In the afternoon, Joyce took a short nap and woke up. Today, she didn't plan to go to the company. She
wanted to go to the shopping center to pick out some baby supplies. Ever since she found out that she
was pregnant with twins, her heart had been filled with anticipation. Although there was still no news
about Iris, and she felt a little disappointed, she had to pull herself together. She needed to find
something 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 to adapting and enduring.
She tidied herself up, changed into loose clothing, and Darrin had already started the car, waiting for
her. Joyce got into the passenger seat.
Darrin stepped on the accelerator and set off, heading to the bustling Harrods Department Store Center
in the city center.
Joyce glanced at Darrin apologetically. "Hehe, the prestigious school participant has fallen to become a
driver, bodyguard, and even accompanying 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," Darrin reminded her.
"We can establish another special forces unit. In any case, you should lead a special forces team and
carry out special missions. That would be more suitable. Don't waste your time with me," Joyce said,
leaning against her forehead and looking out the window.
"Commander, do you really think the Commander-in-Chief hasn't considered these things?" Darrin
glanced at Joyce from the corner of his eye, his expression becoming serious.
Joyce straightened her posture. "What do you mean? Has my father assigned other secret missions to
you?"
"Commander, I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that. I've already said enough," Darrin smiled. "Commander,
you don't have to burden yourself. 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 always needed to conceal my identity. In
the eyes of outsiders, I was just an inconspicuous serviceman. So, Commander, you have never heard
of me, have you?"
Joyce nodded. Yes, indeed, she had never heard of the person behind the Silver Eagles.
Darrin glanced outside the window. "Now, I can live in the sunlight, and I 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 forget who they were. Even if they made sacrifices, they might not
be able to clear their name.
"Alright, since my father has assigned you other secret missions, I won't mention this matter again in
the future," Joyce respected Darrin's choice.
After a while, Darrin parked the car in an underground parking lot.
They entered the mall through an express elevator. Joyce was not interested in shopping, so she
headed straight to the seventh floor where the baby and infant products were located.
As the elevator doors opened, she walked to the baby counter and began to browse.
A salesperson approached her with enthusiasm and asked, "May I ask if 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 a baby crib," Joyce replied.
"Alright, let me introduce them to you," the salesperson detailedly introduced 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 and some clothes based on the
expected due date.
While wandering in front of the counter, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure
from the corner of her eye.
At first, she wasn't sure, but after a closer look, she confirmed that it was indeed Reuben. Reuben was
accompanied by the female bodyguard she had seen at the National Hospital last time, or perhaps she
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 to the flashy appearance when she
met him at the National Hospital, he looked much fresher. His silver hair was still eye-catching and
drew exclamations from the salespeople.
Darrin sensed the unusual gaze directed at Joyce and asked in a low voice, "Do you know this person?
They don't seem to be from Pascaylia."
He remembered Luther's warning at noon to be cautious of Rocus people, especially ifthey frequently
appeared in Khebury with unclear motives. The two people in front of them...
He instantly became alert.
Joyce nodded and replied, "I've seen him at Andres' nursery. We're not acquainted."
As soon as Reuben entered, he noticed Joyce. He was slightly surprised 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 must have learned about her identity.
She noticed that behind Reuben was Kiki, whom she hadn't seen earlier due to being blocked by his
tall figure. Reuben had actually brought 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 many things to prepare. I brought her
here to pick suitable equestrian equipment 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 a bodyguard. By his side, he must be
from a warlord and his background must be extraordinary," Darrin thought.
Darrin felt a hint of hostility.
He was about to step forward to protect Joyce when Grizela suddenly stretched out her arm to stop
him. No one could get close to the princess.
Darrin was taken aback. He finally noticed the woman who came with the man. With a simple block,
her strength was formidable. She turned out to be a female bodyguard.
He raised his hand to push her away, but Grizela skillfully deflected his movement.
Darrin couldn't help but be impressed. She was no ordinary female bodyguard; 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 of moves, neither giving way to the other,
neither able to gain the upper hand.
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 had
encountered such an interesting opponent. The desire to win or lose surged 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 called Grizela back.
Grizela immediately let go of Darrin and respectfully walked up to Reuben. "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's thoughts.
Yoshino was the surname, and Grizela was the given name. They were indeed Rocus people.
A slight tremor passed through Darrin's brow. So her name was Grizela, wild yet pure, quite fitting for
her image.
