Accompanied by a butler and Page, Otilia walked into the King's Seaview Suite at the Betsy Hotel.

Opened in 1942, the Betsy Hotel has dominated the list of luxury hotels in Miami ever since, and has been voted one of the best wedding venues in the United States by Bridal magazine every year, with some of the best private beaches in Miami.

Otilia didn't look carefully at this room where even the parchment books on the shelves were genuine, but sent the housekeeper away with little interest but very gently, and then showed a speechless smile to Page: "So, Tommy didn't have time to pick me up, but he thoughtfully booked the hardest room in Miami but with the most beautiful sea view?" ”

"That's what he said, Miss Farrell." Page replied with a blank face.

Otilia exhaled depressedly: "Well, he's always so busy, I'm used to it, it's okay, very nice room." ”

After speaking, he responded with a bright smile to Tommy, an old bodyguard who trusted him: "Thank you, Paige, I want to take a break." ”

However, Paige didn't seem to understand Otilia's implicit send-off words, he stood there and didn't move, with an unlit wooden pipe in his mouth, Otilia looked at Paige puzzled, and didn't understand why the old Peppa who was always deaf and clear-eyed by Tommy's side didn't understand his words today, she asked, "Is there anything else I need to know?" ”

“…… Miss Farrell, I think you should go to the balcony and enjoy the scenery before you rest, Tommy has been busy for a long time, or rather, many people have been busy for a long time. Page glanced in the direction of the balcony and reminded Otilia with a smile in his eyes.

Otilia looked suspiciously at the balcony, then at Page, and then walked through the living room, to the balcony, and looked down with both hands on the guardrail, and when he saw the situation below, he suddenly let out an exclamation.

Under the balcony, it should have been the exclusive beach of the Betsy Hotel, but at this moment, the beach was covered with a sea of purple flowers, and Tommy, the big boy who told her that he was too busy to pick her up at the airport, was standing in the sea of flowers, wearing casual clothes, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking triumphantly at the balcony where she was.

No woman can resist romance, no woman can resist flowers, no woman can ignore surprises.

"I suppose you can understand how much work I have in Miami by now, Otilia?" Tommy looked down at the sea of purple flowers that had taken the limelight from the real ocean: "I was going to have violets covered with Rhode Island state flowers, but Miami didn't have that many violets, so I ended up adding purple irises from Tennessee and purple cornflowers from Texas to make up the numbers." ”

After Otilia came back to his senses, he smiled happily and was about to turn around and run downstairs from the balcony on the third floor to meet Tommy, but Tommy immediately made a stop gesture to signal Otilia to stop, Otilia stood on the balcony and didn't understand why Tommy didn't let him go down to see him, but then he found that Tommy walked through the flowers, followed a ladder that had been prepared a long time ago, and climbed up to her balcony with dexterity, just like those poor boys in fairy tales who are anxious to have a tryst with the princess.

The ensuing development is indeed like those fairy tales, the princess is blinded by the damn poor boy with flowers, and without much conversation, Otilia is picked up by Tommy and walks towards the big bed in the bedroom.

Page walked out of the guest room with a pipe in his mouth, closed the door, skillfully took out the electric shocker, and put down Martin's half-brother who was coming to meet him and was about to pay for the flowers before settling the bill with Tommy, and then grabbed the other party's collar and dragged the guy who spoiled the atmosphere towards the elevator room, leaving the romance to the men and women in the room who had been reunited after a long absence.

After a long time, Otilia lay lazily on the big bed, held her chin with her hands, and carefully looked at her little boyfriend who she hadn't seen for a while: "They said that you gave yourself a vacation, my father still doesn't believe it, he insists that it is a rumor, you can't let yourself be idle." ”

Otilia has not been left by time, or the expensive high-end skin care products have resisted the erosion of time, and she is still as bright and moving as Tommy was when he first met her.

On the contrary, Tommy himself, his face is becoming more and more mature, which is also some of the places that make Tommy distressed, American men's hair growth rate is amazing, when he was twenty-seven years old in the previous life, he didn't shave for a month and didn't cut his hair, at most he just looked a little haggard and embarrassed, if he didn't shave his beard for a week, didn't take care of his hair, didn't clean up his chest and leg hair, etc., he would look like a sloppy tramp man in his thirties and forties, and if he went out and said that he was Otiria's father, maybe someone would believe it, It's no wonder that hair removal products have been selling well in the United States.

"It's not just me." Tommy lazily brushed Otilia's long blonde hair and smiled at her.

