Chapter 608 608 Silent Conversation

In the crowded and noisy city night, dim yellow lights lit up the whole city, the soft halo and the stars above the sky against each other, dispelling all the cold, loneliness and fear of the whole night. What each lamp represents is a family, in which there is joy and tears, joy and sadness, harmony and quarrel, but in any case, all emotions are contained under one lamp and become themselves. The most important station in life and the eternal harbor.

The liveliness of Hugo's house has gradually settled down. The madness and joy of this night are constantly ups and downs with the process of the NFL Christmas battle. There is no way to satisfy the game. The quarterbacks of both teams are in the game. The performance was abnormal, but in the end, the Houston Oilers relied on the excellent performance of the running back to win 10-7, which is really disappointing. It is not only the loss of the San Francisco 49ers that is disappointing Contest. But even so, the game is worth remembering because it was a game where all family and friends gathered to watch.

The dinner party continued until nearly midnight, when Hugo escorted the Taylor family and his father to a family hotel next to Sunset Plaza and rented a courtyard for them to live in.

Old Jack seemed to want to make time alone for the old friend, father and son, so he took the Taylor family and walked in front, leaving Adam and Hugo behind.

"So, are you really all right?" Adam hesitated for a moment, but he still said cheerfully. Although he was not good at expressing his feelings, he also didn't like to go around in circles, so he finally expressed his inner worries.

But obviously Hugo didn't react. He looked at his father suspiciously, "What?"

"Those reporters, they are always talking nonsense in the newspapers, can you handle it?" Adam said clearly, he glanced at his son standing next to him, although his son was taller and stronger than him, Adam still couldn't Completely relieved, "Recently, you have seen how ugly the news is written, and people who don't know think you have done something to kill and set fire. You must not back down. To deal with these bastards, you have to fight back and let them know about you. How hard is your fist, do you know?"

Hugo watched Adam vent his dissatisfaction ramble there, he could see Adam's gray temples, he could also see the deep gap between Adam's eyes and eyebrows, he could also see Adam's eyes The hidden worries...

Adam is only fifty-four years old this year, but he looks like he is sixty years old. The handsome face of his youth has been stained with the wind and frost of the years. It is such a rough and irritable man who shields himself from the wind and rain. For so many years, he clumsily supported a child's childhood with his shoulders, and at the same time was repelled by the child for more than ten years, but he still stood firmly behind the child without any regrets.

Hugo knew that Adam came to Los Angeles because he was worried about the latest news. Otherwise, he would never have left Lanches. Christmas was just an excuse.

The recent news about Michael Jackson, news about "Pulp Fiction", and news about the Junjie Music Festival has been buzzing and noisy. If it was before the Golden Globes, it would be difficult for Hugo to keep calm, but now Hugo knew how to deal with the media, so he wasn't in a hurry. Although it seems that all the media is talking about Hugo, in fact Hugo has always had the upper hand.

However, Adam is different. He is a father, and he is still outside the circle. His worries have never been relieved. This reminds Hugo of the past few years, especially the one after the "Hudson Eagle". For more than a year, Lancaster, who was plagued by negative news, was completely opposed to Adam. It was hard to imagine how Adam could endure it for more than a year. After the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo completely cut off contact, Adam. The only way to get news is through newspapers and magazines, and this torment is even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Hugo was not in a hurry to refute. He hoped that Adam could express his thoughts, and he hoped that Adam could teach himself a lesson like his father.

"Laugh, you're still laughing, do you know that those reporters are man-eating devils!" Adam immediately became anxious when he saw the faint smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, which made Hugo quickly restrain his smile, Listening to Adam's reprimand with a serious look on his face, "They can't wait to see you fail now, these people are just like this, they always don't see a little bit of success for others, you must pay attention and don't give them more opportunities !"

Hugo didn't defend, just nodded earnestly to show his understanding, which made Adam satisfied, but after speaking, Adam didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent, which made the atmosphere between the two awkward again. stand up. Adam was still thinking about whether what he just said was too heavy, but he wanted to ease the atmosphere but didn't know where to start, which made Adam feel very frustrated.

Adam looked at his son standing beside him. Although he never said anything, he was really proud of Hugo. He didn't know how other actors were successful and how hard it was, but he knew that rain The fruit is to rely on their own efforts to get to where they are today.

