Chapter 205 The Fourth Child

It was June, after Paladin Media's successful IPO.

Milo's busy life finally came to an end.

Although the acquisition battle between Connor Petroleum and Phillips Energy has not yet come to a conclusion.

But at least Milo doesn't have to stay in New York every day to deal with so many people and things.

What's more, Rockefeller, Morgan and Mellon have all relented now.

In fact, the acquisitions between these two energy giants are no longer as confrontational as before.

This is reflected in the war of public opinion, which was reflected in the reports from various news media which were very popular last month.

It has rarely appeared in newspapers until now.

All parties are trying their best to calm down, and all that's left now is a decent ending.

Milo also took the opportunity to give himself a short vacation.

He left New York where he had stayed for more than two months and returned to his favorite California.

One is that Haley is about to give birth.

Another reason was that he missed his two little babies a little.

Although both the babies' mother and Monica, who was always with them, expressed doubts.

But he did have a lot of fun playing with his daughters.

Inside the garden of a villa in San Francisco.

The sun was shining and the temperature was just right.

The little ones, who are a little over four months old, already weigh about 15 pounds.

It's very chubby and cute, and quite restless.

He moves his hands and feet and blows bubbles all day long. His big eyes are always wide open and turning around. When he is happy, he will keep calling "Yi Yi" ("Ah Yi").

After coming here, Milo often put them in the cloth bag on his chest.

One on the left and one on the right.

Then go play, Sophie was very worried at first.

But as time went by, and Milo was sometimes even more careful than her, she had no choice but to accept it.

Besides, when he puts his daughters in the cloth bag on his chest, the image of him as a nanny is quite interesting.

Milo himself had not considered the issue of image.

"So what if they are my nanny? Lily and Rose are my daughters."

He said it with great confidence, and asked his daughters who were looking up at him in his arms:

"You guys agree, right, Lily and Rose?"

The little ones were stunned for a while, then followed Lily in dancing and shouting, looking very happy.

Compared to Lily, Rose is quieter.

But she would also smile and blow bubbles when looking at her dad, which is so cute.

"You see, they agree with me."

Milo said this proudly, and Sophie could only roll her eyes.

It may be because I am pregnant too.

Monica also became very fond of children, although she planned to continue working with Milo.

Even if the belly gets bigger.

Until the birth of the child.

Now seeing how cute Lily and Rose were, Monica couldn't help but play with them.

"Be careful... they're cute, aren't they?"

After handing the less active Rose to Monica's arms.

Milo said lovingly, his attention completely on his daughters, looking like a loving father.

Monica looked at him in surprise, then turned her gaze to the child in her arms. Rose, who was not at all shy, was looking at her curiously.

"Yeah, it's cute." Monica's mouth corners suddenly curved up.

The thought of having a treasure like this soon makes me happy.

She was even happier.

Monica in particular could see that Milo really loved his two daughters from the bottom of his heart.

In this way, she had greater confidence that Milo would value her child.

After meeting her daughters, Monica soon became a frequent visitor to Sophie's home.

Of course, she either came with Milo or came to see Milo on business.

So Sophie felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw her teasing her daughter.

This feeling became stronger, but she still acknowledged the other person's existence.

In fact, Sophie had thought about how to get Monica to come over less often.

Especially after knowing that Monica was also pregnant with Milo's child.

She hinted at it and also used words to pressure him.

But it's no use.

Maybe it's because she has been with Milo for a long time, Monica now has a strong aura.

Among all the women Milo has, perhaps only his sister-in-law and Ariana can make Monica feel afraid.

Sophie? Anyway, Monica is not afraid of her.

Although Milo loves his daughters very much, he can run around with the little ones hanging on his chest without any care.

He doesn't mind his image as a nanny, a good father and a good husband at all.

But it doesn't mean that some things will change. If he doesn't have affairs, he wouldn't belong to Milo.

What's more, what is in front of you is a long-awaited and beautiful rose that comes at the right time.

"Of course, this is consistent with the philosophy we have always believed in, isn't it? Freedom is the most precious wealth of mankind, and someone must insist on it no matter what the circumstances."

