Chapter 36 (2/2)

”Yes.” Anna was somewhat embarrassed to respond to a sentence, but the anxiety in the heart did not really reduce a bit.

Her hand was a little sour, and when she changed to her left hand, a figure was walking steadily towards her not far away. The porter didn't notice, but Anna, after a few eyes, suddenly walked forward.

”Alexis, is that you?” Anna exclaimed. The man stopped for a moment. Anna ran over happily. When she came near, she could not be her husband.

”How did you walk back?” Anna asked.

”What are you doing outside?” Karenin frowned. From the light of the lantern, he could see his wife's face flushed with cold. He raised his hand to take the lantern.

”I don't think you're back yet, so I'll come out and have a look.” Anna said with a smile. She took her umbrella and hid under Karenin's umbrella, holding each other's arms affectionately.

The porter came in a hurry to get an umbrella for them.

”We have umbrellas.” Anna said gently, saying they could go back to the house by themselves.

”Just want to walk.” Karenin answers Anna's question. He didn't tell the truth. Generally speaking, if he wanted to hide something, almost no one could see through it.

”Oh, you make me a little worried.”

”Not in the future.”

On the way back to the house, Karenin tilted his umbrella to his wife and said, ”don't wait outside next time.”

”I can't guarantee that.” Anna said with a smile.

Anna didn't feel that there was anything about this little episode, but for Karenin, it meant more.

After marriage, it means someone is waiting for you to come home. It's not about interest.

And Anna, when she went to Mr. Gorman's tailor's the next day, found that she agreed.

That was what happened at noon, and she diligently packed up some things, and then the Mr. Gorman called her name for the first time.

”Pavel.”

”What is it, sir?” Anna replied, looking at each other at the same time. She found that Mr. Gorman was looking at her, so she felt a little uneasy. I wonder if the eccentric man will expose her on the spot. But he didn't.

”Why do you want to stay here?”

Anna was relieved. She had been prepared to say something, but now she decided not to. As if this Mr. Gorman really knew her identity, she said seriously, ”I just want to help others.”

”Help?”

”Yes. Mr. Gorman, don't you think women's clothes are a little too harsh now

”Harsh?”

”Ordinary women don't have the conditions to pay attention to dress, while the upper class women are bound in clothes. The uncomfortable clothes are their only choice at present

There was no change in Mr. Gorman's face, but he said, ”you are accusing me of this.”

Anna gave a smile and said, somewhat bluntly.

”Of course not. It's just that if clothes can be more beautiful from the fabric itself or cutting, why can't women's bodies be liberated a little bit. ”Paris's ass” I don't think it's a match for beauty. ”

”Don't you think I won't really want you when you say that?”

”Oh, I don't have time to think about it. I used to have a set of words, but I think you are more likely to drive me out because of this, so I have to try. ” Anna blinked.

”But it's just a handyman, do you understand?” Mr. Gorman said he did not comment on Anna's bold words.

Although handyman is not what Anna wants to do, at least now she can stay.

Anna and Mr. prokhov were at the counter together, and occasionally guests came to the shop to receive them. It's her basic job, but in fact, if you're in a tailor's shop, you can always learn more if you want to.

”He didn't shy away from me, and I could watch if I didn't have anything on my hands.” Anna talked about it with Karenin at dinner.

Today's dinner is lemon chicken, the taste is crisp, not greasy, she feels very delicious.

Karenin's words were still not much, but he was listening to himself. Anna always knew that.

She thought about it and asked, ”actually, I find it a little strange.”

”What?””Why did Mr. Gorman suddenly agree to keep me?” Anna looked at her husband and blinked.

Karenin's wife ate a piece of chicken, didn't you look at me

”I think there's a chance, yes.”

”No, I didn't Karenin continued to cut the food and calmly replied, ”don't forget, I personally don't quite agree with you to do it.”

”That's right.” Anna took a bite of broccoli. Then she looked at her husband, who also looked up at her and said, ”concentrate on eating.”

”Oh.” Anna answered. She looked at the chicken and thought again, and finally decided to eat well.

When Karenin saw that his wife was absorbed in his meal, he was relieved.

That night, Karenin could finally pick up his reading progress.
