Chapter 1538: 1538

Charlize looked at Hugo, who was hiding behind the spruce, and looked forward suspiciously, and then saw the Franco family, the happy Franco family.

Douglas and Lena held Dave's hands respectively and held them high. Little Dave was swinging with his feet hanging in the air. The bright laughter kept echoing under the clear sky. Tom hugged him in his hands. Holding a camera, he stepped back while recording the happy pictures of his family.

They didn't notice Charlize, much less Hugo. This road is actually the road to the restaurant gathering place of Universal Studios. It is lunch time, and the surging crowd is walking on this road. The Franco family is just a few ordinary people. The stories of misfortune vary, but the stories of happiness are very close.

Originally, no one would notice the Franco family in particular, but Charlize's eyes could not help but see them, almost uncontrollably cast his eyes. Should this be called fate? Or it should be called fetters to be more accurate.

Charlize glanced back at Hugo. Hugo was less than three steps to her right, leaning tightly behind the spruce. Charlize noticed that Hugo's hands were clenched into fists again. He was trying his best to restrain his inner turmoil. Such Hugo made Charlize feel distressed for a while.

Suddenly, Charlize remembered, if she remembered correctly, Hugo and Lena hadn't met today, and they hadn't met before, so...they hadn't met for 20 years. At this moment, Hugo chose to avoid seeing him. Even if the Franco family didn't notice him and Charlize at all, Hugo chose to avoid him. He didn't want to see Lena, even if he just glanced at him from a distance. , he also refused.

The clenched fist clearly showed the turbulence and rush in Hugo's heart at this time, and Hugo was also struggling. No one could understand Hugo's entanglement at this time, but Charlize just stood by and glanced at it, and he couldn't restrain the sourness in his heart.

Charlize glanced at the Franco family again, and the happy smiles on their faces were so dazzling that it was hard to bear to look directly at them. Charlize suddenly noticed that little Dave was looking over, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge to the side so that they would not see it, so as to avoid frontal contact, but her footsteps were still a beat, and little Dave had already He shouted loudly, "It's that beautiful girl just now."

The childish voice seemed a little sharp amid the din of the crowd, and the Franco family immediately noticed Charlize who was standing in the open space next to him.

The smile on Lina's face suddenly stiffened. She didn't know what happened just now, didn't know that little Dave had temporarily lost it once, and that little Dave had fallen below his knee. This morning, Lina seemed a little uneasy. It was Dave's birthday, but she disappeared most of the time. She disappeared for a long time after going to the bathroom.

Fortunately, Douglas didn't want his wife to be worried, and Tom didn't want to be blamed by his mother, so he didn't tell Lena about Dave; and obviously, Lena's actions just now were hidden from the family, not Inform her husband that she has visited Charlize privately.

Now, being called out by little Dave, the expressions of the Franco family seem a little weird. In the end, it was Douglas who simply said, "Dave and I got separated just now. It was Ms. Theron who contacted the security and asked me to find Dave." While speaking, Dave broke free from his parents' hands and turned towards Charlize. ran in the direction of.

Normally, Lena would have panicked, lest Dave be injured, but today Lena seemed absent-minded, just a little surprised, and then nodded repeatedly, "It's fine." Although Douglas was a little strange, he thought it was because At this time, in front of outsiders, his wife gave herself a face, so she didn't get into it.

The two did not continue to communicate, and followed behind Dave, and Tom had already grabbed Dave's collar half a beat ahead of time and walked over together.

Douglas took the initiative to introduce Lena and Tom to Charlize. Charlize's eyes flickered slightly, and he found that Lena was avoiding his sight. She didn't mention her plan to ask Hugo just now, which made Charlize's eyes quickly flashed. A hint of sarcasm. Hearing Douglas asking her "what are you doing here," Charlize looked back and said with a smile, "Oh, I need a little fresh air during my lunch break, so come here and take a break."

Douglas thanked Charlize again and again, and Lena noticed that Charlize didn't seem to recognize her at all, and she was relieved for a while - after all, a star like Charlize should see countless fans every day, and Lena also He smiled and expressed his gratitude, "Dave always stumbles, and Doug and I are not less worried about him. I came to Universal Studios today to play. I expected this scene before leaving, and I also joked, He has to be tied to Doug's waist with a leash or he'll get lost, so I think I'd be wiser."

