When Karenin entered the bedroom, Grisha patted Seryozha on the arm to wake him up.

"It's not that exaggerated?" Grisha asked curiously.

"My dad sometimes sends flowers to my mum, though usually the day after they've had a fight."

Seryozha swallowed, opened Bambi's eyes, and said as if sleepwalking: "But that's my father."

Seryozha continued to look in the direction of the bedroom, and Grisha said: "How about we go and see?"

"Peeping?" Seryozha frowned. "No, my father said that peeking or eavesdropping is inappropriate."

Grisha also frowned: "My father is just the opposite. He said that a man should learn to eavesdrop and have a keen ear." He wrinkled his nose again after speaking.

"Isn't he right?"

"Well, I don't know, but I suggest it's better not to," said Seryozha.

Grisha was still not sure who to listen to, so he decided not to think about it for the time being.

"Then shall we go play?"

Seryozha looked again at the bedroom, and though he did not want to leave, he did not want his father to think he was eavesdropping, so he nodded and went down with Grisha.

in the bedroom.

The two looked at each other.

Karenin's expression looked very calm, but Anna could still observe his tension from his slightly whitish fingers.

She put away her surprise, the book in her hand was not put down, like a shield, it lay across the distance of two meters between the two of them.

"I have to tell you seriously, I didn't buy these, but Sludin bought them. He thought it would be beneficial for you to mistake them for the roses I bought for you." Karenin said word by word. , a little cautious, if Srudin saw it, he would be pissed off.

"If you do what he does, I will wonder if you are my husband." Anna smiled.

She is not the kind of woman who doesn't know herself. Long ago, she understood the power of a smile to a person, and she mastered the angle of a smile to deal with everything. You can see the gray eyes under the eyelashes at a glance.

There is an instinct that goes deep into the bones, and Anna herself is not completely able to distinguish it.Now that the matter has fallen to this point, she suddenly didn't want to hide it anymore, but asked frankly: "Are you going to ask me again now, is the smile at this moment also perfunctory and fake?"

Although she smiled and looked very confident, her hands were quietly folded under the table.

Karenin, as she could think of, said the appropriate words.

"Never again, Anna."

After Karenin finished speaking, he walked towards Anna. Naturally, he would not do such a thing as kneeling on one knee, but he still bent slightly and gestured the flowers to his wife.

Anna blinked, and she took the flower, getting a kiss on the lips along the way.

"I'll tell you, I don't really like roses," she said, and chuckled again with downcast eyes. "But it's nice to receive flowers, thank you."

Karenin did not show surprise, but nodded slightly: "I remember."

"Sit down, I'll make you a cup of black tea. To be honest, my tea making skills are not bad." Anna stood up and said, holding the bouquet of flowers tightly in her arms, and then gently placed them on the table Today, she plans to pick a beautiful vase later, build them up and put them up.

Anna rang the bell for the maid to bring up the tea things.

On the sofa, Karenin watched the woman's movements seriously, from her soft side face to her white wrists, and finally back to the bridge of the nose and eyes dimly illuminated by the light, wandering slowly Let's take a closer look.

He found that the strangeness before had been replaced by a softness at this moment.

When the mood changed, when the jealousy dissipated, and after agreeing with his wife's differences, Karenin found that everything was not so acceptable.

Maybe it is indeed a little strange, unfamiliar, and there are many differences, but in any case, this moment is enough to make up for everything.

"You keep looking at me, I'm afraid I might spoil the tea." Anna said, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"I just thought I had to apologize for what happened last night and this morning."

The movement of Anna's hands paused for a moment, but she didn't speak, she continued to listen.This was also the first time that she found that she wanted to listen to a certain person from the bottom of her heart, or that she cared.

"I think I feel at a loss because of some of your changes, Anna." Karenin seemed to be reviewing, but also seemed to be stating that he was always so different. In the officialdom, he was cunning and cold, and everyone thought him When he is an ice sculpture without a heart, he has the softest heart.

"People always panic when facing unknown things, and I am not used to letting panic and helplessness control me. My position does not allow me to do this. This is not just about me alone." Karenin said in a deep voice, he calmly analyzed everything about himself, which seemed a bit cold, but the hidden meaning of this sentence made people have no idea of ​​blaming him.

If Anna is any politician, she should understand Karenin's meaning, and there will be a tacit agreement not to mention it, and just expose it.

But even though Anna has an IQ that is comparable to that of a man, she doesn't intend to be as reasonable as ordinary people.

"You mean, it's only me that will make you feel helpless and panic."

Karenin's expression froze for a moment, and then he gave Anna a reproachful look, as if he was complaining that he couldn't say it so bluntly, that would be too shameful.

"But it's the truth, isn't it?" Anna smiled, as if the waste in her chest had disappeared.

Karenin coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment.

Anna knew that it was better to stop, but she couldn't help it, as if she was thinking of mischief, she continued to say slowly: "Admit it, Alexey Alexandrovich, you care about me, I It's special."

