Chapter 111 (2/2)
His words are calm and organized, and his eyes are calm and authoritative.
”Maybe you have some misunderstanding before, and I think that since you are quite concerned about this issue, I'd better make it clear to you completely.”
”What I mean by death and separation at this moment is not only the death of the body, but also the highest will of man.”
”If you have any questions about our relationship and feelings at this moment, or don't like it, you can tell me now. If this moment passes, Anna, I will not accept any amendment or appeal
”Maybe it's because I just grew up.” Anna said with a smile that she found it better to talk to these two children than to chat with some of her peers. After all, they are always the more real one.
”We are not fools.” Andrea muttered, but did not go on with the subject.
”You should leave now.”
”You're a little heartless, you know? Andre. ” Anna pretended to be surprised and said, ”after you make up with your good friend, are you ready to let me go?””We don't have much time.” Andre bit his lip and looked like he was about to cry.
”Oh, don't worry, honey. I'm just kidding.” Anna quickly pacifies each other, and then the two children wink at her.
”I know.” Said Andrea, with a sly smile.
”I won't forgive you. You are a bad boy.” Anna said with a smile. Andrea blinked and then gave her a kiss on the face.
”Thank you.”
”Thank you very much, Mrs. Karenin.” Charlie kisses Anna on the other cheek.
”You are very lovely.” ”You shouldn't have got married so early. You just have to wait five years,” Charlie said, looking a little sorry
Andre said, with no expression, ”although my uncle is a bit stiff, don't try to hit him. Or I'll fight you, and even if we're best friends, it won't change. ”
”See, he's a babe.” Charlie blinked at Anna. ”He loves your husband.”
Anna kept laughing at Charlie's words, and Andrea rolled her eyes. ”That's my uncle. Although he is old-fashioned, serious, uninteresting, rigid, impersonal, and workaholic, he is my uncle
When Karenin came back in the evening, Anna told him about it.
”You have a loyal admirer.”
”I don't believe that's what Andrea meant.” Karenin didn't take the joke. Obviously, he knew the character of his nephew very well.
Anna changed the subject: ”I was thinking, maybe we can help them.”
”How?”
”Andre can come to our house when he's free, and Charlie can stay with us for a while, if you don't mind?”
”That's feasible. Anna, you can arrange it then Karenin is hanging his tie.
”You had a drink.” Anna wrinkled her nose and sniffed.
”Two cups, great taste?” Kalenin inquired, sniffing his shirt. He was not sure if the alcohol was strong. In that group of drunkards, even if they don't drink, they always get a taste.
”It's tolerable.”
Anna doesn't like alcohol. She doesn't want her husband to be an alcoholic.
”Do you want me to give you a massage?” She suggested.
Karenin looked up at her.
Anna thought that the other side was doubting her skills, so she quickly brightened her hands, white, and looked very beautiful.
”My massage is very good.”
”Anna, why do you do this?” Karenin asked slowly.
”In the book, do you forget how much skier likes to drink?” Anna laughed, trying to change the subject.
Karenin nodded, and it seemed that he did not really go to his heart. Anna was relieved as he turned around.
She let Karenin sit on the soft chair, wash hands and knead each other's neck, the technique is quite skilled.
”Are you free tomorrow?”
”There is no arrangement. What's the matter?”
”I want to go shopping. Would you like to accompany me?”
”What do you want to buy?”
”No, I just want to hang out.”
Anna waited for Karenin to answer. After a while, the latter said, as if thinking.
”Sometimes I don't understand why women go shopping without a planned list, or they go shopping aimlessly.”
”It's not that you don't understand. Sometimes we don't understand ourselves.” Anna said with a smile that she began to tell Karenin some of today's little jokes, all of which belonged to the three children.
”Lucia is very clever. Andre is very cute, though proud. As for Charlie, you don't know how much fun he talks...”
”Do you like children?” Karenin asked suddenly.
”Yes.” Anna replied instinctively, then suddenly realized something, her face a little red.
”That,” she murmured, her hand stopped.
She was about to say something, but Karenin suddenly raised his right hand, took Anna's right hand on his neck and gently brought it here. Then, he looked up at the people in front of him, and with a little effort he pulled Anna down and let her sit on his lap.
”You can hold me.” Karenin said.
Anna couldn't control her blush, and now her earlobe is red. She raised her hands and put her arms around Karenin's neck, gently.
Karenin raised his right hand again and landed under Anna's earlobe, followed the delicate curve of the jaw line to the cusp, and finally wiped her lips with his thumb.
”Are you drunk?” Anna asked in a low voice, her voice trembling.
”No
Very calm reply, Anna wanted to speak, but could not.She thought Karenin was a little drunk.
”Breathe.” Said Karenin in a low voice, low as the October wind, cool and covered with a golden fragrance of wheat fields.
Anna breathed obediently. She did not kiss a person so deeply. She knew that Karenin did not. To be honest, if he had, Anna would be jealous, really.
