Chapter 1676: Why Should I Tell You

In the afternoon, Joyce took a short nap and woke up. Today, she didn'tplan to go to the company. She wanted to go to the shopping center topick out some baby supplies. Ever since she found out that she waspregnant with twins, her heart had been filled with anticipation.Although there was still no news about Iris, and she felt a littledisappointed, she had to pull herself together. She needed to replacesomething to distract her attention.

After all, every matter that arises cannot be solved in a short time.After experiencing so much, she had gradually grown accustomed toadapting and enduring.

She tidied herself up, changed into loose clothing, and Darrin hadalready started the car, waiting for her. Joyce got into the passengerseat.

Darrin stepped on the accelerator and set off, heading to the bustlingHarrods Department Store Center in the city center.

Joyce glanced at Darrin apologetically. “Hehe, the prestigious schoolparticipant has fallen to become a driver, bodyguard, and evenaccompanying me to the department store. I really feel guilty, Darrin.How about I talk to my father and have someone else replace you?Someone who was originally doing office work would be more suitable.You should go back to managing the Silver Eagles.”

"Commander, the Silver Eagles have been disbanded," Darrinreminded her.

"We can establish another special forces unit. In any case, you shouldlead a special forces team and carry out special missions. That wouldbe more suitable. Don't waste your time with me,” Joyce said, leaningagainst her forehead and looking out the window.

"Commander, do you really think the Commander-in-Chief hasn'tconsidered these things?" Darrin glanced at Joyce from the corner ofhis eye, his expression becoming serious.

Joyce straightened her posture. "What do you mean? Has my fatherassigned other secret missions to you?"

"Commander, I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that. I've already saidenough,” Darrin smiled. "Commander, you don't have to burdenyourself. I really enjoy my current life.”

Joyce remained silent. What did he mean by enjoying his current life?Darrin took a deep breath. "As the head of the Silver Eagles, I alwaysneeded to conceal my identity. In the eyes of outsiders, I was just aninconspicuous serviceman. So, Commander, you have never heard ofme, have you?"

Joyce nodded. Yes, indeed, she had never heard of the person behindthe Silver Eagles.

Darrin glanced outside the window. "Now, I can live in the sunlight, andI already feel satisfied."

Joyce didn't say anything. She began to understand Darrin's thoughts.The days of hiding were not easy, and over time, one might even forgetwho they were. Even if they made sacrifices, they might not be able toclear their name.

"Alright, since my father has assigned you other secret missions, Iwon't mention this matter again in the future," Joyce respected Darrin'schoice.

After a while, Darrin parked the car in an underground parking lot.They entered the mall through an express elevator. Joyce was notinterested in shopping, so she headed straight to the seventh floorwhere the baby and infant products were located.

As the elevator doors opened, she walked to the baby counter andbegan to browse.

A salesperson approached her with enthusiasm and asked, "May I askif you are shopping for personal use or as a gift?"

"For personal use. I want to look at some items for boys. I also need ababy crib," Joyce replied.

"Alright, let me introduce them to you," the salesperson detailedlyintroduced various related products to Joyce, including bottles, toys,and various clothes that would be needed.

Joyce had experience taking care of children.

After listening to the introduction, she selected suitable bottles andsome clothes based on the expected due date.

While wandering in front of the counter, she suddenly caught a glimpseof a somewhat familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

At first, she wasn't sure, but after a closer look, she confirmed that itwas indeed Reuben. Reuben was accompanied by the femalebodyguard she had seen at the National Hospital last time, or perhapsshe was his subordinate.

He had actually come to the baby counter to shop?

Joyce was truly surprised.

Today, Reuben was dressed in a casual baseball outfit. Compared tothe flashy appearance when she met him at the National Hospital, helooked much fresher. His silver hair was still eye-catching and drewexclamations from the salespeople.

Darrin sensed the unusual gaze directed at Joyce and asked in a lowvoice, “Do you know this person? They don't seem to be fromPascaylia."

He remembered Luther's warning at noon to be cautious of Rocuspeople, especially ifthey frequently appeared in Khebury with unclearmotives. The two people in front of them...

He instantly became alert.

Joyce nodded and replied, “I've seen him at Andres" nursery. We're notacquainted.”

As soon as Reuben entered, he noticed Joyce. He was slightlysurprised at first, but then smiled and approached her. "Hello, Joyce,we meet again.”

Joyce wasn't surprised. Since they had met at the nursery, he musthave learned about her identity.

She noticed that behind Reuben was Kiki, whom she hadn't seenearlier due to being blocked by his tall figure. Reuben had actuallybrought Kiki along to shop?

"Do you have a day off from school today?" Joyce asked, puzzled."Oh, Kiki just went to the nursery and found out that there are manythings to prepare. I brought her here to pick suitable equestrianequipment for her riding lessons," Reuben explained with a smile,casually glancing at Darrin a few times.

"What a handsome man, full of aura. He doesn't seem to be just abodyguard. By his side, he must be from a warlord and his backgroundmust be extraordinary,” Darrin thought.

Darrin felt a hint of hostility.

He was about to step forward to protect Joyce when Grizela suddenlystretched out her arm to stop him. No one could get close to theprincess.

Darrin was taken aback. He finally noticed the woman who came withthe man. With a simple block, her strength was formidable. She turnedout to be a female bodyguard.

He raised his hand to push her away, but Grizela skillfully deflected hismovement.

Darrin couldn't help but be impressed. She was no ordinary femalebodyguard; her skills were exceptional.

Silently, he countered, launching a silent attack.

Grizela was also not to be underestimated.

In a moment, the two of them had already exchanged dozens ofmoves, neither giving way to the other, neither able to gain the upperhand.

As Darrin sparred with her, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously.

She was using unconventional techniques, agile and seemingly fragile,yet possessing the strength of steel-Rohomes ninjutsu. Impressive!She was evenly matched with him. It was the first time he hadencountered such an interesting opponent. The desire to win or losesurged within him.

Finally, he suppressed her wrist.

"Are you from Rocus people? What's your name?" he asked.

"Hehe, why should I tell you?" Grizela smirked, her lips curling upward.“You're not bad yourself. Who are you?"

“Yoshino. Don't be impolite,” Darrin replied.

Reuben noticed their secret confrontation and frowned. He calledGrizela back.

Grizela immediately let go of Darrin and respectfully walked up toReuben. "Young Master."

At that moment, Kiki held her hand and sweetly said, "Sister Grizela,help me pick some things."

Joyce and Darrin exchanged glances, understanding each other'sthoughts.

Yoshino was the surname, and Grizela was the given name. They wereindeed Rocus people.

A slight tremor passed through Darrin's brow. So her name wasGrizela, wild yet pure, quite fitting for her image.
