Leonardo took the peanut butter bottle, walked to the hall, and took a serious look at James in front of him, as if the see-through eye was penetrating James's skin and looking at his soul. This made James a little nervous, and even suspected that Leonardo would suddenly burst out in the next second and give him a punch.

Leonardo didn't, though, he just nodded at James and turned around and walked up the stairs. Leaving James alone in the hall, but on pins and needles, he finally felt the consequences of his reckless decision, and even James himself began to think, "Why did I decide to come to Malibu in the first place?" ”

When Leonardo came to the second floor, he didn't see Hugo, and he had to raise his voice and shout, "Hugo? Hugo? Then there was a shout from upstairs, "I'm on the third floor," and Leonardo trotted all the way up to the third floor, and then saw Hugo sitting on a balcony lounge chair flipping through the script.

Hugo's expression was very normal, without any special emotions, which made Leonardo stunned, "So, what are you doing?" ”

Hugo held up the script in his hand, "Studying the script, I found some problems, and I need to clarify my thinking." After saying that, Hugo also pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was not affected by James downstairs at all.

Leonardo sat down next to Hugo, raised the peanut butter in his hand, and asked Hugo if he wanted it, Hugo shook his head, so Leonardo put another tablespoon into his mouth and licked it carefully, as if it was a five-year-old child stealing peanut butter behind his mother's back, which made Hugo laugh, "Let Samora make you some food, the family still has money for a meal." ”

Leonardo also laughed, and when he had laughed, he put the spoon in his mouth, secretly looked at Hugo's side face, hesitated, and said, "So, the kid downstairs, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's not my child, what do you mean?" Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth speechlessly, "Wherever he comes, he is not my responsibility." ”

Leonardo sighed softly, "Hugo, don't you realize? Although you keep saying that you don't care, and you keep emphasizing that Lena's life has nothing to do with you, in fact, you still care. Your heart knot doesn't open at all, so there's no way you can deal with it properly. ”

Hugo didn't speak, just looked up at Leonardo. Leonardo saw the wound in those amber eyes, the pain and torture that slowly tore the scar open, which made Leonardo a little unbearable, he even involuntarily avoided his gaze, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, "It's like Uma, your attitude towards her is normal, because you know that she is just a stranger, and she can't hurt you, so you are very calm." However, this is not the case with Lena, you are still afraid to open the wound, so you are avoiding it. ”

Hugo opened his mouth, only to find that he had no way to refute it. Hugo looked down at the script in a bit of a panic, "I...... I need to read this script intently, other questions...... It doesn't matter ...... for the time being."

But having said that, Hugo found that he couldn't focus his eyes on the lead words in front of him at all, and the pile of fonts was pasted, leaving only a black mass, "Hugo, you should know that if you want to punish or take revenge, it's not difficult, but you don't, why?" Because deep down in your heart, you also know that her choices hurt you, but she has nothing to do with you now, you have your life, she has hers, and neither of you should continue to torture yourself because of a choice in the past. That's what you say, but that's not what you do. ”

"Leave the past in the past", everyone knows this truth, and Hugo also convinced himself, but it is too difficult to really do it.

When he met Lena at Universal Studios last year, he hid like a coward, and it was Charlize who helped him stop Lena. Why? Why didn't he dare to face Lena? Why couldn't he confront Lena directly? Because deep in his heart, he still hasn't let go, he still can't forgive, but he also has no way to retaliate, so he cowardly hid.

It's ridiculous.

"Leo, so, should I forgive her?" Hugo's voice was like a wisp of smoke, a breeze could be blown away, and the scar in his heart was finally completely torn open, not only dripping with blood, but even the pink flesh inside. I thought it would hurt to the extreme, but I couldn't feel it because I was so numb.

