Celebrity House [Anna]

"You didn't really doubt my relationship with Countess Lygia, but since you have the right to ask as a wife, I also have the duty to tell as a husband." Karenin said calmly.

"Countess Lygia did put some wrong hints on me, but I don't think it's something to worry about. But I still told her that you care more about the sisterhood than I do, and you To praise her ideas and ideas for the first time, I suggest that Countess Lygia communicate more with you instead of me."

"Very good." Anna nodded, she bit her lower lip, then looked up at Karenin again.

"You are a very cold man, Alexey," she said, tilting her head.

Karenin took a deep look at Anna and said, "So you don't give me those perfunctory compliments anymore?"

Anna laughed and said bitterly: "It seems that someone is the one who used 'overtime' as an excuse not to go home."

Karenin choked.

Anna seemed a little elated, and she seemed to be elated and full of vitality.

Karenin's eyes softened, he really liked this kind of Anna more.

Anna noticed the change in Karenin's eyes, and then she restrained that expression.

"It seems that you are indeed working overtime." Anna gestured to the pile of official documents with her eyes.

"It doesn't matter, someone will do it." Karenin picked up his own coat, and then picked up the coat that Anna had put on the armrest of the sofa when Anna came in before, spread it out, and motioned his wife to put it on.

Anna glanced at Karenin's movements, then tilted her head and smiled: "Jealousy is unreasonable."

"It's not jealousy, it's just for your health." Karenin said blankly.

Anna curled up her lips and said no more.

After leaving the office door, Karenin said to the young blond secretary: "I need to deal with all those documents by eleven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, sir." Flamekill responded with a chuckle.

Anna glanced at Flamekir sympathetically. She looked at Karenin and whispered, "You shouldn't blame him."

Karenin glanced at Anna: "I don't think he will finish them by himself in the end."

"What do you mean?" Anna was a little surprised, they had already walked to the government hall.

"Wait a minute, you didn't wear a scarf?" Karenin frowned.

"I don't think there's much need for a scarf," said Anna.

Karenin took another deep look at his wife, and then while taking off his scarf, he said lightly: "Jealousy is unreasonable, Anna, I think, nothing will happen when you remember to wear a scarf." of."

This time it was Anna's turn to choke.

She subconsciously refused, but Karenin frowned and told her not to move.

"Be considerate of Dr. Cullens' physical condition, he is no longer young." Karenin joked solemnly.

That wasn't really funny at all, but Ana laughed anyway.

Like, like, fool.

In the carriage, Karenin spread out the blanket and covered Anna's lap. After thinking about it, the latter also removed the blanket and covered Karenin's lap.

"You shouldn't have to work overtime in such cold weather, if you really understand Dr. Cullens." Anna said casually, pressing the blanket.

"How do you know?" Karenin asked.

Anna said: "I noticed a small bottle in your office. You don't put this kind of thing on the table. If you don't need it, they won't be there, even if you need it from time to time, so the conclusion is You need them recently, and in view of our previous unhappiness, you didn't put them in the drawer, because just having one is your consistent purpose, but you may not have the heart to think about it at the moment." Anna said lightly.

Karenin didn't speak, but after waiting for a while, he said, "I've been a little irrational these days. To be honest, it's useless."

"Me too," Anna said frankly.

"After all, we've been married seven years and have a son." Anna glanced at Karenin, who looked at her disapprovingly.

"I said, I don't want you to use them on me."

Anna endured and rolled her eyes in her heart.

"Alexey, I'm a woman, and women are narrow-minded. I'm no different from Betsy. You saw me tricking Lygia just now."

"It's unreasonable to ask me to agree with you in this way. Moreover, no matter what attitude or idea you use to treat others, it is not within the scope of my concern. You have your own rules of conduct, just like me, even if you are a husband , I have no right to interfere in your social life, but I hope that in the family, when I am your husband, you will be honest."

Anna remained silent for a while, and just when Karenin began to feel a little anxious, she nodded in response.

"I try my best."

