Charlize looked at Hugo hiding behind the spruce, looked forward in confusion, and then saw the Franco family, the happy Franco family.

Douglas and Lena held Dave's hands respectively and raised them high. Little Dave's feet were hanging on the swing in the air. The bright laughter kept echoing under the clear sky. Tom held a camera in his hand, and while retreating, recording the happy scene of his family.

They did not notice Charlize, nor did they notice Hugo. This road was actually on the road to the gathering place of Universal Studios' restaurants. It was lunch time, and the surging crowds were walking on this road. The Franco family was just a few of the most ordinary people. The stories of misfortune were different, but the stories of happiness were extremely close.

Originally, no one would have noticed the Franco family in particular, but Charlize's eyes could not help but see them, and he almost couldn't help but look at them. Should this be called fate? Or should it be called bonding more accurately.

Charlize looked back at Hugo. Hugo was less than three steps away from her right hand, leaning tightly behind the spruce. Charlize noticed that Hugo's hands were clenched into fists again, and he was doing his best to suppress the surging inside. Such Hugo made Charlize feel distressed.

Suddenly, Charlize remembered that if she remembered correctly, Hugo and Lena had not met today, and there was no one before, then... they hadn't met for twenty years. At this moment, Hugo chose to avoid it. Even if the Frank family didn't notice him and Charlize at all, Hugo chose to avoid it. He didn't want to see Lena, even if he just looked at it from a distance, he refused.

The clenched fist clearly showed the surging and rushing inside Hugo at this time, and Hugo was also struggling. No one could understand Hugo's entanglement at this time, but Charlize just stood by and looked at it, and he couldn't suppress the sourness in his heart. The mixed feelings were mixed and he could not explain them one by one.

Charlize looked at the Franco family again. The happy smile on their faces was so dazzling that it was unbearable to look at them. Charlize suddenly noticed that Little Dave looked over. She subconsciously wanted to avoid being away from the side and prevent them from seeing them, so as to avoid direct contact. However, her pace was still a little slower, Little Dave was already shouting, "It's the beautiful girl just now."

The tender voice seemed a little sharp in the noise of the crowd, and the Franco family immediately noticed Charlize standing in the open space next to him.

The smile on Lina's face suddenly stiffened. She didn't know what had happened just now. She didn't know that Little Dave had lost it once for a while, nor did she know that Little Dave had fallen below her knees. This morning, Lina seemed a little restless. It was Dave's birthday, but she disappeared most of the time. She said that she had gone to the bathroom and disappeared for a long time.

Fortunately, Douglas didn't want his wife to worry, 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 concealed by her family and did not tell her husband. She had visited Charlize in private.

Now, being called out by Little Dave, the expressions of Frank's family seemed a little weird. In the end, Douglas simply said, "Dave got separated from me just now. It was Ms. Theron who contacted the security guard and asked me to find Dave." As he spoke, Dave had already broken free from his parents' hands and ran towards Charlize.

Lina must be panicked, fearing that Dave will be injured, but today Lina seems absent-minded, just a little surprised, and then nodded repeatedly and said, "It's fine." Although Douglas was a little strange, he also thought that because his wife gave her face in front of outsiders, he did not go into it in depth.

The two of them did not continue to communicate and followed Dave after him. Tom grabbed Dave's collar half a beat in advance and walked over together.

Douglas took the initiative to introduce Lena and Tom to Charlize. Charlize's eyes flashed slightly, and found that Lena was avoiding her gaze and did not mention her plan to ask about Hugo just now, which made a hint of mockery flash in Charlize's eyes. Hearing Douglas asking her "what to do here", Charlize retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Oh, lunch break needs a little fresh air, so come here to take a break."

Douglas thanked Charlize repeatedly. Lina realized that Charlize didn't seem to recognize her at all. She felt relieved. After all, stars like Charlize should have countless fans every day. Lina also smiled and expressed her gratitude. "Dave always stumbles. Doug and I are not worried about him. Today I came to Universal Studios to play. I expected this scene before I set off. I joked that I must tie him to Doug's waist with a dog leash, otherwise I will definitely get lost. It seems that I am still very wise."

Lina said with a smile, and lowered her head and rubbed Dave's little head hard, which clearly could hear the doting in her words. Dave twisted and fled from Lina's palm, muttering depressedly, "Mom! I'm not a child, I'm already twelve years old!" This complaining words brought some coquettish smell, which made Tom, who was standing aside, burst into laughter.

"Sorry, we've interrupted your rest. I hope your work will go well today." Douglas seemed to notice the fatigue between Charlize's eyebrows, and said politely, then expressed his gratitude to Charlize again, then turned around and left with his family.

Charlize watched Lena bent down and print a kiss on Dave's cheek, which made her unable to help avoiding her gaze, otherwise she wouldn't know what she would say. But when she turned around, she found that Lena had actually walked over again, and Douglas stopped in the distance with her two children, still smiling.

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

Charlize nodded and replied impatiently, "Yes, I remember you, Lena Franco, but I didn't think of you as Dave's mother."

Lina actually wanted to ask about Hugo. She tossed and turned all morning, but she still couldn't let it go, because she knew that Hugo was close, as if she could get in touch with her face just one step away. But Lina didn't know what to do, she wasn't sure what she should say when she appeared in front of Hugo, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, was looking forward to, or trying to make up for something or something else, so she could only hope to know something through Charlize, even if it was just a few words.

Hearing Charlize's answer, Lina was stunned. Charlize actually remembered herself. She stopped saying anything she had originally thought of, and looked back at her husband and children standing in the distance, "Then..." Why did Charlize pretend that it was her first time seeing her?

"Because I know you are Hugo's...well, mother." After Charlize said that, he closed his eyes tightly. She could feel Hugo's gaze falling on her shoulders without even turning her head. The weight made her almost unable to breathe.

"Oh..." Lina suddenly became concentrated by this sentence, and her expression suddenly became stiff, and then she lit her chin slightly, "Oh, you know..." But the voice gradually disappeared into her throat. Lina felt a slight itch 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 am one of his best friends, we used to be roommates." Charlize said simply, and Lina was stunned, "Oh, wow", but the short sigh was gone. Charlize looked at Lina quietly, and his quiet eyes clearly told Lina: I know all the truth.

"So, you know...I...and..." Lina's words always only had one beginning, and the words afterward disappeared. She pointed to herself, then looked back at the Franco family standing in the distance and was playing. Charlize nodded, "Yes."

Such a simple and neat answer made Lina cover her chest and sigh in a low voice, "Oh." The ending sound behind her completely disappeared into her throat. "So, uh, are you very familiar with him?" Lina could only say some nonsense repeatedly.

Charlize sighed lightly, "If you were to ask, do I know what happened, then my answer is, yes, I know what happened, everything. Of course, except the part you don't want Hugo and Adam to know."

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

Charlize glanced at Hugo standing beside him with a glance. She knew that although Hugo still couldn't see Lina, she could clearly hear all the words of Lina. Hugo turned her cheeks away, leaving only the back of her head facing Charlize. The faintly exposed chin tightly became tight and was still trembling slightly, and she could feel the surging inside him. This made Charlize extremely worried, and she was worried that Hugo would completely collapse in the next second.

"I don't know what you want to say, but I know that Dave won't want to know this, so do Douglas." Charlize did not vent his anger to the fullest, but just calmly stated the true and cruel facts, which made Lina look back at her family in the distance. The bright smile on Dave's face hurt Lena.