Hugo studied for a bachelor's degree in classical literature from Yale University by part-work and part-time; and then relied on his own hard work to start learning acting from scratch, and persisted until now without any family support; experienced two major ups and downs After the volt, Hugo rose tenaciously again, and every time he made those people shut up with a better performance...

Adam doesn't know what other people are like, but he is proud of Hugo, not only because Hugo is his own son, not only because of everything Hugo has achieved, but also because Hugo faced difficulties. The spirit of never willing to admit defeat or give up.

However, there was no way to express the countless turbulence in Adam's heart. He only felt that his throat was blocked, and in the end he could only sigh, "Has your mother contacted you?"

Hugo looked at Adam in astonishment. He didn't know why Adam suddenly brought up this topic. Wasn't he still discussing reporters just now? "Uh... no. Why, she contacted you?" Hugo asked in surprise.

Adam was a little embarrassed. He was just worried about Hugo. In the past, the communication between Hugo and Lena was always very good. Compared with his father who couldn't express his emotions, Lena was a very good mother. So he just wondered if Hugo's burden would be easier if Lena was here, at least he had someone to communicate with.

But Adam didn't expect that Hugo's reaction was beyond his expectations. He could feel Hugo's rejection. This was not what Adam wanted. He didn't want Hugo to clear up the misunderstanding with himself, but he passed on all his resentment. When it came to Lena, because there was no need for it, "No, she didn't contact me. But, Hugo, she's your mother..."

"Dad, I thought we had discussed this issue." Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth reluctantly. In fact, he didn't reject Lena, he also wanted to see Lena and ask what happened over the years. Why didn't he take him back then, and why hasn't he appeared all these years? Maybe Lina has difficulties?

But the problem is, looking for Lena now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. She is unwilling to show up, so how could Hugo find her? In fact, Hugo also has some grievances. He is now like a living target. The name "Hugo-Lancaster" can definitely be said to be in a lot of uproar recently. Even under such circumstances, Lena still has no news. So what can Hugo say? The only thought is, "She might have a life of her own now, she doesn't need me, or she can't come back to me, it's that simple. If that's the case, why should we force it? She Wouldn't it be nice to have her life and we have ours?"

When Adam heard Hugo say these words, he felt Hugo's true thoughts, which made him speechless. He was not an eloquent person, so he could only sigh, "Rain Guo, I was also wrong about what happened back then. She was just a 27-year-old young man. She wanted to go outside and she didn't want to be locked in Lanches for the rest of her life, which is understandable. We were all too impulsive back then. , she made some bad choices, I also made some bad decisions, you should give her a chance to explain."

Adam is not talking for Lena, he just wants Hugo to be happy. In his impression, Hugo always sticks to Lena all the time. Any problem can be solved as long as Lena appears, he doesn't want Hugo Change the image of the mother in the impression. Moreover, what Adam said is also true. Eighteen years have passed now, and it has been almost twenty years in the blink of an eye. The complaints and conflicts of the year have long since dissipated, and there is no need to keep them in mind all the time.

Hugo glanced at Adam, did not speak, just pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a far-fetched smile. Adam looked at his son's expression, and he knew that Hugo didn't listen. Although Adam's understanding of Hugo is very limited, he knows that on the surface, Hugo seems to be gentle and gentlemanly, but in his bones, Hugo is the same as himself, with paranoia that cannot be reversed, otherwise Hugo would not have been He ran away from home at the age of fourteen and never came home again.

Thinking of this, Adam could only be silent. Although Adam didn't want Hugo to hate his mother, Adam didn't even want the relationship between him and Hugo, which had finally improved, to freeze again, so Adam didn't say anything anymore, and the two father and son quietly moved forward. go.

The two of them said less than twenty words before and after, and then fell into silence. The two of them walked quietly like this. When they finally arrived at the door of the hotel, Hugo waved to the Taylor family who were standing at the door. With a smile, he said "Merry Christmas" loudly, and then his eyes turned to Adam who was standing in front of him.

Hugo watched Adam stop for a while, and both father and son hesitated, but said nothing. Hugo could only laugh, nod his chin, and whisper, "Merry Christmas," before turning away. But Hugo only took two steps, when he heard Adam's voice behind him, "If you want to go home... just come back."

This hoarse voice slowly settled in the thick night of Christmas night, releasing that warm orange-red light.
