Chapter 37 (1/2)

Anna thought that life could be more peaceful, but in the next week, it was set off waves.

”It's time you left.” Said Mr. Roman, looking very angry. He said it not to Anna, but to Mr. prokhov.

It started with a dress Mr. Roman made for Eliza, and now it's worn on another person ahead of time.

It's obvious that someone has leaked the design of this dress ahead of time.

Mr. Roman himself was not possible, and Anna, who had never been allowed to touch, naturally, the object of suspicion fell on Mr. prokhov.

”I think...” Anna wants to argue for Mr. prokhov. After all, she thinks Mr. prokhov is a good man, and he seems to have no need to do so. But Mr. Roman stopped her.

”How long have you been here, Pavel, to defend him?” Said Mr. Roman coldly, his green eyes growing deeper.

Anna choked.

Mr prokhov clenched his fist and looked a little like an angry lion.

”I didn't do such a dirty thing.”

”No, I don't care. It's just, to avoid this happening again, I think it's better for you to leave. ” Said Mr. Roman, without expression.

”Leave now.”

”You're insulting me.” Mr. prokhov said bitterly, ”you know that I can accept any other unkindness, but this is the only thing, this one...”

”If you think it's an insult, I apologize.” Said Mr. Roman coldly, his lips pursed, pale with force.

”I think I'm the one with the worst luck.” Mr. Roman stood up as if it were his only support.

”I thought I just had to worry about whether my treasure would be stolen, but obviously, it's not just that.”

He had already pinned the charge on prokhov, with the most sarcastic tone.

”Stop it!” Growled Mr. prokhov.

”I'll find out the truth.” He dropped the words and ran out without Anna's advice.

”Do something.” Said Mr. Gorman, and went straight to the warehouse.

Anna stood at the counter, digesting the matter slowly. An hour later, Mr. Gorman came out of the room and she whispered, ”you don't believe prokhov did it, do you?”

Mr. Gorman looked at her. ”Am I asking you to care about these things?”

Anna decided to shut up for the time being.

That afternoon, Mr. Gorman behaved normally. Anna felt that her intuition was right, but she couldn't figure out why the former did it.

She went home and told Karenin about it.

Karenin just came back at that time. There was a little moisture on his coat. Recently, there was always a light rain in Petersburg. When it rains, diplomacy doesn't go very well.

”Wait a minute, Anna.” Karenin said there were tired shadows in the corners of his eyes.

”Are you tired? Alexis. ”

”It's just the weather.” Karenin gave her a kiss on the finger she had lifted up to touch his cheek.

They're in the bedroom right now.

Anna stood on tiptoe and stubbornly measured the temperature of each other's forehead with the back of her hand.

”No fever.” She was relieved.

Karenin seemed to suddenly understand something and said with a straight face, ”of course I am not ill.”

Anna smiles. ”But you look tired. Would you like to take a hot bath before dinner today? I'll ask corney to put off dinner for a while

Karenin nodded slightly to accept the proposal.

Anna put aside the day's affairs. After all, Karenin was always more important to her.

”You can sit here before the water is ready, and I'll give you a big soft pillow.” Anna took each other's hand, put Karenin in a good place, like a child, put a big pillow in his arms.

”I don't need it.” Karenin said, but he didn't really let go of the pillow.

”You need it.” Anna said positively.

She went into the bathroom and instead of letting anuska do this, she rolled up her sleeves and filled the bathtub with hot water.

And Karenin's eyes just moved with her until she walked into the bathroom and couldn't see.

Soft things are not something Karenin would choose, but if he is already in this place, a little rubbing is not too bad.

Karenin leaned against the pillow, his consciousness was a little hazy, and he almost fell asleep. Only when a soft little hand touched his cheek did he wake up.

”Oh, don't stare at me, I won't steal your purse.” Anna was smiling low.

”You need a bath, and I'll pinch your back.””Anna, it seems that you think of me as a baby.” Karenin pointed out that he did not rely on his wife's hand, but stood up on his own. Although there was still a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows, he had become a little more energetic at the moment. It's like emphasizing something.
