Chapter 388 Chapter 388

Hugo stood there, and in his head echoed what Charlize said last time, "Hugo, have you ever thought that he actually cares about you."

Adam has been caring about himself in his own way, swearing every time he makes a phone call, but thinking about it, there is always his concern in those harsh words: he is worried about whether he still has enough money to live on, he He is worried about whether his work is going well, whether the media blows have defeated him, and whether the temporary setback has made him lose confidence...

Maybe Adam is not a kind father, nor a careful father, nor a patient father, but he is indeed Hugo's father and Hugo's "only" relative at present. For a mother who had never had any contact, Adam had too much to do.

So why doesn't Adam allow himself to come back to see him every time? Apart from the fact that the father-son relationship was so bad because Hugo ran away from home that Adam thought that Hugo didn't want to go home at all, was there any other reason? Adam has always emphasized that he drove Lena away at the beginning, and Hugo fell out with his father because of his mother's departure, so Hugo can guess whether there are other reasons behind Lena's departure. Adam did not I didn't want Hugo to know, so I kept hiding it, and I always felt guilty for Hugo, and I didn't want Hugo to go home.

Strictly speaking, Hugo has a little third-party coolness, so when it comes to fathers and mothers, he doesn't get angered all over his head. However, whether there are other secrets for Lena's departure, or is she thinking too much, everything is just as Adam said.

"He's a man, a man with courage and responsibility, didn't you see him playing around with those reporters? Didn't you see how successful this movie was? Well, he doesn't need me to worry, we Lancai The man from the Ster family is much more powerful than you think." Adam's rough voice sounded again, his tone was still the familiar impatience, and there was a trace of obvious disdain, which seemed to be aimed at the person who was talking to him. object.

"Just that kid in your family still has the courage and responsibility? You're kidding me. I don't see any Wyoming man in his fragile psychological defense. My kid is the real western man!" The hoarse man also showed no signs of weakness. Roaring, obviously dissatisfied with Adam's expression.

Little Jack turned his head and glanced at Hugo guiltily, "Sorry, my father always speaks like this...without scruples." The person who was talking to Adam was actually Old Jack, no wonder Hugo felt that the voice was familiar, but this The voice seemed to be much lower and hoarse than Hugo's impression.

Little Jack pushed open the door of the convenience store, the wind chimes at the door jingled, "Good morning, Adam." Little Jack nodded in the direction of the counter, and then continued, "Dad, you talk so loud, Chase. You can hear it all over the house."

"Son (Junior), you came just in time, Adam said..." Old Jack stood up excitedly and was about to say something, but was interrupted by young Jack, "Hugo is back."

"What?" Old Jack froze in place, and Little Jack could only repeat, "Adam, Hugo is back."

Hugo stood at the door and was blocked by Jack, so he couldn't see the scene inside. He took a deep breath and walked into the convenience store. He only had time to look at the entire convenience store. m) size, and then three people in the room came into view, taking all his attention.

The man standing behind the counter looked almost sixty years old, with a messy beard and gray hair, and it was obvious that he had not taken care of it for a long time. The vicissitudes of life clearly described the imprint of time. Those dark brown eyes were a little cloudy in the dim light in the room, and the dark red lips were dry and cracked. The dark gray shirt seemed to be crumpled and pulled out of a corner, but it still couldn't hide the man's burly stature. At a rough look, it was at least six feet up, with thick shoulders and The lower abdomen that is not prominent can still see some traces of fitness.

The first impression of this man is rough, sloppy, embarrassed, decadent, but if you look closely, you can find that the tightly wrinkled eyebrows have a fierce masculinity, and the handsomeness between the eyebrows is full of years. The treasure that came down, the turbid but deep eyes are like the stars in the foggy night. No amount of fog can hide the brightness of the stars. can be found in. The perseverance of the chin has not lost its sharpness with age. Although the angular face has become slack, it can still find the fatal attraction of Nordic men.

How handsome and handsome this man should have been when he was young, how high-spirited, with a figure that is no less than that of a football quarterback, one can imagine his deeds in school. However, that bad and irritable temper made it impossible to imagine what kind of character he was when he was young, and he couldn't imagine why he was willing to settle down after marriage and stayed in the small town of Lanches all his life. When he was young, he should have been a young eagle with wings ready to fly, with an incomparably vast world in the outside world.

