A Noble Marriage

Penchant www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Noble Marriage [Anna]!    "I will pay an official visit the day after tomorrow."

The man said that, what else could Anna do, but smile and nod.

They weren't going to announce it on the spot now because Karenin said it would damage Anna's reputation.

Reputation, yes, the man took the matter very seriously. Sort of a quaint little flaw, but harmless.

"Then I will wait for you to come the day after tomorrow." Anna said.

Karenin nodded slightly: "I will send a letter of visit tomorrow. I should have sent it a week earlier, but I won't be in Moscow long. I mean, if you think it is a good time to get married, then the day after the wedding I will have to go to France on business for a month."

"I think the sooner the better." Anna blinked for a moment, then asked, "If you are going to France, can I go along?"

"Not without precedent. You may, if you wish. Only," Karenin paused, "I still think such a hasty marriage would make you feel uncomfortable."

"No, not at all."

Anna propped her hands on her cheeks, and she kept looking so happy, as if she were not making some impulsive decision, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"I'd be happy to follow you anywhere." She whispered deliberately, with a bit of a seductive tone.

Karenin coughed slightly unnaturally.

"In fact, I was thinking of doing just that. Considering that you and I are going from Moscow to Petersburg after we are married, it might be uncomfortable for you if you were left alone."

"I like that idea."

Anna praised frankly. "I want a husband to be able to think of his wife at all times, to express that he is in need of her."

When Anna finished, she saw the man stare at her for a moment, not with fear or shyness, but with openness, and at the end she smiled again.

"I see."

What she didn't know was that after her first request to Karenin had not been met, up to that point the gentleman had always taken her words to heart. In his well-organized mind, he often kept modifying some guidelines and ideas because of her whims, so much so that, surprisingly, they were able to keep the same in both times.

And all this, Anna was now unaware of.

"Finally, perhaps you will call me by my first name, Anna, instead of Miss Obolensky?" Anna demanded again as she licked her lips, also fully displaying the somewhat stubborn part of her character.

"As I said earlier, the only time I will change my title is after God has determined that they are the closest thing to each other in existence." Karenin said calmly, then he stood up, approached Anna, took the back of the other woman's hand and kissed it.

"Please be ready, Miss Obolensky."

After being sure of one thing, Karenin was the kind of man who would not back down, and his kind of aura that did not allow him to retreat in politics was unconsciously put into the present.

He gave Anna one last look, his lower lip, which was slightly thicker than his upper lip, pursed gently, and his blue eyes, which showed like understated gems when his eyelashes were lowered and his eyes raised, hit her heart just as easily.

"I will." A smile floated at the corners of her mouth as she replied.

The carriage sparkled, Anna sat inside the carriage, and with her were her older brother and sister-in-law Tauri, who had married over two months ago.

Tauri was the eldest daughter of the Duke Serbatsky family, which was a very prestigious local family in Moscow. Again, it was a marriage of the right family, and like other political marriages, the couple did not come together out of love, but the days were pretty good.

"I notice you are in a good mood, Anna, have you met something happy?" Tauri asked.

She was a little worried before she married that she would get along well with her sister-in-law, but then she realized she was overly concerned; her husband's sister was a mild-mannered girl. Her personality had changed a bit since she got well, but Skewar said it was for the better. Because it's obvious that Anna has become more cheerful.

"Yes, tell me what good things have happened to you, Anna."

Skewar blinked his gray eyes, which were identical to his sister's; he was not yet thirty, well-built, and his whole person presented a calm and affable appearance.

"I don't want to talk about it yet, but tomorrow, tomorrow you will know." Anna blinked.

"We can be so curious when you do." Tori laughed a little.

"If she's not happy to talk, then we shouldn't keep cross-examining, dear." Skewar said happily.

He didn't mean to accuse his wife, but Tauri was a sensitive woman, but it was good that Skewar was an optimistic man, and he said something else that made Tauri quickly drop the matter.

