Chapter 490: 0490 Ruffy Smith’s Mother_1

Ruffy Smith’s room was somewhere he didn’t like to be disturbed.

But he didn’t say that Ellen Young couldn’t enter, nor did he restrict her from going anywhere.

He lived on the fifth floor, a lofty place.

From there, one could see the nearest grand structure, the Smith Family mansion located in the bustling downtown area, yet it occupied an absolutely vast area, quiet amidst the chaos, and the surroundings were very peaceful.

To have such a building in this location was in itself astronomically expensive.

This also indirectly reflected the status of the Smith Family.

Previously, Ellen Young would not have been interested in where others lived, but because it was Ruffy’s home, she couldn’t help but be a little curious.

She soon arrived at Ruffy’s bedroom.

His bedroom was clean and tidy, showing hardly any signs of life.

Probably because he arranged everything just so, even used items didn’t leave any trace, also indirectly revealing his character.

Moreover, he had a severe obsession with cleanliness.

The whole house was spotless.

The only thing that surprised Ellen Young was that on the wall opposite Ruffy’s bedroom, she discovered a very large portrait.

It was painted, and from the near-photorealistic style, Ellen recognized at a glance who it was.

It was Ruffy’s mother.

She was remarkably beautiful; in the portrait, she wore a red dress, its colors bold and bright, matched with her exquisite and glamorous features, she was like the brightest sun in the world, the most dazzling pearl.

Her lips held a smile, and her eyes looked very tenderly towards the outside of the portrait.

She bore a strong resemblance to Ruffy.

Naturally, Ruffy had perfectly inherited the best aspects of his mother’s appearance. Regarding Ruffy’s mother, Ellen had heard some brief messages.

His mother was a famous lady of high society in Imperial City, noble and generous, and her family background was even more powerful, instantly capturing the attention of Taylor Smith when he first saw her.

She was the most dazzling pearl of Imperial City, with countless suitors, the cherished treasure of many hearts at the time.

Who knows how many of Taylor’s contemporaries still think of this brightest woman of Imperial City to this day.

Unfortunately, she confirmed the saying — "beauty is a tragic fate."

She died too early, passing away in a plane crash the year after Ruffy was born.

For Taylor Smith, it was an unprecedented blow, and at the time countless people expressed their sorrow.

She and Taylor Smith were a match made in heaven, both the most celebrated darlings of Imperial City, a couple many envied as naturally perfect.

This most radiant pearl had thus vanished into the river of time.

Back then, Ellen, who was studying at school, even vaguely heard some rumors about Ruffy’s mother.

Even the teachers at school said that Ruffy’s mother was also a very intelligent woman who might have become one of Ellen’s teachers had she not died.

Ellen had never heard Ruffy mention anything about his mother; perhaps it was a taboo.

He had been temperamental since childhood, which might have something to do with his mother’s early death.

All that was known was that all these years, Taylor Smith had not remarried.

No one knew his attitude, but his true love for Ruffy’s mother was something no one had ever doubted.

The fact that he had not remarried nor caused any scandals over the years, focusing solely on raising Ruffy, spoke volumes.

Ruffy himself was not without impressions of his mother, and this portrait was the best proof.

One glance was all it took for someone to know whose clear likeness it was.
