Norman, who was Linda's father, was currently serving time in prison. In the extended circle of the Benett family, Elisa found herself with only one close relative remaining, Linda.
This revelation left Will pondering in confusion, "I've never heard Elisa mention an uncle before. How did he suddenly come into the picture?"
"Actually, we reconnected during my trip to Moranta with Gareth," Elisa explained, addressing Will's curiosity. She offered a straightforward explanation, choosing transparency in her response.
Catching on, Will inquired further, "Has your uncle also traveled to Bayswe?"
"Yes," Elisa confirmed honestly.
Will, choosing his words carefully, suggested, "Why don't you invite your uncle to join us for dinner? It would be a good opportunity for me to meet him and extend my greetings."
Being considerate and respectful of boundaries, Will understood that he and Elisa were not yet in a formal relationship. His suggestion caught Elisa off guard, prompting a surprised reaction from her.
Upon noticing Elisa's reaction, Will swiftly clarified, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought, since he's here and being an elder, I should..."
"I get it," Elisa interrupted, understanding his intentions. "My uncle has his own plans. You should focus on the tasks I've given you."
"Right."
Yet, despite Elisa's reluctance to advance their relationship, Will remained resolute. He conveyed his mother's recent words to Elisa, unwilling to give up.
