Anna didn't know what Karenin was thinking at the moment, she couldn't keep guessing what the man with the lack of facial expression had been thinking all day, and that Seryosha was out of the house just as they were about to return to the bedroom.

The boy wore a short black velvet jacket with a lace neckline that was turned out, a small section of the cuffs was exposed, and small black leather shoes were shiny, reflecting the boy's slender legs.

"Are you leaving me alone?" Seryosha walked over and asked with a slight pout, his bright blue eyes tinged with a little dissatisfaction.

Anna gave him a little curly on his forehead and said, "No." ”

"You've taken care of yourself, it's great, Seryosha."

The dimples on Seryosha's cheeks appeared, and he took Anna's hand and said, "I could have done this a long time ago." Then he looked at his father.

Karenin knew that Seryosha still wanted a word of praise, and if he had done so, he would have been more inclined to teach the child to be humble in some sensible words, but based on what had happened before, he thought that Seryosha was generally a very polite one, and was classified as a harmless and slightly cute boy.

So, Karenin gave Seryosha the words he wanted.

"I hope you can continue to maintain the good habits you have now, Seryosha."

Seryosha looked at his father with some surprise, although he hoped to get affirmation from the former, but when it really happened, he was a little flustered and flattered.

But Seryosha is also a lively and confident child after all, and after receiving the affirmation, a bright smile appeared on his face again.

Anna rang the bell and asked the hotel waiter to bring a breakfast for children, while Karenin worked in the suite's small study.

After Seryosha finished eating, he asked his mother: "My homework has been completed, can I study later?" ”

Anna thought only for a moment before replying, "Yes." ”

Seryosha smiled sweetly, and he looked at Anna with an expectant look: "Can you go out for a walk with me?" ”

Anna had planned to ask Slyudin later, but Seryosha's expectant eyes made it impossible for her to refuse. After nodding her head and agreeing to Seryosha's request, she also thought to herself, when did she start to indulge this writhing monster in front of her so much?

Of course, the answer doesn't matter.

After greeting Karenin, Anna took Seryosha out of the bedroom.

It's spring now, time flies so fast, and when she first arrived, she was always thinking about how to live a life that best protects her interests and doesn't let her get into trouble.

She originally watched the father and son from a distance in her heart, but now they pulled them out and became a part of life.

When the sun from the garden fell on her face, Anna thought, all this is not bad, or even good.

"Mom, I'll hold your hand." Seryosha said with a smile on his face as they were about to walk down a cobblestone path.

"That way, you won't wrestle."

The sun and Seryosha's smile were on Anna's hand, and now she was sure that she was happy. In this strange era, because of this big and small, there is a certain sense of belonging, which only belongs to her.

The garden was large, and Anna felt that Seryosha was like a puppy that had been released out of the door, full of energy. Although he was a little restrained, everything that came out of those blue eyes was clearly curiosity about the world.

Whether it's a flower or a small worm, Seryosha can be attracted.

Although Anna was willing to accompany Seryosha to a farther place, for some reason, she felt a little tired.

The thought of going to Slyudin later, rolled again in Anna's mind.

But now she didn't want to ruin Seryosha's fun, so Anna said, "Seryosha, I want to bask in the sun here." ”

"Of course you can, Mom, you sit here, there's a bench here." Seryosha took Anna's hand, then took out the handkerchief that had been neatly folded in his breast pocket, wiped the bench, and let Anna sit.

Anna looked at Seryosha's delicate movements and said with a smile: "You miss your father very much, Seryosha. ”

"Of course, Mom, I'm my father's son." Seryosha said in a proud tone, he made a gesture of please, his stature was not yet an adult, his fingers were still immature and round, and his jaw line was childlike without edges and corners, Anna saw this and bent down and kissed Seryosha on the forehead.

"It's a reward for a little gentleman."

Seryosha smiled, a little shy, but proud.

Perhaps the gentlemanly spirit of a little boy is always displayed in their mother, whether it is the mother or the boy himself, he will regard it as a great event, and carefully and properly place it in his memory.

Anna sat on the bench and her eyes fell on Seryosha, who was carefully studying various flowers in front of her.

The spring morning sun doesn't feel as lazy as the afternoon sun, but it's always comfortable. Just as Anna was a little sleepy and about to doze off, a voice sounded tentatively.

"Ma'am?"

