June, 1943.
New York seventy years ago was not drastically different from New York seventy years later.
There were already skyscrapers and cars here.
The biggest difference compared to New York seventy years later was that men in this city were extremely scarce.
When Aaron emerged here, he briefly thought he had arrived in a Kingdom of Women.
Most of the passersby were women, and the occasional men walking by were either young boys or elderly men over forty or fifty.
When Aaron walked onto the street, these foreign women all looked at him with strange eyes.
Aaron was handsome and tall, and even his clothing was so... trendy.
Aaron's attire, for New York at this time, wasn't overly jarring, instead giving people a refreshing feeling.
Of course, the main reason was that Aaron was handsome enough.
"Hello handsome, do you need help?"
A beautifully dressed blonde woman mustered up the courage to walk over.
As she approached Aaron, her eyes grew brighter.
He smelled so good.
'I'm sorry Jack, perhaps I'm going to betray you.'
Aaron glanced at the woman, sensing other "aura" on her, and his gaze lingered on her belly, then he put on a professional smile.
"No need, the person I'm waiting for has already arrived."
Aaron politely declined and then walked in a certain direction.
Let someone else deal with the joy of becoming an instant father.
The woman covered her mouth. "Oh my goodness, he looks so handsome even when rejecting me."
Aaron then approached a woman with long, wavy hair.
"Peggy Carter?"
"Hello, sir, do I know you?"
Peggy Carter looked at the overly handsome man next to her, a little confused, and also somewhat wary.
Although she didn't dislike Aaron, she had recently joined a highly classified mission and subconsciously rejected all strangers.
"My name is Aaron. You didn't know me before, but you do now." Aaron smiled slightly.
This time travel was actually a small experiment.
At the beginning, he hadn't intended to change anything.
The time point he was in just so happened to be on the eve of Steve's successful enlistment.
According to the timeline's development, tonight, Steve would be noticed by Dr. Abraham, join the super-soldier selection team, and then meet Peggy.
However, with his arrival, all of this would change.
"Aaron?"
Peggy murmured the name, noticing the envious and jealous gazes of the women around her, and a hint of secret delight arose in her heart.
Aaron sought her out instead of flirting with other women. Didn't that prove she was the most charming?
Just as she thought this, another thought appeared in her mind.
Peggy, you must hold firm. You are a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, an excellent female warrior.
Beware of honey traps, beware of sugar-coated bullets.
However, these thoughts had just appeared when Peggy's peripheral vision caught Aaron, and she instantly suppressed them.
How could such a handsome man be a spy?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Peggy put the documents in her hand behind her back, her red lips slightly parting. "Mr. Aaron, is your way of flirting always so direct?"
Aaron sat down casually. "Sometimes being direct is more effective, isn't it?"
If any other man had said that, Peggy would have just walked away with a cold face. But a handsome man is different. Handsome men always come with a debuff to intelligence and a halo of humor.
The more handsome they are, the more likely women are to lose their rationality and find them humorous. Even just a smile can lead them to imagine if the other party is interested in them.
Even Peggy was no exception.
Smelling the exotic fragrance wafting from Aaron, her rationality gradually departed.
Peggy just wanted to sit there forever. However, her remaining rationality brought her back to her senses.
"Mr. Aaron, I'm very curious how you know my name. Can you tell me?"
Peggy was very curious. His familiar manner made her wonder if she had ever worked with him before.
Aaron said without hesitation, "Would you believe me if I said I knew it from a dream?"
His experiences before transmigration sometimes truly felt like a dream to Aaron. And seeing Peggy in a dream was perfectly normal.
Peggy was stunned. Looking at Aaron's serious face, she actually believed him.
She asked, "Are you going to tell me that the Dream God also told you to find me today?"
Aaron shook his head. "Of course not. Our meeting was a complete coincidence. If it had been even 237 microseconds later, we would have passed each other by."
Peggy didn't understand, but she automatically read deeper meaning into his words.
Could it be that Aaron was about to leave just now, but happened to spot her in the vast crowd?
Peggy nodded.
If that were the case, it was indeed a great coincidence.
Peggy said, "New York now has about three and a half million women. For you and me to meet, perhaps it truly is fate?"
Aaron was a little surprised. He was still waiting for her to ask for details, but she just accepted it?
Was Peggy's acceptance so strong even seventy years ago?
Aaron realized his passive ability was overly overpowered.
What is a Casanova? This is it.
However, Peggy was only twenty-two years old now. Compared to the later Peggy, she was obviously much more naive, so this situation was quite normal.
But the scale was by no means small.
Aaron glanced at it, it was very rich.
The child wouldn't have to worry about food. He wouldn't have to worry either.
Peggy was still lost in thought and hadn't noticed anything unusual.
As she thought, Peggy suddenly felt a little melancholic.
Aaron instantly noticed her abnormality. "What's wrong?"
Peggy changed the subject, "Mr. Aaron, perhaps you will become the only eligible man left in New York. I think you'll really like it here."
New York, with over three million women, was definitely a paradise for men with capital.
While men on the front lines were struggling, men in the big city were indulging.
Someone like Aaron would surely thrive here.
Aaron's lips curled into a smile as he scanned Peggy's inner thoughts.
He discovered that she had already imagined what their child would look like and what their name would be.
However, thinking of the more than three million competitors, even Peggy didn't feel confident of ultimate victory.
Her job required extreme privacy and high confidentiality and she didn't have much free time.
How could she pursue Aaron?
And how could she keep Aaron?
Little girl, you're overthinking this a bit.
