Chapter 1465 There Was No Way to Prove It It was best that she remained in the dark about what had happened until the truth was revealed.
Elisa shook her head, refusing to address him as "Mr. Knowles." "If I call you Mr. Knowles, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break that habit." It was true that she may continue to refer to him as Mr. Knowles if it beca regular habit.
She was also determined not to take his card.
"Uncle Winslow, | really have enough money. Thank you for your offer..." "What did you just call me?" Winslow's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Elisa call him "Uncle Winslow." He had been expecting her to call him "Mr. Knowles." Hence, he was caught off guard by her sudden change of address.
"Uncle Winslow," she said softly.
This time, Winslow's ears perked up when he heard her call him uncle.
When she saw the tears welling up in his eyes, she felt a pang of guilt hit her in the gut.

After Winslow learned of their relationship, he immediately took steps to protect her and even offered her a black card. It was evident that he cared deeply for her.
She shouldn't hold a grudge against him because of her mother's actions.
"If you find it difficult to calluncle, just callMr. Knowles. Or whatever you're comfortable with." It was unusual for Winslow to act this way. He had met with all sorts of situations and people, but he was so surprised to hear Elisa call him uncle that he had to pinch himself.
He wasn't sure if he was caught in a dream.
He was happy to hear her address him with familiarity but didn't want to force her to call him uncle if she wasn't comfortable with it.
Her eyes filled with hope as she heard how much he cared for her.
If her mother hadn't been forced to leave her, she would have been a kind and responsible mother.
But she couldn't confirm her assumptions because she had never met her mother.
There was no way to prove it.
Elisa shook her head. "I can't ignore the fact that we're related by blood. You're my uncle. It would be rude ofto call you Mr.
Knowles." "Are you still angry about what | said about your father?" His lips curled into a warm smile as he heard what Elisa said. His eyes sparked with amusement.
He was so straightforward when he asked her the sensitive question.
However, his smile never wavered.
Elisa didn't respond. She was caught off guard by his question and didn't know how to answer it.

The Knowles family was undoubtedly wealthier than the Befamily.
If she were in his shoes, she would have been even more frustrated if her sister had chosen to marry into a family with less influence and power than theirs.
She understood why he behaved that way.
But she didn't know how to express her thoughts in response to his sudden question.
She smiled awkwardly, her eyes darting away from his.
Winslow could see the thoughts flitting across her face, but he didn't address it to her.
"Alright then, you can take a rest now. I'll get back to work, and we'll have dinner together later tonight.” "Sure." Her eyes lit up at the mention of dinner.
Despite Elisa's refusal, Winslow left the black card on the table.
Meanwhile, Gareth and Thomas had been sent back to the hotel.
At the hotel's top floor, Gareth saw Thomas off before he took the elevator.
