Chapter 1171 Derek's Promise
Aurelia highly respected personal privacy. For instance, she had kept her family background a secret from Derek.
However, Derek was very serious, and she felt sweet about it, knowing that Derek trusted her.
Out of curiosity, she glanced at Derek's phone. The most frequent contacts in his texts and Facebook chats were with Natalie, and he didn't have many other friends.
To be precise, he didn't really have any friends.
That actress was indeed very beautiful.
It made her a bit jealous.
Later, she discovered that Derek considered that actress a friend.
"Aurelia, I have a senior who's trapped somewhere and needs me to rescue him," Derek didn't deliberately hide it.
Aurelia was his girlfriend; she had the right to know.
Aurelia's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Will you be in danger?"
"No, I've been on missions for so many years, nothing will happen. Trust me." Derek held Aurelia's hand, slightly tightening his grip.
Aurelia suddenly felt that the juice didn't taste good anymore, and the cheesecake mousse wasn't delicious either. Her mind was full of worry for Derek.
"Do you really have to go for more than half a month? I heard Meadowbrook City is a border city of Solstice, very chaotic, and it's near Meadowbrook Sea, which often has incidents. I heard a cruise ship sank there not long ago. Do you really have to go? Can't you refuse?"
"Eddy is one of my mentors. He's being held on Ocean Harmony, I have to go."
Aurelia had been well-protected by her family since childhood and didn't know much about the outside world. What she knew about Meadowbrook City was from her online research.
People are curious, and she thought Meadowbrook City was terrifying, and Solstice was also scary and not peaceful, completely different from Vistalia.
She looked at Derek with worried eyes. He held Aurelia's hand, and she turned her hand over to hold his, throwing herself into Derek's arms.
"I can help you. My family is quite wealthy, and my brother is very capable. I can ask him to find some top-notch bodyguards to rescue your mentor. You don't have to go."
Derek gently patted her shoulder, "I have to go personally, I'm sorry, Aurelia."
Aurelia choked up, lying on his shoulder. Derek trembled slightly, feeling a bit at a loss.
After operating on the edge of danger for so many years, it was the first time a girl cried for him, the first time a girl worried about him so much.
Derek held Aurelia tightly.
If it weren't for the fact that Eddy was his mentor, Derek would definitely refuse.
Derek had gotten used to the stable life now, used to making Aurelia happy.
"Aurelia, I promise you, I will be fine, I will come back safe and sound."
Aurelia sniffled, "Really? Do you promise?"
"I promise, I will be fine."
Derek said, "When I come back, will you marry me?"
Aurelia's eyes trembled, a tear fell, and she didn't answer for a long time.
Derek knew he wasn't worthy of Aurelia.
Although Aurelia had always hidden her identity by his side, he knew she was very wealthy.
Her family was in the real estate business, and both her father and mother were top figures in the industry.
He was just an ordinary bodyguard, unworthy of Aurelia's status.
Derek clenched his hands tightly.
"I thought, I thought you didn't like me that much," Aurelia said, crying.
