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

Godfather Vito's face stiffened instantly; he had already guessed what Tom was going to say.

Vito Corleone said proactively:

"Mike, really, you can't even make it through Christmas?"

"If something happens to him on the battlefield, this may be his last Christmas."

Tom shrugged, a little helplessly saying:

"You know what's best for him if you want him to take my city council seat."

"Don't let your emotions control you, Vito the Godfather."

Vito nodded and agreed:

"I understand that when Mike runs for office in the future, saying he enlisted before Christmas versus after Christmas will give the audience a completely different impression."

"Sigh~"

"Let me think of a way to get him to join the army before Christmas without attracting Mike's attention."

Vito, the godfather, also hardened his heart. For the future of the Corleone family and for Michael's future seat on the city council, Michael had to leave.

Tom was also very satisfied. It seemed that the central constituency would most likely be given to Mike after he left.

If Mike has a better public image, it will be beneficial for him as well.

After immigrating to Italy, he studied hard from a young age and was admitted to the Philosophy Department of Harvard University.

A few months after graduation, the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred.

To protect his country, he resolutely joined the army even on the eve of Christmas.

After the war, he returned home as a war hero.

This character is so perfect.

After settling the Corleone family in, Tom hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to drive to Denise's house.

On the one hand, Tom had recovered his health and become bolder again;

On the other hand, of all the people Tom knew, Denise was the most knowledgeable about the American election mechanism.

No matter how perfect Tom's plan may seem, it's always good to learn from Dani.

Tom first went to the China Market, carrying large bags of groceries, and then arrived at Denise's penthouse apartment.

These are all Diane's favorite foods, some sweet and sour dishes.

Similar to when she last came back, Denise was lounging on the sofa, watching TV.

On the screen, a popular animated mouse, all over the United States, is making Denise giggle with exaggerated movements.

Tom put the ingredients in the kitchen, and as he passed through the living room, he didn't dare look at the TV at all, for fear of receiving several lawyer's letters.

As Tom passed by, Dani's nose twitched slightly, and then a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Tom put the ingredients down, and Denise walked to the kitchen doorway, saying indifferently:

"My uncle told me that you are going to follow in his footsteps, and that we can't get married anytime soon."

"Given his personality, he definitely told you already."

"And their attitude was definitely not good, am I right?"

Tom, arranging the ingredients, replied without turning his head:

"Um."

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Dani calmed herself down and continued:

"I understand my uncle; I know what he's worried about."

"I understand you, if you follow in my uncle's footsteps."

"Having a wife and a stable family is a great vote-getting label."

"I just hope that if you're going to marry another girl, you'll tell me directly."

"I will definitely agree, and I won't hold a grudge against you or her because of it."

"Don't hide it from me, okay?"

Tom's ears twitched slightly; he sensed that something was wrong with Denise, but he still didn't turn around.

She began to analyze in her mind why Denise said that.

With an intelligence score of 5.0, I began to review the memories of the past two days.

Memories flashed by like a slideshow, and the memory of going to Office Building No. 1 resurfaced.

Suddenly, a background music started playing in my mind again, seemingly out of control:

"You smell of her perfume on you; it's my nose that's to blame."

"I shouldn't have smelled her beauty, I'll wipe everything away and sleep with you~"

Tom paused, then realized the problem: it was the perfume smelling from the receptionist!

Last time, Diane joked that she smelled "smelly," and this time it really came true.

Last time it was just Diane throwing a tantrum, Tom can prove it with his "actions";

Things are different now. Tom understands that Denise's fear is of uncertain feelings and that she is afraid of losing Tom.

Tom didn't turn around, and said directly:

"My little Dani, are you jealous?"

"Is it because I smell like someone else's perfume?"

Denise said somewhat seriously:

"Tom, be serious!"

"I'm not analyzing your future, about finding a woman to marry..."

Tom interrupted Dani and said directly:

"We're both smart people, is it really necessary to lie to me and to yourself like this?"

Are you telling me all this now because you're "rationally" analyzing my future?

Denise paused, her head lowered unnaturally, and her vision began to blur.

Tom continued:

Do you remember one minute before 12 p.m. on December 11, 1941?

"You are with me."

"Because of you, I will always remember that minute."

"You didn't get out of the car. From that moment on, you could only be my wife."

"That's a fact, you can't change it, because it's in the past."

Tom was halfway through his sentence when he felt as if he had been hit by a ball, followed by warm liquid seeping from his back.

Then, Denise sobbed and said:

"Don't lie to me! If you dare lie to me, I'll definitely have my uncle kill you!"

Tom said shamelessly:

"Really? Are you willing to do that?"

Denise regained her usual energy, pinching Tom's soft flesh with her nails and nibbling at his shoulder.

Tom also made an exaggerated expression, pretending to be in excruciating pain.

But Denise wasn't about to let Tom off so easily.

After all that fooling around, dinner, which was supposed to be Chinese food, turned into eating Little Tom and Little Denny.
