Chapter 154: Problem Solved

"Dad, I have to return back to the base." Alexis pressed her lips together and then chuckled, "My friends will lead a search party if I don't return back soon."

Eldred looked sad when she said that. "Are you sure you can't come over to my place? We still have so much to catch up on." Then he lovingly held his daughter's hand and suggested, "Why don't you stay with me during your stay in Celine. You don't have to stay there at the base when your dad's home is empty. I will show you around Celine as well. What do you say?"

Alexis instantly wanted to say yes but she remembered all the unfinished tasks that she had yet to complete. She had to first figure out what to say to the government officials. She had to get out of the quicksand that she was sinking in before she could spend some more time with her father.
