Apart from Ellen Young, Ruffy Smith could also be considered the favored son of heaven.

He was born into the most prominent Smith Family and was their only heir.

With a temper to match his status, he had been exposed to the finest education from a young age and enjoyed the most perfect of everything.

People around him all looked up to him, and no one dared to speak harshly in his presence.

Furthermore, his looks were exceptionally handsome, and with his illustrious family background and talent, he never lacked admirers.

There were plenty of girls who did crazy things for him.

And he never liked anyone else; he thought those women were simply delusional, never seeing anyone as his equal by birth.

When it came to Ellen, it was like receiving karmic retribution.

When she first appeared in Hadton, she didn’t catch his attention at first glance.

Not until her uniqueness, her calm and indifferent nature became evident did he realize that there really were people in the world who could make him feel affection.

He liked Ellen for a simple reason: she was intelligent, naturally positioned on a high cloud, a figure to be looked up to.

Liking her was so normal.

Nobody could fail to appreciate an outstanding girl, especially those of their class.

There were plenty in school who liked her; it’s just that none dared to be as bold as him.

Her position was too high, so high that even these sons of heaven, who had always looked down on others, would sometimes feel a sense of inferiority.

“You don’t like anybody.”

Gazing into her serene eyes, the smile that he tugged at the corner of his mouth still held a stiffness he couldn’t detect: “But that’s okay. What I want, I have to strive for with effort. If I don’t make an effort, you will like me even less.”

Ellen shook her head: “You don’t need to waste your time on me. With your conditions and status, you can find any girl you want.”

Ruffy Smith laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “If that’s what you’re hoping for, then I’ll change my heart when someone more outstanding than you appears.”

Ellen: “…”

Suddenly she remembered the words she had said to Clinton White.

After saying that, Ruffy Smith left.

He was in no hurry.

It used to be that Ellen was too busy; now she finally had some free time.

They hadn’t seen each other for several years. Ellen didn’t have feelings for him before—how could that change after just meeting for a while?

After Ruffy Smith left, the little black dog rushed over and played happily at Ellen’s feet, still somewhat inexplicably leery of that man.

Ellen patted Blackie’s head and said softly, “There are things even I don’t understand.”

Just like human emotions.

She had never liked anyone, so naturally, she did not understand what it meant to be moved.

But she didn’t dislike anyone either, naturally not Ruffy Smith.

She just felt there was no need for him to waste his time on her.

Blackie stuck out its tongue and rubbed it against Ellen’s palm, making a couple of soft, whining noises with a somewhat youthful sound.

Ellen smiled at Blackie’s behavior.

Having free time could be quite interesting at times.

There was no need to be so busy, no need to stay in the laboratory. Though the idleness was slightly unsettling, it was also comfortable.

No wonder her grandfather had spent so many years here, not wanting to go anywhere else.

Just then, Lucy Wood called, her voice cautious as she asked Ellen, “Ellen, what are you doing right now? Are you cooking? You haven’t seen the news online, have you?”

Her question was so unnecessary that it immediately made it clear something bad must have happened.
