adam's speech did not have too many decorations. It was obviously a memory of free love, but he said it dryly without any emotion. Hugo could only guess the beauty of those years from Adam's smile hidden behind his beard. and sweet.

"After getting married, she and I came to Lanches. I inherited this convenience store from my father. I usually work as a carpenter, and I go to the arena to play on weekends. Life is very comfortable." Adam whispered. Arrived, his eyes lowered slightly, with a moment of tenderness, but soon disappeared in the cloudy eyes, "But Lina doesn't like it here, she wants to go to New York to Los Angeles to have a look, She misses the crowd of cars in the city, I once took her and you to live in Cheyenne for two months, but... this is still not what she wants."

Wyoming, a vast and sparsely populated western region, is completely desolate compared to the prosperous places like New York and Los Angeles. Even Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, is not prosperous. Obviously, Lena doesn't want to stay in the poor country, she wants to go to the big city. Lena, who had given birth to Hugo, was in her twenties, and Adam was eight years older than Lena. There was a huge difference in their plans for the future.

"So, when you were eight years old, one night, while we were all asleep, she packed her bags and chose to leave and never came back." Adam finally told the truth.

From those words, you can feel that although Adam is not a gentle and romantic man, he did give his all to Lena. He wanted to live a happy life with his wife and son, but young Lena was She didn't want to be bound by her family, so she chose to fly away.

"Three months later, she sent the divorce agreement, and her address was in New York." Adam said simply, he did not deliberately exaggerate his emotions or exaggerate the facts, he just said it simply, after speaking , Adam said quietly with his head down, "That's all there is to it."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth in the first place?" Although Hugo already had the answer in his heart, he still hoped to hear the answer from his father. Hugo only felt that the emotions in his heart were rolling, and the warmth in his eyes caught his eye. start to get blurry.

Adam looked up at Hugo, then lowered his head sullenly, "You always call out to Mom, I'm not her."

Things are so simple yet so complicated. All these lies are just because of Adam's dull but deep fatherly love, and he doesn't want to destroy Lena's perfect image in his son's heart, so he lied. Hugo's eyelashes finally couldn't bear the weight of the tears any longer, and the hot tears fell down like this.
