Chapter 25 (1/2)

Although Anna cherished the snowman very much, after watching it for two days, she asked the porter to remove it.

Karenin's work will start again, and the guests who visit him will be restored. Anna does not want to doubt the impression of Karenin in the eyes of outsiders.

Although her husband is lovely and reasonable, Anna has no intention of really letting her political opponents or colleagues know about it. She always had to protect her husband's dignity, just as he always gave in for her.

The so-called couple, Anna thought, is probably the case. Feel love, and then don't be stingy to give love.

Since anuska praised Anna's idea of knee pads and scarves last time, Anna has a little bit of a new idea after Christmas.

She did yoga as usual, and then made a plan for herself. After that, she went into the kitchen and worked with Sasha, the cook, on new desserts.

Karenin saw the plan because it was spread out on the desk in the bedroom. He circled out a few grammatical mistakes and did not question it.

If his wife was interested in clothes, Karenin could find no reason to limit her. However, he thinks his wife should consolidate her language course.

He told Anna what he thought, but the latter had no objection with her round eyes.

”I think you are right.”

Since then, Anna put down her schedule temporarily and began to learn more like a good student.

Although it will not be particularly pleasant to study, since she does not need to work hard for her livelihood and has obtained such a noble status, it is always harmless to learn more knowledge worthy of this status. That's what Anna thought.

Karenin hired a French teacher for Anna. He was an old man, about sixty years old, with a pair of wise and peaceful eyes.

Mr. Maillard was also Karenin's French Tutor for three years, and then he returned to France to stop teaching between them.

Karenin has always respected each other, but now, Maillard has returned to Russia and seems to have plans to settle down.

When Karenin asked him about it, the old gentleman blinked his blue eyes full of wisdom and said, ”Oh, my dear Karenin, I thought you had a child, just like a sad father looking for his first French teacher for his child.”

Karenin felt a little embarrassed, but he would never show it.

”I don't have a child yet, Mr. Maillard.” Karenin was more precise.

”I'm here to hire you as my wife's French teacher, and my wife wants to consolidate her language knowledge to meet social needs. And I don't think there is anyone in the circle I know who is more competent than you. I would be very grateful if you would agree. ”

”Look, Cherie, what sweet words! I can't believe it was made by little Karenin.” Mr. Maillard winked at his wife, completely ignoring some of the twitching marks on Karenin's cheek.

”Oh, don't call Alexey Karenin the younger. He's a serious gentleman.” Mrs. Maillard stopped her husband from getting older and younger. She put blueberry pie in front of Karenin.

”Have some, honey. How long haven't you had my blueberry pie?” Mrs. Maillard said lovingly that she had never forgotten the man in front of her. He was a boy, but now he has a wife of his own.

”Three years and two months, ma'am.” Karenin said he ate a blueberry pie.

”You are still like this. You always remember clearly that everything is only organized. Does your wife make you blueberry pie? ” Mrs. Maillard asked with a smile.

People who live to her age sometimes don't need to ask too much to get to know one person from another.

”Yes.” Karenin replied, softly.

”Look, Cade, I said long ago that Alexis would find a good wife. Only a good wife would make him blueberry pie

Mr. Maillard looked strangely blue. He said dryly, ”honey, I understand that better than anyone else.”

When his wife went to pour tea, Mr. Maillard winked at Karenin. ”Believe me, no matter how much you like blueberry pie, you'll be tired of eating it for decades.” After that, Mr. Maillard ate the blueberry pie in his hand. He didn't seem to enjoy it.

Karenin looked at the contents of the little dish, then took another bite carefully. He thought, at least for the next ten years, he would not be tired of it.

Anna heard from Karenin her future French teacher, and her heart began to stir.

Although Karenin could not fully guess his wife's thoughts, he always felt that the reason for her excitement was not only due to Mr. Maillard's knowledge.

Karenin's conjecture was right.At the first lecture, Mr. Maillard thought he liked Karenin's wife very much.

”What was he like as a child?” Anna asked during the break.

”Well, when he was a child, he was more interesting than now. At that time, I told him that earthworms fell from the sky. He didn't believe it, because he thought that logically speaking, there would be no living objects in the sky. I asked him to prove that it took him three days to prove it. In the end, the report he gave me was the most tangled one I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, the report was lost. ” Mr. Maillard had a look of regret, and Anna couldn't help laughing.

”God, I can't believe you did that to him. Alexei's character. If you throw this problem to him, he will be troubled for half a year. ”

”Yes, you are right. He never forgot about it, and after eight months he managed to find logical evidence to refute me, and I don't think he likes rainy days very much Mr. Maillard blinked.

Anna thought carefully in her memory and found that Karenin was not in a good mood when it rained. He would frown and look out of the window.

Anna thought it was because rainy days were easy to suppress, and traffic was often not easy to succeed. So, when he saw the rain, it was not only rain, but also, for a moment, Karenin was worried that the rain would turn into earthworms and fall from the air?

”You are so lovely.” Anna said to Mr. Maillard with a smile.

”I think so, and so do you. I was worried about what kind of wife he would find, or what kind of girl I always thought would marry him. Who can really understand him, excluding those boring girls who are well matched? ” Mr. Maillard sighed, then looked at Anna and said with a smile.

”But I'm sure you're the perfect fit for him, just like my Cherie.”

Anna smiles and says, ”I always feel very lucky. You know, Alexis is a very good person. Sometimes I feel dizzy and suddenly find a treasure on the road, so I have to make myself better. Otherwise, anyone who has some insight will feel that a good treasure has been smashed into my hands. I don't want people to think like that. ”

”So, are you going to be worthy of him?” Mr. Maillard asked curiously.

”Yes, the husband is so excellent, and the wife should also become excellent.” Anna said, of course.

”But I really like to hear from you about his childhood.” She blinked.

Mr. Maillard also blinked: ”no problem.”

Karenin, who was working in the yamen, sneezed inexplicably at the moment.

Two days later, Anna went to Mr. Maillard's house to visit Mrs. mallard.

Although her hair was all silver, she could see that she was a beauty when she was young.

Mrs. Maillard is very tall, but Mrs. Maillard's face is not very good. She put the afternoon tea place in the greenhouse, which is a shed built by herself, which is inclined to the modern glass greenhouse, but the effect may not be so good.

But anyway, it was a very beautiful garden.
