Chapter 62 (1/2)

Andrea and they knew the news before breakfast, and all three showed different degrees of excitement.

As Anna walked down the escalator, she saw the most disciplined child she had seen in the last few days.

”The magic of riding lessons?” Anna had a funny look on her face.

”The best!” Said Charlie, and Andre was red.

Anna stepped down and sat next to Karenin, who was reading the newspaper. The smell of ink floated, and after feeling Anna's sight, he lowered the distance of the newspaper. This is to see that they have become the focus now.

Whether his wife or his three children, they all look at him.

”I didn't know you were so interested in riding.”

Karenin thought it over and said, ”I must say that although I intend to take you on horseback, I am not a professional rider.”

”You are always very modest.” Said Charlie, cheerfully.

”Not modesty, but fact.” Karenin said, then he looked at his wife and said, ”I hope you won't be disappointed, Anna. If you need to, I can ask Peter to hire a more professional rider.”

Anna shook her head and said with a smile, ”it doesn't need to be so troublesome, and I know you can do it.”

Karenin felt a little pleased by his wife's trust, so the next orange juice he found quite pleasant.

After breakfast and a little rest, they went out.

Driver Peter and some young servants brought the horses. They were all jujube red, and their long manes were spread out. The difference between them was that the white patches on the body were distributed in different parts, and they looked very gentle.

”Which one is male?” Andrea asked.

”No, young master, these are mares.”

”Mare?” Andre frowns. Anna sees the action and laughs. Because the boy's action is so similar to a certain gentleman!

”The mare is more tame for beginners, Andre.” Karenin said he knew his nephew would sometimes be a bit competitive. It's not a bad trait for a boy, but it also needs to be guided so that he doesn't become a stupid egotist.

”All right.” Andrea showed a reluctant expression, and his eyes swept over the horse. He seemed to have liked it, but he did not shout out first. Karenin gave his nephew some satisfactory evaluation in his heart.

”Choose what you like.” Karenin said, then looked at his wife.

”And you, Anna, which one do you like?”

Anna couldn't help smiling at Karenin.

”I can do anything, when they choose first.”

Karenin showed a look of disapproval, ”it's a little spoiled.” He took another look at his wife, who stepped forward and took his arm.

”But they deserve to be spoiled.” Anna said with a smile, pointing to the three boys.

Obviously, they already have what they like. Charlie and Andrea are interested in the same horse. They don't give in to each other. They just do a little game. Charlie looks at his hand triumphantly and makes a grimace. Andre, apparently willing to lose, turned to the other horse, and after the horse lowered its head and added his fingers, the boy could not help grinning.

The three boys obviously didn't pick the best and the highest two. Some of their upbringing and courtesy had already been engraved in their bones.

”They are already gentlemanly and chivalrous, and I have no doubt about that.” Anna said she seemed confident in the children.

But Karenin's concern is that his wife is still a little immature, in fact, his wife is not very big, in Petersburg circle, she is still young like a little girl. But she always manages her role well and doesn't feel abrupt.

There is a kind of magic in Anna, that is not in line with her age of meekness and wisdom.

She showed the charm of many gestures in front of him, and sometimes she was a little awkward, but very appropriate.

Karenin first considered marriage at the age of 20, when he was about to graduate from college. The choice before him is very clear. After entering the political career, relying on the support of his uncle, he can get a good official position in a few years, and then he can find a suitable wife for himself. Like the people in this circle, through this combination, the two families can be stabilized.

At that time, he also retained the desire of a young man for his wife's idea, but it was obvious that official career could always change some people.

Karenin is not one of them.

Obviously, he is more interested in work than in marriage.
