Marlena silently took the chocolate and gently put it in her mouth to taste.

"I'd like to talk to you about Ottoby."

Marlena looked up and swallowed her food, waiting quietly.

"It was Otto who eavesdropped under the wall that night, and I wanted to talk to him that night, but unfortunately I had something else to do, so I left town overnight. When I came back, I heard that Ottobi had died, and I felt sorry for it. ”

"I believe you, Mr. Corleone."

"But Ottoby's death is also a dereliction of duty on my part as a security officer, since I took office, first the dentist and his wife were killed, and now Ottobi, it seems that it is really time to clean up the bandits in Sicily."

Marlena nodded.

"It's still early, I've asked Sivena to prepare dinner, what are we going to do for the rest of the time?"

Marlena blinked, looking at the chocolates on the table.

Before she knew it, she had already eaten four pieces, and she was also feeling a little full.

"We... How about listening to songs? ”

"Okay."

Russell turned around and sat down on the couch, and Marlena got up to play the music, and when the music started, she turned her head to see Russell staring at her.

Marlena glanced down at her clothes and ran into the room.

Not long after, she changed into a white dress, wrapped her legs in skin-colored stockings, walked out of the room with slippers, and came to the shoe rack again, choosing a pair of white strappy high heels.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Corleone, I didn't mean to be rude."

Russell slapped his face and said, "It's beautiful, Marlena." Of course you're not rude, there's no rudeness between us, you can treat me like family. ”

Marlena blinked, "Thank you, Mr. Corleone, for your generosity. ”

"I said you can treat me as family, don't be so polite."

“… Brother? ”

Russell was stunned, he was wondering if he was going to call Sister-in-law Marlena...

"Isn't it? What kind of family is that? Marlena asked, tilting her head.

"Of course, it's a family that you can rely on."

Marlena understood, she grabbed the corner of her clothes, and said a little nervously, "But I'm a widow. ”

"That's not your fault, Marlena."

Marlena shook her head, "No, Mr. Corleone, I don't deserve you." ”

Russell knew that she had a knot in her heart that had not been opened, so he changed the subject.

"Can you finish the dance we didn't finish?"

Marlena bit her lip and nodded, "Okay." ”

The two of them put their arms around their shoulders and danced to the tune.

Physical contact inevitably occurred during the process, and Marlena was not disgusted, but her earlobes were a little red.

When the music ends, the two stop.

Marlena looked up into Russell's eyes, wondering if it was a longing for many days, or if it was a mistake in which tendon.

Ignoring the reasoning, she said bluntly: "Mr. Corleone, can you kiss me?" ”

Russell raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Of course!" ”

He lowered his head slowly...

Come to an end.

Russell was still unsatisfied, but he didn't overdo it.

Marlena wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face to his chest.

"Mr. Corleone, I can't control my nightly thoughts about you, but I really don't deserve you. You are tall and handsome, and you work in the main house, and you are single and have never been married. And I'm married, older than you..."

"I don't care."

Marlena's eyes were red, and she said, "I know that you take care of me because of Casdia, I am very grateful to you, I like everything you have brought me, thank you." ”

"Marlena, I don't want to mention Cassia in front of you, because he did let me take care of you before he died. But when I saw you, I was attracted to your beauty, not because Casdia. ”

Listening to Russell's words, Marlena looked at him affectionately.

Suddenly.

The 'coo' sound rang out again.

Break up this warm atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Corleone..."

"It's getting late, it's time for us to go to dinner."

Marlena nodded slowly.

When the two of them reached the door, she suddenly patted her head.

"Yikes!"

Russell turned to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to make you coffee."

Russell smiled: "It's okay, there will be time in the future." ”

Marlena nodded.

I walked out of the yard and came to the car.

Mr. Russell opened the car door, and Marlena sat inside.

A moment later, they arrived at the sea view room.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Sivena stood at the door and greeted her with a smile.

"Welcome, Marlena."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Corleone, dinner is almost ready, shall we start now?"

"Is the wine sober?"

"Yes, I woke up half an hour ago."

"Let's have a meal."

"Okay."

When Marlena entered the house, she looked at the house curiously, and the furnishings inside were much more extravagant than her own.

Russell invited her to sit down and laid out a napkin for her.

It was already dark outside, and candles were lit inside the house.

After Celena's meal, she sensibly left.

"Marlena, I hope you like it."

"Of course, I love it, thank you for the dinner."

Russell got up and poured red wine and handed it to her, "Tonight is the most pleasant night I have ever returned to Sicily." ”

"Me too, Mr. Corleone."

At present, the two have not pierced the window paper and are in an ambiguous period.

Russell wasn't in a hurry anyway.

As the so-called life varies, all kinds of links have to be experienced.

It wouldn't be interesting if he and Marlena went straight to the final step.

The experience is the process, who has had an affair with Marlena sincerely? Who had a passionate relationship with her?

The end of dinner does not mean that life is over, and the extinguishing of the candle does not mean that life is over.

Of course, both he and Marlena experienced pleasure in dinner.

Just before curfew, Russell drove her home on foot.

On Marlena's doorstep.

She took Russell's hand and said, "Can I let Sivena send the cloth tomorrow?" I want to make you another suit. Please don't give me money, can you? ”

"Of course, Marlena, you are ingenious, and I really like the clothes you make."

Marlena nodded, "Thank you for the like." Then I'll go back. ”

"Okay."

She bit her lip and turned and walked into the courtyard, opened the door and walked inside, and when she turned to close the door, she saw Russell still standing outside waving goodbye to her.

Marlena also raised her hand and waved.

The moment she closed the door, her back rested against the panel.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, she covered her heart with her hand, touched her mouth again, and looked down at the palm of her hand again.

The palms of my hands are covered with sweat, and I think about it unconsciously.

You won't get Mr. Corleone's water, will you?

But she was really happy tonight.

From the heartbreak of Casdia's death, to meeting Mr. Corleone, to the current heartbeat, it makes Marlena feel like she is living in a dream.

Marlena suddenly figured it out.

She shouldn't be in the eyes of the unexpected world, and if Mr. Corleone is really willing to marry her, then Marlena is also willing from the bottom of her heart, even grateful!

Marlena walked to the window, lifted the gauze curtains, and saw Russell turn away.

At this moment, she made up her mind.

"I'm sorry, Casdia. You're right, Mr. Corleone is really a good man, and it's time for me to forget about you and pick up my life again. ”
