The advantage of living in Malibu is that it is really quiet and has enough *. Even if the paparazzi stayed in front of the villa for a few days, it would be difficult to take useful photos. It would be better to stay in downtown Los Angeles. There may be more bursts. Moreover, in the "L.A. Confidential" propaganda period recently, Hugo's exposure rate remains high, which also relaxes the paparazzi a little bit. Relatively speaking, the number of paparazzi at the entrance of the villa has dropped a lot.

Leaving the villa today, Hugo did not feel the heat wave coming from the paparazzi, nor was he surprised. On the contrary, it was strange that there was only one person standing at the door, alone, which seemed too unusual. Moreover, this person did not hide, but stood at the door of the garage a little dazedly, hesitating, not like a paparazzi, but like an ordinary resident waiting for someone - there are still many ordinary residents in Malibu.

Therefore, Hugo didn't think much, and ran out in small steps. However, the image that flashed by just appeared in his mind. Hugo always felt a little familiar and a little unfamiliar. This is almost normal for Hugo with face blindness, but today it makes Hugo. There was a bit of worry in his heart. Before he realized it, he slowed down, and just walked a few steps forward, and stopped where he was.

Hugo stood there, panting slightly, but the vague image in his mind became clear bit by bit, and finally even the face he had barely seen clearly became clear. Hugo actually didn't start running at all, but he couldn't help but breathe, because he knew that face and was always deep in his memory: Lena Franco.

Why did Lena appear in Malibu today, and still standing in front of his villa, is it to see James?

Hugo stood in this way, with his back facing the woman behind him, but he could feel the gaze falling on his shoulders, hot and heavy, causing his muscles to tremble slightly. Hugo didn't turn around, and the woman didn't speak. It seemed that it was extremely difficult to make a sound. She could only stand silently and watch Hugo's back.

Hugo took two deep breaths. He originally thought that after he had completely let go, all this would become simple, but in fact it was not as simple as he thought-but it was not as difficult as he thought. Hugo's mouth was slightly outlined. A smile. He decided not to wait for her to take the initiative to speak, but he took the initiative.

So Hugo turned around like this.

Then Hugo saw Lena standing in front of her, wearing a light yellow spinning long skirt. The tender sky blue flowers on the skirt sway gently in the sea breeze, swaying to outline a touch of style. . It is indeed not as difficult as imagined. The most difficult thing is at the moment before turning around. Once you turn around, all the shackles in your heart disappear, and the corners of Hugo's mouth are loosened, and a light smile is gently outlined, gentle and indifferent. .

Lifting his head, Hugo saw Lena’s eyes. Lena had a pair of sky blue eyes, and her curved peach eyes were as quiet and intoxicated as a spring water. Even though the years had added many wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, she still couldn’t hide them. The depth of the eyes makes people want to explore the story in those eyes. Although Hugo's eyes were amber, they inherited Lena's temperament.

Lena ran into Hugo's eyes and looked away in a panic. She couldn't help but turned away from her body. She didn't want to make direct contact with Hugo at all, but as soon as she moved her feet, she stiffened in place. Immediately afterwards, the body began to tremble, and there was no way to calm down the trembling fingers, she could only clenched her fist hastily, and then placed it behind her back, concealing her tension.

After a pause, Lena forced herself to turn around again, lifted her chin, and looked at Hugo pretendingly, opened her mouth slightly, her lips squirmed but no sound was spoken, just quiet. Looking at Hugo, he seemed to want to look at the man in front of him carefully with his own eyes, see through the blank of the twenty-two years, and trace the growth trajectory of Hugo in detail. But Lena failed, because the man in front of her was completely different from the immature boy in her memory. Only the sunlight between her brows reminded her that this was the little child.

This recognition easily destroyed Lena. She stood there at a loss. She couldn't even burst into tears. She just stood blankly, as if the soul had already begun to burn slowly, and the air was floating in the air. A heartbreaking floral fragrance.

