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

Adam has been caring for himself in his way, and he speaks ill sarcasticly every time he calls, but when he thinks about it carefully, his care always contains his rude words: he is worried whether he has enough living expenses, he is worried whether his work is going smoothly, he is worried whether the blows from the media have defeated him, and he is worried whether the temporary setbacks have made him lose confidence...

Perhaps Adam was not a kind father, a careful father, nor a patient father, but he was indeed Hugo's father and Hugo's "only" relative. Compared to the mother who had never had any contact, Adam had to do much more responsibility.

So why did Adam never let himself come back to visit him? In addition to the bad relationship between father and son because Hugo ran away from home, so that Adam thought Hugo didn't want to go home at all, is there any other reason? Adam always emphasized that he drove Lina away at the beginning, and Hugo had a quarrel with his father because of his mother's departure. So can Hugo guess? In fact, there are other reasons behind Lina's departure. Adam did not want Hugo to know, so he kept hiding it and felt guilty about Hugo and did not want Hugo to go home.

Strictly speaking, Hugo has a little bit of the calmness of a third party, so he will not be occupied by anger in his father and mother's issues. However, is there any other secrets in Lina's departure or is she thinking too much? Everything is like Adam said.

"He is a man, a man with courage and responsibility. Haven't you seen him play around with those reporters? Haven't you seen how successful this movie is? Humph, he doesn't need me to worry. Our Lancaster man is much better than you think." Adam's rough voice sounded again, and his tone was still familiar impatient and a hint of obvious disdain, as if he was talking to him.

"Your kid still has the courage and responsibility? You're kid kidding. I don't look like a Wyoming man at all. My kid is the real Western man!" The hoarse man roared without showing any weakness, obviously very dissatisfied with Adam's expression.

Little Jack turned around and looked at Hugo with guilt, "Sorry, my father always speaks like this... without any scruples." The person who talked to Adam inside was actually Old Jack. No wonder Hugo felt that this voice was familiar, but it seemed much lower and hoarse than the sound in Hugo's impression.

Little Jack pushed open the door of the convenience store, and the wind chimes at the door jingled, "Good morning, Adam." Little Jack nodded in the direction of the counter, and then continued, "Dad, you can hear it at Chez's house."

"Son, you're here just right, Adam said..." Old Jack stood up in high spirits, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Little Jack, "Hugo is back."

"What?" Old Jack was stunned, and little Jack could only repeat, "Adam, Hugo is back."

Hugo stood at the door, blocked by little Jack, and could not see the scene inside. He took a deep breath and walked into the convenience store. His eyes only had time to look at the entire convenience store about 300 square feet (thirty square meters). Then the three people in the room entered his eyes and occupied all his attention.

The man standing behind the counter looked almost sixty years old. His messy beard and gray hair had no care for a long time. The ravines on his forehead were deeply carved with traces of time, and the vicissitudes of his eyes clearly described the imprint of time. The dark brown eyes looked a little muddy in the lights of the room, and the dark red lips were so dry that they were a little cracked. The dark gray shirt seemed to be rubbed into a ball and pulled out from a corner, but it still could not hide the man's burly figure. After a thick look, it was at least six feet up. The thick shoulders and unprotruding belly could still see some traces of fitness.

The first impression this man gives people is that he is rough, sloppy, embarrassed, and decadent. But if you look carefully, you can find that the frown eyebrows have a sharp manly spirit. The handsomeness between the eyebrows is full of treasures accumulated by the years. The turbid but deep eyes are like stars in a foggy night. No matter how much fog is, it cannot cover the brightness of the stars. The lazy and chin that belongs to southern France can be found in his eyes. The perseverance of the chin has not lost its sharpness due to age. Although the angular face has become loose, the fatal attraction of the Nordic man can still be found.

How handsome and handsome this man should have been when he was young, and how energetic he was with his figure that was no less than the football quarterback. You can imagine his deeds at school. However, his bad temper makes people unable to imagine what his personality he was when he was young, nor can I imagine why he was willing to settle in a corner after getting married and stayed in the small town of Lanches for the rest of his life. When he was young, he should have been a young eagle spreading his wings and flying, and has an extremely broad world in the outside world.

This is his father, Adam Lancaster.

Hugo could find traces of his skin between his eyebrows. The handsome eyebrows stretched towards his forehead were completely inherited to him. Hugo's heart tightened in an instant. He was still worried that his reaction would not be true enough when he saw Ya, but 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, and he could see the flash of at a loss and panic in Adam's eyes. Adam even clenched his fist and retreated a little, as if this little distance could widen the distance between the two. At this moment, Hugo's eyes suddenly became a little wet, because he finally saw Lancaster's father, as if he had seen Chen Hugo's father. After ten years of meeting, when they met again, they were not only the distance between time, but also the distance between space; because he felt the obscure but deep fatherly love. Maybe Adam was a man with a bad temper, maybe Adam never swears on the phone, but he was his father, and he was unprecedentedly certain.

Hugo remembers that Adam should be only fifty-four years old this year, but he looks like he is sixty years old. Little Jack said that Adam's health has always been in poor condition, which made Hugo start to worry. It turned out that his father was 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 grabbed and his breathing stopped in an instant.

Adam had no idea that his son would suddenly appear at this point in time. He caught him off guard and left him unable to react at all. He was stunned for a moment. Adam then shouted irritably, "What are you doing when you are back! Have you caused trouble again outside? 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 him, "Shut up! I am not as fragile as you think. If you have any problems, you will only cry and look for your father. Even if there is any problem, I will solve it myself, so you don't have to worry!"

People always seem to be like this, showing their ugliest but truest side to their family. Perhaps facing the same accusations, they may fight back or tolerate or even forgive in society, but when facing their family, they often tend to completely break out and turn the accusations into a war.

Adam was so blocked by Hugo's rebuttal that he couldn't speak. He was worried that Hugo had heard his conversation with Old Jack, so his speech would not be so tenable at this moment. So Adam was silent at this moment.

Hugo ignored Adam who was silent and turned to look at the old Jack who was standing aside and staring at the stunned one, "Long time no see, old Jack."

"Hey, Hugo! You... are really grown up!" Old Jack obviously had no way to connect Hugo on the screen with Hugo in real life immediately. "You know, you were... so tall when you saw you last time." Old Jack gestured at his chest, then looked up at the tall boy in front of him, and sighed Lianlian, "I can't believe it."

Hugo noticed this detail. When Taylor and his son saw him, they could not recognize themselves as soon as possible. The ten-year interval was indeed too long, but when Adam saw him, he did not pause at all. Was it just because Adam went to watch his movie? Or did Adam have also secretly seen himself in private?

"Dad!" Little Jack pulled the shocked father, but Old Jack did not react immediately, but looked at his son, "What?" Then he noticed that his son turned his eyes to Adam, and Old Jack then reacted, "Oh, God, Adam, sorry, I forgot, I must leave time for you." Old Jack's words made Adam turn his head and look elsewhere, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Old Jack seemed to have not noticed it, and then said, "So, Hugo, do you want to have lunch here? Otherwise, come to our house, Molly will be very happy about your arrival."

Hugo did not answer immediately, but looked at his father. In fact, he was not sure, but Hugo still answered honestly, "If necessary, I don't know much now."

Seeing that his father seemed to have something to say, little Jack quickly stopped his father, "Dad, if you have anything to say, you still have enough time."

Then Old Jack nodded embarrassedly, "Yeah, Yeah, I get it. Wow, Hugo is such a big kid, it's amazing, isn't it?" Old Jack turned to Adam and said, "Adam, I'll leave the space for you, son, go."