In the corner of the hall where the cocktail party was held, Milo stood among several men and talked.

Although as an American Celestial Dragon and a superior, he is well aware of the hypocrisy.

But in this world, there are always some self-righteous idealists, like the ones in front of us.

Cornel West, a famous black scholar and writer in the United States, graduated from Harvard University and received a Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University. He has taught at Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University and Union Theological Seminary.

Off topic——

This is Milo's nominal teacher. Milo has not been to school every year, but he has always gotten full credits.

The person who signed the transcript was Cornel West, a professor at Harvard Divinity School.

The two met this time because Cornel West agreed to participate in the script "The Matrix" that Universal Pictures bought from the Wachowski sisters.

This is what Milo asked Universal Pictures to buy.

The film is scheduled to start shooting at the end of this year, and Cornel West is one of the screenwriters and consultants invited by the crew.

After all, the movie involves a lot of theology, sociology, and philosophy.

Ask an expert in this field to check it out, and the key is that this person is actually Milo's teacher.

This is very necessary.

At this banquet, Milo happened to meet this "teacher" and they started chatting.

After some words.

Milo discovered that Cornell's political views and social attributes were definitely left-wing and SHZY in the United States.

They were just talking about this topic.

“…”

"This sounds like a good idea, maybe we can give it a try." Milo said noncommittally. He had been looking around the hall with his peripheral vision and finally caught something.

"Sorry, I have to leave you for a moment." After greeting with a smile, he quickly walked around the crowd and went out.

on the other hand.

Coming to the garden, away from the bustling crowd, the cold wind blows towards me.

Charlize Theron suddenly became much more sober, but at the same time she couldn't help rubbing her arms.

She was wearing a sleeveless beige evening gown tonight, and the temperature difference between day and night in Los Angeles was a bit big.

It rained this evening and it was a bit heavy, although it has stopped now.

The air was still a little humid, and it felt a bit cold when the wind blew.

It made her want to go back.

After all, she had just recovered from a cold and hasn't fully recovered yet.

But turning around to look at the brightly lit villa, Charlize sighed and continued strolling into the garden. It was just a walk around anyway.

The weather in Los Angeles is always good, so even though it’s urbanized, you can’t see the starry sky.

But as long as there are not too many clouds, the bright moon is still very obvious.

It is also quite interesting to stroll in the garden under the moonlight.

However, the result of the quietness around me is that I can't help but have random thoughts in my head.

Charlize is South African and is not yet twenty-two years old.

She came to the United States with her mother at the age of 16. She originally wanted to be a ballet dancer and was admitted to a ballet school in New York.

But he eventually gave up due to a knee injury.

He came to Los Angeles at the age of 18 and began to enter Hollywood with the support of his mother.

Two years ago, Charlize Theron starred in her first film, "Children of the Corn 3", in which she played a small role.

Because of this small role, she was spotted by the Paladin agency which had just been established at that time.

The agency contract was sold to Paladin in turn.

She was a little skeptical at the time because Paladin had not yet risen.

But at that time, she herself was just a minor character.

No right to choose.

Last year, the company arranged for her to shoot the black comedy "Two Days in the Valley".

After the film was released, Charlize became famous overnight.

And by then the Paladin had also risen.

This year, Paladin Media successfully went public not long ago.

Charlize therefore gave up the idea of ​​changing jobs completely and decided to focus on her development here.

Tonight, she was brought by her agent to attend the celebration reception for the establishment of the crew of "The Matrix".

Because she has the hope of becoming the heroine of "The Matrix" as long as she can pass the audition.

At the party, she and her agent made the exciting discovery.

Unexpectedly, big boss Milo Blackburn also showed up!

It is said that the reason was the script of the film, which big boss Milo Blackburn liked very much.

He personally requested to buy it, so that's why it appeared.

Charlize was so excited that she almost thought she was in a dream.

The big boss actually chatted with her for a few words.

After knowing his name, he expressed optimism about his development in Hollywood.

Given the boss's reputation in certain areas, Charlize was almost about to take off her clothes to show her love.

Unfortunately, the scene was not suitable, and after a few words, the boss kept chatting with other people.