Leonardo exhaled softly, "Do you want me to be a friend, or an objective third party?" Hugo pulled at the corners of his mouth, but not a smile, and Leonardo continued, "I don't think you're forgiving her, but you're going to stop torturing yourself." You don't need her love to prove your existence because you have Adam, and missing you is her loss; You also don't need her confession to prove your success, because it was she who chose to leave, and now all the consequences should be borne by yourself; You don't need her pain to prove your happiness, because you have had your own life in more than 20 years without her. ”

Leonardo said calmly, but every word made Hugo gradually fall silent, and the transparent light penetrated the layers of armor and sprinkled on every dark corner of Hugo's heart, expelling the haze in it little by little, making the cold blood begin to have a temperature. "Forgiveness is actually forgiveness for oneself."

Hugo sat quietly, he remembered Adam's advice to himself, in fact, every time Adam persuaded himself to let go, not because Adam had chosen to forgive, nor because Adam understood Lena's choice, but because Adam didn't want himself to suffer. Although Adam was so wooden and never knew how to express it, deep down in his heart, he cared about only one, and he was always his child. Not the woman who has gone, not the new family that has been built in a strange place, but his children.

In fact, when he heard James' description just now, he originally thought that he would be happier and he would feel relieved when he heard about the disaster of the Franco family. But this is not the case, because Hugo knows that the break of the Franco family's peaceful life cannot undo those pasts, Lena's pain and remorse will only become the shackles of life, and more importantly, looking at the struggle and pain in James's eyes, he does not feel that this is the right thing to do.

So, does this mean that he is also destroying the happiness of that family with his own hands?

"Hugo, do you remember? You told me before that when we were young, we always made mistakes, made bad choices, and then spent our lives making up for those mistakes. Being young is not an excuse that doesn't explain those mistakes, but it's a necessary stage of life that no one can skip. ”

Leonardo's words made Hugo chuckle, turned his head to look over, and looked at the immature young man in front of him seriously, the blonde hair was shining in the sun, the corners of Hugo's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a smile, "Leo, how come I don't know, when did you know so much truth?" ”

Leonardo dug a spoonful of peanut butter into his mouth, then shook his head, "You told me all these truths, remember?" Leonardo raised his eyes and looked at Hugo's amber eyes without dodging, "Hugo, you taught me all these truths. ”

The smile on Hugo's lips slowly retracted, but he didn't speak again.

Leonardo didn't speak anymore, just sat quietly next to him, quietly accompanying Hugo, but the spoon in his hand kept going back and forth between the peanut butter and his mouth, and he even licked the spoon repeatedly, enjoying the happiness brought by the sugar. The sound of smashing and smashing jumped gently in the air, and Hugo couldn't help but show a helpless expression, "Hey, do you have to eat so loudly?" ”

Turning his head, Hugo saw Leonardo's innocent expression, he shook his head helplessly, snatched the spoon from Leondo's hand, and then took the peanut butter, "Didn't you say you wouldn't eat it!" How's that, I still can't stand the temptation. Confused, right? Leonardo said triumphantly as he sat next to him.

Hugo rolled his eyes at Leonardo, "Shut up, this is my peanut butter." ”

"Hey! This is also my home! Leonardo muttered a grumbling, but then smiled flatteringly, "I've got you covered, my apartment needs to be repainted, and I'll be able to live here for a while?" ”

"How long?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Leon Andor, who looked like a husky, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Leonardo cocked up his right index finger, "A week? ”

Leonardo shook his head, "No, a month. ”

"A month? Your apartment is not going to be renovated! Hugo said speechlessly, but Leonardo's eyes widened with a pleading expression, and Hugo pointed in the direction of the study, "You go and get my guitar." ”

Leonardo immediately stood up and saluted nondescriptly, "Yes, sir!" Then he trotted barefoot all the way into the study, took out the acoustic guitar that Hugo often used, and handed it to Hugo, "Sir! What else do you have to say? ”

Hugo handed the peanut butter to Leonardo again, "Shut up, sit next to it and wait obediently." As a result, Leonardo stood up and saluted again, then respectfully took the peanut butter and squatted beside him, "Sir, you want to create a melody?" Hugo glared at a glance, and then Leonardo obediently raised his right hand, made a zipper gesture on his mouth, and sat quietly next to him, with a quiet and beautiful appearance, so that Hugo finally couldn't hold back a smile.
