Chapter 45

Karenin's promise is like a hard silk, winding Anna up in detail, and she is willing to be protected in this way.

"What are you laughing at? Dear Pasha Asked Mr. prokhov curiously.

"Oh, nothing." Anna shook her head, but she couldn't suppress the smile.

"I know, Mr. Mann, for the first time."

Mr. prokhov's eyes lit up when he heard Mr. Gorman's daughter, and Anna was sure of something at the moment.

"Miss aurea is really nice. Maybe you won't see a better girl than her."

"You like her, don't you?" Anna asked with a smile.

Mr. prokhov blushed.

"So, no matter how odd Mr. Gorman is, you still want to stay here?"

"I think so." Prokhov laughed and looked down at the account book in his hand.

"Miss aurea is really a good girl, Pasha. You'll see her later." Said Mr. prokhov, with a kind heart.

"Aren't you afraid I'll take her away?" Anna said deliberately. Mr. Gorman went to pick up Miss aurea, so there were only two of them in the shop.

She had thought that Mr. prokhov had any idea of Mr. Gorman. After all, ordinary people could not stand Mr. Gorman's character.

After listening to Anna's words, prokhov was stunned for a moment, then said nervously, "will you?"

Seeing the reaction, Anna didn't want to continue the joke.

"Of course not. Don't worry, prokhov."

"But miss aurea is really very good." Prokhov seemed relieved, but he seemed dissatisfied.

"How do you know each other?" Anna has a wonderful way.

Prokhov laughed again. His eyes were so pure that they didn't match his tall and strong figure, but they were quite lovely.

"It was last year, in January, we met pirates. I escaped, but I had no money. At that time, I also suffered from lung disease, which was dirty and smelly. I wanted to find a job to eat first, but the business people didn't want me. I wandered in Petersburg for three days, until one day I felt dizzy and hungry. I squatted on the ground, and then she appeared in front of me

A man looks like he has seen an angel. Anna thought.

"She gave me food. I was so hungry at that time that I didn't want to die, so I asked Miss aurea if I could take me to work and earn some bread money. Miss aurea was embarrassed at first, but then she agreed

"And then Mr. Gorman turned you down in the first place?"

"No Prokhov said with a smile, giving Anna a somewhat unexpected answer.

"So I said, Mr. Gorman is a good man, though he has a strange temper. He just has a mean mouth. I'm here to help when I get better, and miss aurea has taught me how to read. " Prokhov raised the account book in his hand.

"I didn't know a lot of words before, but I'm much better now."

"To hear that, she is a lovely girl like an angel." Anna sighed.

"Yes." Prokhov quite agreed with this statement.

Another hour later, a carriage stopped outside the tailor's shop.

"It must be Miss aurea!"

Prokhov said excitedly that he ran out. Anna followed. Outside, prokhov almost stuck it on the horse's nose because he was so excited.

The jujube red horse was startled and pedaled its hooves in mid air. The driver immediately stopped it. Fortunately, it was soon appeased.

"Rush out for what!" Mr. gohmann raised his voice and scolded. After his voice landed, a sweet girl's voice rang out.

"Prokhov."

"Miss aurea!" Exclaimed prokhov excitedly, standing erect as a soldier to greet the princess.

And when Anna put her eyes on Miss aurea, she was a little surprised.

It's not that Miss aurea is not beautiful, but that she is clearly a twelve year old girl. So, he likes girls, doesn't he?

Anna felt that it was a little complicated looking at prokhov's back.

Although prokhov was a little excited, and his appearance might not be so noble, in front of aurea, the gentleman's behavior also declined.

Miss aurea came to Anna and said with a smile, "are you Mr. Pavel? I heard Dad talk about you

"Good day, Miss aurea." Anna also said hello.

Miss aurea gave a shy smile.

Although she was still very young in appearance, she was indeed like a princess in the way she treated people.She has soft black hair, which is thin but thick. Today's dress is made of white, but it's very elegant for girls to wear a yellow dress. Wearing a light coat outside, it looks very warm.

It's not the same as Mr. Gorman, who is always too lazy to see people.

Even if it was just such an ordinary greeting, Miss aurea was used to leaning towards her people. Her neck leaned slightly towards the speaker in a slender arc, revealing a little white pearl earrings on her earlobe, which was small and delicate.