Never paid any attention to her again.

This made Charlize Theron, who was extremely excited and thought that she was favored by the big boss, feel like a bucket of cold water was poured on her face.

The feeling that the opportunity for success that is so close to you may suddenly slip away from you.

It's really uncomfortable.

Charlize couldn't help but go out to relax.

Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly, and her slightly melancholy look made her smile particularly touching.

"Huh? You're here. Miss Theron, are you here to relax as well?"

A voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of teasing, which scared Charlize.

"Mr. Blackburn?" Charlize looked at him with some surprise, "You scared me!"

"Sorry, I was originally over there. I saw you were here alone, so I came to check it out."

Milo then showed an apologetic expression, took off his coat and put it on her, "You come out wearing so little, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you." Charlize did not refuse. She looked at him excitedly, and then a blush flashed across her face.

Charlize felt that his gaze had changed from the indifferent one when he was in the house.

He was looking at himself now, as if he were going to strip himself of his clothes in the next moment.

So, was he deliberately not chatting with me in the room?

"Do you feel a little bored by the people in the hall?" Milo asked casually.

"No, I just wanted to get out and relax," Charlize said, taking deep breaths to calm herself down. "I was about to go in."

"Oh? What about now?"

Now, now I won’t go in if you don’t go in! I can be alone with the big boss, and Milo’s eyes are so direct.

Charlize would not be stupid enough to give up such an opportunity!

Just when she didn't know how to start, she suddenly heard the boss say, "Charlize, your lipstick looks delicious, can I try it?"

Charlize was stunned, wondering how to try the lipstick.

Besides, you are a man, why are you trying lipstick? While she was hesitating, Milo had already lowered his head to block her lips and pried open her teeth without any hesitation.

This directness made Charlize a little stunned.

But she reacted quickly and started moving as well.

The two of them tasted the lipstick together passionately, and Milo's hands began to move on each other's body.

But just as Milo's hand began to grab Charlize's skirt, she suddenly pushed him away, blushing and panting, saying, "Ah, Mr. Blackburn, don't do this, this is a garden..."

Before he could finish his words, he turned around and staggered, almost falling to the side, as if he had pushed too hard.

Milo quickly hugged her, but she fell at a very tricky angle.

Although Milo hugged her, he also lost his balance. The two of them fell to the ground and rolled several times before they stopped.

"Are you okay?"

After stopping, Milo immediately moved around Charlize who was pressing him.

Fortunately, although there were shrubs in this area, there were no hard objects and the ground was covered with grass, so neither of them was injured.

The lawn was a little wet, probably because of the heavy rain in the evening.

"I...I'm fine..." Charlize said with a blushing face.

She felt that she had been a little too obvious just now, and that she had fallen too deliberately.

Especially when she was looked at with such a teasing look in his eyes, Charlize couldn't help but blushing with guilt.

The more she did this, the more playful Milo's eyes became...

Under the moonlight, Charlize's face was so red that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it.

The two of them just maintained their current posture without moving.

However, suddenly, the voices of a man and a woman were heard nearby.

"My dear, you are so charming tonight."

"Oh, you've said that a dozen times."

"I'm just stating a fact, dear."

"You're just a smooth talker, John."

This man and woman were obviously flirting.

Then the sound of kissing was heard.

It sounded like it was nearby, and the two people on the ground looked at each other.

"Don't you think this is interesting, Merry?"

"What do you want to say, John? Why don't you just say it?"

"I mean, why not try it out there?"

"Oh, you little rascal, I knew you would say that. Aren't you worried about being discovered? I seemed to see someone over here just now."

"Your eyes are blurry. There's no one outside. I promise you'll enjoy it. You like excitement, don't you?"

As the two laughed, their clothes were taken off and spread on the ground.

It sounded like there were only bushes between him and Minogue and Charlize.

Then giggles, kisses, caresses, and noises rang out one by one, and finally, of course, the great harmonious sound of life.

Probably because I feel this place is far from the villa.

This couple was extremely happy and indulgent.

The shouts became more and more obscene.

They had no idea that there were other people nearby.

Charlize's face was red all the way to her ears, and she heard everything they did.

