When it was daylight, Anna woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she felt something furry in her arms, which startled her, but then she realized what it was.

Seryozha muttered a few words in his sleep, his mouth turned up slightly, and he was still soundly asleep.

The boy looked unbelievably happy.

All this seems to be a kind of plump berry in summer, which absorbs the abundance of the whole summer under the sun, and exudes a sweet aroma as it matures.

Anna did not expect to have so many associations in her mind because of Seryozha's appearance.

Everything seems to be far away from her, only happiness is close at hand.

A kiss landed on the boy's curly hair.

Anna looked over Seryozha's head and looked at the man next to him.

Karenin was still fast asleep. If he had been at home, he would have woken up by now.

The man's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his lips were very pale. She had asked Dr. Cullens in private.Although Karenin showed that he was only here for vacation, so as to make those people less suspicious of him, Karenin's physical condition was not very healthy.

Someone like him, with more or less stomach and liver problems, a lot of thinking, at least not bald.Anna smiled.

She got up, so lightly that no one noticed.After washing up, Anna went to the atrium, intending to find something to make her stomach feel better.

While in the courtyard, Ana saw Flamekill.

The blond young man also saw him and gestured.

"Drink coffee early in the morning?" Anna sat down and asked, the bitter taste of coffee wafting in the air.

"Bad habits, ma'am." Flamekill smiled.

Anna ordered something for herself, her eyes turned to Flamekill, and then suddenly asked: "What kind of person do you think my husband Alexei is?"

Flamekill thought for a moment, and then replied: "He is a very capable person."

Anna took a look at the other person, then smiled.

"My husband thinks highly of you, too."

Flamekill was a little surprised by this, and asked curiously, "Can I know how he evaluates me?"

"He said you were a wise man."

Flamekill smiled indifferently: "Sometimes being smart may not be a compliment."

"Oh, perhaps in others. But in my husband's place, believe me, Mr. Flamekill, that's a very high opinion."

"He trusts you. Whether it's your ability or other aspects, I think Flamekill will not disappoint you." Anna said briskly, as if she was a woman who was attracted by the harmonious relationship between her husband and his subordinates. Like a proud and confident wife.

But when Flamekill heard this, his eyes fell on her for a while, until the lady with black hair and gray eyes suddenly raised her eyes and smiled.

"You're up a little later than usual, Alexei. I just want to have some morning tea first, would you like it?"

Flamekill turned to look over to see his superiors pacing up, keeping their eyes level and only drooping slightly as they approached them.Those blue eyes were clear and rational, but when he saw his wife, there was an unconscious warmth.

"Give me a glass of orange juice," Karenin said, and sat down next to Anna.

Vlamekir got up, greeted Karenin, and sat down again.

"Not coffee or black tea?" Anna asked with a smile on purpose.

Karenin understood that his wife was teasing, but he still explained in a calm tone why he wanted orange juice, and he knew that his wife would be happier if he said it out of his mouth.

Husbands are supposed to pursue their wife's little pleasures when they are not busy, as long as it is not degrading or out of order.

"I'll be following Dr. Cullens' advice. While it's not easy to quit them, I'm trying to maintain healthy habits during this time."

"I wish it was a lifetime."

"Anna, don't expect unnecessary things that are impossible." Karenin said lightly, calling the waiter over by the way.

"My God, my God, look at your boss. Mr. Flamekill." Anna deliberately raised her voice, and at the same time pulled Flamekill intimately into the conversation.

Flamekill maintained a smiling expression.

"Although I have always understood that Chief Karenin is a stubborn person, today I understand it even more."

"It's not stubborn, correct me, ladies and gentlemen, it's just because I fully understand myself, and I don't make promises and guarantees at will, so my credit has always been on a very high ladder. If Converted to a credit line that can be borrowed, I am a big customer." Karenin said, it is a kind of ridicule by senior officials, which is rare, but it is not unprecedented.

Anna was flipping through the menu when Karenin and Vladimir began to chat about some allowed public political topics.

"There are fresh raspberries."

Anna looked at the bright red illustration, which said today's special recommendation.She ordered quite a few things, almost double her usual food intake. After listening to Anna's order from the waiter, even Karenin couldn't help but look at Anna suspiciously.

"Are you sure you can finish it, Anna," Karenin asked, adding, "Waste is not a good habit to be encouraged."