This is his father, Adam Lancaster.

Hugo could find the traces of his own skin between those eyebrows. The handsome eyebrows that stretched out toward his forehead were completely inherited from him, and Hugo's heart tightened instantly. Worrying about whether his reaction when he saw Adam would not be real enough, at this moment, Hugo felt so clearly: this was his father, and every cell in his body was shouting in a low voice.

Hugo looked at Adam, he could see the flash of overwhelm and panic in Adam's eyes, Adam even clenched his fist and stepped back, as if this little distance was enough Keep the distance between the two people generally. At this moment, Hugo's eyes suddenly became a little wet, because he finally saw Lancaster's father, just like seeing Chen Yuguo's father. After ten years of meeting, when they met again, not only It is the distance in time, and there is also the distance in space; because he feels that kind of obscure but deep father's love, maybe Adam is a man with a bad temper, maybe Adam never makes excuses on the phone, but he is his own father , unprecedented certainty.

Hugo remembered that Adam should only be fifty-four years old this year, but he looked like he was sixty years old. Little Jack said that Adam's health had never been good, which made Hugo start to worry. His father is also approaching the age of knowing destiny. At this moment, Lancaster's father and Chen Hugo's father overlapped on Adam, causing Hugo's heart to be caught, and his breathing stopped in an instant.

Adam didn't expect his son to appear suddenly at this point in time, which caught him by surprise and made him unable to react at all. He was stunned for a while, and then Adam roared irritably, "What are you doing here! Are you outside? Trouble again? If you want me to help you clean up the mess, you can give up, I won't care about you! Get out!"

Hugo's first reaction was to scold back, "Shut up! I'm not as vulnerable as you think. If there is any problem, I will only cry to my father. Even if there is a problem, I will solve it myself, so you don't have to worry! "

People always seem to be like this, showing their ugliest but also their truest side to their families. Perhaps in the face of the same accusation, the society may fight back, tolerate or even forgive, but in the face of family members, it is often easy to break out completely, turning the accusation into a war.

Adam was speechless by Hugo's rebuttal. He was worried that if Hugo had heard the conversation he had just had with Old Jack, then his words were not so tenable at this moment. . Therefore, Adam fell silent at this moment.

Hugo ignored Adam, who had been silent, and turned to look at Old Jack, who was standing beside him stunned, "Long time no see, Old Jack."

"Hey, Hugo! You...really grown up!" Old Jack obviously couldn't immediately connect the Hugo on the screen with the Hugo in real life, "You know, the last time I saw you, You are...so tall." Old Jack gestured on his chest, then looked up at the tall boy in front of him, and sighed again and again, "I can't believe it."

Hugo noticed this detail. Taylor and his son couldn't recognize themselves immediately when they saw them. The ten-year interval was indeed too long, but when Adam saw himself, there was no pause. Is it just because Adam went to watch his own movie? Or did Adam also secretly see himself in private?

"Dad!" Little Jack pulled at his shocked father, but Old Jack didn't react immediately, but glanced at his son, "What?" Immediately he noticed that his son was looking at Adam, and Old Jack did not know what to do. He reacted, "Oh, God, Adam, sorry, I forgot, I have to leave you time." Old Jack's words made Adam turn his head and look away, trying to hide his embarrassment.

But Old Jack didn't seem to notice it, and then said, "So, Hugo, do you want to have lunch here? Otherwise, come to our house, Molly will be very happy to have you here."

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but glanced at his father. In fact, he was not sure, but Hugo answered honestly, "If necessary, but I don't know right now."

Little Jack saw that his father seemed to have something to say, so he hurriedly stopped his father, "Dad, if you have anything to say, you still have enough time."

Then old Jack nodded shyly, "Well, well, I see. Wow, Hugo is really a big kid, it's amazing, isn't it?" Old Jack turned to Adam and said, "Adam , I leave the space for you, son, let's go."

The Taylors left the convenience store one after another, and then only the Lancasters were left.
