Chapter 17: Departure

Henry was looking for something to eat in his room, but he hadn't eaten this afternoon, but unfortunately he only found two loaves of bread in his room, and he could only guarantee that he would not starve to death if he had money here.

There was no way, Henry could only take out a canned beef and vegetables from his backpack and stew them together in the kitchen.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Henry asked without replying. "I found out that you only have bread here, so I made some of my own, let's eat together, where is the bowl?"

"I'll take it"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'll take this out first"

Henry picked up the pot and was about to stagger past Marlena to get the bowl, but the narrow door frame allowed the two of them to stick together.

The two of them froze in place, and Marlena felt the reaction on Henry's body, and the hot heat burned to the tip of Marlena's heart.

"Let's go out first," Henry said in a low voice.

"Well... Okay" Marlena came to her senses and moved her body out in panic.

"Hiss~!" Marlena's movements completely shattered the last shred of Henry's sanity, which could withstand being stimulated like this.

Henry turned his things to the side of the table and looked up at Marlena, dressed in a familiar black nightdress.

Henry was silent and said nothing, but stepped forward and put his arm around Marlena, and lowered his head to her ear.

"I love your dress, but if you don't tell me where your room is, I'll ruin it here," Henry's gasping voice reached Marlena's ears with a hint of heat.

Marlena's heart trembled, and the presumptuous hand on her body showed the determination of the man opposite.

"Building... The first room upstairs was"

Henry squatted down slightly, put one hand around Marlena, and walked upstairs.

The battle began again from the beginning to the time when he ate to replenish his strength, and finally ended with Marlena's plea for mercy.

"Henry, why did you send me so much money?" Lying in Henry's arms, Marlena stroked the beautiful mermaid line, and looked up to Henry.

"That's a lot for you, not much for me. It started when I met a person at Pearl Harbor in July last year, and she was very similar to the person I had in my dream, so I tentatively sent an envelope according to the memory in my dream, that is, you."

"If you're in trouble like in my dreams, then this money will help you, and if you don't have you, $1,000 is nothing to me."

"At the end of last year, I came to the North African battlefield, and when I was done, I thought it would be better to come over and have a look, anyway, it's quite close, compared to the United States."

"I didn't think you would come here to find me specifically for me" Marlena stopped her movements, she couldn't believe that in this era, this distance is already far away.

"Because you are sexy and beautiful, I heard that all the men in this town want you, and more importantly, in my dreams, you don't end well"

"I don't know why this is happening," Marlena said helplessly.

"Because of the war, because of the clothes you designed, it brought out your elegance and seduction, this is your talent, but your talent should not appear in this closed town and in this turbulent era, and the women here cannot control the clothes you designed"

"So come with me to the United States, where to use your talents, where there are also beautiful women like you, who need the clothes you design, where you will be popular, appreciated, and adored, instead of being stuck here like you are now, and if you want to come back, you can wait until the war is over"

"Is the war really ending so soon?"

"Soon, because the United States is going to war, and I am the best example"

"Then let's go to my dad tomorrow and let's go together"

"Okay, if he doesn't want to go, it's the same to wait two or three years and come back to him, it's too close to the battlefield, and you don't have anything to eat here~"

Henry didn't think that the old man would leave, because of a letter, and listened to the stubborn old man, but no way, Italians are Chinese in Europe, they attach great importance to family, and often the family will live together.

"Yes, he doesn't want to go, come back to him when the war is over" Marlena was impressed by the food.

The next day, Marlena only packed her clothes and went with Henry to her father, and the results were predictable.

In the end, he had no choice but to give him a string of keys to the house and let him go and live there, at least without worrying about being killed by bombs.

Then Henry and Marlena leave the town under the watchful eye of all the men and women in the town.

There was a lot of talk in the towns, some saying she had gone to Naples, others saying she had gone to the United States, and when Marlena came back later, they would have to watch from afar as they did now.

It took another two days, returned to North Africa, and then waited in the base for a few days, and with a group of ships returning to the United States, Marlena went to the United States alone.

But Henry had already arranged everything, and it was enough for John to buy a luxury company.

I got another person who was familiar from my previous life.