"I know, and Jason, Martin ......," Otilia said, hearing from Paige, who was on the way to the airport.

Tommy shook his head slightly: "No, and you, otherwise why do you think you would suddenly appear in Miami as a director of the New Century Foundation to attend the drinks party held by the Bills?" ”

"Impossible." "It's a normal event for the New Century Foundation, and it's a small reception that Bill has about environmental issues," Otilia said. ”

"If I call you directly and say Otilia, my dear, ignore those poor black people in Africa, let's roll the sheets in Miami, how are you going to refuse me? So, now Diane is begging you to come and see me, roll the sheets with me, and get an invitation, and the cost of the ticket will be reimbursed by the Foundation. Tommy said to Ortilia with a smile.

"You mean you're the one who did the drinking party? It's completely unnecessary, Tommy......" Otilia was stunned for a moment, staring at Tommy for a dozen seconds, and then said uncertainly: "You're kidding, aren't you?" ”

"Of course it's a joke, how could I do that, but you do have to take a vacation, there will be some changes on the Board of Directors of KeyBank in the near future, and someone else will take over your previous African projects...... Jim argued with me a few times over this issue, and I insisted......" Tommy looked at Ortilia: "I want to say that the work at KeyBank will end in the near future, and you have a long vacation. ”

When Otilia heard Tommy say that she was going to end her work in Africa, she immediately turned over and sat up, and looked at Tommy very seriously: "Hey, Tommy, you can't decide everything for me, it's a very serious problem, you are very disrespectful to me in doing this, you should at least ask my opinion first, I have always ......"

"Calm down, my dear, I'm not making my own decisions for you, can you listen to me? Jim and I had a couple of serious arguments, and he felt that you should continue with your current job, and the attitude was even tougher than you are at the moment, because the board felt that you were doing a very good job, it was me, and I just felt that there was a job now that would allow you to help more African women and children, and at the same time have more time to stay in the U.S., so that I can see you more often. Tommy also sat up, put his arms around Otilia from behind, and put his head on her smooth shoulders, soothing Ortilia's little grievance:

"Jim used to deal with some UN organizations because of KeyBank's overseas projects, and once when he was talking to me on the phone, he talked about some of his so-called interesting stories, I didn't think those interesting stories were very interesting, I thought very miserable, so I thought of more important things than bringing them clean water, medicine, and toilets."

"What did Jim say?" Hearing Tommy's seriousness, Otilia asked.

"Women's rights, underage marriage, child abuse, human trafficking and so on, Jim said he heard a United Nations official say that in some countries in Africa, a second-hand AK47 assault rifle is sold for only $5 and 10 rounds of ammunition is the second cheapest commodity in that country, what is the number one cheap commodity? Girls, you only need to pay the girl's parents three dollars to buy a girl. Tommy said to Otilia:

"Jim, that bastard said that at this price, his annual salary plus dividends can buy all the women in that country, which is interesting, but I think of another problem, the popularization of the law in those countries in Africa, there are many countries in Africa where the law is very imperfect, after all, those places are very backward, both civilized and material, and the laws on women's rights and child protection are almost equal to zero, and it is better to expect France to reoccupy them than to expect their own country to introduce relevant laws on the protection of women and children."

"You are a law graduate, you are a professional, you should use your familiar professional knowledge to help those people, you have promoted a lot of public welfare projects in Africa over the years, you understand how barbaric those African countries are, for this reason, I think you should compile what you know into a report, hand it over to the United Nations Association for the Protection of Women's Rights, and use your legal knowledge to do something for them, such as helping those backward countries to supplement some laws on women and children, I think this is the real great cause, If possible, you may need to work with well-known jurists, judges, and lawyers in the United States and even other developed countries to promote the development of their laws based on the realities of those countries. ”

"Leave the work of delivering water to Africans and repairing toilets to garbage whites like Jim." Tommy put his mouth to Otilia's earlobe and whispered:

"Most importantly, it's a great job that allows you to spend more time in the U.S. and no longer have to fly overseas for a long time."

Otilia thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "Of course this is a greater cause, but it is not very feasible, Tommy, those countries are independent, they cannot accept other countries to help them revise the law, such an act is interfering with the sovereignty of the country, and it will only cause the government of that country to resent it." ”

"Our purpose is to help more people, not to make more countries hate us, right?" Tommy nodded understandingly.

