I was the Founding Father of the United States

Chapter 19 The Allure of the Perfect Human

"...Dear Benjamin!"

Chen Wenbin called out Franklin's name and shook his head, saying, "...I will go to England with you at the right time, but not now. Besides, London has not yet imposed large-scale unfair taxes on the North American colonies, and the people have not yet felt the pain, so there is no need to rush."

Franklin thought for a moment upon hearing this, and had to admit, "Your mind is still so sharp. That's right, the war has just been won, and the people of North America are still in a state of pride and arrogance... But those unfair taxes will come soon! Soon!"

This was all destined, because North America had no say in London's Parliament!

Chen Wenbin nodded slightly and was about to speak when there was a gentle knock on the office door. Diana Spencer walked in, her face lightly made up, wearing an elaborate white silk lady's dress. The skirt was supported by a petticoat, highlighting her slender waist, making her a striking sight.

Her gaze swept over Franklin, the bald, fat man, and landed directly on the handsome, tall man in a white shirt and gray woolen vest, exuding an indescribable charm. She smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, have you finished talking? Time's up. His Excellency the Governor would like to say a few words to the citizens."

After saying that, she came to Chen Wenbin, her eyes fixed on the man who made her heart tremble, and said softly, "Robin, I think you need a suitable female companion."

Faced with the beautiful woman's invitation, Chen Wenbin naturally wouldn't refuse. He frankly said, "Diane, I don't think any man would refuse you."

Upon hearing this answer, Diana's eyes lit up with delight, and she naturally took Chen Wenbin's left arm, completely ignoring the great scientist Franklin standing to the side.

Two weeks ago, after treatment with allicin, Diana quickly recovered her health, during which time Chen Wenbin also learned of her identity.

She was not only the niece of Governor Stephen Hopkins's deceased wife, but also a member of a collateral branch of the British Lord Spencer... that is, a noblewoman without a noble title.

The reason she came to North America was ostensibly to visit the graves of Governor Hopkins' wife and two sons, but in reality, it was to arrange a marriage with the son of Sir Francis Bernard, the governor of the Massachusetts colony. If nothing unexpected happened, they would return to England to get engaged, thus forming a marriage alliance between the two families.

Of course, an unexpected event occurred: the governor's youngest son broke his neck while hunting while Diana was still on the ship. Since the governor had no other unmarried sons, the marriage had to be called off.

Diana, having finally made it to the New World, didn't want to return to England immediately, so she took a boat trip near Providence—unfortunately, she fell into the water and contracted whooping cough. It's fair to say they were both quite unlucky.

If Chen Wenbin hadn't appeared, this girl would most likely have died.

Perhaps it was because Chen Wenbin saved her life, or perhaps it was because of Chen Wenbin's irresistible charm, but ever since she recovered, this young woman has visited Robin's Pharmacy almost every day with her maid Betty, claiming to be curious about medical knowledge, but her true intentions are all too obvious.

Governor Hopkins seemed pleased with this, not only giving Chen Wenbin the villa at 76 White Street as a reward, but also buying the adjacent house for Diana, making them neighbors.

Even Reverend Jason privately advised Chen Wenbin that if Miss Diana Spencer were willing, she would be the most noble wife Chen Wenbin could marry at present.

Although Diana did not have a noble title, she was not an illegitimate child. Her grandfather was the previous Baron Spencer, and one of the Spencer's branches had inherited the title of Duke of Marlborough thirty years earlier, making them top-tier nobles in Britain.

Her only drawback was that she came from a collateral branch of the family and had no noble title. She could only be used as a tool for marriage alliances with colonial tycoons. For Chen Wenbin, a newly emerging colonial elite, marrying her was indeed a bit of a step up.

Chen Wenbin wasn't opposed to a marriage alliance, especially since Diana was indeed quite pretty, not at all unruly, and seemed to have already fallen in love with him... He was quite pleased with himself for this.

As his time travel continued, his physical changes became increasingly perfect. In the past month, he ate well and slept soundly, and his height increased by several centimeters, reaching six feet two inches, which is almost 1.9 meters. Moreover, there is no sign that he will continue to grow taller.

He even suspected that his aging process had slowed down or even stopped; at least he felt that his energy and mind had returned to their peak state when he was eighteen.

Besides his appearance and energy, his thinking and mind also continued to improve. After getting enough sleep every day, his improvement speed became even more obvious. He could even enter a state of extreme focus that Chen Wenbin called "overclocking" in a short period of time.

This ability to overclock is fully demonstrated in the design of hydraulic spinning machines and chemical experiments. Often, as soon as he gets started on a task, he can combine modern knowledge and theoretical foundations to come up with the best solution.

The finalized version of the Jenna spinning machine is much more mature than the original, with improved efficiency and spinning quality. However, due to limitations in processing precision and materials, it is still inferior to the steam spinning machine.

Chen Wenbin speculated that the enhancement of his body and mind was due to his body's adaptation to environmental changes or the effect of some unknown mechanism. Although he couldn't figure out the specific reason, it was definitely not a bad thing.

At least from Diana's affectionate gaze, one can see the powerful attraction of perfect genes to the opposite sex... Not just Diana, now, whenever he appears, he can attract the attention of almost every woman!

This is not only due to his handsome face and deep eyes, but also to his powerful masculine charm from the genetic level. He felt that if he traveled back in time to become a star, he would definitely become the dream lover of women all over the world!

If he had a personal attribute panel, the value in the Charm section would definitely be close to the human limit.

"...Ah! How enviable! Robin, it seems you'll soon have a beautiful and noble wife!"

Seeing Diana affectionately linking arms with Chen Wenbin, the bald, fat man standing nearby couldn't help but say sourly, "But listen, as someone who's been there, I have a piece of advice for you!"

Marriage isn't as sweet as you imagine. When the passion fades, many previously overlooked flaws become magnified. Handsome looks and beauty can't cover up all the conflicts. Many couples who have been married for years are simply tolerating each other. The essence of marriage is tolerance and sacrifice...

Chen Wenbin's lips twitched slightly as he listened. He had already discovered that, setting aside the scientist's aura, this fat man was nothing more than a nasty, arrogant, and conceited fellow. However, he was very skilled at rhetoric; he could make even harsh and selfish words sound pleasant and believable.

There's no need to be polite to this kind of jerk; just give him a piece of your mind. Anyway, Chen Wenbin had argued with him several times before when this guy questioned the details of the experiment. Every time he lost the argument, this guy would act like nothing happened and continue to nitpick. He's incredibly shameless.

Before he could speak, Diana interjected, "Dear Mr. Franklin! I don't know what misfortunes you've encountered in your marriage, but Robin and I are rational and honest people; we don't need your advice on our failures!"

The seasoned veteran, of course, wouldn't be swayed by a young girl's words. He shrugged, "...Alright! Beautiful lady, forgive my unsolicited advice! Best wishes to you both!"

After saying that, he winked at Chen Wenbin... that smug look made Chen Wenbin roll his eyes.
