Chapter 783 Stop Pretending

While Benedict jutted his chin in silence, Elise was able to see through the mild-mannered nature hidden beneath his unforgiving behavior. Because of that, she began to feel more comfortable around the man, with whom she then tried to ingratiate herself. 

“Can I depend on you for help from now on, Uncle Benedict?”

Benedict stood in place and looked down, pondering for a short while before he turned around and looked Elise in the eye. 

“We might have fallen out back then, but I never said I’d abandon you.”

Aw! Everyone in the Joslin Family is so kind. At the thought of that, Elise felt her heart melting, extending her arms to hug Benedict, as if Anastasia was hugging her uncle. 

“Thank you so much, Uncle Benedict.”

In that instant, Benedict’s heart raced like a jackhammer as he took a deep breath and tried his best to keep a straight face. Then, he calmly replied, “No worries.” Yes! Yes! My niece is finally doing something to coax me! 

“Ahem!” Benedict pushed her away, intentionally distancing himself from her while pretending to feel annoyed with that.

“Have a little decency, would you? You’re a grown lady. People are going to laugh at you if they see you doing that.”

“They can laugh all they want.” Elise seized Benedict’s arm and said, “Because they’re probably just jealous of me for having such an awesome uncle, so I’m not worried about that at all.”

Upon hearing that, Benedict eventually burst into laughter in amusement, whereupon the two of them proceeded to chat happily while walking away.
