Anna looked at Karenin, pursed her lips, and did not speak.
Karenin said: "Anna, that is not a lie, I seriously ask you to consider my feelings. ”
"I'm serious too." Anna said quietly.
Karenin's eyes looked at her for a moment, and then he said: "I hope there will not be that day, but I know what you think." ”
Karenin took a step back, his hands clasped together, and paced in place for a moment.
"Don't tell anyone." Karenin looked at Anna, and then took two more steps.
"Let me think about it."
Anna looked at each other, the light on the side of the man's face, the bridge of the nose was high, the lip line was clear but pursed, she could fully feel Karenin's mood.
"I have a question." She said abruptly.
Karenin looked at Anna, who looked at him and asked, "Even if I'm not the same as before, it's okay?" ”
Karenin frowned, and then said: "You are indeed a little different, but Anna, although I adhere to my principles, I cannot guarantee that my thoughts will be the same at every moment. I'm doing this now, just on behalf of something that made me do it before. ”
Karenin's words made Anna pause, and she chewed on the meaning of these words in her heart.
"Anna, I'll consider your thoughts, but again, you'll have to give me time. I can't give an answer at this point. Karenin said calmly, completely devoid of the out-of-control behavior that had been seen before.
Although his wife's demands seemed unbelievable to him, he was willing to formalize them sensibly.
"You know what?" "I thought about what you would do if I told you that one day," said Anna, looking at Karenin with gray eyes. ”
"What would I do in your vision?" Karenin asked.
"Just like now." Anna said, and then gently kissed Karenin at the corner of her mouth, and when she wanted to leave the hand, the man raised his hand, put it on her waist, and gently tightened it, deepening the kiss.
This is different from the previous kind of obligatory, purposeful kiss, which is willing to be done by both parties.
Even though there are still a lot of problems between them, they will always solve them. Karenin thought so.
Even though I still reject them, once in a while, I think I'm relying on them. That's what Anna thought.
Dinner was very harmonious.
Tauly and Schiva seemed to have reconciled, at least, when Squiver tried to take his ketchup, Tauli handed it to him, and Anna and Karenin, although they did not talk as much as they had in the morning, Seryosha sensitively sensed a kind of harmony.
When it was time to go to bed, Seryosha picked up his small pillow and secretly ran to Anna and Karenin's bedroom.
"Mom." Seryosha glanced at the bedroom, and his father was not there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the bed with the agility of a fawn.
He crawled over and sat on Anna's flat lap, still holding his pillow.
"Are you reconciled?"
Anna had to put down the book in her hand and stare at the big-eyed little Bambi.
"Yes, we are reconciled."
Seryosha smiled: "That's good, mom, father is also very happy, I feel happy." ”
Anna pulled Seryosha up, then lifted the quilt again and let Seryosha lie in. She hadn't done that before.
"Seryosha, no matter what we do, you are our child, and the love we give you will not be less."
Seryosha looked up at Anna, and then said: "I understand, but mother, don't you love your father?" ”
Love?
Anna turned the word in her heart, she could not deny that she had a good impression of Karenin. Because he is tall enough, rich, famous, and not ugly, this favor is completely based on the world. But is that the same as love?
Anna wasn't sure, and to be honest, didn't want to be sure.
She always felt that this was less and less like herself, because she was indulging in a hotbed, so she was unwilling to sober herself. However, she looked at Seryosha, and from those big blue eyes, she seemed to see another older person. He is taller, with slender fingers, thin lips and clear lips, and a cold and rigorous appearance of a high-ranking official.
"I naturally love your father, Seryosha, don't doubt that." Anna kissed Seryosha on the forehead, calmly reassuring him.
Seryosha was a child after all, and he believed Anna in his heart. So he was appeased, because he smiled sweetly, and begged softly, "Then can I sleep with you and my father?" ”
"I think he'll mind."
"But you often sleep together at home, and now, I want to be with you." Because of the rare opportunity, Seryosha was a little stubborn.