At this moment, Lena really realized what she had missed, what she had done to Hugo in front of her, time was too strong and too cruel, erased all traces, and wrote again. Quite different years. She has no regrets, because as Hugo said, she is not worth regrets. She is not even qualified to regret it. Her regrets will only make Hugo embarrassed, make Franco’s family unworthy, and make her. I became imperfect. Therefore, she has no qualifications to regret, no qualifications to complain... and no qualifications to be sad.

Hugo watched Lena fall apart in front of his own eyes, but he couldn't bear it—as a stranger, he couldn't bear to see it either. So Hugo opened his mouth, "Good afternoon..." Hugo tried to come up with a name, but couldn't find a suitable one, so he said, "Lina, are you here to find James?" Madam , Too rusty, too deliberate; mother, too ironic, too mean; mother, too intimate, too hypocritical...so, it is the most appropriate name to call, "James has gone to acting school, he should be there soon Come back, you'd better go in and wait for him."

While talking, Hugo walked back and greeted Lena to enter the villa, as if he were a hospitable host. After all, James is now living in Hugo's house, and he doesn't need to be hypocritical.

Lena did not follow in Hugo's footsteps, but watched Hugo walk to the wooden fence. Looking at the generous back, the voice in Lena's throat finally squeezed out, "I'm sorry..." this sentence, interval Twenty-two years, but all of Lena's strength has been exhausted. She knows that she is not qualified to apologize, but other than that, she doesn't know what to say, "Hugo, I'm sorry."

Hugo stopped and stood there for a moment, then pressed his lips, a slight smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and he turned to look at Lena in front of him, "I accept your apology." In a word, Lena was completely stunned. This was a response she had never expected, but the relief in the smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth was so real that it hurt Lena's eyes.

Hugo chose to forgive in order to let him go; more importantly, for Adam, he chose to forgive. He has spent 22 years remembering the term "mother", but he has forgotten that there is a more important person in his life, his father. Therefore, he chose to forgive and formally bid farewell to the past 22 years. He chose to stand by his father's side and become Adam's son instead of Lena's. It's as if Lena is James' mother.

It’s just a pity that it took Hugo too much time to realize this. He never forgets Lena. Isn’t it a kind of harm to Adam? Fortunately, Hugo finally figured out all this, so he could smile and calmly face Lena; therefore, he could accept Lena's apology calmly and calmly.

The small smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth completely bloomed, "Come in, stand outside and wait, someone will blame me for inadequate hospitality." Hugo opened the wooden fence and said, "James has expressed here recently. Very good, you can see that he is really interested in acting. If you want, you can let him show the results to you later."

Lina looked at Hugo’s relaxed expression, and finally stepped away, but it was so difficult, one step, then one step, and then passing by Hugo, she could even smell Hugo from the breeze. The fresh licorice fragrance stopped slightly before stepping on the wooden stairs and walking down step by step.

"Be careful, the staircase design here looks very stylish, but I have not received less complaints, it is too troublesome." Hugo fell behind and introduced it friendly, as if he was just an ordinary friend. The visit was average, or more accurately, it was James' mother.

Hugo led Lena into the first floor of the villa, but Lena curiously looked at the plants and trees in the house, bit by bit, thinking of how Hugo and James lived here. But there are mixed feelings in my heart, and the complicated mood is hard to describe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In fact, Lena has no idea why she came to Malibu, whether it is for James, or for Hugo, or for Save the bad atmosphere at home. Lena only felt that her life had become a mess, everything was different from the beginning, but she didn’t know when it started to change, or that everything was built on from the beginning. The mirage above the lies.

Hugo looked at Lena's fluctuating expression, and he could vaguely guess the confusion of Franco's family. James occasionally revealed his words, but it has nothing to do with Hugo. He has chosen to let go, so he refuses to involve him. ——Even if he knows that the chaos is largely related to him, he is not responsible for calming the chaos.

"So, can I give you something? White water? Coke? Juice? Or red wine?" Hugo politely fulfilled the duties of a master, Lena was stunned, "White water, thank you." Hugo nodded slightly. , And then went to the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water, and placed it in front of Lena.

Lena gently picked up the boiling water, the warm temperature warmed the palms of her hands, looked down at the crystal clear white water, but her thoughts slowly settled. Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, interrupting Lena's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Hugo. Hugo smiled politely, "James and the others are back."
