Chapter 432: 0432 Meddlesome_1
Taylor Smith returned home just in time to see Ruffy Smith about to leave.
At the sight of Ruffy, Taylor began to feel a headache coming on, "Where are you off to again?"
Ruffy glanced at Taylor, his narrow eyes full of silent and cold resentment. Having not received a reasonable explanation from Taylor about the hospital incident, Ruffy, who was prone to outbursts, managed to keep his cool—a testament to his impeccable upbringing.
——Mainly because the man in front of him was his father.
Seeing his son’s demeanor, Taylor sighed, "It’s not that I deceived you, but in my youth, I owed Mr. Moore a favor. When they came asking this time, I couldn’t simply ignore their request."
"The favor is owed by you, not by me," Ruffy’s voice was ice cold, "You know I’ve never liked being deceived by others."
"But a favor that can be repaid by one visit from you is a very profitable deal."
Taylor walked into the hall behind Ruffy, his voice still elegantly calm, "Sit down. Let’s talk this over properly."
Ruffy turned around, his tall frame standing like a statue, except for the cold smirk lingering on his lips, "What is there to talk about? Today’s events? You should be thankful my temper has improved considerably."
After all, as he got older, a twenty-eight-year-old man with more experiences tended to be calmer than before.
Had it been a younger Ruffy, he might have exploded back in the hospital.
"It’s about Ellen Young."
At the mention of Ellen Young, Ruffy’s eyelids twitched slightly, "I don’t really like dragging her into our issues."
His relationship with Ellen was his business, not a topic for idle gossip.
Taylor’s tone was still calm, "Really? It seems some information isn’t necessary for you, like someone trying to set Ellen up with a match."
No sooner had he spoken than Ruffy strode over, his body tense and emitting a somewhat terrifying aura, "Who’s meddling too much?"
Taylor only looked up at him, "Did you think Ellen was like you, that no one dared to set her up? Ellen is a twenty-four-year-old girl. Aside from her achievements, she’s essentially a woman. Marriage is an inescapable topic for her. Whether she wants to marry is another matter, but you know, the more people who pay attention to her, the more there are who like to meddle."
"You know about the Frost Family, right? Damien Frost has been protecting her. He should have the advantage of proximity, but apparently Damien’s stance is very clear, and the Frost Family doesn’t stand a chance. There was someone who wanted to play matchmaker. Not long ago, the eldest son of the Lynch Family came back; he was supposed to meet Ellen."
Though the Lynch Family isn’t as influential as the Smith Family in Imperial City, they are still a prominent family, and most importantly, a military family. Such a family would be very suitable for Ellen. Besides, Sidney Addison, the person closest to Ellen, is related to the Lynch Family.
That Taylor was privy to the news was because someone had let it slip, after all, while match-making was one thing, these matters ultimately still needed Ellen’s consent.
Without a peep from Ellen, they still wouldn’t dare to take things into their own hands to this extent.
Seeing the chill in Ruffy’s eyes, Taylor’s response was unexpected, "Do you know why he didn’t come? It’s because the news about your actions got around. Now everyone knows Ellen has someone who can’t mind his own business around her."