Otilia nodded, forgiving the guy who was in charge of his own affairs: "Yes, although you suspended my work, I think you are really kind, Tommy, I mean, if you can think of this kind of problem through Jim's teasing, it means that you are a kind person." ”

"The question of whether I am kind or not can be discussed later, first of all, it is just a bargaining offer, if those countries cannot accept the United Nations interfering in their legal issues, or the United Nations Women's Rights Protection Association, the United Nations Children's Rights Protection Association, these organizations also know that it is not feasible and refuse to push it, then we can give a more moderate suggestion, for example, you come forward to write one or more books on the litigation procedures in African countries with some legal scholars, judges, and lawyers, which is not too cumbersome and complicated, but more easy to understand, for example, a woman is abused by domestic violence, she just needs to be literate or find someone to read the content of your book to her, she knows how to use the law to solve the difficulties she encounters in that country, this kind of book is not for sale, but distributed for free, it takes a lot of energy, because you need to unite those like-minded scholars, study the legal provisions of those countries, translate, and then express those terms in clearer and more straightforward words, and you also need to raise funds for this project, of course, as your boyfriend, I will be the first to donate to this, and I will also help in any way I can. Tommy seemed to know that Otilia would not be able to make the first suggestion, so he immediately said what he really thought.

Otilia, an American social activist who graduated from law school and has been doing public welfare in Africa for many years, issued a report to the United Nations Women's Protection Association, and then took the lead in fundraising in the name of the United Nations, and then used the raised funds to find some well-known jurists, judges, and lawyers to cooperate in writing popular law books on the litigation procedures in African countries, and distributed them free of charge in those countries, so that women and children in those countries no longer think that the law is too far away from them.

"What do you think of it? Do I understand you, or does that bastard Jim understand you better? Tommy asked Otilia with a smile.

Otilia looked at Tommy fixedly, and only after half a sound did he put his arms around Tommy and gently rested his head on Tommy's chest: "Tommy, your mother must be a real angel, that's why she taught you to be what you are now, how can you be so kind, so gentle but unwavering to confront the suffering of this world, and try to change it?" ”

This is the Tommy she knows, he has never changed, in high school, he took a group of children to help the country of St. Vincent, and got back their funds for that country, and in college, he took his classmates to break the shackles of expensive technology for many poor Americans, so that the poor who worked hard also had the opportunity to change their fate.

Now, looking at himself with a smile on his face, he gently but forcefully told himself that he wanted to change the tragic fate of women and children in that far-flung continent of Africa, so that they would no longer be sold as commodities by their families.

"Perhaps, there is no suffering in this world, and it has always been beautiful." Tommy smiled and said, "So, you think my proposal is good?" ”

"Of course, of course." Otilia said seriously.

Tommy knew that it was impossible for Otilia to refuse her offer, she was a kind woman, and she had seen many problems encountered by women and children in those countries in Africa, to repair toilets, deliver water, donate medicines, etc., Otilia could go, and others could too, but Otilia was a law major, and if there was an opportunity for her to use her profession to help more people, she would not refuse, because doing so would make her feel more fulfilling.

And Tommy doesn't care if he is regarded as an angel, and he doesn't care how miserable life in Africa is, he just helped his chosen wife make a life plan as early as when he pursued Otilia's success.

First of all, through KeyBank, she has engaged in many public welfare projects overseas, dealt with many United Nations organizations, gained popularity and some awards, and obtained the status of an international social activist, and now, this step has been completed, not surprisingly, if history has not changed, when Bill is elected, she will receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her contributions to the international community activist over the years.

And then, what Tommy said to her at this moment, from a social activist to a legal expert, in the name of the United Nations, engaged in academic research in international law with other well-known jurists, promoted the process of legal development in some African countries, and with academic research, found a law school in the United States or a law school in other countries to teach, and at the same time served as a legal adviser to some women's organizations, and participated in some typical cases, it will take about a few years to do it, not surprisingly, relying on the experience of previous social activists and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Coupled with a variety of international awards, the Nobel Peace Prize is not out of the question.

In the end, in the later stages of Bill's presidential career, he got the presidential nomination, found a circuit court with a vacated position for judges to retire, and then began to slowly improve his qualifications, and waited in the circuit court for more than ten or twenty years, and if the Supreme Court appeared in the position, he would use Tommy's own TV media and Internet resources that he would definitely master in the future to make a deal with the president in office at that time, in exchange for the presidential nomination of Otilia and send her to the throne of the Supreme Court.

This is Tommy's life plan for Ortilia, he doesn't need Otilia to know her life path, he just needs Otilia to listen to him and do the right thing.
