A Noble Marriage - Chapter 57
The news surprised Anna, but her husband just took her hand and walked to the second floor.
Anna couldn’t help asking, “what’s the matter?”
Karenin stopped for a moment and then went on.
He turned his head to his wife and said, “do you feel so surprised that I’ve been with you for three days on vacation?”
Anna blinked and then laughed.
“I never thought I could win your job.”
Karenin looked back and said, “you didn’t even try to fight, Anna.”
Anna was stunned. She was not sure what Karenin meant. If Karenin was an ordinary man, this would have some kind of complaint, but it was Karenin, her husband of extraordinary reason.
“Thank you.”
Said Karenin, almost with a sigh. Anna felt her hand clenched.
Anna shook each other back and said gently:
“we are all what you cherish, don’t we?”
As she walked, she said, “I naturally hope you can spend more time with me, but I also like to see how you work or share your joy. It’s all part of life, and I, myself, have things I love. So, you don’t have to feel any debt to me at all, and we’ll be fine. ”
“I don’t want you to give up anything to accommodate me.”
“If we get married, but you need to give up your original life, your original preferences, or, in order to satisfy me, and give up your self, then I do not want things to become this way.”
It’s Anna’s turn to stop this time. They are at the door of the study now.
Her gray eyes were like gems. In fact, in Karenin’s mind, they were more shining and moving than gems.
“Because when I married you, you were like that, and I was ready to marry you, and I didn’t want to make you a perfect marriage.”
She raised her hand to touch each other’s cheek, and Karenin held her hand gently.
Anna smiles.
“So, dear Alexis, you just need to be yourself. After all, what I like is what you look like. Of course, sometimes you treat me as more important than work as you do today. I’m really as happy as thousands of wives. They’re like casual gifts, and I don’t even think I’ll be able to give you such a good one for your birthday
She finally made a joke.
She didn’t expect to get any reaction from Karenin for this not so funny joke, but in fact, she not only got, but also got a very soft smile.
There was a look in those blue eyes as if she were some sort of fluffy little thing that had just come out of its shell.
From Karenin’s point of view, when his wife said this, it was really like a fluffy, not strong little thing, with her soft beak and innocent eyes looking at the creature in front of her, which was a hundred times stronger than her.
She didn’t seem to be aware of the difference at all, but made a wild acquaintance with the latter.
He used to think that was because she was really naive and ignorant of the world, but now the senior Russian official knows it.
All this is not a problem.
His wife fully understood that he was not a weak animal, but for her. Whether he is a high-ranking official or an ordinary man, it seems that there is no difference.
The dragon is frightening, but there are times to sniff the flowers, because although the flowers are weak, they also block a ray of hot sun for him.
Karenin figured it out, and then he kisses the inside of his wife’s palm, where the skin is white and soft, like the heart outside.
“You are more important than work, Anna.”
The afternoon sun can’t shine on the center of this long corridor, but the dust in the air stained with sunshine can always get close to them.
Anna couldn’t help but smile. She looked at her husband kissing the inside of her palm, feeling as if she had received a crown.
That night, Anna had a good idea.
She wrote this in her diary:
“when your eyes are on me, I think, if God gives me another chance to choose, I just want to say it earlier. There are tens of thousands of people in the world, but only you came into my heart, so let’s get married. Dear Alexei, to marry you is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life and the best luck I have ever had. Love your wife, Anna. ”
From today on, she will record the details of her marriage with Karenin, which will be sent out as a gift when appropriate. After all, life is always ordinary, so it needs some surprise and moving to keep them at a comfortable temperature.The next morning, Anna took Alexei to the train station to meet Andre.
They arrived early or late, and the train just stopped.
While Anna was still looking around to see where Andre was, the child herself magically appeared in front of Anna.
I’m sure Andre hasn’t changed much since I met a few months ago.
He still has dark hair and light blue eyes, fair skin, and a proud and cold look on his face. But when Anna hugs and kisses him, the boy shows another lovely look.
“Are you Alexei, Aunt Anna’s nephew?” Andrea asked first, without waiting for Anna to introduce him.
“Yes, Hello, Andrea.”
Alexei said politely and extended his hand more formally.
Andrea looked at Anna, then at Alexei, and finally shook the long white hand.
As Anna asked the servants to carry Andre’s luggage into the carriage, the 10-year-old began to talk to the blonde himself.
“I heard about that, and I want to say, it was interesting.” Andre commented, thought about it and added, “they didn’t talk about it. I just overheard it. I hope you don’t mind.”
Alexei didn’t answer, just a gentle smile.
Andrea looked at each other and said, “it seems you mind.”
Alexei was a little surprised.
“You don’t think that’s interesting.” Andrea shrugged his shoulders.
“That’s not interesting.” Alexei said his gentle smile subsided, but there was no stronger emotion.
“My mother asked me to be good friends with you, but it seems that you are not interested in me, and so am I with you. To you, I’m just a 10-year-old kid with a good family, but to me, you’re not interesting. So, if they ask, you know what to say? ”
“Of course,” Andrea added, “you know I’m not the kind of full-blown jerk who likes to hide his weakness by belittling others?”
