Chapter 42 (1/2)

As Anna had determined before, the dress was a great success.

Mr. Gorman was not a man who would take credit for others. He said that Anna's honor must be given to her. But the latter refused.

”I'm just a poor nameless boy. If you give me this honor, I can't concentrate on learning from you.”

”But you deserve it.”

”If you can give me something to make you feel better, please start teaching me something. Mr. Gorman, I'm not talking about the kind of thing that I have to sneak in on myself, but more substantive. ” Anna said with a smile that she knew she would not refuse.

Sure enough, Mr. Gorman just glanced at her.

After knowing that her character would never retaliate afterwards, his affectation and hypocrisy were totally stingy and unwilling to show.

The proud and mean man gave Anna a white eye.

”If you can't keep up with me, don't blame me for not teaching you.”

”I think I can.” Anna said quickly, very confident.

The green eyed man took a look at her and said sarcastically, ”don't just sound good.”

Anna didn't answer. She just laughed.

Mr. prokhov gave her a cheering look, and Mr. Gorman did teach her to cut every day after that day, and Anna was really learning.

Since she began to understand thoroughly how much trouble her immature practice had brought Karenin, she understood. Rather than keep apologizing, or tangle about whether it is necessary to stop all this, it is better to learn what you want as soon as possible.

After all, a man can conquer the world, and a woman can conquer this man.

Although there are many restrictions on women in this era, it is precisely because of this restriction that women play a decisive role when men handle things.

She has decided that she will take this craft and wear battle armour to gain absolute discourse power for Karenin on the women's side.

Although Karenin didn't know what his wife had decided for him, because of this, Karenin's study returned to its former calm, and the delayed progress of the latter was finally picked up again.

In the previous few days, Karenin thought that he felt quite good to return to the familiar quiet atmosphere, but once the days were more than a week later, there was always something wrong.

At first, he thought it was the problem of tea. After the servant changed the tea and checked the water quality, he discharged the problem. Then he thought whether the books he read were not attractive enough, but gradually ruled them out.

Karenin had a habit.

If he is upset and restless, he likes to pace slowly.

The scope of pacing is not limited to the study. In fact, most of the time, he will choose to step out of the study and go to the corridor or even the restaurant on the first floor.

If you step on the parquet floor, even if you are steady enough, you will make a little noise because of the wood. At first, Karenin thought it was good for him to think. Until now, even if he heard the sound, it didn't help.

He suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't the floor.

The servants in the house have strict work and rest rules. After finishing their work most efficiently, Karenin usually doesn't use servants at night. The latter can always go to rest early. Out of the family's old housekeeper, Colney is the most familiar with his husband. He never bothers him when he doesn't need it.

A sense of emptiness came upon Karenin.

He asked his butler to come.

”What can I do for you, sir?” Corney asked respectfully, even standing is the standard for ten years, the expression on his face is controlled in a state of propriety and humility.

Karenin has always been very satisfied with this look, but now it seems a little strange.

”What's up?” he asked

Although Colney wondered why his husband would ask, he didn't show it. He thought dutifully for a moment, then confirmed it and replied positively: ”no, sir.”

Karenin frowned.

”What's the matter? Sir. ”
