A Noble Marriage - Chapter 106
Towards Christmas, the town hall was busier. To maintain order or prevent crime and so on, even in the civilian sector, complaints will increase.
The conclusion is that Karenin is busy again.
The weather is not too much for men because of their busy, but worse.
In the street, the cold north wind blows the branches to and fro.
During the day, there are still a lot of people. At night, the night covers the whole city. The whole city seems to be torn apart, half quiet and half noisy.
Anna left the fireplace and stood by the window for a long time.
“You’ve been standing for a long time, ma’am.” Anushika said, blanket in hand.
“Such a strong wind, it seems that the carriage will be blown away.” Anna said, a little worried.
“Maybe Mister won’t be back tonight,” he said when he left in the morning
Anna looked away and gave a slight smile.
“Maybe.”
Anuska knew she was still worried. She sighed and asked Anna to go to dinner first.
The doctor said that the wife should eat less and more meals now, and the husband also told us to strictly implement it, so anushika did not dare to omit one.
Sitting at the table, Anna chewed her food.
She’s a little bit pregnant now.
Pregnancy vomiting did not torture her for too long, if not slightly bulging stomach, she did not even feel pregnant.
As she ate, her mind moved.
After a while, she raised her head and frowned: “it’s like rain.”
Anuska took a closer look. “It’s raining. It’s raining heavily.”
“It may snow.” She added.
Anna listened, and then she ate more absent-minded.

government department.
Karenin pressed his brow.
Seeing this, he got up and brought him a cup of hot tea, and then sat down again.
“It seems a little cold.” He said suddenly, rubbing his arms.
Slythin actually likes sweaters, which are thick and soft, but his identity prevents him from wearing them during office hours. He had a young face, and if he gave up his armed clothes, he would have become more like a fresh graduate.
He looked at his boss, deep brows, clear lines, cold attitude, some envy.
“Mr. Karenin may not have been young. That’s good.” He thought quietly.
The opposite Karenin did not know.
Although he was always intelligent and wise, he sometimes did not seriously think about Mr. slythin’s occasionally absurd ideas.
Instead of drinking the cup of tea, he looked at it and pondered. After a while, he took out his gold pocket watch and took a look.
“It seems to snow.”
He heard him say that.
Karenin frowned. He got up and spread his long legs, but two or three steps to the window.
Some dark night, flying cotton like snow, but also mixed with the north wind. Such a heavy snow, it is not difficult to imagine where the road snow will go tomorrow.
“I don’t know if I can go back.” Sloutin muttered to himself, shrinking his neck involuntarily, as if the snowflake had penetrated into his body.
Karenin glanced at the papers on the desk next to him. There were not many.
He hesitated.
According to his habit, all these must be dealt with today. However, he looked out of the window at the snow, and then he made a decision.
“That’s all for today.” He said. Sting was surprised, but he kept a little round eyes.
“The snow is going to get heavier and heavier. You can stay nearby for one night.”
Slythin agreed without hesitation. He lives far away. As a bachelor, he doesn’t need to worry about anyone waiting for him at home. In other words, it’s worth him to risk a certain amount of risk to go home in such a snowy day.
“I’ll make the final arrangement. You go back first.” Said slythin.
Karenin nodded, and he explained two more words, and then walked quickly out of the office.
Peter drove the carriage over and left the town hall with his husband.
*************************
the snow seems to be heavier.
Anna was wrapped in a thick, champagne nightgown.
She sat in the reclining chair, the book in her hand did not turn that page for a long time.
She was a little worried.
The clock in the living room dutifully announced the time. It was already eight o’clock, and Anna felt sleepy.
She stroked her abdomen a little bit, trying to hold on for a while, but she felt bad, so she hesitated.Finally, she sighed and told herself that she was not only a wife, but also the mother of an unborn child.
Put down your books and minimize your worries. She went to the side of the big bed, opened the quilt and lay in it, as if she were soon asleep.
Vaguely, I heard a little noise, and I was suddenly awakened.
She opened her eyes, her pupils dilated with fear. Before long, she opened her quilt, wrapped her nightgown, and went down the stairs as steadily as possible.
The servant on duty yawned. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife coming down the stairs and woke up instantly.
“What’s the matter with you?” He hastened forward and asked.
Anna was stunned at the servant’s question.
She looked at the gate, her hand still on the escalator, not knowing whether she was relieved or still worried.
She calmed down and asked, “is Mr. back?”
“Not yet, ma’am. It’s already ten o’clock,” he said, and half looked out of the window. Then he continued, “it’s snowy, sir. I’m afraid he won’t come back today.”
Anna nodded. She thought the servant’s words were right, but she didn’t know why. She always felt a little uneasy.
The servant seemed to see Anna’s worry, and he grinned.
“Sir, it will be fine. There have been several times before. The snow is even bigger than today. Mr. a just came back after a night’s rest at the city hall.”
“Yes.” Anna smiles.
