Chapter 15 (1/2)

Half a month later, Anna thought they were going to return directly to Petersburg, but apparently Karenin had other plans.

”I want to take you to see my sister.”

Anna pauses for a moment. She knew that Karenin had two brothers and sisters, but his elder brother died very early. It is said that Karenin had a very good relationship with his brother, and his elder sister was two years older than Karenin and married a French diplomat.

”Luid and Maria live in Cote dalgant.”

It doesn't really matter where dalcott is. Importantly, she was on her way to meet Karenin's family.

She likes the word family, which means close relationships.

Although she hardly ever had such a relationship, she knew that it was among most of her relatives in the world.

Look, she found another benefit of marrying Karenin. She would have more family. However, she also has her own concerns, how much will be a little uneasy.

”Alexis, do you think your sister will like me?”

Karenin put down what he had done and said, ”Maria is a gentle woman, and I don't think you will have any conflicts.”

After listening to Karenin's words, Anna was relieved.

They soon packed up and set off, and said goodbye to Mr. north.

On the train, Karenin looked at the bouquet in Anna's hand. She said it was a gift for the Maria family.

At this time, there are not many flowers. The buds are small, but the colors are still bright. There was nothing but a handful, but soon after getting on the train, they were well managed.

His wife wrapped the bouquet with some folded paper and carefully tied a knot with a pink ribbon. Finally, she even cut out a piece of parchment and wrote the words of blessing on it in elegant font.

”Well, you see!”

Anna showed the arranged bouquet to Karenin.

”It's beautiful.”

Her husband gave a positive compliment, so Anna's whole face became a little sweet and greasy.

”I hope they like me.”

”You are my wife and they will accept you and like you. Don't worry about that, Anna

Anna gave Karenin a look that he might not understand and then laughed.

”Tell me about your family, will you? Alexis. ”

”Which part do you want to hear?” Karenin asked.

”All of them.”

”It will take a long time.”

”It doesn't matter. You can speak slowly.” Anna said in a soft voice. For Anna, the family has a very mysterious feeling. Because have not had, so will yearn for more.

In the past, Anna would not have been around. She seems to be an optimistic person, but she also has a certain stubborn sense of self-esteem.

But now, she doesn't have to worry about anything, because her husband always tells her.

Karenin pondered for a moment and then began with the simplest introduction to the family. He talked about his parents, his brothers Matt and Maria, about his teaching arrangements as a child, and even about Matvey's death.

”When I was young, I was very sad about it. Matvey died before he was twenty years old. He was always the smartest and best of my parents' three children. He was also a very good elder brother. But the disease took his life. ”

Karenin's tone was very calm, as if he were telling someone else's grief, but Anna knew that the more calm he was, the less that was in his heart.

Perhaps as he grew older, he could now narrate the incident smoothly, but at that time, Karenin, who was only 15 years old, must have been very sad to face the death of his brother. Even now, he can finally admit that he was sad at that time.

Anna reached out and took the other's hand to convey her feelings.

”It's over, Anna.” Karenin whispered, ”you don't have to worry about it affecting me.”
