Chapter 48 (2/2)
Karenin nodded: ”trust between husband and wife is very important.”
Anna took Karenin's arm, looked at the legendary Miss Alina, and explained, ”remember what I said about Mr. Gorman's original design for Miss Eliza?”
”Yes.”
”I've always wanted to meet her, just curious. Before that, I thought she would be a very proud person
”She is.” Said Karenin calmly.
Anna said with a smile: ”ah, yes, but I always feel a little different. I can't say it.”
She looked again at Alina, who seemed to be moving in the direction of her own carriage. A young man saw her, called out to her, and went over to make fun of her.
Thanks to the young man, Anna finally saw what Alina looked like.
Skin like snow, high nose bridge and deep eye socket, eyebrows raised, lip color rich like the rose in spring, * and thorny, with wanton publicity and confidence.
Alina's expression seemed to be a little impatient, because the young man began to pester her.
Suddenly, the young man pinched Alina's plump chest with his hands.
Anna thought that the other party's arrogant temperament would be furious, but the latter did not get angry. Instead, she changed her impatient look and gave a seductive smile. Her full lips bit the young man's face and left with a tender smile.
Anna was surprised and blushed at the audacity.
Before she could figure out what kind of emotion was between the two, Karenin's voice came over.
”Don't look at what you shouldn't see.”
Anna mumbled, ”I don't know...”
She did not finish, but took lakarene's hand again.
”But I find it strange.”
”What?”
”You see, I'd like Miss Alina to be a haughty person with a big temper. Do you remember the commotion she caused in the theatre just now? I thought she would be angry at least for the disrespect of that man
The young lady was dressed for the sake of a young lady. The latter's publicity must be due to her family background, and I think her practice is the most effective
”Sometimes obedience is the most effective way to avoid conflict and entanglement.”
Anna thought for a moment and said, ”listen to you, it's true.”
”I think she is a bold woman compared with Miss Eliza, if you say she has a haughty disposition.” Karenin commented lightly.
Anna rarely heard Karenin talk about women.
He had no bad habits and did not seem intimate with others. Therefore, Anna never expected to hear such high praise from him. The most important thing is that you are not praised!
”You think highly of her Anna rapped at her husband.
Although Karenin did not study the relationship between men and women, after all, this was not the field he needed to study before. He is also the first time to be someone else's husband, but with years of intuition in officialdom, he still grasped the point. And it avoids a potential quarrel between newlyweds.
”It's just a matter of fact, not a matter of gender.”
In other words, my evaluation of her has nothing to do with whether she is a man or a woman.
Anna doesn't really mind, but it's very nice to hear her husband's words like this. She also has a question and is more curious.
”Well, what do you think of me? Alexis. ” She blinked for her husband's comment.
Karenin was a bit stunned. He was not a man who liked to show his heart. But his wife's questions and expectant eyes made him unable to refuse. Finally, he gave the answer.
”The right person for me.”
”That's a cheating answer Anna, immersed in a pleasant mood, almost exclaimed. But he forgot that Karenin was not such a romantic person. Sometimes, his way of thinking always showed the simplest straight line in the emotion.”I never cheat, this is the result of careful consideration,” he said with a straight face
Anna's smile grew deeper, and she could not help but close to each other, thinking: who said that Mr. Alexey Alexandrovich Karenin couldn't say love words? It's just that other people don't have the luck.
”I know what I'm going to do.” Anna said.
Karenin waited, and soon his wife raised her hand to cover his eyes.
”Do you smell it?”
Karenin sniffed for a while and hesitated, ”fragrance of flowers?”
”Yes.” Anna took off her hand, her eyes shining.
”Spring is here, isn't it?”
Karenin looked at his wife. The latter's face is small, blush, lips like flowers, a pair of eyes is so bright, people can't help but believe every word she said.
At the moment, no one was around, and Karenin indulged himself once.
Half an hour after the end of the play, Karenin hesitated to kiss his wife on the small mouth.
”Yes.”
Spring has come long ago. After her seemingly absurd proposal to him, spring came to him, and the Russian winter was long gone.
