Chapter 84 (1/2)
The curtain gradually came to a close after a month's work.
Prince yuspov's only son was rescued, safe and sound, but the children of the poor family were obviously not so lucky. One of them was killed alive as he fled.
Anna had never seen Karenin so angry.
He paced the study, smoked a cigarette and sat down.
When Anna went in, she found that Karenin didn't even open the window. The smoke in the room was very heavy. She coughed when she just pushed the door in.
”Go out first, Anna.” Karenin said that his face was tense and his blue eyes were calm and frightening.
”Wait a minute.” Anna said, then went over and opened the window.
She asked nothing and expressed her worry on her face. She just walked over and naturally opened the window to let in the summer light.
Although it is already the setting sun in the evening, it is still beautiful when the fire covers the sky.
”There's nothing wrong with smoking when you're upset, but at least don't close the window.” She went up to Karenin, put her left hand on the latter's arm and said softly.
She did not hear the usual response, but through the way Karenin gazed at her, she knew he understood.
The advantage of marrying this man is that sometimes you don't really need to say too much, but you know that your feelings have been conveyed to the other person's heart.
Anna bent down on each other's lips, and the bitter taste of the cigarette was tasted through her lips.
Astringent, bitter, like the mood that Karenin would not say at the moment. But at least it's a way of sharing.
She closed the door of her study and thought before she left: ”everyone thinks that this man's heart is as cold as a machine, but he has the purest compassion.”
This sacrifice was doomed, and most people understood it, but Anna knew that what made Karenin sad was that there should be no children in this sacrifice.
Because of this incident, the ball was naturally postponed.
A minister was caught, and vorobev was involved, because it was proved that he had a close connection with the minister.
Anna was also a little surprised when she first knew about vorobev, but then she thought, if even she could feel something wrong with vorobiv, Karenin naturally knew.
That night, when Anna leaned against Karenin, the other party talked about it, and in a light tone, proved Anna's conjecture again.
”Vorobev is a wise man, but he was not born very well. He has been with me for three years, and he has done nothing wrong. But unfortunately, he is too ambitious and not calm enough. ”
”If he had waited another two years, he might have succeeded.”
”Anna.”
”What?”
Anna looked up at each other, Karenin was also looking at her, a pair of blue eyes are hiding some emotion. When Anna wanted to distinguish, the man's hand gently covered her eyes.
”I don't like the way he looks at you.”
When she couldn't see things clearly, Anna suddenly heard this sentence. Her right hand, which she had raised, was trying to take Karenin's hand away, but now there was no movement, just the corner of her lip bent up.
”I thought it was just my sensitivity, or you didn't notice.”
”I noticed, of course I did.” There was not even a sense of color in the voice, he said. It would be a bit scary to just look at his expression now, because it's too serious. But Anna was not afraid.
Her hand gently covered the back of Karenin's hand, but did not try to uncover it, just a smile.
”You know it's not my fault, do you?”
”It's not your problem, of course.” Karenin said, a little bit in his own mood.
As soon as his voice landed, he suddenly felt a soft touch coming from the palm of his hand, so that he raised his head abruptly.
The wife was like a cat, after kissing his palm, she stretched out her tongue and licked it.
”You look a little scary now.” Anna said, is still smiling, under the light, that pair of gray eyes will not appear dark, in her smile, only more bright and colorful.
As if it wasn't enough, Anna leaned over and bit Karenin's lips again.
”I like the way you don't frown.” She said it seriously, then tilted her head, leaned slowly towards the other side, and chewed the lip again. Kiss carefully, but look at each other gently.
”I love you the most all over the world, Alexis.” Anna said.
”No matter what others think of me, I always have you in my eyes.”
After she finished, she observed each other carefully, as if observing the lake in early spring. Slowly, Anna felt something in her blue eyes melting slowly like ice and snow.
”Just melt for me?” She asked triumphantly, putting her hands around each other's necks.”Yes, Anna.” Karenin whispered, the kiss fell on the side of his wife's neck. This seems to be his favorite place, extremely delicate and eye-catching.
By the end of June, the minister's execution had been finalized, but the suspect, vorobev, had yet to be examined.
