Chapter 52 (2/2)
”I'll ask vorobev to book your ticket and anushika to accompany you.”
”OK.”
”How long do you want to stay?” Asked Karenin.
Anna's one week's joke, so Anna said, ”she's going to joke about it for a week?”
There was a pause in Karenin's preparation for a note.
He looked at his wife.
”Then, half a month?”
Seeing that the other side still didn't move, Anna finally couldn't help laughing.
”Well, well, I'll tell you the truth, a week.”
”It doesn't make sense, Anna.” Karenin said with a straight face, and then carefully noted the note, which, by the way, was made by Anna for Karenin. It's made of parchment. It's very tough. Then it's cut into long strips and strung it up with ropes. The cover is the Russian flag.
Although Karenin didn't say it, Anna knew he liked it.
As a matter of fact, Karenin did not like those fancy things. He was more traditional in nature. He was keen on everything related to the national culture, as well as everything orderly. He never tired of it. You can see that he can read Russian law over and over again.
When there was no need for social intercourse, other Russian officials were fond of going to pubs or theatres, or playing cards in clubs. However, Karenin chose to spend his day in his study.
His life, apart from his work, is too simple. So Anna always liked to put more things into Karenin's life.Although not all of which he liked, the former almost always allowed her to be so mischievous.
This is not indifference, but the greatest permission and favor. Maybe it's not so warm, but you can know the meaning of it.
”The train is coming. I'm going to get on.” She whispered, still embarrassed by the unplanned kiss.
”Yes.” Karenin answered.
Anna plucked up her courage and looked up. The man was looking down at her.
She saw the other side's longer eyelashes. When he lowered his head to relax, he would appear to have a gentle arc of the corners of his eyes. His upper lip was thinner than his lower lip. When he relaxed, he also took a bit of romantic softness.
However, his words are as calm and calm as ever.
But it just soothed Anna's feeling of leaving soon.
”Don't forget the appointment, Anna. Take care of yourself, and I will abide by it
”Good.” Anna laughed, leaving Karenin with the same twinkling eyes.
The train started until she couldn't see the platform. Anna slowly withdrew her sight.
Her eyes were moist. Anuska thought she was crying and took out her handkerchief.
”I didn't cry.” Anna quickly waved her hand. ”It's just so happy, anuska. I really love him.”
Her straightforward words made the young girl blush.
Anna covered her mouth and buried herself in her arms. She felt so happy that she began to miss each other as soon as the train left.
”Are you going to Moscow, too?” A young man's voice rang out.
