Chapter 1 (2/2)
There are no electric lights, no Internet cables, no carriages or even so many opportunities for women to go out at will
There were so many bad things, but she saw him again, so all the bad things disappeared. She wanted to seize the opportunity, after all, she didn't believe that the same luck would happen twice, but
”That's not what I mean.”
A slightly low voice sounded, Anna looked up, the man's slightly thin lips pursed, and then continued, ”I just don't understand, why did you suddenly choose me?”
Karenin didn't mean to shirk or lie. He really didn't understand.
He came to Moscow from Petersburg on business, and at the ball, he witnessed miss oberonski shine like a gem.In fact, it was not the first time that he heard about this young lady. He had heard about it half a month ago. However, she was not famous for her beauty at that time, but she lost her memory because of falling into the water. After all, there were not many famous ladies in Moscow who met the marriageable age and brought a dowry with them.
Single men all feel sorry for miss oberonski. They don't want her to have an accident. To be precise, they don't want her life to be damaged, which will lead to the loss of dowry, the damage of her face, which will make people sigh. As for other things, there are really not many people to worry about.
Now, the young lady raised her pretty face and told him seriously that she wanted to marry him. It was amazing.
If Karenin was one of those men who claimed to be smart, he would not ask any more questions. Instead, he would immediately take the other party's hand, say some affectionate words, and then happily prepare for the wedding ceremony, and generously provide talks for people in Moscow and even Petersburg for at least a month.
Unfortunately, fortunately, he is not.
Because it was not rejected, Anna's eyes lit up again. Karenin caught a hidden memory in his heart. He felt that when the eyes were happy, they were almost as bright as fireflies.
”Miss oberonski, the name of intimacy is only allowed to be used in intimate relationships that have been blessed by God.”
”I'll take it as a joke and promise you that no third person will know about it.”
Anna knew the other side was defending her reputation, and even, she knew what it meant.
For a man like Karenin, although he does not need to make his official career smoother and his wealth increase through marriage, marriage has always been the weight of interests, even the emperor.
”My God She exclaimed in a low voice, then raised her eyes abruptly, unable to stop her smile.
”You can't stop me now.”
”What?”
Karenin frowned. He thought he had come up with the best way.
”We get married.” Anna said, confident.
”I don't have anyone I like better now, my family and your identity. We are the same as each other. No, there is nothing more suitable than us. I think you should be able to put up with me, and I think you're very kind, and I'd love to marry you. Why do you refuse the marriage under such circumstances? ”
”Wait!” Suddenly she said nervously, stopping Karenin from speaking.
After that, Anna asked a well-dressed servant for pens and paper. The servant quickly brought Anna what she wanted. The paper was expensive parchment.
”Just a moment, please.” She said apologetically, then began to write on the parchment. After a while, she pushed the paper from her side and motioned him to have a look.
While the man was reading, Anna held her cheek in her right hand, her long eyelashes, and her gray eyes focused on each other.
She remembers this position. At that time, she was on the catwalk, and he was in the position closest to the aisle. He was in that position every time. He sent the same kind of flowers every time, but he never talked to her.
Anna admitted that the man aroused her interest.
Now, fortunately, there is another chance.
In front of this pair of slender hands white but not weak, once wrote her a very beautiful card, although short, but the words are steady and powerful, just like him, a little cold sexy.
”I'm done with it.”
”Your answer.”
”I will agree with you.”
So, on this day, on the dance floor one meter away, the noise was so loud that on this side of the corner on the mahogany soft chair, a marriage of fourteen years old was opened.
