All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

However, in the end, Russell was expected to come.

The first few times I met Marlena, she was wearing a black robe, and she didn't express the importance she attached to Russell.Of course, that was also because Castile was sacrificed, so she had to act like a widow!

These days her husband's funeral is over, so she changes into the clothes she made herself.

"Mr. Corleone, your suit is ready and here it is."

Marina held the suit in front of him with both hands.

Russell glanced at it and said, "Should I change it?"

"If possible, of course! If there is something inappropriate, I have time to make changes."

He looked at Marlena, but after she put down her suit, she turned around.

"You change your clothes first, I...I'll do other things."

This suit was tailor-made for him by Malena, the size was just right and the style was very novel.

The neckline and cuffs are tied with black thread, and the place where the handkerchief is placed on the chest is specially sewn by Malena with thick golden thread. Russell likes this reverse design very much.

"Marlena? Take a look."

Marlena poked her head out of the room, saw Russell opened his mouth in surprise, and covered it with his hand.

"It fits well."

Marlena walked out slowly, leaned in front of him, and stretched out her hands to straighten his collar.

"Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No, the clothes are very good, and what I like the most is the design here."

Malena said: "You look really handsome in it, which makes this dress eye-catching."

"Thank you, it should be your dexterity."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.

Malena took two steps back and said courageously, "Mr. Corleone, can I treat you to dinner? You paid my salary and made my life better. I want to thank you."

Russell nodded with a smile: "Of course, tonight?"

"Yes, I... I prepared red wine, bacon, ham, sausage... I also made noodles and tomato sauce, I hope you like it."

It turned out that Malena had planned it long ago, no wonder she was dressed so exquisitely.

"it is good."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Malena's face.

"Then you take a break, I'll be back soon."

Marlena was very happy, she didn't expect that Russell would agree to her, because she heard from Sylvana that since Russell came to the town, he had never found a woman, including Ji Yuan and the comfort camp.

For such a clean and self-disciplined man, Malena knew that she was not worthy, so she felt that it was a luxury to invite Russell to dinner.

In fact, how can it be so complicated.

Women sometimes think more easily. If she is more straightforward, kind, and proactive, maybe Russell doesn't even want to eat dinner.

The sky was getting late, and the night came quietly.

It made Malena feel that time passed too fast.

She woke up the red wine, put the food on the table, and invited Russell to take a seat.

"Do you usually have the habit of smoking?"

Malena looked at the cigarettes and lighter next to the sewing machine, her face panicked.

"I...yeah, I order one when I'm in a bad mood. I won't..."

Russell said: "Smoking should pay attention to, no open flames in the work area, once it causes a fire, it will be a disaster."

Marlena was taken aback, she didn't expect that Russell not only didn't say anything about her, but instead told her to be safe.

"I will."

Russell took a pack of Sicilian menthols from his pocket and handed her one.

"Come on one?"

Malena's eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hands: "No, no... I've already quit."

Russell smiled and said, "It's good to quit, smoking is harmful to your health. Let's eat, Marina?"

"Okay, okay."

Russell was the protagonist today, and Marina got up to pour wine for him, cut meat and ham for him, and served him very attentively.

The two collided with wine glasses and took a sip of red wine.

"This wine is cheap and doesn't taste very good. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not, Marlena, don't think I'm picky. I even ate raw potatoes that were frozen into ice on the battlefield."

Marlena was a little curious about things on the battlefield, so she asked some questions.

Russell answered her truthfully, and finally chatted about Castile unavoidably.

Marlena and her husband have a good relationship, but her husband will never come back, and the longing makes Marlena's eyes full of tears.

This time, Russell was not indifferent.

Instead, he patted Malena's back lightly.

"Mr. Corleone, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be uncomfortable. When Castile and I had candlelight dinners, we would dance to the music..."

Russell heard the words and said: "If you want, I can dance with you."

Malena raised her head, wiped her eyes, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I...I would."

She got up to find some music, put down the slide pin on the record player, and "Ma L'amore No" rang out.