She stopped for a moment, then raised her foot and turned around to go upstairs.
Just at this moment, the door was opened, the hall came in and ran out.
Anna heard the sound and turned around again. She felt as if she had been pulled by something. She walked down the remaining stairs.
At the dark door, some snowflakes took the opportunity to drill in. As soon as they touched the ground, they fell down and turned into snowy water, making the small area at the door become wet and slippery.
Anna’s pace slowed.
Her mood is very anxious, as if she knows something, but the sense of responsibility as a mother makes her have to protect her own safety.
The servant on duty also saw the slippery ground and looked at Anna with some fear. Only when the latter was free, he was relieved.
Just as he was about to say something, several figures had already come from the courtyard.
You don’t need to guess who it is.
However, the gentleman, who always liked to walk in with fixed steps, walked slowly, and the hall on one side was still following closely, as if he was worried about something.
“Alexis!” Anna cried out.
The sound has just landed, the figure has stepped into the door, wrapped in the wind and snow.
Anna’s eyes fell on Karenin’s face, and her face turned pale. She saw a little damage to Karenin’s eyes, and her forehead was swollen.
Just when Anna wanted to walk quickly, Karenin had already taken a step forward, almost like running.
He helped Anna as if she were the one who was hurt.
“You are hurt!” Anna said, her hands had instinctively grasped Karenin’s arm, but subconsciously released it. She saw that he was hurt and was afraid to scratch him, but Karenin took her left hand.
“It’s not serious, it just looks a little scary.”
As he spoke, he looked down at the door and quickly ordered his servants.
“The ground is too wet. Close the door and clean it up.”
“Yes, sir.” The servant replied quickly.
“Shall I get you a doctor?” Asked the servant.
Karenin shook his head: “the snow is too heavy. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” With that he put his eyes back on Anna, who was raising his hand, looking to make sure that his face was serious.
“The snow was a little heavy, the road skidded, and accidentally hit the door handle of the carriage.” He said simply and quickly.
“I’ll take care of it a little bit. I’ll get the medicine box.” Anna distressed and wanted to get the medicine box, but Karenin stopped her.
“Anna, the medicine box is in the bedroom.” He cautioned.
Anna found that she had done a stupid thing. She had no time to think about it. She just nodded and wanted to take Karenin’s hand and take him up.
“Don’t worry.” Said Karenin in a low voice.
“But…” Anna was a little confused. Her heart beat a little fast. She didn’t know whether she was pregnant or how. She felt dizzy and wanted to say something, but her brain was stuck. At this moment, she was gently pulled into one’s arms.
“Nothing serious, Anna.”
Karenin gently comforted.
Anna took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
“I’m ready.” She said.
Karenin released his hand. He wanted to hold Anna, but the latter pulled his hand faster, as if she were the stronger side.
“Let’s go to your bedroom and have the doctor come and show you tomorrow.”After she finished speaking to Karenin, she said to the servant that he would go to the kitchen to cook an egg, and then she would bring the gauze together.
After saying that, she took Karenin’s hand and tried to make every step steady before moving forward.

in the bedroom.
The candlelight was quiet as if they didn’t know that the snowflakes were flying wantonly outside.
The wound at the corner of her eye was healed. Anna sat in her chair and rubbed the bruise for Karenin with the shelled eggs.
“It’s kind of funny.” She said suddenly, and then she began to laugh.
Unlike ordinary people, when he heard this, Karenin would subconsciously look at himself in the mirror. Instead, he raised his hand and took Anna’s hand.
“Nothing serious, Anna.”
“I know.” Anna’s smile suddenly narrowed and her voice was low.
“I’m sorry, I’m just a little worried,” she added, halfway through. “I’ve been worried lately.”
“Was it because I was pregnant that I came back?”
Karenin did not nod or shake his head.
He took the eggs from Anna’s hand and put them on the table.
“The snow is heavy, but I expect it will be some time.” “You don’t sleep well these days. Sometimes you kick the quilt at night. The doctor says that the temperature of pregnant people will be higher,” he said
Anna was stunned. She didn’t know that she would kick the quilt when she went to bed recently. Anyway, when she woke up in the morning, she was warm and warm.
“You did a good job, Anna.” Karenin added.
Before meeting, some people were puzzled. He raised his hand and gently arranged some disordered hair for her.
Her cool fingers rubbed against her cheek and felt numb and itchy.
“The slippery ground.” He cautioned.
Anna smiles, her fingers on the back of Karenin’s hand.
“I’m going to be a mother.” She said with a trace of pride.
“Yes.” Karenin also said with a low smile.
After a while, Mrs. Karenin’s unique smile rang out in her bedroom.
“It looks silly.”
“I was hurt.”
“It’s really funny. I’ll never forget it in my life.”
Half ring, a helpless voice sounded.
“Will it diminish tomorrow?”
“No, but not so funny.”
Snow is still wanton, although it is not Christmas, but in this day, some hearts just seem more warm up.
