Count Volynsky lost the race, and seemed to be languishing for a while, and Anna didn't know what he thought, maybe she was dead, after all, there was always a unilateral lack of response, and it was also a challenge to the pride of a person like him, or rather, what Petersy said.
Although everyone thinks of Petsea as a brainless woman, Anna doesn't think so.
Under the limitations of the times, some of Petersy's ideas may not be smart enough, but they are the woman who makes her own life the most in her place.
Since then, they have sometimes partyed, such as afternoon tea, but both Anna and Petsy themselves have tacitly become less friendly.
At this time, it is only the interests that maintain the relationship between them, not the sympathy between some kind of woman.
The relationship between Legia and Petersi is still not good.
A beautiful woman like Pedesy doesn't look down on Ligia, and Legia thinks that a woman like Petsy is a profligate. The standard by which a woman is measured is that these noble ladies have a ruler of their own in their hearts.
Karenin did not ask much about Count Volynsky, after all, a careerist like him would not spend all his mind on a man who pursued his wife.
If it were someone else, it would probably be arrogant, but Karenin would not give people that feeling.
The hesitation and suspicion did not belong to Karenin, and when the day passed, Karenin's mind was almost entirely focused on his work, and he returned to his original pace, except for very little overtime.
In the sweltering heat of summer, when there were not many people going to petition, everyone became lazy, as if they were ready to save everything in one go until autumn or winter, so Karenin suggested that they should go to the country manor for a while to escape the summer.
"Mom, there's something sweet about that." Seryosha whispered after class.
As Anna's belly gradually revealed, even Seryosha seemed to grow several years at once. He has indeed grown a lot, and the largest banyan tree in the garden has now surpassed the scale marked last year.
Every day, Seryosha had to touch Anna's belly, and he now knew that just touching it gently would not hurt the baby.
Anna doesn't know what the summer was like before, but in the eyes of modern people who are accustomed to air conditioning, summer is still a little uncomfortable in St. Petersburg, so Karenin's proposal is almost like a summer breeze, which is simply touching.
"He is my husband and your father, so why should he not love us?" Anna said with a smile, combing Seryosha's curly hair, the weather is too hot, Seryosha is like a little Dutch long-haired poodle, it is inevitable that his hair will be wet during class, because he has now begun to learn to ride a horse.
Seryosha covered his face, sometimes he felt that he could not accept such straightforward words from his mother.
With the help of the housekeeper, they packed their luggage and went to the house in the country.
It is said to be in the countryside, but in fact it is just a suburb, and compared to the real poor, it is a paradise at all.
The shaded trees, the sparkling river, and the sky-blue hue of the villa sat on a green lawn, a softer and more elegant shade than their house in Petersburg, and in the courtyard there were roses in bloom just right, which Yunina had asked to take care of in advance, and it was said that it was her sister Annuska. An attentive girl indeed.
Anna had promised Yunina before, and with the help of Karenin, she did it.
She originally wanted to leave a way back for herself, to have her own place in this era, but now there is no need.
In the face of those gratitudes, Anna did not feel ashamed, or complacent.
Whatever her previous intentions, she had brought them benefits and benefits, and so had done for herself, so she did not refuse the added value she received, but it was not her willingness to do something she was unwilling to do in a mask in order to maintain that added value.
After all, now, she is very satisfied with her life, so there is no need to toss.
Karenin would not have known about his wife's thoughts, what Anna said to him would only make him respect her and love her more, as for the rest, he would not have considered it between husband and wife, God taught mercy and tolerance, and now he wanted to say that he loved his wife and loved her, so what else did he need to consider?
Sometimes, Anna thought, people do have to be grateful, for example, that she is now so rich that she doesn't need to work in exchange for food.
Anna wouldn't have thought that way before.
But now, she began to think about it. Whatever her motivation, she consulted with Karenin and donated some money to renovate the school. It was very beneficial to Karenin's work and to him personally, and for Anna, the little secret of her heart was realized, which could not be told to anyone else.
Even if she loved Karenin, it didn't mean that she had to share anything with him.
There are always some things that will not change, acceptance and tolerance do not mean abandoning oneself, occasionally, those bitter little tentacles will still pop up, mean to others, mean to yourself, but no matter what, life is always happier.
In July, when the rain was coming quickly, Karenin went to the town, and Seryosha was just taking French lessons, and they brought in the governess, a young woman with slender limbs and unbeautiful features, but with a unique temperament.
She was very kind to Seryosha and would not transgress her status, she was a teacher, and she was reserved and polite in private, and it is said that Slyuddin was very fond of this lady, but in Anna's opinion, Susan clearly preferred Vlamikir.
Yes, speaking of Vlamykiel, he will come over to visit today, it seems that his long vacation is over.
"Ma'am, the guests have arrived."
"Okay, I'll go."
Because of the weather, Anna privately preferred to wear light long skirts, and when the tailor came, she made a few more advanced clothes according to her requirements, the style was simple, the materials used were very breathable, most of them were light colors, plus a bright satin, and a black hair was pulled up at will.
When Vlamikil saw each other, he couldn't help but sigh at Anna's beauty.
