Chapter 869 869 Contradictory Thoughts

Hugo and James were both silent, as if they didn't know how to speak. The relationship between the two was really weird. Although they were strangers, they were inextricably linked. Looking at James in front of him at this time, Hugo finally understood why he was a durian in James' eyes.

"Do you like durian?" Hugo blurted out, not knowing what was going on, probably because his brain wasn't fully awake.

"What?" James was stunned for a while, obviously not knowing how the topic of Hugo came up, and the question mark on his face was clearly written on his face.

Hugo waved his hand in embarrassment, "It's nothing." Then he pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk. Although I don't know how much the topic is about, it probably won't take a minute or two to finish."

After watching James sit down with some restraint, Hugo thought for a while, but still said, "Just now, thank you." Without James' help, it was obviously impossible for Cameron to deal with it alone. Mandy's The accomplice is sure to run away.

"No, I just... just did what a normal person should do." James couldn't look directly at Hugo at this time, his eyes kept drifting. Recalling Hugo's reaction when he confided the truth before, he couldn't settle down, and he was no longer sure if what he was doing was the right one.

Hugo twitched his mouth, "At least your reaction is quick enough, otherwise I'm not sure if the clothes can stay on the body completely." Hugo's humorous self-deprecation made James grin and he wanted to laugh out loud , but realized that it seemed inappropriate at this time, so he quickly closed his mouth.

Looking at James with a smile, Hugo saw the future James Franco with a charming smile on the big screen. Twenty years later, James has always been a geek among Hollywood actors. He can control all kinds of movies, and he doesn't mind self-destructing images to appear in spoof comedies. He is definitely a maverick existence.

Hugo still can't imagine: that James Franco has blood relationship with him, which is really too strange, far more jokingly than others who played "From. Here. To. Eternity" It's absurd that Burt. Lancaster, the old drama of the classics such as "Elmer. Gantry", is related to him.

Hugo, of course, was not related to Burt Lancaster, and he never thought he would be related to some big Hollywood figure. But now, it doesn't seem so.

"So, tell me what's going on, completely." With the easing of the jokes just now, Hugo seemed much more comfortable when he spoke again.

James was stunned for a while, looked at Hugo's calm expression, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak, but found that the rhetoric he had planned before had been messed up at this time, he could only say from the beginning, "I am On Mother's Day last year, I stumbled across a picture of you -- I mean, a picture of you when you were a year old, my mom holding you, too, your mom."

This time Hugo did not interrupt James, nor did he close his eyes to escape, but listened quietly.

James told the whole process, and Hugo listened quietly. Even if he heard Lena's first reaction when facing James' questioning, he didn't react at all, and was still a loyal listener. Until James had told everything, "Then I followed the band to Houston, and I realized that sooner or later things were going to be laid out, and there was no point in delaying, so... so I found you, and then..."

James swallowed the next words, turning into a vague mumble.

Hugo did not speak, nor did he move, he was carefully digesting everything James had told. It turned out that it was so simple. Lena abandoned their father and son, and she had abandoned them eighteen years ago. Regardless of whether Douglas Franco appeared or not, Lena had no plans to go back to him, because Li Na chose to go to Stanford University and start a new life.

The appearance of Douglas was just a catalyst, which made Lena understand her choice: give up Hugo and choose the current life. Eighteen years ago, when Lena chose to leave without looking back, the result was already doomed, wasn't it? The composition of the Franco family is only for Lena to confirm again, so Lena hides the photo, so Lena "misses" the opportunity to speak to Douglas again and again, so Lena will choose the happy and beautiful life "now"...

All is not surprising, is it? But why, why does Hugo still feel sad, still angry, still feel betrayal. It turned out that this was the feeling of being abandoned, and it was the feeling of being abandoned by his own mother. There was an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

"So, what do you want? You suddenly found me, tell me the truth, what do you want?" Hugo looked at James calmly, he didn't show anger or sadness, instead the corners of his mouth He also drew a small smile and said calmly, "You know, I'm doing well now, my father and I are living a very happy life; you know, you're doing well now, and Lena is also Well done, you are living a very happy life, so why did you seek me out and tell me this fact? As Lena said, there is no benefit in breaking the peace."

James looked at such a calm Hugo and was speechless. He didn't know why. Hugo in front of him didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but it made him feel that kind of deep disappointment. The real disappointment is not glaring, nor quarreling, nor complaining, but that there is clearly a full stomach to say, but it is just turned into a "sigh", which is taken lightly.

The current Hugo is like this. What Hugo is asking is not why Lena abandoned him, but why it is necessary to break the peace. It is best to maintain the status quo for everything. Hugo is completely disappointed in Lena. When we talked about it for the first time just now, James could still see Hugo running away and could feel Hugo being angry, but now, there is nothing left. This is the real disappointment. However, James has no way to accept this view.

"Curiosity." James's mind was also in chaos at this time, because he himself couldn't understand the root of all these behaviors, "Aren't you curious? When you learn that there is a person living in this world, one who is related to you someone you've never met; someone who may well represent your mother's past, but who is also a secret; someone who might break your life and turn everything upside down..." James A little excited, but also a little frustrated, his smart eyes were also covered with a light mist at this time, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "A man with an amazing talent that makes you admire Jean You admire the people you look up to. Aren't you curious?"

James raised his head to look at Hugo, those tearful eyes made Hugo unable to face him, Hugo could only dodge his eyes a little embarrassedly, sighed lightly, and then Hugo heard James continue. Said, "I'm curious, I'm curious about what kind of person you are, and I wonder if your mother was hiding some secrets when she left you. What about you? Aren't you curious?"

Hugo pursed his lips slightly and shook his head, "No, I'm not curious." James was stunned by this answer, and all his expressions were like a mask, staying on the tender face.

"As I said earlier, my father and I are very happy and happy now. I don't wonder how Lena is living after she leaves. She is living a happy life, and I am not jealous or angry; she is living a miserable and embarrassing life. , I will not be sad, nor will I be happy. Because I know that she has made a choice and insisted on it; my father and I must also make a choice, and we have never forgotten what happened eighteen years ago, and we also It can only stay in the past, can't see the present, and can't find the future. So, I'm not curious."

Hugo just said this quietly, but there was a pain in his heart. If he really didn't care, he wouldn't pretend to be calm; if he really wasn't curious, he wouldn't run away again and again. ; If he really didn't care, he wouldn't be afraid to see James' eyes.

However, at this time, Hugo could only choose to pretend not to be curious, this was the only thing he could do, especially after knowing the truth, Hugo thought of Adam who had been persuading him to forgive Lena, and his heart throbbed.

"So, after you tell me the truth, what do you want to happen?" Hugo asked quietly, as if discussing what to eat for lunch and dinner, "Let me go over and meet her? Or should I stay away from you? Far away, don't disturb the happiness of your family? Or let me know this fact and quarrel with her in the past? Or forgive her for her troubles and reach a settlement with her?"

Facing Hugo's unhurried inquiry, it was not a question, but the simplest and most common discussion, but James was speechless, he couldn't say anything, because he didn't know that he was standing in front of Hugo. The real reason, I didn't understand before, and I still don't understand it now.

"Or... are you sympathizing with me?" Hugo's mouth curved slightly, and he chuckled. The disdain slowly faded from his eyebrows, and then dissipated in the air like a light smoke. among.

Looking at Hugo in front of him, James was speechless. He didn't know how to respond. He couldn't understand Hugo's reaction. He didn't even understand the choice his mother made. He even thought about his own behavior. He couldn't come up with an idea, so he could only stare at Hugo in a daze, unable to say a word.

James, he was only a sixteen year old after all.