Karenin relaxed his expression and said, "I'm very happy."

Anna glanced at Karenin again, feeling that he was a little strange,

"What are you happy about, Alexis?"

Karenin said: "When you smile or talk, when I can't find a little flaw, it is definitely not your sincerity."

"No, maybe you're wrong, this is my best disguise." Anna said half-truthfully.

Karenin took Anna's hand and pressed his thumb soothingly on the back of the other's hand.

"Whether you want to disguise yourself as a kitten or a fox."

Anna was silent for a while, "I seem to have noticed how you looked at me before."

Karenin coughed slightly.

Anna looked at Karenin seriously without saying a word. She realized that if she had a chance to look into Karenin's mind, there might be many surprising things besides parts.

The initiative seemed to be slowly shifting to Karenin.

The carriage walked halfway, and Anna reminded: "You haven't said that yet."

"From what I understand, Sruddin appears to be committed to being good friends with Vlamekir."

"Will Flamekill use him?"

"I think Vlamekir just thought it was a rational use of resources," Karenin said.

Anna withdrew her gaze, and suddenly felt that Karenin was definitely not a good person.

"You seem to be implying that I resemble your secretary."

"I don't think I have, Anna," said Karenin.

Ana thought for a moment and then said, "Do you think Flamekill is believable?"

Karenin smiled lightly: "Anna, in that place, ability and interests are the only constraints. As for trust, it shouldn't be something I have to think about."

"He's a stone, naked, and you still used him." Anna said casually, unable to figure out what Karenin was planning.

"He has talent, and I am short of such people right now."

Anna stopped talking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, her left hand was still firmly held in the palm of her hand, warm and dry.

When they got home, Yunina told Anna that Seryozha was still up.

"It's past his usual sleep time." Karenin said after glancing at his pocket watch.

"Master said he needed Madam to say good night to him," said Yunina.

Karenin frowned subconsciously and said, "Could it be that he can't say good night without it?"

Then, Karenin saw a look of deep meaning in his eyes, and after realizing it, Karenin walked towards the study: "I have to deal with something, good night, Anna."

After Karenin left, Anna shifted her gaze to Yunina and smiled.

"I'm going over here."

Unionina knew she had nothing to do next, so she went to other things.

Anna came to Seryozha's bedroom, who was visibly sleepy, but who was still muttering his goodnight kiss.

"I'm absolutely sure you're real, Seryozha," whispered Anna.

Seryozha opened his dim eyes, and when he realized that Anna was behind his window, he rubbed himself into Anna's arms like a bunny, and held her tightly.

"You haven't said good night to me, mother."

"I'm here to say goodnight to you."

"Well," Seryozha muttered, rubbing his soft hair against Anna's arm, "have you reconciled with your father?"

Anna paused as she stroked the hand in Seryozha's hair, and then she said: "We have nothing."

"I know you guys quarrel, I asked Kabidonich and he said couples quarrel, but I've never seen that before. I wasn't sure if it was good or bad, so I asked Yunina, she Say that's fine."

"No matter what, you own us."

"En." Seryozha replied softly.

"Mom, father is very good, you are the best mother in the world, and father is also the best father in the world."

"You are quite right, Seryozha," Anna said in a low voice, almost tenderly.

"It's time for you to sleep, Twist."

Seryozha smiled, curious about his new nickname.

"what is that?"

"A lovely name that belongs only to you."

"Well, I'll like it, just don't say it in front of others, Mom, I'm afraid of being laughed at by them."

"Okay, geeky, I only say it when the two of us are together."

"It's very kind of you, mother," Seryozha muttered, and soon fell asleep.

Anna put out the candle and checked the window before closing the bedroom door and leaving.

In fact, Karenin came to Anna's bedroom when Anna went to Seryozha's to say good night to him.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a somewhat familiar scene.

His pillow was lying quietly on the carpet.

Karenin finally determined that the "carelessness" his wife said was definitely intentional.