Lena said with a smile on her face, and she lowered her head and rubbed Dave's little head hard, so she could clearly hear the doting in her words. Dave twisted and escaped Lena's palm, and muttered dejectedly, "Mom! I'm not a child, I'm already twelve years old!" This complaining word had some coquettish flavor, which made the stand Tom next to him laughed.

"Sorry, we interrupted your rest, I hope your work today goes well." Douglas seemed to sense the tiredness between Charlize's brows, and said politely, and after expressing his gratitude to Charlize again, he brought The family turned and left.

Charlize watched Lena bend down and put a kiss on Dave's cheek, which made her avert her eyes, or she wouldn't know what she was going to say. But when he turned around, he found that Lena actually came over again, and Douglas stopped in the distance with his two children, still with a smile on his face.

Lena walked up to Charlize and hesitated, "Hey, I don't know if you remember me..."

Charlize nodded and replied impatiently, "Yes, I remember you, Lena Franco, it's just that I didn't think that you were Dave's mother."

In fact, Lina still wanted to ask about Hugo. She tossed and turned all morning, but she still couldn't put it down, because she knew that Hugo was close at hand, as if it was just a step away and she could get in front of him. But Lina didn't know how to deal with it, she wasn't sure what to say when she appeared in front of Hugo, and she didn't even know what she was thinking in her heart-whether she was expecting something, trying to make up for something, or something else, So she can only hope to learn something through Charlize, even if it's just a few words.

Hearing Charlize's answer, Lina couldn't help being stunned. Charlize actually remembered herself, she stopped talking about what she had planned, and looked back at her husband and children who were standing in the distance, "Then just now... "Why did Charlize pretend to be seeing her for the first time?

"Because I know you're Hugo's... er, mother." After Charlize finished speaking, she closed her eyes tightly, and she didn't even have to turn her head to feel Hugo's eyes on her shoulders. The weight made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Oh..." Lina was suddenly concentrated by these words, her expression became stiff in an instant, and then she nodded slightly, "Oh, you know..." The voice gradually disappeared in her throat. Lina only felt a tickling in her throat, and the uncontrollable urge to cough made her want to vomit, "Uh, so, you...you know him, you are his friend..."

"I'm one of his best friends, we used to be roommates." Charlize said neatly, Lena was stunned, "Oh, wow", the short exclamation did not continue, Charlize was quiet Looking at Lena, those quiet eyes clearly told Lena: I know all the facts.

"So, you know...I...then..." Lina's words could only start with a beginning, and the rest of the words disappeared. She pointed to herself, and then looked back to see that she was playing in the distance. The Franco family. Charlize nodded, "Yes."

Such a simple and neat answer was blunt and alienating, causing Lina to cover her chest and sighed in a low voice, "Oh." But the final sound disappeared completely in her throat. "So, uh, you're familiar with him?" Lina could only repeat some nonsense.

Charlize sighed lightly, "If you're asking if I know what happened, then my answer is, yes, I know what happened, everything. Except, of course, that you don't want Hugo and The part Adam knew."

Charlize's words made Lena's face turn extremely pale in an instant, and she muttered in a low voice, "Adam..." The name seems to have become so unfamiliar in her life, yet so familiar.

Charlize glanced at Hugo, who was standing beside her, from the corner of her eyes. She knew that although Hugo still couldn't see Lena, she could clearly hear all Lena's words. Hugo turned his cheeks away at this time, leaving only the back of his head facing Charlize. The faintly exposed chin was tightly stretched, and it was still trembling slightly, and he could feel the turbulence in his heart. This made Charlize extremely worried, and she was worried that Hugo would collapse completely in the next second.

"I don't know what you're trying to say, but I know Dave wouldn't want to know that, and neither would Douglas." Charlize didn't vent his anger to his heart's content, but calmly stated the truth - true And the cruel fact, this made Lena look back at the family members in the distance, and the bright smile on Dave's face stung Lena.

Charlize waved at Dave, showing a smile, but spitting out cold words, "That's your family, not Hugo."