The excitement of eavesdropping made her feel at a loss for a moment.

Not only did my breathing become much more rapid, but my body also began to feel slightly hot.

"That's great, that's intense, maybe..."

Milo smelled Charlize's perfume and femininity.

"Shall we give it a try too?"

Charlize's face flushed and she had no intention of refusing.

She whimpered a few times, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

Milo took this as her agreement.

The result is...

Milo is sick with a cold.

Although I didn't have a runny nose or sneezing, I still had a fever and was weak. I had to lie in bed for several days before I recovered.

This is a very normal thing. Who doesn’t get sick?

Not to mention a minor illness like a cold.

But for those who know him well, this is simply incredible.

In these years, has there ever been a day when Milo was not full of energy?

He has never been sick and is as strong as a bear.

How can it not be surprising that such a person is now lying in bed because of a cold? Basically, except for women who really need to be left alone.

For example, Blanchett and Julie Delpy who went back to New Zealand to film, or Nicole Kidman who went to the Caribbean to film "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The others came to see him.

Including the eldest sister-in-law who was pregnant and about to give birth, but Milo did not let her come.

What if it gets infected?

Among them, Sophie was the most gloating.

"Lily and Rose are completely mine now!"

She said this proudly, not looking like a mother at all, but more like a big child who finally got his favorite toy.

Of course, she didn't bring her daughter with her.

It would be a terrible thing if I got infected by him.

Thanks to Monica's arrangement, the women did not meet and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

But Milo always gave them a strong feeling, and he always held them in his hands calmly while chatting and laughing.

Now he suddenly looks like this, leaning listlessly on the bed as if unable to do anything. It is really very fresh.

Milo was somewhat vague about the cause of his illness, and the women did not ask in detail.

Anyway, a minor illness like a cold can be caught if you are not careful.

So only the two parties involved know the real reason.

Oh, and the other party is sick too.

To blame it, it happened to be raining in Los Angeles and the grass looked dry.

But when operating it, it is still wet.

The movements were intense and they sweated a lot, so in the end everyone got sick.

However, he found that occasional wild sex could be very exciting.

I'll try it again when I have the chance.

Then, June 15th.

When he was almost recovered, Ariana finally came to see him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Why didn't you tell me!" The Rockefeller daughter complained to Milo. She was the last one to know.

"It's not a serious illness, just a cold."

Milo smiled and shrugged, holding her shoulders as they walked in the garden.

In fact, he was almost fully recovered on the third day.

The reason why I haven't gone out to work is simply because I'm looking for an excuse to go on vacation and don't want to move.

"Well, but you still have to take care of your body." The girl said in a soft voice.

Just as Milo and she walked to the pavilion in the garden.

When he was about to hug her and be intimate with her, David walked in with a rather rude look.

"What's wrong?"

There must be something wrong, otherwise David would not disturb himself at this time.

So Milo asked.

David looked at the future boss lady in the boss's arms, and when Milo nodded, he whispered, "Mrs. Haley's water broke, and she is being taken to the hospital now."

"Ah, isn't the due date still a week away?"

"Yes." Milo stood up holding Ariana, "The doctor said that the due date is not 100% accurate. It may be half a month earlier or later!"

Ariana was confused. She looked up at Milo. "The water broke? Who's going to have a baby?"

"Yes." Milo took her hand and walked towards the main house. "My sister-in-law, my brother's wife. She is pregnant and was due in a week. But now it seems that she will give birth early."

Ariana, who didn't know about this yet, was a little confused.

She remembered that Milo's brother had been dead for more than two years.

How come his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a child? Did she remarry?

No, that's not right.

If she remarried, Milo wouldn't care so much if she had a child.

So what was going on? Ariana couldn't help but look at Milo.

Milo was not worried at all.

Because his mother and family had already prepared everything.

"It's my brother's child, using Houston's latest frozen rice technology..."

Milo led her out, whispering softly.

No, it was explained softly.

So when the two of them rushed to San Francisco from Los Angeles.

I saw a baby boy with blonde hair like Milo being carried out from outside the delivery room.

Ariana couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".