Karenin rescued his own pillow, slapped it clean, fluffed it up, placed it side by side with Anna's, and went back to his bedroom to wash.

When Anna came back from Seryozha's room, she washed up before going to bed.

Just as he was about to lie down on the bed, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Anna went to open the door, and outside was Karenin, who had no books.

This should be some kind of hint.

Anna smiled calmly, and before Karenin could speak, she said, "Good night, Alexei, I know you've come to look forward to this." After she finished speaking, she tiptoed slightly and kissed the man on the lips , and then closed the door, the movement was done in one go, without sloppiness, only Karenin was left looking at the door.

Karenin pursed his lower lip and finally didn't knock on the door again.

And Anna in the room only reacted after seeing the pillows on the bed.

"Hey, it's not my fault, he didn't even say hello in advance." A voice said in a reproachful tone,

"Does he have to write an application one month in advance, submit a report on the first intercourse after you agree, and if the writing is not good, you will be sent back to rewrite it?" Another voice said to her coldly.

Anna crossed the bed on Karenin's side. She tried to throw the pillow away, but she didn't.

Moonlight streamed in through the curtains.

She kept her eyes open for a moment without falling asleep.

Three days ago, she clearly thought about it so viciously, but now, just recalling the mood at that time, pretending to imagine her attitude towards Karenin like that, but it seems that she can't do it.

It is true that people are irrational when they are angry.

Anna knew that some things could not be passed so easily, just like at this moment, she was able to treat Karenin freely, but she still had some problems in her heart.

That was not Karenin's problem, it was her own.

On the one hand, she felt that she was such a sharp person, and on the other hand, she felt that she was constantly retreating.

When she retreats a little, life is indeed better, but she keeps doing this, but when there is no way to retreat, will she still be herself?

A chill appeared in Anna's heart, so that several dreams that night made her feel a little physically and mentally exhausted.

This feeling of panic was suppressed by Anna. Whether it was self-esteem or defensiveness, she didn't intend to let others know. She felt that even Karenin was the same.

Life seemed to be on the right track, and Karenin didn't realize it, but he still thought it necessary to invite his brother-in-law to Petersburg, but, not long after his telegram was sent, he arrived from Moscow. There was bad news over there.

"Ah, because of a French governess, my brother is having a quarrel at the moment." Anna read the telegram in a playful tone.

When Karenin came back in the evening, Anna asked Karenin what to do with this matter.

"Obviously, Skiva wants you to come," Karenin said.

"What about you?" Anna asked Karenin for his suggestion, and Karenin frowned.This was indeed at an inopportune time. Karenin’s definition of Skiva was a passionate and good person. Because of his sentimentality, there was no possibility of his career being promoted. Fortunately, he was a contented person.

"It's a quiet period in the Ministry at the moment. If you don't mind, we can take Seryozha with you. I think that neither your brother Skiva nor your sister-in-law Dalia Alexandrovna will be happy. need your attention."

"Be considerate, maybe you have to bring a reliable lawyer, Alexey."

Karenin thought for a while before he understood, and he looked at Anna with disapproving eyes.

"Divorce is a matter that needs to be very cautious. No matter how bad it is, for many things, I suggest not to go to that step. Don't forget, they still have three children."

Another point of disagreement, Anna thought in her heart, but she could understand Karenin's thoughts. After all, in this era, divorce is not so easy, including the losses that both parties will suffer after divorce.

"Of course it was just a joke, Alexei." Anna smiled.

"Don't try to persuade Dalia Alexandrovina about anything, Anna, you have to understand that even if you are a close relative, if you interfere with some things, you will only make yourself a different person inside and out."

"It sounds like you think I'm a nosy person." Anna said deliberately.

Karenin looked at Anna with a peaceful look.

"Don't misinterpret my words, Anna, tell me you won't do that."

"Okay, I won't," Anna said, and for a moment when Karenin's blue eyes looked at him, she did hear something.

She is clearly not the kind of person who is kind and easy to bully, and she believes that the man in front of her knows that too, but there is no lack of protection at all.