Anna looked back.

It was the young girl that day, but there was not only one child by her side at this moment, but four or five, both boys and girls, dressed in half-used but decent clothes, and it was evident that these children's families, though not as wealthy as theirs, were not poor children.

"It's really you, what a coincidence, I'm afraid that if I call it wrong, it will be a shame." The young girl smiled a little shyly. Unlike her expression, her actions can be said to be brave.

"Mind if I come to you?"

"Of course not, miss, this is not my garden." Anna said. Mentally speaking, she doesn't like to take the initiative to make any friends, but she is not the kind of person who likes to make enemies for herself, not to mention, this young lady is probably not an ordinary person, as can be seen from the gold chain around her neck. Although it is not ostentatious, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and poor families cannot buy it even if they have money.

"You're so nice, ma'am." The young lady laughed again, and then sat down on the bench, with several children gathered around her.

Seryosha also refused to observe his words, but as the young woman sat beside his mother, he also gathered around, firmly occupying the place on Anna's right hand, and looked at her with a cautious, puzzled look.

"You may call me Warrenga, ma'am, what shall I call you?"

"I'm afraid I'll be happier if you call me Anna directly." Anna said with a smile, looking completely amiable as a noble lady.

"Call me Warrenga, if you wish, Anna." The young girl named Warrenga said, looking a little excited.

"Yes, Warrenga, I haven't introduced you to my son yet. Come here, Seryosha, say hello like Miss Valenta. ”

"Hello, ma'am." Seryosha greeted politely and restrainedly. His polite appearance pleased Warrenga.

"How wonderful your son is! Seryosha yes, you're such a lovely kid! ”

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am." Seryosha said, smiling. Although he didn't like to be called cute, it was in front of strangers, and he always kept his father's church in mind, and his own preferences should not be the reason for social trade-offs.

"All of you come here, too." Warrenga gently said to the children that all but the youngest and the eldest were girls, and that they were all boys.

The older girl, who had long brown hair and was pretty, had been peeking at Seryosha. The other children are beautiful even among ordinary people, but compared to Seryosha, they are a little discolored.

Seryosha was a year younger than the oldest girl on their side, but that didn't stop him from being brilliant.

Seryosha greeted every child, who was also Russian, but they lived more in Moscow, so they had never seen the elegance of Petersburg.

It is true that at Seryosha's current age, elegance is not on par with him, but if this child had such a father, he would still have some Petersburg habits in him. It is a rigorous, yet romantic and gentle style.

"Can we play together in front for a while? Mom. Seryosha asked his mother for advice.

He's incredibly endearing.

Boys his age want to be away from their parents the most, and even if their minds are not mature enough to make judgments, they have tried countless times to break through their parents' control and let some whimsical ideas carry their brains forward.

Seryosha never did.

Whether he is alone or by his parents' side, he can always do his own thing, but when he is with his parents, he is still a child.

"Yes, you can." Anna allowed Seryosha and the five children to continue observing their flowers, or the ant kingdom or something, something that only children could have fun.

"You look a little bad." Warrenga said.

Anna subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face and asked, "Is it bad?" ”

"No," Warrenga hesitated for a moment before continuing, "it's just that I'm more sensitive to this aspect. ”

"You're taking care of someone who isn't in good health, are you?"

"How do you know?" Warrenga was shocked, and when she was shocked, her face, which was not very good-looking, became a little cute because of this natural movement.

"You have the smell of medicine, it is soaked in for a long time, and you move very gently, and when you walk, you always land on the front foot and follow the back foot unhurriedly, these small movements are telling me that there may be someone in your family who needs your care."

"I gotta say, you're very observant, and that's pretty remarkable." Warrenga said sincerely and reverently.

"You can love the children as if they were your own, you are better than me, Warrenga."

Warrenga blushed again and then said, "I'm twenty years old, but I haven't found the right one yet." If someone said that, I'd probably think they were laughing at me, but I wouldn't think that way if you said that. ”

Anna was a little surprised when she said that she was only twenty, but she just gave Valenta a reassuring look without moving.

To be honest, Warrenga is not ugly, but she cannot be said to be beautiful, she lacks the vitality of a young girl, but at the same time she is very gentle and quiet.

"Yes." Anna said something emotional.

Then for a moment, as if the broken circuit had been repaired, a terrible thought struck her. 166 Reading Network