She looked at the child with curiosity and delight.

"The eyebrows and nose are a little bit like yours! But they are bright red... I heard that all newborn babies are like this, um... such beautiful Lily and Rose, were they also like this when they were just born?"

Milo felt a little guilty and whispered, "He actually looks like Paladin. But I look a lot like my brother, so it's normal for his children to look a bit like me. As for Lily and the others, all their children look like this when they are born."

His words made Peggy Audrey Adams next to him want to roll her eyes.

She thought, that's obviously your child!

What does it have to do with Paladin? Of course he will look like you!

But soon, Paige had no time to roll her eyes.

Ariana approached her and smiled, "Hello, Miss Adams. I'm Ariana Rockefeller, Milo's fiancée. I've heard of you."

Paige suddenly felt bad.

She felt that this Rockefeller bitch, who was younger than her, was playing tricks on her! Because she was originally Milo's fiancée!

"You guys chat and watch the kids. I'll go in and see Haley."

Milo went straight in and went inside to visit Haley who was resting after giving birth.

Leaving behind were the children who were about to be sent away for sorting, and Paige and Ariana who were staring at each other and felt something was wrong.

In the ward.

Haley, who was a little weak, was a little happy to see him come in.

But she knew that this guy's real future wife was also outside at this time.

Haley's expression immediately darkened.

Milo came up to her and looked back at the closed door behind him.

There was a female nurse and a female doctor in the ward.

He leaned over, hugged Haley, who looked a little pale, and kissed her.

"Uh...no, Ariana is still outside..."

“Hmm…”

After more than a minute, her pale face looked a lot rosier.

Not as angry as before.

It was also after the two separated for more than ten seconds.

Paige and Ariana pushed the door open and came in together.

Then Ariana came up to Hailey very familiarly, and the latter smiled.

She also walked forward with a smile and held Milo's sister-in-law's hand. The two people who had never met before started to have a very friendly conversation.

After all, judging from their status, they are all Blackburn's daughters-in-law, so they should be friendly.

When the child is cleaned up, the backpack is returned to the mother in the swaddle.

"Milo, have you thought of a name for him? After all, you are his uncle and future godfather." Haley suddenly asked.

Ariana, who was surrounded by children, was a little surprised.

The girl thought that the child's name should be chosen by the child's father.

Even if the father has passed away, it should be the mother herself or the elders who take the throne.

But thinking about the fact that Milo is the child's uncle, and hearing from Haley that he will be the child's godfather in the future.

The name was given by my uncle and godfather, and this uncle is so powerful.

That's understandable.

Peggy next to her didn't think so.

Peggy felt that the two of them were not even acting anymore, and they were not afraid that the Rockefeller bitch would find out! "Oh, of course, what do you think of the name Joshua?" Milo replied.

He was well prepared.

As long as his children are his, he plans to name all girls after flowers.

For example, Lily and Rose.

Boys should use male names from the Bible.

Joshua is one of the male names that appears in the Bible.

Although it is the national leader of the Squidmen after Moses, many people in Britain and the United States use this name.

But Haley frowned after hearing this: "Joshua? I don't like this name."

"Don't like it?" Milo showed a surprised expression.

"It sounds a bit like Squidward. I don't want my child to be named that." Haley said seriously.

Milo didn't know what to say for a moment.

"So what name do you think is good?" Milo had no choice but to ask in return.

"I think..." Hailey tilted her head and thought about it, "I think the name Paladin is a good one."

"Paladin? Just use my brother's name?" Milo felt weird, but of course he didn't show it. He just asked in a tentative tone.

"Yes. His father is gone, so let him inherit his father's name." Haley took a deep breath, "Or do you have a better name?"

"Okay, then Paladin." Milo quickly followed her instructions, Ariana was still beside him, "If you think it's suitable, the name of the little guy will be decided."

Hearing him say this, Haley hesitated.

But he quickly kissed the wrinkled little face and said, "Just call me Paladin."

The name of Milo's fourth child was thus decided.

She stayed in the hospital for another two days and left only after making sure that both mother and child were completely healthy.

Before that, Ariana left the next day.

