Chapter 44 (2/2)
Anna thought: she still looks radiant, as if her husband's embarrassment didn't affect anything.
From this moment on, Anna felt that she could no longer look upon pettesy with scorn. At least she lived a very magnanimous life.
”I was worried that nobody as shy as we Anna couldn't take care of you, but now it seems that maybe I should come half an hour later.” Betsy winked charmingly, and the crowd began to laugh.
”We would be very sad if you said that.” When Percy's lover saw the former coming, he had naturally left the former lady's side. He went to the other side and kissed Betsy on the back of his hand. I can only see you when people from all over the world come, and Betsy just smiles.
Maybe she knew it all, maybe she didn't. But whatever the truth, this woman is not simple. Anna thought to herself.
The three Duchess gathered around petsey again, and they were very close to her, as if no one could shake their firm friendship.
It's a funny scene, but everyone quickly gets involved in their new roles.
Only Anna and vorensky were present, but no one would expose them.
Since the hostess said, Anna gave the court to each other.
She took time to look at the time, thinking that in 20 minutes she would be almost ready to leave.
Although the food is delicious, after seeing another corner of this circle, those things are like solidified lard, because they emit delicious fragrance, and people mistakenly think it is a kind of delicious food. After swallowing the whole piece, in addition to the nausea between the lips and teeth, it is the discomfort between the abdomen and abdomen.
As she was thinking, Betsy's servant said that Karenin was coming.
Anna opened her eyes wide.
This is Karenin's second visit to Anna's social activities, and the first time, he always came so timely. Anna almost doubted if Karenin knew anything. She was going to try to ask later.
”Usually I can't see you, but now I see you twice in less than two months. It's much more frequent than last year, dear Karenin.” Said Betsy with a smile.
Her tone is soft and graceful, and her eyes are charming, so no matter what she says, she won't be bored.
”If you didn't want to see me in the first place, then I might disappoint you next.”
”You put the blame on me.” Betsy reached out and accepted Karenin's kiss.
”You won't come all the way to meet Anna?” Asked Betsy again, her eyes sweeping over all the people before falling on Karenin's. It seems that she is using her tiny mouth to say that everyone can look at it.
Although Patsy's question is not necessarily for Anna's good, it also makes the latter have some expectations.
But Karenin, after all, was the man who always wrote stereotypes and dogmas on his eyelashes. He said in a calm voice, ”I happen to send Mr. Dawson, an English ambassador, back to the embassy.”
The British embassy was very close to the house of Betsy, and this explanation made everyone's imagination disappear.
Most of them looked at the wife of a senior official again with sympathetic eyes.
Karenin had just come to the master's house, and there was no reason for him to leave immediately, so he stayed for another twenty minutes.
In these 20 minutes, his words were either dry or full of rationality. In short, everyone felt that this gentleman was really a torment here.
Therefore, after Karenin felt that it would not be disgraceful to leave now according to the rules, he said goodbye to the hostess.
This time, Betsy had nothing to keep, and simply allowed the couple to leave.
Just out of the door, a cold wind came.
Anna sneezed.
Karenin frowned. He raised his left hand, stopped his wife's slender waist and took her to his arms.
”Let's go.” Said Karenin in a low voice.Anna gave a soft smile and a low answer.
When they got into the carriage, Anna looked at her husband, without saying a word, and looked at him so brightly.
Karenin had a natural look, but then he coughed gently.
The cough made Anna move a little closer to him, and in the end it was almost the tip of her nose.
Anna bit her husband's upper lip gently and asked, ”am I by the way?”
”I didn't say that.” Karenin has a straight face. Even if you are my wife, you still have to bear legal responsibility for misinterpreting the words of senior Russian officials.
Anna is not afraid. After all, she is the second daughter-in-law of the fighting nation.
She bit her husband's lower lip slightly again, and then let go, as if you had to be honest.
Karenin asked his wife to sit down. At the same time, because he was familiar with his wife's uncooperative mode, he also took a second order and patted her on the knee with his hand.
”I did send Mr. Dawson to the British Embassy.”
”But that's after work.”
Anna laughed and asked, ”then you won't be waiting at the door of pettesie's house in the end?”
Karenin gave her such a stupid thing that he couldn't really do. Then he said, ”I'm back in the house, and korny said that the servant of petsey's family brought a message.”
Anna heard that she pinched Karenin's finger. ”Did you eat?”
”Yes.”
”It's a pity that you shouldn't be able to eat.” Anna said with a pretence of regret.
Karenin looked at her and knew that the other party was not sincere, but he still said: ”it is not helpful to solve the problem because of worry, and more often, he will miss a good opportunity to solve the problem. Because when the body is not healthy, people's stupidity will increase a lot. ”
Anna giggled and said, ”can't you cheat me?”
”I won't lie to you, Anna. I said that. ” Karenin said faintly.
Anna didn't laugh any more at this.
She leaned on the other person's shoulder and asked, ”may I?”
”You've been doing this a little too often recently, and then getting permission from me.” Karenin said, but his right hand gently stroked his wife's hair.
”Oh, I won't do that next time.” Anna wanted to leave, but Karenin pressed her head gently with his hand.
”Next time.” He said.
Anna rolled up a smile and exclaimed, ”it's very kind of you, Alexis. You are my husband. You are so different from others. You're like a treasure. Sometimes I want to put you in my handbag
“…… That's not realistic. ”
”It's just a metaphor.” Anna said with a smile in a way that you shouldn't be so serious.
”Just to appease you.” Karenin said his right hand was still gently stroking his wife's hair.
”You didn't stay that late. Anna, I can see you don't like these. If you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself to do it. ”
Anna froze for a moment, then sighed and let herself slide onto Karenin's lap.
“…… Anna. ”
”I need comfort now, you know. Oh, don't stop. Please go on Anna mumbled. Karenin was, on the other hand, as clever as he was.
”Sometimes I want to be the kind of person who can sacrifice everything for my lover, like the heroine in the drama. It's great,” she burst out laughing. ”It's also fatalistic and tragic, but you didn't give me the chance.”
”You don't have to.”
”It's not a wise decision to sacrifice yourself for others. I don't agree with this irrational view.”
Karenin gave his wife a kiss on the brow.
”Anna, you just need to do what you want to do.”
Anna raised her hand and glided gently between Karenin's eyebrows, and then she laughed heartily. Her dark eyes made a beautiful arc at the corner of her eyes.
”Who said I was not a mistress? Alexei, I want to be a man worthy of you. I want to be your wife, and as time goes on, I can be a better person than I used to be
”I heard a word. Marriage can make the life of two people who love each other boring. I don't believe that, and I'm more and more firm now. Our marriage will make us all better and better. I just want to be like this. ”
”You say such touching words to me, but it will make me more and more selfish. I don't want to be like this, because I really love you. Alexis. ”
Karenin looked at his wife for a long time and then said, ”Anna, you can't be a good actor. So for what you said, the heroine's remarks, even though I am your husband, I have to make a reservation decision”But,” he said after a pause, ”that doesn't make any difference.”
Karenin slightly bent down, let his lips close to each other, printed a kiss, gently rubbed, low voice like some kind of intoxicating wine, invading people's limbs, finally reached the heart of the place, rooted, sprouted, and finally became a solid protection force.
”I promise you can do whatever you want.”
