The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps. 40

Az came out of his room after finishing with the ritual of bathing and makeup with simple makeup. Az immediately went downstairs because his grandfather was waiting for him there.

"You ready?" asked Samuel when he saw the grandson walking towards him.

"As you can see." replied Az.

"Come, we should get there in time otherwise the old man would have blurted at length various kinds of grievances." invited master Samuel.

Az immediately hooked his hand on the grandfather's arm which despite his age was old but his posture still looks firm.

"Are you able to adjust to the tasks you're doing at the company?" samuel asked after they were in the car.

"So far all I can handle is grandfather. It's just...

"What is it?" asked Samuel, interrupting the words of the grandson.

"Only, Devan who sometimes can't resist emotions is quite troublesome considering our task is indeed at a level where many people who have arrogant nature underestimate us easily" Az replied.

"Well, judging from his true nature, this was already very magical since he was still able to endure the treatment of some people who underestimated him. Even his own grandfather and parents had previously made a bet that he would step down on the first day he entered work but it didn't happen for several weeks" Mr Samuel said.

"I also originally thought the same cake. I guess he'll immediately back off seeing some people react when he first sees us coming up with a new look. Well even though he looks furious and upset, he still survives not to vent his emotions." said Az.

"It may be because he is with the handler of his heart." muttered master Samuel.

"Grandfather said something?" ask Az.

"No" replied Samuel.

"How's the problem with the breng*ek Zacki developing?" ask sir Samuel.

"So far all the business of severing family relations has been completed all. We just have to wait for the results of the DNA test to clear my mother's name and it's not long" Az replied.

"Is there no problem with that DNA test?" ask sir Samuel.

"Actually some times there are trying to sabotage the DNA test but the person that grandfather gave to keep the DNA test process managed to prevent it so there is no problem" replied Az.

"What about the other breng*ek man is there no movement and what about the ja*ang woman?" ask sir Samuel.

"Some times he tried to meet me but I managed to avoid him and his men. As for Jasmine, I also did not get any information regarding her other than she had already disappeared during these few weeks." Az replied.

"You better keep your distance from the breng*ek man if you can't see him again. Grandfather discovered that he had an underworld business and he also had a mafia gang that was quite dangerous" said Mr. Samuel.

"Good cake. It is only fitting that up until now Mr. Zacki did not find any news about his daughter it seems that Elliot used the power of his gang to hide Jasmine or maybe he has been suing*his intention is to vent the heartache of being betrayed by Jasmine whom he strongly believes in." said Az.

"What do you think of your relationship with Devan?" ask sir Samuel.

"There's nothing but ordinary friendship. I already consider him like a brother." Az replied.

"Do you not want to try to open up opportunities for your relationship....

"You don't drag on with the past so you can't move on baby. You have to forget everything and live a normal life." said Mr. Samuel.

"I didn't do that because of the past trauma of cake. I just want to focus on training and I really don't have any feelings for him for now. Grandpa certainly knows best that feelings cannot be forced to be present" said Az.

"Well, how do you want to live life as long as you are happy and well, grandfather will not oppose it" said Mr. Samuel.

The car carrying them had arrived in front of Mr. Gerald's residence and the gate of the residence was immediately opened to them. In front of the mansion was already Mr. Gerald and the others including Devan welcomed their arrival with sincere smiles.

"O old man." said Mr. Samuel.

"You too are old if you forget Sam" said Mr. Gerald.

"At least my body and brain are still fine unlike someone who is senile and even forgot to tell his plans to the grandchildren who live with him" said Mr. Samuel made Mr. Gerald snort.

"Dear Az, have you forgotten this old woman?" asked Renata with a sad face.

"How can I forget my mom? I was just busy enough to start working at the company so I couldn't visit my mom" Az replied.

Hearing Az's reply, Renata smiled as she hugged Az's body.

"Why are you getting thinner, baby? Don't put too much importance on work like those men dear. You have to take care of yourself, especially health." said Renata while staring at Az's face and body.

"I'm fine, mama. This is because I exercise and practice martial arts so I have a body like this. It's not skinny mama." said Az.

"Why did you get your daughter to talk outside without letting her in?" ask Mr. Darren.

"Ah I forgot because I was too excited to meet Az. Let's just go inside." said Renata.

They all went inside the Gerald family mansion. At the table there are many dishes available.

"Eating a lot of Az dear, mama deliberately cooked all that so you eat more" said Renata.

"In what order is this dinner actually?" ask Devan.

"Mama just misses Az so much but she never comes to see him. So then...

"Because you can't wait to meet Az, finally your mama held this impromptu dinner" replied Mr. Darren interrupting the wife's words.

"Sorry mama, Az's been too busy lately. How about we go out together this weekend as an apology?" tawar Az's.

"Agree.." cried Renata happily.

"Am I

"Nobody's coming with us this weekend. I just want to be alone with Az." said firmly Renata while looking intently at his son who he interrupted his speech.

"You've been together all the time working in the office so let your mom have fun with Az this once" said Mr. Darren.