Karenin wanted to say that of course he cared, because Anna was his wife, but he quickly remembered what Dolly had said, so he spoke calmly, expressing his feelings in straightforward words that were quite inconsistent with him.

"Yes, Anna, of course I care about you."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then continued: "In order to avoid ambiguity, I think I must fully explain the meaning of the previous sentence. As I have said before, I will love my wife according to the teaching, and I will love my wife according to the teaching, and I will love my wife according to the teaching. My wife is you, so I love you, I have always conveyed this to you, and it became clear to me after Darya Alexandrovna reminded me that maybe you don't like it," Karenin continued after a pause Say, "No, it should be said that I don't like it very much."

"I still don't quite understand the meaning of this statement. It seems to me that what I said is very logical. It is natural for a husband to love his wife, but I also have to think about Dahlia Alexander. Lovina's suggestion. After some assumptions and thinking, I think that if my wife is someone else, maybe I can still control my brain very rationally."

Karenin pursed his lips slightly after saying that, and he looked at his wife, who kept watching him until he stopped before flickering.

"Can you accept and understand my explanation?" Karenin stretched out his hand and took Anna's hand, his tone was softer than ever.

These words may still be so cryptic, but Anna knows that for this man, they are completely straightforward.

Under his rational and logical coat, she did see something that people all over the world might not see.

"It would be base if I was running away now, Alexey Alexandrovitch," said Anna.

Karenin frowned slightly, not understanding what Anna meant.

"Do you think we are in love, Alexey Alexandrovitch?"

After listening to Anna's words, Karenin looked at her.

Anna raised her eyes, and she could read Karenin's thoughts from his frown. In fact, she felt a little regretful in her heart, because she violated her own reason and let her impulsive sensibility dominate everything. As the beginning of the conversation between two people.

Come to think of it, it was she who mentioned love.

If those who knew her knew all this, how could they laugh in shock and disdain? Maybe they would also say, how could a heartless, selfish person like her know how to love?

But after the words were spoken, Anna saw those blue eyes, and the countless excuses in her stomach that could make the words go away were all accumulated in her stomach, which made her feel a little ache, but she didn't want to confide in it .

"Anna." Karenin just called her name.

If it was a few days earlier, if Karenin heard Anna ask this question, he would have frowned and told her the answer flatly, as if this question was not worth his thinking, but now, he is not sure.

For a moment, a man like Karenin also panicked.

"Don't worry." Anna said, and then smiled again, but although the smile was not relaxed, it didn't carry any burden, as if, that was her smile.

"I just, want a request."

"What request?" Karenin asked, his tone relaxed and relaxed.

Anna looked at Karenin, her gray eyes seemed to have a layer of water, but they did not appear weak.

"If I can't, I wish I could leave," she said quietly.

Karenin was silent for a while and said, he thought of Anna's previous sensitivity on the topic of divorce.

"You want a divorce?"

"Not necessarily, maybe, or just not in Petersburg," said Anna.

"I don't understand," said Karenin, pursing his thin lips. "Tell me why, Anna."

Anna looked at Karenin, and said: "I can't tell you, and you can't ask others, if one day I will tell you, or you can understand..."

"You are not confident." Karenin interrupted Anna's words, and the latter was startled for a moment.

"No." She pursed her lips.

Karenin's blue eyes were filled with a cold emotion. He analyzed Anna as if he were analyzing someone else, which also proved from the side that the word divorce made him a little angry.

"Although I don't understand why you are acting like this at this moment, Anna, we will not divorce. I don't ask you to think about my situation, but you have to think about Seryozha."

Anna looked directly into Karenin's eyes, and said: "You know me clearly, and now I am not the kind of person who would be afraid of those things." She approached Karenin, "I am not that kind of good woman, I am selfish and indifferent, that is who I am. Kind of people, don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand." Karenin's eyes moved, and just when Anna was about to say something, the man kissed her lips.

Anna was a little surprised, she instinctively resisted, but was pressed hard by the other party, and then, Karenin let go of her hand.

Anna wanted to push Karenin away, but a warm and dry hand lifted up, took her slightly cold hand, and slowly moved upwards, pressing on the pulse point.

Karenin's voice was low: "You are trembling."

"And you are forcing a woman, even though she is your wife." Anna said sarcastically.

Feeling Karenin's hand pressing on her pulse, before Anna could think of a better way to say it, the former said calmly: "You're lying."

"I didn't," Anna said.

Karenin moved slightly away from Anna's body, then raised Anna's wrist, glanced at it and said: "I learned from Dr. Cullens that when a person is afraid or lying, the pulse and heart always beat faster. "

Anna was stunned, and Karenin gently stroked the skin on her wrist, and said in a low voice, "Don't say that lightly, Anna, it's terrible, I beg you too, think about my mood."

After a while, Anna said, "You did it on purpose."

"Maybe Sludin's method is really good, but I have my own method." Karenin said.
