While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

Chapter 184 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot

The next morning, the sunlight slanted down on Tom and Denise.

As usual, the two of them were together in the morning.

But unlike usual, the two of them were actually sleeping today, not just "sleeping".

Tom got up first and, relying on his [Astartes]-level attributes, moved Dani off him without waking her, and went to prepare breakfast.

After Tom left, Denise ate at the restaurant almost every day.

In the kitchen refrigerator of the entire apartment, apart from the few eggs that were left over, all the other food was either not fresh or rotten.

Tom isn't a traditional American; he can accept canned food, but he prefers fresh ingredients bought from East Market.

When I first transmigrated, I ate canned food because I was poor. Can things be the same now?

Tom checked the time; it gets light very early in New York in June, and it was not even six o'clock yet.

Tom went downstairs, got into his long-unused Ford luxury car, and headed to East Market.

Everyone says that American factory workers work fourteen to eighteen hours a day.

That's because they haven't seen the small businesses in Dongda. Some shops are open 24 hours a day, and even at three or four in the morning, there are always people buying things.

Watching over the shop.

After buying the groceries, Tom also bought a few newspapers and returned to Denise's apartment.

It's been a long time since I've cooked.

Tom has been either on tour or chasing military orders lately, so he hasn't had much time to cook for Denise.

Denise was never pretentious; she never, in any situation, at any time, in any state, or for any reason, asked Tom to spend more time with her.

Denise didn't mind; Tom prioritized his work and career.

While cooking, Tom suddenly wondered if Denise's way of thinking was a bit too much like a typical Tokyo University woman.

It's still a very traditional mindset among women from Tokyo University.

In other words, I can tolerate my man not spending time with me, going to work, or even messing around outside, and I won't care.

But you have to go home and acknowledge me as your mistress.

This kind of thinking is very typical of Tokyo University; it's a disguised form of "guilt-based" love.

I've done so much for you, you can't just abandon me, can you?

In other words, Tom is a conscientious and excellent entrepreneur who wouldn't abandon his wife and children. If it were some heartless scoundrel like Chen Shimei, and he abandoned Diane, Diane wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Tom decided to cook a big meal to treat Dani.

Make something simple: twice-cooked pork, lamb offal noodles, steamed dumplings, poached chicken — ten or eight dishes will suffice.

They were busy until almost eight o'clock before the dishes were almost finished. Dani woke up from bed and came to the living room with sleepy eyes, waiting for Tom to finish cooking.

It wasn't that Dinnie was inconsiderate and didn't help prepare the dishes or serve the food; it was just that Tom wouldn't let Dinnie do those things.

As usual, Denise lay on her side on the sofa, ready to turn on the TV.

But the newspapers on the coffee table caught Diane's eye.

The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New York Times —

Denise saw the front pages of various newspapers, and they were almost all about Tom.

The "MNYG!" group of ironclad protesters stormed the state government building the day before yesterday and clashed with the state police yesterday. It's hard to imagine this incident not making headlines.

No matter which newspaper it was, they all showered Tom with compliments.

After all, resolving the conflict and appeasing the "MNYG!" army of thugs to stop causing trouble was a great achievement, especially considering that the person being misunderstood and imprisoned was like...

Any journalist would praise Tom for embodying the "American spirit" with this awareness.

The ones who are praising it the most are definitely Karl and Anna.

Denise was also quite interested, flipping through the newspaper again and again.

While looking at it, Denise even planned to cut out Tom's picture from the newspaper.

Although Denise frequently uses Little Tom and is almost tired of playing with Tom's body, she still can't help but feel a stirring of lust when she sees Tom's half-naked photos.

Denise plans to take as many great photos as possible while Tom is resting in New York.

Tom's private photos~~~

Just thinking about it made Dani's mouth water.

But soon, reason and anger overwhelmed Slaanesh and hunger.

Because the report, which spanned several pages, included many photos of Tom and Karina interacting.

Consumed by jealousy, Denise began to carefully read the news reports containing photos of the two interacting.

Most reporters, though not explicitly stating it, deliberately crafted a romantic relationship between Tom and Karena.

Karina may be flat-chested, but she's not ugly. Stories of handsome men and beautiful women, especially love stories, are always the most captivating.

In particular, the shameless Carl, in order to attract attention, directly portrayed Karena as Tom's absolute fangirl.

Carl even imagined a whole story:

Karena initially harbored extreme resentment towards Tom, but was then captivated by his personal charm and eventually fell deeply in love with him. Together with Tom, she resolved the conflict between the MNYG! army and the state police.

You know what, Carl actually guessed pretty accurately what happened.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, whether Carl's guess is accurate or not, Dani has seen the red temperature!

His face was even redder than when he fought Tom in the warp!

There was no way around it; Karl's literary skills were simply too high.

Although Carr never used words like "I love" or "like" to express liking or love throughout the entire text;

But anyone who reads Carl's article will think that Tom and Karenina are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, a perfect pair, and a harmonious union.

If it were just a minor brush with the line, Diane could tolerate it, but given Carl's description, it would be strange if Diane didn't look at the red-hot area.

Tom, who was finishing up in the kitchen, was completely unaware of this. He had just bought the newspaper on a whim, only glancing at the front page before bringing it back.

Tom brought out the last main dish, beef and scallion buns, and then called to Diane, "Dane, breakfast is ready!"

Upon hearing this, Diane slammed the newspaper on the coffee table and stormed off to the bedroom, leaving behind the words, "I'm not eating!"

Tom had absolutely no idea what was going on with Denise.

Looking at the days, it's not yet time for Diane to get "inexplicably" angry.

Tom walked to the coffee table and saw the newspaper that Diane had dropped last.

Tom understood the whole story after just one glance at Carl's report.

Denise isn't a true traditional Tokyo University woman; how could she possibly tolerate a man having a wife outside the marriage?

Even the most traditional women at Tokyo University would only condone men taking concubines, not wives.

Carl's report completely treated Karena as Tom's wife, no wonder Denise was angry.

Tom yelled at the newspaper, "Carl, you've really gotten me into trouble!"

But Tom couldn't do anything about Carl, since it was Tom himself who taught Carl this reporting style.

This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

Carl sneezed, then continued writing furiously.

Carl inquired privately and learned that his book, "The Love Story of Tom and Karenina," was highly praised.

Carl has already planned to publish a serialized love story, specifically about Tom and Karenina.

Suddenly, Karl felt a chill creep up to the top of his head.

Carl didn't think much of it, assuming he had just caught a cold, otherwise why would he have sneezed?

Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, I won't think about it anymore, let's arrange a love story for Tom first.

Mr. Tom will definitely love the love story I arranged for him.

After all, ordinary Americans love gossip stories, so this can be seen as a great promotion for Mr. Tom, increasing his popularity among ordinary people.