"I think it's okay today, I feel very hungry." Anna said, she ordered a lot of sweets, and now she feels a little saliva in her mouth for raspberries.

When the food was served, Karenin did find that Anna seemed to be able to eat it all.

The sweetness of raspberry, the sweetness of cream, the crispness of the small pancakes, and the buckwheat porridge with butter, each dish satisfied her so much that after eating all of them, she felt a kind of ecstasy from her stomach. The long-lost feeling of fullness made Anna wonder if there was something wrong with her, but at this time, Karenin thought it was a good sign.

"Your diet was not normal," Karenin said, as if given the choice between a dieting wife and a binge-eating wife, he preferred the latter.

Anna didn't take Karenin's words as an excuse for some kind of comfort. She thought that people like Karenin, who might not be fat by nature, would not understand this.

God knows how people like them, who always eat cream as a meal, can still maintain a figure as delicate as a corn stalk.Although Karenin does not have any strong interest in sweets.However, he basically has fixed meals for three meals, sits in the office for a long time, and still maintains a thin and good figure.

All of a sudden, she became very interested in food, and Anna felt a little uneasy. She suspected, no, she planned to ask Srudin later.

There are more than a few thoughts in my heart, but I don't want to show it on the surface.

From Vlamekir's point of view, his boss' wife just spent a little while looking at the contents of the empty blueberry jam plate, and then his attention was on Karenin.

Just before they got up after eating, the laughter of several children came through. At the same time, a little boy about five or six years old bumped into Karenin directly and stepped on his leather shoes.

The little boy was frightened and stood there in a daze. After realizing that he had caused trouble, he backed away in fear.

Even children, in this era of distinct classes, can tell which ones are different from them by their clothes and eyes.

"Antony!"

A woman's voice sounded.

The young woman with long hair and slightly plain dress also saw the trouble the boy caused. She hugged the boy's small body, as if she was silently protecting the former, and said, "I'm so sorry, sir."

"It doesn't matter. But you have to tell this child that running inside the house is not allowed. It is not only rude, but also prone to danger." Karenin said, after thinking for a while, he lowered his eyes and said to the child, "I suggest The next time you encounter this kind of thing, you will apologize first instead of trying to run away."

The child was flushed with shame. The young woman patted the boy on the shoulder and asked him to leave first, and then said to Karenin in disapproval: "Your words are a bit too harsh. He is only five years old. Now Some are frightened. When these children are frightened, it is best not to blame them, and to reason with them after they relax. After all, you have not been greatly affected injury, sir."

Anna thought: the girl must have recognized Karenin as one of those fussy rich nobles.

Seeing that the child had gone away, Karenin's tone became a little serious.

"My son isn't much older than him, ma'am, and if he did it, I'd be ashamed as his father before he did. I think the only way to educate them is to educate them in the first place when it happens. is the most effective."

The young woman blushed a little and said, "Sir, your analogy embarrasses me, I am not the mother of this child," she paused and continued, less blushing this time, "but the child It’s also self-respecting.”

"Before having self-respect, I think human beings must first have a sense of shame." Karenin said lightly.

Anna was afraid that this would turn into an argument, and to be honest, she thought that Karenin was right. Although his words were not so warm, but to avoid detours in this era, then Karenin's words were the most correct.

"My husband didn't blame the child, did he?" Anna said to the young girl with a smile, "If he encounters this kind of thing again next time, he apologizes immediately, I think anyone will like that cute girl better." Children. Because he is very brave and well-educated, I think, I should say, he is quite a little man!"

Anna's words successfully comforted the girl, and she laughed in relief.

"You are very kind, thank you, ma'am."

On the way back to the room, Anna took Karenin's arm, and when she walked to the aisle near the window, Anna stopped, then turned her head slightly and said to Karenin: "Look, not everyone can accept the truth. You must add this to the "Rule of Life" that you handed to Seryozha."

Karenin was not surprised that Anna liked to name the words he exchanged with Seryozha casually. He just focused on the way the other party narrowed his eyes slightly slyly when he was talking to her. What did it look like?Karenin thought, ah, it's like that.

Karenin looked silently at the top of Anna's head, to see if there were any pointed ears.Certainly not, and looking away, Karenin thought that perhaps he really shouldn't have read so many strange books to Seryozha.