She really didn't dare to stay any longer.

You can stay any longer without having to wait for the engagement ceremony.

She might be eaten by Milo, and her family would be angry.

so……

June 20th.

Watching Milo skillfully change the diaper for little Paladin without even needing the help of the nanny or confinement nanny next to him.

Peggy, who came to Bay House to see the children and visit Haley, couldn't help but twinkle in her beautiful eyes.

Next to her was Haley, who started to get out of bed and walk with the help of the maid.

"His uncle loves him so much. Most of the time, little Paladin is held by his uncle."

Haley said softly to her little cousin.

Peggy thought to herself, I don’t even want to expose you, but you still do this in front of me…

Don’t I know whose child this is?

But on the surface, at least she really didn't dare let Milo and Haley know that she knew the truth.

Firstly, they are afraid of being exposed, which would be embarrassing for everyone.

Secondly,...

Peggy looked at Milo with complicated eyes as he held the child and swung the child skillfully twice, allowing the child to close his eyes and continue to sleep.

He is by no means a good man, but he seems to be a good father.

"The main reason is that little Paladin is very cute." Paige responded to Haley with a smile, "Everyone will like him, am I right, Mr. Blackburn?"

"Of course." Milo handed the child to the nanny waiting nearby, and then said, "I'll leave the child to you. I'm going to Silicon Valley."

"Yeah." Haley responded softly, just like a wife.

Milo nodded to Paige and then left the Bay House.

Arriving in Silicon Valley, Milo first went to ITY company.

ITY is a social platform prepared by Milo that is similar to China's future Penguin and WeChat.

It's just purer, without the messy branches and industries.

In terms of the Internet, he has always planned to use the ITY social platform as the main body.

A group company integrating news media, film and television entertainment, games, online sales, payment and investment.

Establish a completely closed internal circulation model and ultimately complete the transformation to rely on its own partner ecosystem.

Milo still has a long way to go to build a super media matrix based on the ITY social platform.

Paladin Media Group and Yahoo are two good information streaming media foundations.

In addition, ITY itself is a huge information streaming media, so he has the backbone of his business.

By acquiring and merging a large number of small and medium-sized technology companies that have technology but have not yet grown, it will not take much effort to complete a simple internal cycle.

Internet, media, electronic technology, energy...

Then we will build high walls, store up food, and wait for the first decade of the new century to pass.

Milo is looking forward to seeing what he will become by then.

But now, let’s focus on the development of ITY.

The first version of ITY is almost finished.

Originally it was built on the basis of ICQ which Milo acquired earlier.

With the help of Yahoo, the development was not difficult.

"Not bad, it basically meets my requirements."

At the headquarters of ITY company.

Looking at it on the computer, it looks a bit like the future QQ, and also a bit like WeChat.

ITY also integrates the functions of Moments and QQ Space.

Although it is not as smooth as later products, it has the general framework and functional foundation.

Milo nodded with satisfaction to the people around him, including Musk, Weisger, Vardy, and Goldfinger.

This made the latter all show happy expressions.

After all, not everyone in Silicon Valley can satisfy the Godfather of Silicon Valley! The next step is promotion.

With Yahoo, the Internet's largest traffic giant, in hand, it is not difficult to promote ITY.

What's more, there are already similar products on the market.

But they don't have nearly as many bells and whistles as ITY.

And compared to the technology brought by ITY's strong R&D capabilities.

Several other Internet communication software on the market are full of bugs.

They can easily get stuck and disconnected during use, but ITY doesn't say that this problem will never occur, but it rarely occurs.

As for the promotion issue, Milo certainly doesn't have to worry about it.

Otherwise, what use are Musk and his people?

What he really needs to worry about is the third-party payment problem that currently stands in the way of the entire Silicon Valley and even the entire Internet.

Third-party payment is a very troublesome thing in the United States. The more I understand it, the more I feel powerless to complain about it.

Even later, when the Internet in the United States was extremely developed and even mobile Internet had appeared.

The United States is still pretty terrible when it comes to third-party payments.

Therefore, in the future, whether it is Ali or Penguin's fast and convenient payment, they will be at the forefront of the world.

