Celebrity House [Anna]

What Anna wanted to say no to, she almost blurted out the words, but Karenin spoke even faster.

"Anna, I think I need your help."

Well, she has no way out now.

"I'll clean myself up, I don't need a bedtime story tonight, mother," said Seryozha tenderly, "because father needs you more now."

Seeing Seryozha walking away in soft fur slippers, Anna could only press between her eyebrows.

"Anna."

Karenin's voice came from the bathroom.

Anna took a deep breath, and then went in resignedly.

Although he had only one intact hand, Karenin took off all his clothes by himself, leaving only a pair of trousers.

"Sit here first, this is brought by Seryozha, I will wash your hair." Anna said, put Seryozha's two small mats painted in powder blue on the bathroom floor, carded Lenin sat down as promised, but couldn't resist complaining that Mazza was too small.

"If he still loves this kind of ponytail when he grows to your height, you don't need to worry, Alexey." Anna responded to Karenin's complaint, and then quickly began to wash Karenin's hair with hands and feet.

To be honest, Anna has no experience in this area. At most, she helped someone wash a Labrador.

Karenin is clearly not a Labrador, he can talk, and he's obviously as picky about washing his hair as he is about his sleeping environment.Or, it was because it was in front of her that this stern senior official showed some of his critical and capricious nature.

"Seryozha's bad habits are exactly like yours." Anna said suddenly, and then refused to listen to Karenin's rebuttal. She took a towel and wiped his hair for the other party, using a little strength on purpose.

After the towel was taken off, Anna laughed.

Because the Karenin in front of her is definitely the most un-Karenin look, his brown-blond hair is messy, like a big dog that needs to be groomed urgently, but he didn't bark his teeth or show a cute expression .

Anna continued to laugh. She brought the comb over to comb Karenin out, and then said to herself, "It really looks more like you this way."

"Anna, I'm fine. It was just an accident, don't worry too much." Karenin said in a low voice.

When he said this suddenly, Anna froze for a moment, then understood.

"You did it on purpose?" she asked.

Karenin's blue eyes just looked at her quietly.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Anna's lips moved slightly, then she raised her eyebrows and remained silent.

Karenin was suspicious and wanted to ask again, but before he did, he heard a somewhat depressed voice.

"What if that's true?"

"What if, you are really dead?"

Karenin wanted to answer, but Anna lowered her head little by little. She didn't cry, but just covered her eyes with her hands, as if she was about to curl herself into it.What appeared in front of Karenin was not a confident woman, but a fragile influence.

Karenin raised his hand, wanting to give him a hug.If the language is not easy to express at this time, then maybe hugging will be the best way.After all, when he was alone, no one taught him how to comfort others, except that he learned to think logically and analyze what others needed most, sometimes, for example, he would simply want a hug.

It was for Karenin before the age of 15. He thought that he would never use it again in his life, when he became an adult, a husband, and a father, but now he thinks that he needs to modify this article.

"When a person is strong enough, he may not need to hug and comfort himself, but he can still give to others."

Karenin thought so, and he also instinctively wanted to appease the person in front of him, but Anna refused.

Her body made a gesture of refusal, so Karenin's actions seemed a little awkward and ridiculous.

That unnatural expression appeared on his face.

He thought it was the same as before, but it was still different.

Anna raised her eyes to look at the other party, she was not stupid, she knew the meaning of Karenin's gesture, what's more, because of this, she chose to say it.

"Don't." She said, rejecting the other party.

Then she saw a look of frustration appear in the man's eyes.

Anna couldn't help but said, "I don't want to rely on you."

"We are husband and wife, Anna," said Karenin.And then for the first time he heard his wife respond to the question with a nonchalant smile.

"You will hear me tell the truth or lie, Alexey."

Karenin looked at the other party, the previous fragile appearance seemed to be just an illusion, and now a man with sharp advantages and coldness appeared in front of him.

An aroused emotion made Karenin decide to look at the issue temporarily outside his husband's role.

"truth."

Anna was not surprised that Karenin would make such a choice, and she felt that she was respected for Karenin's detached expression instead of connivance.

"I'm only talking about the people around me, Alexey. It's like the thing about Schwarz and Tao Li, and Betsy and her lover, or, the Countess Lygia you praised, which one is it? From the beginning to the end?"

Anna chuckled again, and she brushed a strand of hair from her cheek and tucked it behind her ear.