"You'll have plenty of time later. Now go ahead, aurea." Mr. Gorman frowned and said his fingers moved around Oria's collar to allow the skin exposed to the cold air to be wrapped in the coat.

"Yes, go first. It's too cold outside." Mr. prokhov nodded in agreement. Only Anna felt the outside temperature again. Then she felt that it was not very cold. However, she didn't care and went in with Mr. gohmann and them.

Prokhov had intended to carry the luggage to miss aurea in the bedroom on the second floor, but Mr. Gorman stopped drinking.

"Wait here!"

Mr. prokhov, like a reproached dog, despondently gave Mr. Gorman his luggage.

"Dad." Miss aurea looked at her father with disapproval.

Mr. Gorman said nothing about it, just let Miss aurea follow.

"I'll be down in a minute." Miss aurea said to prokhov, then looked at Anna and gave her an apologetic smile.

Looking at each other's slow and gentle steps, Anna couldn't help thinking, is she acting like an emperor penguin? Look at each other's thin waist, as if a hand can be encircled. Her shoulders are delicate and her back is straight.

This miss aurea, though not much like Mr. Gorman in appearance, was very close in manner. That kind of temperament has nothing to do with how expensive clothes she wears. It's all from her own.

On second thought, she was clearly a 12-year-old girl. Her face was not fully opened. She had a little round face. There were one or two harmless freckles on the tip of her nose, but her big eyes were very bright. Eyelashes are long, curly and curly, and the tail of the eye naturally has a little radian, as if she has been laughing all the time.

No wonder a man of integrity like Mr. prokhov couldn't resist some evil ideas.

Anna looked at prokhov, who was still staring at the empty aisle, which was empty.

"Prokhov, although I really sympathize with you, I can understand why Mr. Gorman is so mean to you sometimes."

Paedophilia is a disease. It really has to be treated!

Prokhov was a little confused, and then he reacted. "It's not what you think," he said, somewhat embarrassed

"Don't think about it, Pavel." Prokhov said drily.

He blushed. "I just want to stay here. I won't do anything to miss aurea."

"Don't you like her?"

"I like her, but like, like is not..." Prokhov could not speak out. He was obviously such a big man, but he was shy and shameful about such a thing. At last, he said with a straight face: "Pasha, your mind is so dirty."

Anna made a big red face and said, "I'm not dirty! You said it

"I said nothing. I just like Miss aurea. I just want to stay here. " Prokhov said seriously.

"Don't you want to marry her?" Anna asked tentatively.

I couldn't touch his nose for a moment, and then he thought to himself

Anna hesitated and said, "it seems that you are irresponsible."

Prokhov patted Anna on the shoulder, his generous hand didn't use much strength.

"I wish you knew, but leave it alone. Didn't you come to Mr. Gorman to learn his craft? "

Anna looked at the man in front of her in a strange way. Generally speaking, prokhov was the softer one among them, and he knew everything.

So, Anna wondered, was it because prokhov knew that Mr. Gorman would never agree to the marriage?

Although Mr. Gorman has no title and is just a tailor, he is also a rich man. In this era of family values, few daughters of a good family will marry him, for orphans like prokhov, who has no money or power.

Thinking of this, Anna decided not to say more.

Although she thinks Mr. prokhov is a good man, from Mr. Gorman's point of view, it is entirely reasonable not to choose the former.

When she went back in the afternoon, Anna first finished her homework today. Karenin had a visitor at eight o'clock, so she waited until the guest left before looking for him.

"Don't you need to do your homework today?" Recently, Karenin is used to replacing Anna's messy practice with homework. Sometimes he is in a trance, whether he married a child or a wife."I've done it all." Anna said.

She pulled up a chair and sat across from Karenin's desk, where they are now.

Anna looked at her husband with big gray eyes and asked, "I want to ask a question."

Karenin looked at her.

Anna said slowly, "I mean if I was just a poor girl, would you marry me?"

"Do you want the truth or the lie?"

"I," Anna opened her mouth, and then said a little discouraged, "forget it, Alexis. Forgive me for asking such a stupid question. "

She said to herself, "if I were a poor girl, maybe a peasant girl raising geese, we would not have met at all. Even if I did, I didn't have the money to look good. I didn't have a chance to learn a good culture. Even if I don't know where I learned from the upper class, I still have no money, no status, and the probability that we will get married is almost zero. " She finally reached a pitiful conclusion on her own and sighed.