“We can get along, Andre. I don’t see you that way.” Alexei chuckled softly.
“After all, some people can’t know more at the age of 14, can they?”
Andre raised his chin and looked at Alexei, and finally nodded in a reserved manner.
“In the afternoon you’ll get to know someone else. He’s stupid sometimes, but he’s a good guy.”
“I believe he will.” Alexei said.
So, for such a short period of time, after Anna arranged for her two children to sit in the carriage, she found that Andre’s sense of exclusion had disappeared.
“So you know each other, don’t you?” She asked.
“Yes, we’ll get along well, Aunt Anna.” Alexei replied.
Anna was relieved. She asked Andre’s parents some questions and was relieved after they had answered them all right.
At noon, Anna asked the two children for lunch.
She thought it would not be easy. After all, boys of this age are not very quiet, but in fact, both Andre and Alexei are quite clever.
There was no need to worry about their table manners. After a brief conversation, the boys went back to their bedrooms for a lunch break.
At a quarter past two in the afternoon, corney told Anna that they had arrived.
Anna received Charlie’s mother and asked the little boy to find Andre himself.
“But he may still be sleeping.” Anna said.
“If he’s sleeping, don’t disturb him, Charlie.” Said Charlie’s mother.
“I see.” Charlie answered and went upstairs.
When no one saw it, the little gentleman with a bow tie began to run wild.
He finds Andre’s bedroom, opens the door and sees a puffed quilt.
The boy tiptoed over to try to play a trick. Just as he was about to shake, a huge shadow from behind him covered him in.
Good afternoon, count Charles
Andre laughs, arms in his hands, watching his friend struggle in the quilt.
“It’s not the same as the reunion of other families.” Charlie just lay on the bed. “Even if there are no flowers, at least you have to give me a hug? Brother. ”
Andre had a disgusting look.
Charlie got up and couldn’t help but let the two complete the sticky embrace.
“Nice to meet you, Andre!” He said happily, “in Petersburg, I didn’t find any better friends than you.”
The latter sentence soothes Andre.
“I thought you knew that for a long time.” Then he mercilessly drove Charlie out of bed and made his own messy bedding.”Well, that’s just like you.” Charlie shrugged, pulled a chair and sat down. He began to talk about his experiences in Petersburg, most of the time he was bitter, but in fact, a lively little boy like Charlie would not lack friends no matter where he went.
But he knew Andre so well that he couldn’t tell each other that he had a great time in Petersburg.
They talked for a long time until Charlie’s mother was leaving.
“You can’t give them any trouble, you know?” Charlie’s mother warned her son.
“I won’t, I’ll be good, just like a newborn lamb.” Charlie grinned and promised.
“Remember what you said.”
Although she didn’t believe her son’s promise very much, Charlie’s mother could only say so. After all, she also knew that their decision to move did hurt the two children, and that although her son seemed heartless and free, she understood that Andrea was also his best friend, as close as a brother.
Therefore, with such an opportunity, and with the care of Mrs. Karenin, she only felt a lot less guilty in her heart.
After accepting his mother’s kiss, Charlie happily said goodbye to his mother, and then ran to Andre and looked at Alexei.
“We’re all blonde. It seems that we get along well.” Charlie said he was born with a natural familiarity.
“Your statement is totally illogical.” Andrea commented.
“You’re jealous. Girls love blonde hair.” Charlie said indifferently. He touched his hair and tried to pat his friend, the blonde alliance, on the shoulder and found he couldn’t reach it.
Then he realized the fact that, well, he seemed to be the shortest of the three
But it’s OK. He is also the youngest one! The boy comforted himself and patted Alexei on the thigh.
“Right, Alexei.”
“I don’t know, maybe.” Alexei said he didn’t hate the familiar look of the blonde boy, but he was a little reserved at the beginning. After all, he didn’t get any friendly contact in boarding school all year round.
Charlie was not satisfied with the answer.
“Hey, Alexei, if you have a good-looking girl, don’t hide it. Good brothers always share everything.”
“Or, smaller? Maybe she doesn’t mind the age gap. ”
Alexei shook his head. “Girls don’t like me.”
Charlie’s eyes widened. “Are you kidding? If girls don’t like you, do they like Andre’s obsessive-compulsive disorder? ”
“Hey, I don’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder!” Cried Andrea, emphasizing, “I just like to get things organized and organized, OK?”
Charlie nodded perfunctorily. He continued to look at the blonde and smacked his lips in disbelief: “there must be something wrong with it. Blonde hair is the best. We are very handsome!”
Anna didn’t want to disturb the conversation of the three boys, but until Charlie’s problem made Alexey a little confused, she began to worry, afraid that the straightforward boy would accidentally hurt Alexei, but the latter’s last words made her understand that she didn’t need to worry at all.
“As the nearest, only woman around you right now, I want to say, Charlie’s right, Alexei, you look great.”
Alexei’s face was a little pale with a flush on it.
“You don’t have to comfort me, Aunt Anna.”
“It’s not comfort. You have to believe my eyes. You just need to look better.” Anna said, and her eyes brightened.
“Yes, you need to look better.” ( )