"Of course, I'm not a dreamy girl like Kitty, who is young, happy, full of hope for life and love. I know myself, I'm the kind of person who knows what I want. I don't judge Kitty's attitude towards Earl Vronsky, in fact, I don't want to stop her, because I always think that it has nothing to do with me. And Tao Li, you thought I gave her that kind of promise irrationally, Because I'm a good person." Anna paused, then continued.

"No, it's not. It's just because I wanted someone to fight back. I just wanted to see what would happen if a woman did that in these times. I did like Betsy , to please you, to exchange for what I need. Remember what I said about the women's college?"

"Look, Alexey, I'm not a good person, you don't need to worry about what will happen to me. I'm not vulnerable, I know who I am all too well. And you, the former you made me not burden, but now that I have it, you have become my burden."

When Anna said the word "burden", she raised her eyes and looked at the other party, which made her so cold.

According to common sense, when a man hears these words, if he is good, he will just turn around and walk away, if it is bad, he might get angry.

But maybe just as Anna has always insisted that no one in this world can replace her, so is Karenin.

He looked at her with a calm look.

"Honestly, that statement really bothers me. But Anna, like I said before, we are husband and wife."

"Don't you understand? I don't trust this relationship."

"That's really a problem," Karenin whispered.

When Anna was still looking at him, he stretched out his hand again, still in exchange for refusal, but instead of giving up like before, he held Anna's hand with some force and stubbornness.

The blue and red gemstone rings reflect each other.

"Before, you didn't wear them all the time, but I have observed that you haven't taken them off recently."

Karenin's words made Anna want to pull her hand out. She wanted to refute, but was stopped by Karenin.

"I don't want to hear your insincere words. Anna, I should have told you that I don't like to hear lies, I like the most truthful things. If you insist on not telling them, then I don't reject myself to find out."

"you……"

Anna was a little annoyed, but couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so this gave Karenin a chance.A tough chance to open her heart.

"Marriage is just a treaty, Ana, with clear logic and clear rights, responsibilities, and obligations. I used to see it that way, and we've been married for eight years. But lately, I've started to think again. You're smart, Anna, as I have said many times, a husband should know this very well, but I do not. Your attitude towards me was strange, eager and distant, and I was convinced later that it was distrust."

When he said the word "distrust", Karenin almost got stuck between his lips and teeth before saying it.

"I don't like to hide. I only tell you, Anna, because I regard you as my wife, the closest person to me. After my parents passed away, my brother and I were fostered at my uncle's house. From then on, I Only thinking about what I need to do, what I can do, not what I want to do."

Recalling these things made Karenin look a little confused, but in the end, they all became calm.

"My elder brother taught me more than my parents. He once reminded me of a sentence, that sentence is 'Don't let your eyes deceive your sight, don't let your ears deceive your hearing', I never I doubted what he said before, and I still do now.”

"So, at this moment, I'm doing what I want to do. I want our relationship to work. I want you to be my wife, my son's mother, Anna, just you."

The tone of Karenin's words was not gentle, as if he was sorting out his documents, one was one, the other was two, the logic was clear, but judging from the content, it was so illogical.

Anna knew that she should pick a lot of faults from it, and she could continue to ignore the other person and ignore those subtleties just for her own feelings as before.

But the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

The man in front of him has always liked to emphasize decent people, people who like to wrap themselves in civil service uniforms or three-piece suits, but now they are not decent at all.

One hand is still bandaged, hair is still wet and unkempt, sitting on a powder blue ponytail.

Such a person, to her, is definitely the biggest challenge in the world.

"We, can we say this in another place next time?"

Karenin waited for a long time in exchange for such a sentence, he froze for a moment.

Anna pulled her hands out, but did not move away, her hands were on her knees, her dress came down to her feet.

"Although I'm not the kind of person who loves romance, I was somewhat disappointed to hear these words in the bathroom."

After she finished speaking, she raised her face and smiled slightly, showing a trace of tiredness and helplessness.

A few months ago, Anna's thinking was how to get out while protecting her own best interests. Now, when there is no way out, let's try to face it head-on.

Karenin could guess Anna's thoughts. After all, they are actually somewhat similar.The difference is that Karenin chooses to move forward unless he is persuaded, and so far, no such person has existed.

"Don't forget the question of decency."

Karenin ended the discussion with this familiar sentence, and also said that he did not mind.

Anna wanted to laugh at this, but Karenin's kiss made it impossible for her to get the words out.

For a long time, the light that leaked in from the window was like golden light, and the fine dust in the air was flying like fine diamonds.

When the light shone on the person in front of her, Anna did smell a warm breath.