And Anna just wanted to shout at the writhing monster in front of her, "We didn't sleep together!" ”
Of course, she couldn't do that, so she promised Seryosha that he could sleep here, and as for whether Karenin would be unhappy when he returned, that was not for her consideration. Do both father and son want her to coax? It's a headache just thinking about it.
In the study, Schihua was not afraid to see Karenin at this time, because Tauli allowed him to go to her bedroom, although it was only for a while, but it was already a great improvement, and for an optimist like Schiva, as long as there were good signs, the future could always be expected.
"Dear Alexei Alexandrovich, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing Skihua's happy expression, Karenin decided to ask directly.
"I just wanted to know more about my wife, your sister Anna."
"That's great, you're such a good husband, Alexei Alexandrovich!" Skihua looked at Karenin with a kind look, and raised his large, cotton-like hand and patted it on the firm part of Karenin's shoulders and neck.
"A husband always needs to know his wife, especially you, for my sister, after getting to know her better, you will find that she is as warm and cute as a kitten!" Skiward said cheerfully, and he doubted that his wife would really be like this when the former mentioned the words "warm and lovely".
"Hey, don't believe it, my sister Anna has a rich world here!" Skiver gestured to the place of the heart.
Karenin bowed slightly in agreement.
"That's true."
Because it was rare to be approved, Skihua felt even more excited, and couldn't help but say more about Anna's childhood.
"My sister Anna, she's been a beauty since she was a child, I mean, although she's not the tallest, she has the best features, but everybody likes her because she's kind and beautiful. Her letter, gentle like a lark's wings, gently scratches and scratches in your heart, and she has basically never done anything wrong. A girl like her should marry someone of status and fame like you. Sskyat said after taking a sip of vodka, and motioned for Karenin to drink it too, and the latter took a drink.
Skivat refilled his wine and continued to talk about Anna, but the farther he went, the more strange Karenin felt.
He thought: would Anna really do this?
Skewer's expression and tone of voice didn't look like a lie, but as far as he knew, Anna was definitely not the kind of delicate and gentle young lady.
Anna is not one of those women, she is a delicate Browning, because of her delicate and likable appearance, so she is often chosen to be carried in her arms, and when something happens, Browning is enough to hunt a person, but, at that time, maybe you will know that the muzzle of the Browning gun is aimed at others or at yourself.
"You have to cherish my sister, Alexei Alexandrovich." Skihua was slightly drunk.
Karenin looked at Scyward, who was already a little drunk, and felt that Scyward was indeed not a very good person, but he was a good brother.
After instructing the servant to return Scypress to his bedroom, Karenin also returned to his bedroom.
When he entered, he saw his son, who was sleeping soundly, and his wife, who was using his son's head as a pillow.
"You smell wine from afar, and you've been drinking with Skiward?" Anna put down the book and stopped stroking Seryosha's hair, and the latter quickly snorted to express his displeasure, and Anna had to continue to appease Bambi with the project.
"I drank some." Karenin did not deny it, he went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up before coming out, Anna was reading her book again, and Seryosha was still sleeping in his place.
Karenin twisted his eyebrows and said with some unhappiness: "Why didn't Seryosha go to his room?" ”
Anna put down the book, glanced at Karenin, and said: "He wants to be here." ”
"Anna, I said that excessive spoiling is very bad for Seryosha's growth."
"But for now I think it's okay, Seryosha is a polite and good boy, we don't need to worry so much, he won't be the kind of street gangster."
"Don't say such terrible things, Anna."
Karenin looked at Anna with a reproachful look, and then said: "At least leave me a place, I can't go and sleep in Seryosha's room." ”
Anna thought for a moment, then moved Seryosha a little to her side.
"Okay, I've got plenty of room for you."
Karenin stared at the half-made bed, and finally said: "I don't want to speculate maliciously, after all, speculation is undignified, I don't have sufficient evidence, but Anna, I think you did it on purpose." ”
"Don't say such a terrible thing, Alexei Alexandrovich." Anna said with a smile.
"How can I be the kind of person who will repay me, although you lied to me before, but not like that, we may still be arguing." 166 Reading Network