The maid brought the refreshments, which were fine rose bone china tea sets.
Anna looked at Vlamikil and smiled, "What gift did you send us?" ”
The blond-haired young man smiled back, tilted his head and said, "I thought you would have a belly of words to ask me." ”
"I'm just a woman who doesn't know anything, so it's better to show me a gift."
"I shouldn't have said those stupid things, you know everything, and even if you didn't look at me, I remember those words, and sometimes I don't even dare to imagine, if I hadn't heard what you meant, it wouldn't have been a delicious refreshment among us."
Anna smiled slightly: "Don't say it so terrible, Mr. Vlammyquil, I will always give you only delicious refreshments, as for others, it is not something I can guess." ”
The young man shook his head, then pulled out his own gift.
It was a very delicate gadget that Russia did not have.
"In its country, it's a work of art and a medicine to carry around, and I hope you'll enjoy it."
"I love it." Anna played with that delicate little thing, put it in the sun, let the light refract, and the square font seemed to span time, seducing some emotions of people.
"Mom!"
Seryosha's voice woke Anna up, and she blinked her eyes at the little boy in a sailor's suit running over, his face flushed, and summer seemed to have little effect on a child like him, always full of energy.
Seryosha first touched Anna's hand, and then said sweetly to Vlamikir, "I haven't seen you for a long time, sir." ”
"You've grown a lot taller, Seryosha." Vlamykiel said with a smile. This sentence made him happier than giving Seryosha a doughnut.
"I'll grow taller!" He said excitedly.
"Do you want a gift?" Vlamykiel said.
Seryosha's eyes were shining: "Will you give me a gift?" ”
Vlamikir smiled and gave him Seryosha's gift, which was a very good set of soldiers, completely different from what Seryosha had played before, and even a simulated sand table combination.
After sitting for a while, Vlamykiel said he was going to take his leave.
"You can wait a little longer, Alexei will be back soon." Anna said, Flammykiel shook her head and smiled, "Let's wait until it's time to officially go to work." ”
When Karenin returned in the evening, Anna told him about Vlammykil, and the man looked at her calmly and said: "You know? ”
"No, I don't know, I'm just an ordinary wife." Anna chuckled, and went upstairs.
Karenin stayed where he was for a while, and then he also went upstairs, and he found his wife taking out a silver-white dress from the closet, and when he found him, he said: "What a pity, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to wear it." ”
"Why?" Karenin walked up to Anna.
Anna put her clothes on her body and compared them, then frowned slightly: "This is the dress I was going to wear to the prom next month, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wear it this month." ”
She had considered that she was pregnant, so she specially asked the tailor to make the dress bigger, but what she didn't expect was that her belly would bulge like a balloon during this time, after all, she was never pregnant.
"It's beautiful."
"You don't want to block me, sir." Anna complained.
Karenin smiled slightly, and then said: "You can wear it now." ”
"Now?"
"Yes."
Not long after, in the halls of this villa, bright lights were turned on, and the servants were instructed not to disturb them.
Seryosha changed into a delicate dress, he sat in front of the piano and played the tune with a somewhat childish hand, while in the center of the whole hall his parents were dancing slowly.
Anna looked at Karenin and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.
"I didn't expect you to have such a romantic idea."
"I don't know if this falls into the category of romance, and in the case of me making this suggestion, it was the most logical."
Anna listened to the other man's words, and then tiptoed slightly and kissed the gentleman on the corner of the mouth.
"My husband."
Anna turned and waved at Seryosha, and the little one, who had covered his eyes with his fingers, caught a glimpse of Anna beckoning to him between his fingers, and ran over happily.
"Father, hold me." Seryosha said that because Anna is not able to bend over now, and he is not tall enough.
Karenin picked Seryosha up.
Anna held the little one's face and kissed it.
"My son."
The boy giggled, the man smiled faintly, and Anna's right hand rested lightly on her stomach, and now, they were all looking forward to the birth of the child.
Whether it is him or her, if he or she comes to this world, what awaits him or her is happiness in addition to happiness.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your continued support (づ ̄3 ̄) づ╭?~ There is an extra fan behind
I've been busy lately, and I wanted to reply last week, but I couldn't turn it out, so I didn't reply.
As I've set before, I want this to be a complementary story, and I've always felt that there is something to be done. Life may have given you more tribulations than others, but as long as you don't give up, life will always get better and better. When I first graduated from college, I had a hard time, a lot of things, I could only sleep at one o'clock every day, and I had to get up at six o'clock in the morning. I'm not happy at work. After staying up for eight months and learning something, I didn't dare to resign at that time, it was very difficult to be alone in the field, and resigning meant turmoil. Now it's slowly getting better.
I'm one of those people who was too happy before the age of 20, didn't have a lot of basic skills, and then a big wave hit, and I had to learn everything all over again, and the process was very difficult. But looking back, sometimes I still feel that I am lucky, my limbs are sound, and I slowly survived.
This story is over, and the next story I want to write about their marriage with a difference of 14 years, which is the "courage" I need most in the second half of the year :)
