Chapter 1242

After chatting a bit about the house, Elysia seized the chance to talk to her dad.

"Dad, in a while, I'll need to take the kids on a little trip. I won't be able to bring you and Mom along, but you two can just stay here and wait for us. I'll come back as soon as I'm done, I promise."

Clayton looked up, worried. "Where are you going?"

Elysia decided to be honest. "I want to take the kids back to the mountains for a bit."

"You mean the place where you used to live?"

She nodded. "Yeah. I promised the people there I wouldn't tell anyone about them, so I can't take you and Mom. Plus, you know how Mom's health is-she shouldn't be traveling that far."

Clayton sighed, clearly uneasy. "But... why now? Is something wrong?"
