Chapter 489: 0489 She is with me now_1

Taylor Smith’s birthday celebration was held at the Smith Family mansion.

The lobby was open for guests to socialize, while the backyard served as a private resting area for the Smith family, inaccessible to others.

The evening was the crucial moment, and not many guests arrived in the morning; those who did were important to Taylor, and he had to personally entertain them. Ruffy was also busy today; he had picked up Ellen earlier to show her where he had lived since childhood.

"You’ve only had dinner at my house once and didn’t get the chance to see my living quarters last time," he said.

As Ruffy pushed Ellen along the corridor, he showed her his personal living space spanning an entire floor of the mansion’s backyard, usually occupied by him alone, with occasional visits from servants and Taylor.

Ellen was frank: "There was no need to see your room then, and I wasn’t interested."

After all, living spaces were fundamentally alike.

"Tsk," Ruffy, understanding her character, gestured around and said, "I wanted you to see the place in advance. If you’re not satisfied, we can move out in the future."

Ellen: "..."

He was already thinking about the future.

At this moment, Ellen had not yet given much thought to it.

She simply glanced back at Ruffy, seeing his calm demeanor, which clearly suggested he wasn’t talking nonsense.

Ruffy’s home was decorated in a simple style; the fact that the entire floor was for him alone meant the decor was rather dark.

The surroundings were adorned with exquisite marble carvings, even the furniture favored a dark style. Yet, abundant lighting prevented a sense of gloom, while still reflecting the homeowner’s preference for a cooler aesthetic.

Calm, disciplined.

That’s how he appeared to others, but Ellen had never seen that side of him.

After bringing Ellen over, Ruffy received a phone call.

It was from a close friend from Imperial City who knew about Taylor’s birthday and had arrived early at the Smith residence to celebrate with Ruffy.

Ruffy’s response was concise: "Get lost!"

The other party: "..."

The role of a close friend is not to take such slights lying down: "What do you mean? At the recent gathering for your dad’s birthday, you’re the one who said we should all meet. Brother Ruffy, you can’t do this to us. Don’t think that just because you’re with Ellen Young, you can do whatever you want..."

Ruffy: "She’s here with me now."

The other party: "..."

The close friend hung up the phone, understanding the hint.

Ellen, overhearing some of the call, said, "Since they’re your friends, you should go and meet them. Today is special, and your dad wouldn’t want you to stay in here all the time."

As Taylor’s only son, he had to embrace the responsibilities of becoming the family head.

After some thought, Ruffy said, "If you get bored here by yourself, there is a cinema and everything—you can call me if you need anything."

Ellen nodded: "I know."

Ruffy looked at Ellen with a mix of concern and reluctance, but today was indeed a special day, and like his father, he had to go down and receive the guests, adhering to basic etiquette.

No matter how irresponsible, one must still shoulder what they are obliged to carry.

Only after Ruffy had gone downstairs did Ellen begin to wander through his house with a touch of curiosity.
