Perfect Wife Azraell

Chapter 12: Childhood Story

Queens, New York

Maple trees are planted around a crowded and spacious road. The leaves occasionally fall as the cold winds in mid-October pass, reporting complaints and grievances from the rest of spring. Rolls-Royce Sweptails priced at fantastic prices are cruising on roads packed with vehicles. Not infrequently invite the attention of other road users, do not dare to approach for fear of scraping, even to touch.

"Why use this car?" asked Dareen who was a little confused on Azraell, why use a car as luxurious as this to drive them, this caused the attention of some road users.

Azraell spread his shoulders, "I'll take Eri. And he asked me to bring a comfortable car. I think this car is pretty comfortable."

Dareen frowned, "Isn't red more comfortable?"

"really? I've never tried it. I'll try to wear it next time." The word Azraell made Dareen raise her eyebrows once.

Looking back, Dareen found Aileen asleep. The actual distance between Manhattan and Queens is not so far, it only takes half an hour. However, since last night Aileen was so eager to discuss her grandmother's birthday that she forgot the time, and was sleepy now. It was about to arrive, so Dareen woke Aileen up with a slight shock. "Aileen, wake up baby."

"Mnn? Have we reached ma?" ask Aileen while yawning.

Dareen nodded, "Mn. Get up and get ready, Aileen."

Aileen nodded her head. "Good ma!"

The Rolls-Royce entered a two-storey classic-style building. The building was quite large, with ornamental plants that were lazed and placed deliberately to beautify the house in the Angeles residence. Quiet street scenes, falling leaves and occasional birds traverse the bright blue horizon. It was Dareen's memory.

There were several more cars parked in the large yard of the house. Stepping down, Dareen heard footsteps from inside and found some familiar people appearing.

"Sister Dareen!!" Screaming one of them immediately lunged at Dareen with a hug.

"Kya~ Kak Dareen is getting beautiful! Oh, and look who is this? Aunty's niece sweet~" said the woman.

Dareen smiled, "Selly. How are you?"

The woman was Selliana, the younger sister of Elnos. "Good brother! Some time ago I was messing around with the campus project. Thankfully soon finish~"

"Mn," Dareen murmured as he nodded and did not forget his gentle smile.

"Hello sister Azra," said Sellina to Azraell, who was helping to unload the suitcase from the trunk.

Azraell answered him briefly and with a cold tone of his mainstay, "Hello."

Hearing that, Sellina shuddered and rejoined Dareen, "Kak Reen. How can you marry that walking refrigerator? Look at his face, it's cold."

"Ah, by the way that time only mama, sister-in-law and aunt can attend your wedding. I'm sorry sister, I really couldn't come back then~" Sellina said making Dareen nod.

It wasn't the marriage she really wanted. Contract marriage, which will end in a matter of years, does not need to be visited by the most important people in his life. Especially at that time his grandfather forced to come, although it was forbidden because he was not in good condition, his grandparents could only see his marriage through videocall.

"Grandma Emi, grandpa Luc!!" aileen screeched in excitement as she watched an old pair emerge from the door.

Aileen hugged the two of them together, and the old couple said in their distinctive tone. "The great-grandmother of Emi. How are you, baby?"

Aileen nodded with a pair of narrowed eyes. The circle of pears in his cheeks deepened, "Aileen is good grandma, grandpa. Aileen misses Emi's grandmother and Luc's grandfather!"

"Haha, Grandpa Luc also misses Aileen~ Come here, let grandfather see how gramps gramps face" Lucas said as he crouched down with the help of his cane.

"Hihi, I'm Dareen~'s mama's son" said Aileen to make Dareen silent without responding.

Dareen just smiled gently. Elnos, on the other hand, approached Azra and greeted him. The two along with Dianson and Gerald went in first and were busy chatting about the company and such. For Azraell, talking like this was normal for him, and it was a chat that often sounded boring to him.

"Son, uncle put Dareen on you, yes" said Dianson, leaving Azraell out of his mind.

Azraell smiled professionally and nodded, "I am her husband. It's my duty to take care of him."

Dianson chuckled and spoke again. "Although Dareen looks indifferent and may sometimes seem indifferent to the circumstances around him, but he is actually very caring and good at understanding the feelings of others. He's been through a lot, and that's what made him change."

"Oh, did you want to hear a funny story about Reen as a kid?" elnos asked Azraell.

Azraell himself was a person who did not want and did not care about the affairs of others. For him, it was not something he should know and something interesting when he knew. That is his personality and that is his. But for some reason, Azraell who usually did not want to care about the affairs of others, wanted and felt a little curious about Dareen's life.

To him, Dareen was indeed a quite mysterious person. The life of the 24-year-old woman was even more curious. About who Dareen's husband was, who Aileen's father was, about why Dareen's parents didn't come to her wedding at the time. To be honest, he had not once seen what the father and mother of Dareen looked like. Well, maybe they're too busy to be able to come with their daughter. At that time, a man she did not know came as a guardian of Dareen, a middle-aged man who was once a famous former doctor who now served as a supervisor at a hospital.

Little did Azraell know about the woman, except that Dareen was a general department employee at Vita Corp. Large companies are ranked second only to their companies.

Looking at Dareen who was conversing with Cassandra, Azraell nodded his head, "May."

...***...

"really?" asked Azraell in a slight tone of disbelief.

Elnos laughed and hit the table slowly. "What I'm saying! Dareen once slapped a school bully using chicken thighs on his dinner plate. The boy somehow became Dareen's friend afterwards."

"Really, I heard after slapping the boy with chicken thighs, Dareen was crying because his chicken thighs could no longer be eaten." Elnos.

Dianson laughed, "Remember that after that he once fell off a bike and lost two of his teeth? He looked like you back then~"

"really? Oh right, that time right?"

"Yes, papa still keeps his picture. Take a look," he said, showing his phone screen on Azraell.

On the screen of the phone, a little girl seemed to smile as sweet as cotton sugar. Under the shining sun, in the middle of a simple house yard filled with soft and colorful ornamental plants. Like a painting. For a moment, Azraell was stunned to see that smile. Her eyes involuntarily lifted and fell on the face of Dareen who was still beautiful. But it has a different light bias.

What makes it different, huh?

Looking back down, Azraell was shocked when the picture had turned into a little girl with no two teeth in front. Her lips were filled with chocolate and there were tears welling up in both eyes as the girl cried.

It's Dareen.

"Funny right? And after losing two of his teeth, one day he cried, saying his teeth hurt. It was his own fault for loving to eat chocolate. It was fortunate that his body was not fat, "laughs Elnos.

Hearing that, Azraell subconsciously revealed a faint smile at the corner of his lips that never smiled.
