No Chance of Remarriage: Get Lost

Chapter 1456 I Was Too Rushed

The man's lips tightened as he saw Elisa's reaction. "Have you considered that your mother was in a difficult situation?"

Elisa was no longer a child. She understood exactly what he was implying.

Regardless of the circumstances, how could she not have even sent a text message in the past twenty years?

Elisa scoffed, her face a mask of contempt. "I've thought about all the possibilities, but what could have made her abandon her daughter and not even bother sending a single text message all these years? You're her brother, and you haven't seen her in years. Do you really know her well enough to assume her intentions?"

"I severed ties with that country years ago. Your mother… if she really wanted to abandon you, would she have given birth to you? Someone must have threatened her with you and your father's safety. I just couldn't understand why she would be with your father, who had an ordinary background."

The Benett family owned a publicly traded company with a long history.

However, the man dismissed him as "ordinary."

Elisa's eyes narrowed in annoyance at his brazen attitude.

In the end, her anger boiled over as she felt the need to defend her late father.

"I understand that you have an extraordinary identity, but that does not give you the right to speak of my father in such a way. He has always been a loyal man, and he never remarried after my mother left. He has dedicated his life to raising me, and I will not allow you to disrespect him."

Her father was a man of deep affection.

He had faced many challenges, but he had always put his daughter first.

However, Elisa could not sympathize with her mother.

Her mother had abandoned her and her father, and she had never bothered to contact them in all these years.

She even had a scandal of eloping with another man.

There's no smoke without fire.

If her mother had not done anything shameful, why would anyone accuse her?

The man was silent for a moment.

The information she had gathered matched his own.

No one had seen what had truly happened, so no one could judge her without evidence.

All he could do now was protect Elisa while he tried to find out the truth.

"Your father is no longer here to explain what happened in the past, and your mother is missing. Elisa, as your uncle, I must ensure your safety for now."

Protecting his niece was the most basic responsibility an uncle should do.

The man's eyes burned with determination.

Elisa knew that he took his words very seriously.

She knew that his promises were not empty, given the power he held.

He had kept his promises, after all.

If she didn't know that he was her uncle, she would have felt grateful to him.

Now that she knew the truth, she was filled with conflicting emotions.

She was supposed to feel glad to have her maternal uncle around to protect her, but instead, she felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Why couldn't the man understand how she was feeling?
