A Noble Marriage - Chapter 51

The carriage was silent.

Generally speaking, Anna is the first to break the silence, but not today.

After the carriage had gone a little way, Karenin opened his mouth and said, “did I frighten you?”

“No Anna said quickly, then looked at her husband for the first time after tonight. Then he dropped his eyes, sighed, and looked again at Karenin.

“Well, a little. I can ask about this, right? ”

“Yes, you can.” Karenin nodded. Anna knew that if she was upset by this, it would be the same with Karenin. So he didn’t really worry at all.

There was a gentle smile on her face when she thought of it.

Anna stretched out her hand, holding her hand on her lap as usual, dry and warm. In contrast to the coolness of the knee.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a week or two, is it?”

“Exactly since you went to Mr. Gorman’s shop.” Karenin said, “I went to them alone. Mr. Gorman is a wise man. As for Mr. prokhov, I only said what he must know. Obviously, he misunderstood something. But after comprehensive consideration, I don’t think it is necessary to explain. ”

“And miss Alina?”

“Miss Alina, I found her last week. When you came back late that time, I investigated Miss Eliza. It’s not uncommon, Anna

“Miss Eliza, I can’t believe it.”

“Good people or bad people are never absolute. A good man is just not bad enough, a bad man is just not good enough. So that’s why sometimes we meet people who do something you can’t accept, but you’re miserable and confused. ”

Karenin took his wife’s hand and rubbed his thumb against her finger.

“Every one of them has a reason to be like that. Sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily true. Don’t forget, apart from politicians, they are the most disguised. But on the whole, there are no people in the world who are disguised as seamless. Why are you being cheated? Because human nature is greedy, so long as we observe carefully, everyone has his own weakness. ”

“Miss Alina has a naturally disabled sister to look after, and miss Eliza, who is married in the country, escaped. Krasko used this to get her to frame you up

Karenin looked at his wife, blue eyes calm, but his words were as firm as a rock.

“Anna, if you want to. It’s not just my wife’s words. You have to deal with more than just gossip. ”

“I was able to survive in the upper class of Petersburg, with countless wealth than the poor, more power than businessmen, not just because of my family name. No matter what my political intentions were, there will be no clean people on this road. ”

“Any peace and prosperity you can see in Petersburg is because of what we want to show you. Early preparation is the armor to survive in this circle, but it is not always foolproof. It’s like tonight. ”

“Really, do you think I’ve arranged all this already?”

Anna nodded.

Karenin gave a smile, which was totally different from what Anna used to see. The smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and it was different from the fake smile when Karenin and his colleagues exchanged greetings.

Anna couldn’t make it clear.

It’s just that if she’s just a stranger who has had a few face-to-face conversations with Karenin, she’s not sure if she’ll come close to each other.

But there is always no if in the world.

He was her husband of her choice, so instead of escaping, she put her other hand on the other’s hand, tightly wrapping the warm hand.

“You saved me, like a knight.”

Anna laughed. She didn’t know how charming she was when she was smiling.

When their owner is quiet and contemplative, his eyelashes droop, and the outer ring of his pupils is a deep gray tone. Most men will fall in love with it. But only Karenin understands that smile is Anna’s charm.

When she laughs, it seems that something full of vitality has broken the sexy dark gray into a light but brilliant light. The long eye tail like sideburns kiss, as if that kind of thing named happiness is going to transpiration from the air.

A long time later, when Anna came across this, she began to understand.

Even though most men in the world love the mystery and beauty of women and pursue their sexiness and melancholy, only those who really love you more than themselves only love your smiling appearance.

But now, although still unable to understand this matter, the lovely instinct has let Anna know how to speak out the most true feelings and the best words to praise her husband.

“The prince belongs to everyone, but the knight belongs to me only.” She said with deep meaning.Yes, Prince is the best dream in every girl’s heart.

He was handsome, handsome and upright.

Knights are brave, brave, but not so orthodox.

Knights do not belong to the light, the end of the story is always Prince and princess, no one will remember that the knight opened up the road for the first time.

They’re just doing what they’re told. They’re not.

But Anna knew that she had to reward the knight. After all, the prince would be with the princess, and the knight always needed someone to love him!

“Thank you, Alexis.” Anna hugged her husband and whispered in his ear.

“Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

“Thank you for showing me the beauty of the world.”

“Thank you for making me feel that the world is better because of you.”

“And thank you for giving me a choice.”