Anna did not listen to what her elder brother was saying, even though it was now night, but she felt like a happy little bird that could not wait to fly to her own sky.

In this era, the fresh air, although there is still a lot of suppression, but the future is so clear that people want to chase.

With such expectations in mind, pillowed with joy and hope, at ten o'clock the next morning, Kalenin's visit letter was delivered.

"Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin?"

Anna's current aunt, the Duchesse de Tellier, was a stern woman, not thin, even slightly fat, but always cold and hard in her pretty face.

This cold hard and Karenin is very different.

Duchess Tellier is like a machine, and the procedure is to maintain the honor of the family. So she arranged for Anna's elder brother, Sikhova, to choose the eldest daughter of Duke Serbatsky's family, and she was ready to start arranging Anna's marriage, but now, it seems, something has changed. As long as there was a girl to be married in the family, the answer was self-evident to any respectable gentleman who came to visit.

"Anna, you know this Lord Karenin?"

Madame Tellier naturally knew Karenin, even if she was only a widow who had lost her husband at an early age, but she had never known any of the famous names in politics.

"We had a conversation at the ball yesterday." Anna replied in a warm voice. There was no way around it; the old woman was not a good match at first glance, and she did not want to wind herself up in this string of explanations.

Madame Tellier asked the high servant at her side to bring her monocle, and then looked carefully at the invitation.

Half an hour later, she asked the servant with her to deliver the written reply to the place where Karenin was staying. During this time, she and Anna no longer had a conversation, even if the center of their talk was dominated by her.

Mrs. Tellier was not in the habit of consulting with others, and since Anna and Skeeva's parents had died early, she was the one who decided everything, and she had no intention of informing Skeeva about it, but her own grandson and granddaughter let it slip.

"Aunt Anna is getting married!"

The two bearish children bickered, and Skeeva's face reddened.

"You can't talk nonsense, stop it now." Tauri said, the two children because of the adult's reaction felt very funny, but said more diligently.

"Shut up!" Skee Wah reprimanded the two nephews in a rare loud voice.

The children were terrified and cried out, and one by one they went to their mother to tell her off.

Skewaw ignored the two bear children, but looked at Anna and said, "What's going on?" Instead of getting angry at Anna, he came close to grunting.

"I don't know, maybe you can ask your aunt." Anna spoke slowly.

"I'll ask her, of course." Skewar grunted again and then burrowed into Madame Tellier's study, leaving Tauri and Anna behind.

Tauri was, after all, a woman, and a little more attentive. She said carefully, "If I am right, that Lord Karenin may have come to propose marriage."

"Maybe." Anna said with deliberate reserve.

Tauri knew she shouldn't ask that, but she asked anyway, "And if it's true, what do you think?"

"It won't be too bad, he's a rare gentleman."

The first time I heard Anna say this, Tauri stopped saying anything, she didn't dare to analyze whether Anna said this from the heart or reluctantly, after all, only from the conditions, this is also a marriage of the right family, but, more or less, thinking about the difference between Anna and the gentleman 14 years, her heart for their own marriage, more or less feel better.

Skee Wah didn't take long to come out, looking a little downcast, perhaps reprimanded. He looked over at his sister.

Anna stepped forward and smiled, "Don't frown, Skeeva."

"Anna, are you happy about this?"

"Skeeva." Tori whispered, trying to stop her husband from speaking so bluntly.

Once a woman is married, regardless of whether the other party is good or bad, will always classify the man into their own protective territory, and will even ignore the fact that he is perhaps not so good, as well as, perhaps he does not need such maintenance.

"Everything waits for tomorrow, is that okay? Skeeva." Anna said sincerely.

Skewer always had no way of taking his sister, so he could only grunt again.

It was night, in front of the desk, the man's right hand slightly pressed on the paper, half-closed eyes looked at the paper, at the end, gently smiled a little. Picked up the pen and wrote again on the top of the paper. The sound of the pen writing on the parchment "brush", seems to be with the drunkenness, in the night, become more and more thick intoxicating ......