Marlena turned around and walked over, just in time to see Russell stand up, the two looked at each other, Marlena lowered her head, she raised her hand to let Russell put his hand on her waist.

And she put her hand on Russell's shoulder, and the remaining two hands were held together.

The two danced slowly to the music.

During this period, none of them spoke, but quietly reminisced about their feelings.

Marlena felt something strange, but she didn't make a sound, and Russell didn't feel embarrassed either. They were both adults and couldn't be more familiar with this kind of thing.

Not as exaggerated as in the movie, where the woman screams and the man feels sorry.

"Are you in a better mood?"

Russell asked.

Malena's face was only two centimeters away from his chest, and she could smell his body odor, a mixture of sweat and tobacco, which made Malena feel safe.

Chapter 14 Listening to the widow's wall?Tired of life

She inhaled unconsciously, as if the smell was more powerful than cigarettes, it relieved the fatigue of the whole day, and even her mood improved a lot.

I don't want to think about the attitude of the people in the town towards her anymore, and I don't want to think about Castile, because he is dead, and Marlena wants to continue living.

The living suffer far more than the dead.

"Yeah, it feels really good."

After Marina finished speaking, she put her face on his chest.

Russell paused, since she had expressed her opinion in this way.

Then he can't be too gentleman.

palms down slowly...

Marlena didn't make a move to struggle, she was willing.

Just a reminder, "Mr. Corleone, I am a widow."

"I know."

"I'm not good enough for you."

Russell frowned, looking down at her face.

"How could you have such an idea?"

Marina bit her lip lightly.

suddenly.

There was a 'dong' sound outside, similar to the muffled sound of something falling.

Russell hurriedly let go of Marlena, and ran out to have a look.

At the door, he saw a man with a Mediterranean haircut, running wildly with his legs, tripping over a stone, rolling twice on the ground, getting up again and continuing to run for his life.

"You're so tired of living!"

Russell recognized at a glance that this was lawyer Ottoby, but he did not expect him to be so courageous, daring to lie in the corner of Marlena's house to listen.

He went back into the house and picked up his coat.

"What's the matter? Is there anyone outside?"

Marina asked.

Russell said, "Don't worry, our dinner was ruined by a mouse, and I'll pay you when I get back from Tunisia, okay?"

Marina nodded.

"I'll go back first, Marina, let me just say one more thing, the outfit you are wearing today is very beautiful, I like it very much."

Malena responded in a low voice: "Thank you for your compliment."

"Especially this stocking, which makes the curve of your legs more obvious. Malena, when I come back to treat you to dinner, I hope you can wear a black pair, okay?"

Marina was blushed a little by Russell's blunt words, and she and her husband had never communicated so bluntly before.

"kindness…"

Seeing Malena nodding shyly, Russell left with a smile.

She looked out in the yard with some worry, and watched Russell's back disappearing little by little, before she turned and went back to the room.

Sitting on the sofa and thinking about it carefully, the moment when I hugged and danced with Russell just now, my face couldn't help getting hot.

A woman who has lost her husband and is hated by her father is helpless.

At this time, a man who saved her from the fire and water appeared, how could Marlena not think too much about it?

Fortunately, she heard the meaning of Russell's words when he left.

next time we meet...

"Mr. Corleone, I look forward to seeing you next time."

Marina got up and picked up the pastry brought by Russell, took out a piece, put it in her mouth and tasted it, it was sweet.

Even the broken heart gradually healed.

"What is that voice?"

Marlena came outside curiously and found a wallet under the tree.

Open it and check, there are lawyer Ottoby's business card and photo inside!

This frightened Marlena, she quickly put it away and went back to the house to hide it, waiting for Russell to give it to him next time.

As a woman, she couldn't handle this kind of thing, so she had to ask Russell for help.

Pier Tavern.

Russell pushed the door open and walked in.

Everyone inside turned their heads, and when they saw Mr. Corleone, they all stood up instantly.

"godfather!"

People shouted in unison.