Finally, she said with a slight smile, slightly away, holding her husband’s face in her hands and smiling at him with twinkling eyes like stars.

She was cocky, confident and cheerful.

“You forget that there is a rule in the Karenin family. Since they have chosen, they will only go forward bravely rather than timidly escape. Dear Mr. Karenin, it seems that you have no choice but to be good to me. After all, now I know your little secret completely! ”

After listening to this sentence, Anna saw the man’s deep blue eyes, which were half covered by eyelashes, slowly bent up, shallow, as if from the sea back to the sky blue.

So gentle. Anna likes it the most. So, unique

“With pleasure, dear Mrs. Karenin.”

A kiss fell between her slender eyebrows, then slipped gently to her lips.

Anna thought: I really, really, really love him. It doesn’t matter whether I thought he was a good man with integrity, or now he claims to be a hypocritical villain. Because from now on, I know more than anyone what he looks like.

I just want to be with him and face all the difficulties together.

Therefore, I solemnly swear that in the future, no matter what my eyes see, what my ears hear, what my hands touch, I will unconditionally choose to trust my husband.

We will be happy until the end of our lives

Since that night, Anna has become a very well-known figure in Petersburg, even in Moscow.

Apart from those who do not have husbands of social flowers, serious husband people, few people in addition to beauty in this circle is very famous.

“Who is Anna alkadievna?”

“Oh, that’s the one! That Mrs. Karenin

Betsy learned the talk to Anna with a laugh or two.

“I didn’t expect you to do that, honey.”

Anna just laughs and doesn’t answer. Patsy brushes her hair. She didn’t come here today for fun, but she wanted Anna to help her design a dress.

Of course, after all, they are relatives.

“Certainly, my dear Betsy.” Anna told her that she would help, and petsey was very happy.

Her main purpose today has been completed. At last, when she left, she said in a vague way: “I think now I understand why you don’t come to our small circle.”

“I’ll call on you when the storm calms down, Betsy.” Anna said, pretending not to understand.

Betsy blinked and finally gave Anna a kiss on the cheek.

“Smart girl.”

After sending Betsy away, anuska took another stack of visiting letters and said, “at least let yourself have a rest, ma’am.”

“There will be plenty of time to rest in the future. Now, everyone is watching.” Anna said, pouring a cup of black tea again.

Now she can’t say she likes it, but if you want to stay in this circle, you can’t be too independent.

Black tea is not a matter of principle.

The last visitors were Mr. Gorman, Miss aurea, and Mr. prokhov.

Anna rearranged the reception room.

“I feel very stupid.” Said Mr. prokhov, in a relaxed tone.

Anna laughed. “You’re so honest.” With that, she looked at Miss aurea. “I’m sorry I hid you, aurea.”

Miss aurea shook her head. “Don’t take it to heart. Everything is fine now.”

Finally, Anna looks at Mr. Gorman.

“Well, you must say something to me, Mr. Gorman.”

Mr. Gorman took a sip of black tea, his eyebrows spread out, and his thin lips made a smile.

“I don’t think I should say anything.”

Anna shook her head. “Well, I can’t count on that.””Dad, she’s happy for you, too, Anna.” ‘They have agreed to address each other in a more intimate tone, ‘Ms. aurea said.

Although there was a six-year-old difference between the two ladies, Miss aurea always behaved like a twelve year old girl. If you ignore her appearance, people will even think that she has the wisdom and tranquility of a mature woman in her twenties.

“Don’t speak for me, aurea.” Said Mr. Gorman.

Miss aurea chuckled and winked at Anna.

Anna took out a contract and handed it to Mr. Gorman, who took it and looked at it.

Anna said: “you have the talent and skill that I can’t reach at present. If you think I’m not enough to make you angry and want to drive me out, then I hope to continue to learn from you.”

“The rent of this place is very high, PA….” Said prokhov, and then stopped after habitually calling out the name.

“So I drafted the contract.”

Mr. Gorman looked away and said, “but this time I don’t accept interference anymore.”

Anna, of course, understood Mr. Gorman’s interfering element, and she laughed and blinked: “I try to make it give us more space.”

Mr. Gorman snorted coldly.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, someone called the interfering element returned on time as usual.

Anna put down her black tea and walked briskly to meet her husband.

“Alexis, the new store, I have some ideas to tell you…”

The original spacious and lonely house, as usual, became lively and warm because of the happiness of the hostess.

A man goes to the telegraph office in Moscow.

“To where?”

“Petersburg…”