"I feel sick when I think of this fact." Anna snuffled her nose, feeling a little sour.

"You may marry a lady of nobility who is not very beautiful, but is rich and has a title in her family. She may not be as pretty as I am, but at least she will be a decent wife. Although I will marry a man with money, I may not be good-looking

Karenin originally thought it was a little funny when he heard the first half of the paragraph, but later he heard his wife say that he might marry another man. His reason told her that if the hypothesis she said was tenable, there was a great probability that it would be like this. But there is no such thing in the world, if not?

"Anna." Karenin called his wife's name.

Being immersed in a kind of inexplicable mood, a certain lady finally raised her head and looked at her husband.

Karenin looked at his wife, who was already in tears, and his bad mood disappeared. My wife became as usual, a little helpless.

"There is no if. You are my wife, and we are married

"You married me." Karenin stressed.

Anna looks at her husband, from his well groomed hair to his straight nose, and finally to his upper lip, which is thinner than his lower lip.

"You're not as handsome as my husband." Anna suddenly laughed and wiped her tears.

"Appearances are just appearances." Karenin said.

"Most people can't do that." Anna mumbled.

"Just like most people can't really achieve anything in their career."

Anna thought about it and nodded, "you're right. I'm sorry, I don't know why, but suddenly I feel sad. Maybe you can write down this day. Sometimes I have this kind of low tide, which usually happens in... "

What, Anna did not finish, but suddenly blushed.

"What's the matter?"

"No, nothing." Anna was lying on the table, trying to find a hole in the ground.

Karenin was worried. He frowned.

"Anna."

"Really nothing." A muffled sound came from under the arm.

Karenin got up and wanted to pull his wife, but suddenly he seemed to understand something.

The senior Russian official had faced a lot of big waves, but Rao was so, he also became a little stiff. Ten seconds later, Karenin went up to his wife and asked in a low voice.

Little head a little bit.

"Can you go out first?"

"You need a bath, Anna." Karenin did not answer his wife's request. He was completely calm at the moment.

"I'll clean them up. Now, I'll take you to the bathroom, and I'll get you the change. It's nothing, Anna Karenin soothed his wife in a low voice.

His voice was steady and calm, and his wife, who had wanted to dig a hole and bury himself like a groundhog, finally raised his head.

Karenin picked up his wife and didn't go to see it. After confirming that Anna was ok, he took him out of the study.

He took the door of his bedroom, and the servants would not enter his study at night without Karenin's permission.

In the bathroom, Anna took a bath and changed her clothes. She had just spent 15 minutes to calm down.

After all, this kind of thing is embarrassing. She just had no face. It was an embarrassing thing that took at least three days to settle down, but Karenin told her not to wash for too long.

Out of the bathroom door, I saw no one in the bedroom.

Anna was a little relieved, she simply climbed into the bed, her shame heart really need comfort.

Then the door was opened and Karenin came in with a bowl of brown sugar and ginger soup in his hand."Drink this first, Anna."

"How do you know that?" Anna asked.

"You asked Sasha to do it, didn't you?" Karenin replied, and then handed Anna the warm brown ginger syrup.

"You..." Anna felt a little moved, the previous embarrassment automatically rolled to some corner.

"Drink it, you need to go to bed early, Anna." Karenin said.

"What about your documents?" Anna asked after drinking. Karenin took the cup and put it on the table.

"I'll get up an hour early tomorrow." He quilted Anna.

"You can go and read the document. Don't worry about me, Alexis. I'm nothing." Anna said. But Karenin remained unmoved.

"You're afraid of the cold. It's not warm." With that, Karenin tucked Anna in again and went to the bathroom to clean himself.

By the light of the candle, Anna looked at the small cup and laughed happily.

She knew that it was better to enjoy the ordinary warmth of the present than to tangle with the impossible past. Like this, when she is stupid, you can tolerate her, and will not criticize her.

In her confusion, Anna felt Karenin coming back.

She grabbed each other, a dry and warm hand held her, holding her, let her fall into a warm embrace.

"Even if infinity is close to zero, it's still possible, Anna."

I don't know if it's true or in a dream. Anyway, Anna heard such an answer. From a Russian man who is not handsome enough, not romantic enough, some serious, but more lovely.
