Chapter 49 (2/2)
Later, on the dining table of the chief Karenin's home, he heard his wife's exclamation.
”If I were a man, I would love her too.”
Anna took a bite of the mushroom and said, ”who can not love her?”
”You are my wife, Anna.” Karenin said solemnly, ”this is an unchangeable fact.”
Anna giggled and almost choked.
”Eat well when you eat.” Karenin frowned and asked the servant to bring another glass of water.
Anna drank the water, calmed down for a while, then nodded, but the smile still lingered on her face.
A week later, Anna gave the clothes to miss Eliza.
”Did you do it?” Miss Eliza was very surprised, and now she was more surprised by the way she first saw the clothes.
”Yes Anna seemed very happy. Mr. Gorman affirmed her efforts when she saw the finished product.
”Don't you try it?” Anna asked.
A smile reappeared on Miss Eliza's face. ”Oh, yes, I'll try.”
When Miss Eliza got dressed and came out, everyone in the room was very surprised.
”Your hair will need to be taken care of later, like this.” Anna was so excited that she went up to Eliza and made a sign with her finger in a wisp of her hair.
Because she was so close, she noticed that Miss Eliza was smiling, but it seemed a little reluctant.
Anna's heart thumped for a moment and asked softly, ”are you not satisfied?”
”Why, it's very beautiful. It's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen!” Said Miss Eliza, with her eyes bent and sweet.
Anna is relieved.
”Please be sure to attend the party at seven o'clock in the evening.” Miss Eliza sent out the invitation. She had already told them before, and Anna would definitely go.
From Miss Eliza's house to the way back, Anna was very happy.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and she began to fancy Eliza in that dress and shine at the ball.
It will be a blessed skirt, like spring, representing love and sweetness.
She was ready at home, waiting for Karenin to return from the Ministry at four o'clock.
Almost as soon as the carriage came in, Anna trotted over with her skirt.
Her excitement was almost undisguised, and even gave her husband a hug in public.
”I'm so happy!” Anna announced.
She let go before Karenin spoke.
”She was satisfied, and Mr. Gorman affirmed me!” She shares this information with her husband.
The words Karenin had intended to remind his wife fell back into his mouth because he saw her excited expression. He said, ”Congratulations, Anna.”
”I want to thank you!” Anna said, looking gently at her husband.
”I couldn't have done it without your support. You don't know how important your actions are to me, Alexis. You're amazing, and I really love you She said the last sentence in a low voice, only two people could know.
Karenin coughed slightly against his lips with his fist.
”It's nothing, Anna.” He said, ”you don't have to thank you so formally.”
”No Anna shook her head.
”If I can be very polite and patient with others, how can I ignore your kindness to me?”
”So I want to thank you and tell you that I love you very much.” She didn't blush at all this time.
After hearing this, Karenin said nothing at once, but said after a while, ”I love you too, Anna.”
Anna looked up and looked at each other in some surprise.
After all, she is a modern person. Some things can be more bold and indifferent, but Karenin has always been the one who talks about dignity.
Don't kiss lips in front of people, don't say romantic intimate words, don't hold hands in publicAnd now, in response to her love words.
But anyway, it's another happy thing.
”I hear you.” Anna said, with her right hand in her heart, she looked at each other carefully, and finally said with a smile, ”here it is. It's delivered.”
Karenin saw her move. At last, after seeing that there was no one around him, Karenin raised his right hand slowly and put it in his heart with some hesitation.
Then he found that this immature behavior made his wife smile very sweet.
Therefore, this behavior was also put in mind by Karenin. Some applicable rules have been revised once again.
Appropriate immaturity can exchange for a smile.
It's a proper exchange.
