Chapter 12 (1/2)
It was quiet when she went back. Anna took Karenin's hand in the carriage.
”Hand in hand is also a necessary lesson.” She said with a wink.
Karenin rarely saw people holding hands like this, and their fingers would be embedded between each other's fingers. He had never seen such intimate behavior in his familiar circle.
But seeing her happy appearance, this strange is not worth studying.
While sleeping, Karenin washed out and saw someone patting his pillow.
”I don't have a fever now, but I think a little warmer will make my body better.” She said.
Karenin knew it was an excuse and he didn't prick it. If he is the kind of person who is good at men and women, there will be more sweet words. But Karenin was never. Fortunately, his wife didn't care.
Open the quilt to sleep, roll over a small and soft body. A little bit closer to his heart, Karenin thought, maybe sometimes not so rational and not too bad.
”Good night, Alexis.”
”Good night, Anna.”
Anna didn't forget the dinner the next day. The dinner party started at 6:00 p.m., and Karenin had officials to visit during the day, and Anna was preparing clothes for the dinner.
She rummaged through the wardrobe, most of the clothes were not her favorite style and had to be pulled at the waist, which Anna thought was too much for women.
Before, she couldn't make too many changes, but now she plans to make herself more comfortable.
She likes the velvet texture, which is smooth to the touch, but the sleeves don't fit the dress well. Anna thought for a moment. She took the scissors and cut off the sleeve. She made a little modification to make it look like a glove. She sewed the velvet skirt close to her thighs with a needle and thread.
The collar doesn't need to be changed. It's low enough.
Anna looked at her hair in the mirror and put down the little bangs like the lid of the pot. Now they are a little longer.
Although the lid like bangs are popular now, in Anna's opinion, it's not very beautiful. She braided her hair into a braid and then coiled it up. Finally, she chose round pearls to decorate her earlobe.
Anna touched her clavicle and chose a pearl necklace.
Finally, wrap yourself in a warm enough coat.
The coat made of fox hair has a hairy collar and is worth a lot at a glance. Anna has found this point for a long time. It is obvious that women's pursuit of beauty remains unchanged from ancient times to the present and from the inside to the outside.
After doing this, she looked at the time again. It was almost time for Karenin to come back.
Anna walked to the door of the suite with her skirt in her hand. Sure enough, she could listen to the steady footsteps.
The voice has a sense of rhythm, the pace is not big or small, each step is very stable, indicating that the host is attentive.
When the other party wanted to open the door, Anna opened the door, smiling and bending: ”welcome back.”
The man froze for a moment and then regained his composure.
”How do you know it's me? Anna. ” Karenin asked as he came in, then added, ”it's not safe for you to do this.”
”First, there won't be too many strangers knocking on the door. Second, you can hear my step
”Your footsteps are different.”
Karenin looked up and down at Anna and frowned, ”you're wearing too little.”
”Don't you think it's too little to wear. Should I first express my opinion that it's not good to wear like this?” Anna was a little depressed.
After hearing this, Karenin looked at his wife seriously. Finally, he said, ”in my opinion, there is no big difference. You have always been like this.” After that, Karenin picked up the coat next to her and wrapped it up for Anna.
Then he found that his wife was looking at him again.