In the United States, credit card payment is the mainstream of society.

There is no problem with instant payment for third-party payments in the United States.

But if you want a refund, you have to wait a long time. Slow is the best word.

This is also the main obstacle to third-party payment. Credit cards are more convenient.

EBAY, which has been developed under Milo, is now facing this problem.

Even Yahoo is the same, because Yahoo now has many games, and often requires the use of third-party online payment.

It's not that it can't be used, it's just that it has a lot of bugs and is very difficult to use.

As for payment terminals like PayPal, Milo had already made them.

However, the problem of third-party payment still exists.

It would be the same even if Milo had his own bank, because his bank currently cannot fully cover the number of users.

He shook his head to drive this bad thing out of his mind, and the special glass of the car window slowly rose up, and said to David in the driver's seat: "Let's go."

David nodded, the Cadillac Escalade honked its horn lightly, and the Cadillac in front drove away from the curb, with David following closely behind.

He has a cocktail party to attend in San Francisco tonight.

The initiator was a senior member of the California Democratic Party, and Haley was originally on the invitation list.

She wanted to go too.

But didn't she just give birth, not even half a month? In Chinese terms, she hasn't even finished her confinement.

Although Americans do not observe confinement after childbirth, most ordinary American women will go back to work the next day even after giving birth.

But that's not because American women have superhuman physiques, it's simply because the capitalists are not human.

Can you believe that four years ago, the United States did not even have maternity leave? It was not until July 2, 1993, when the Family and Medical Leave Act was enacted, that American women had maternity leave.

However, unlike internationally, maternity leave in the United States is unpaid.

It's also easy to have your job replaced by someone else while you're on maternity leave - even this is legal in the United States.

Therefore, unless conditions permit or physical conditions do not allow it, American women have to take maternity leave.

Otherwise, haha, just be the American superwoman who goes to work the day after giving birth.

Still want to stay in confinement? Dream on!

Of course, Haley wouldn't even be able to take maternity leave.

She was focused on work, and her health had recovered well.

But Milo still pushed him back home to rest.

He is a relatively traditional person, and he won't let Haley go out to work until she has finished her confinement.

So Milo will represent Haley at the cocktail party tonight.

The Donkey Party in California is even happier about this.

After all, in their eyes, Haley was originally Milo's spokesperson.

Same with Brian over in Los Angeles.

Now that he, the big financial sponsor, is attending in person, they will only be happier.

In the evening, Milo's motorcade arrived in downtown San Francisco.

The car moved forward slowly, and Milo saw the venue of the cocktail party. The entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco was crowded with reporters on both sides.

Opposite the hotel's main entrance, there was a large group of men and women holding up various homemade signs.

Many people raised their arms and shouted urgently, protesting something across the street.

There were several police cars parked on the side of the road, and many pot-bellied, uniformed San Francisco police officers were scattered not far apart.

Milo had no interest in knowing what these people were objecting to.

There are really a lot of idle people in the United States, and it is very easy for protest crowds to gather.

Many people come here because they have nothing to do, and more come here to join in the fun with money.

The number of people who are truly in charge or who actually come to demonstrate is actually relatively small.

And it's not just the Donkey Party. When the Elephant Party holds a cocktail party, there will also be people outside fighting the epidemic.

This has become a common sight at public receptions held by both parties in the United States.

When approaching the hotel entrance, Milo still glanced at the held-up protest sign through the car window.

Well, it was a protest against the current California Governor, Pete Wilson.

He opposed restricting illegal immigration into California because he vetoed a bill to ban illegal immigration that had been passed by the state's Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

This is the theme, but the protest signs contain a wide variety of content.

They shouted loudly, as if their protest would really make these politicians compromise.

The car door opened, Milo got out and stood on the red carpet, turned around and reached out to hold Monica's little hand.

When the two stood on the red carpet and were recognized by reporters.

The whole place was suddenly filled with white light and shouts came one after another, all wanting Milo to cooperate in taking a few photos.

How could Milo possibly pay attention to them? The slightly nervous Monica held his arm tightly and walked slowly towards the hotel door, with no intention of stopping at all.
