America 1982-Chapter 343 - 29: Things Are Getting Interesting

On the big bed in their own bedroom, Tommy gently wrapped his arms around Ottilia, who was softening beside him, "Are there really so many people in the world who need your help, so much so that it made you forget there’s a man in California waiting for you just as anxiously?"

Ottilia tilted her head up toward Tommy’s chin to make herself more comfortable before saying lazily, "Of course not, Tommy, how could I ever forget you?"

"That’s hard to say, what if overseas you met a handsome yet poor man who, grateful for your help and with your assistance, changed his own fate, becoming more excellent and dazzling, just like when you sent me that box of books and I became who I am today, if that man stood up and said, ’Ottilia, would you look at this world with me?’ Maybe then you’d forget about me waiting for you anxiously in California."

"Haha~" Ottilia laughed happily, turning around to lie on top of Tommy and asked with a smile, "So, what would you do if there really was a man who took a fancy to me?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"I wouldn’t need to do anything, Ottilia, my dear, let’s put it this way, if any man overseas so much as glanced at you, your security team would teach him a lesson for me, otherwise why do you think Jim insists on having me pay for your security costs myself, getting a bunch of ruthless men and women to protect my beautiful wife sure isn’t a small expense," Tommy said, smiling as he kissed Ottilia on the lips.

Ottilia bit Tommy’s lip lightly in dissatisfaction, "That’s not the standard answer, Tommy. You should say that you would be even more excellent when it comes to dealing with love and family, so excellent that no other man in the world could make my heart flutter."

"Don’t worry, no one can surpass me when it comes to loving you. If there were, the bodyguards would take action," Tommy said with a smile, then kissed her lips.

After a long while, Ottilia, who was on top of Tommy, sat up and looked down at her boyfriend, "By the way, my mother said to thank you. When she and my father came to Los Angeles for a short weekend trip, you got them an invitation to a star-studded movie premiere, allowing them to watch a new movie for free, and they even took pictures with several stars they liked."

"Is that something to thank for?" Tommy said.

"What I mean is~" Ottilia looked at her boyfriend beneath her with a swirling gaze, "Did my mom remind you of something?"

Dodging Ottilia’s gaze, Tommy looked away and spoke casually, "Of course, Mrs. Farrell reminded me not to waste money watching that movie at the cinema because it was so boring, and your father reminded me that the leading lady wasn’t my type, so it wasn’t worth the expense."

"Tommy~" Ottilia playfully slapped Tommy’s chest, slightly annoyed, "How would my father know what kind of woman you like? Don’t joke about him like that."

"Of course he knows, Ottilia, because the woman I like is his precious daughter," Tommy said confidently, but he didn’t look into Ottilia’s eyes.

"I know they must have said other things to you, but you don’t want to tell me now, do you? Never mind, don’t force yourself," Ottilia said with a slight sigh after seeing Tommy’s reaction, then tried to roll off him.

Only then did Tommy put Ottilia down, looking up at his girlfriend with nothing on, "If you mean they reminded me about proposing to you, yes, they did."

"So what?" Ottilia asked, thrilled as she resettled herself on Tommy, after he finally spoke about what she had wanted to hear.

Tommy stroked Ottilia’s golden hair, "So, until I’m ready with the proposal gift, I won’t reveal the exact date or any arrangements, women love surprises, right?"

"I’m not trying to pressure you, Tommy, it’s just... I hope you remember that you haven’t done this for me yet and I’ve been looking forward to it, especially after my mother called to tell me she had reminded you about this," Ottilia said, looking up at Tommy, a hint of guilt in her voice.

Tommy looked back earnestly at Ottilia, "There will be a surprise waiting for you, Ottilia. I promise, you know I wouldn’t lie to you."

"Alright then, I want to reward you, Tommy~," Ottilia said with a smile, sitting up straight and bracing her hands on Tommy’s chest, having received his promise.

Tommy’s eyes twinkled as he asked, "You mean getting back into your high school teacher’s uniform to play games with your student, Tommy, don’t you, Miss Ottilia Farrell?"

"If you’d like that, Tommy, I’ll have Dorothy help me get ready," Ottilia said, hearing Tommy’s words and preparing to get off to have Dorothy help her get her outfit ready.

Seeing Ottilia ready for the next round after barely fifteen minutes since the last one had ended, Tommy quickly interjected:

"No, no, no, wait a minute, during this brief interlude after just finishing, I need your help with a little matter, I mean a small work-related matter."
