Indeed, people think differently than he does.
Ruffy Smith immediately grasped the meaning and his heart bloomed with joy, "I understand."
He indeed didn't need to go out of his way to prove anything, although he really wanted to make it official. But since Ellen Young didn't care, he could actually find a better opportunity.

There would naturally be a lot of attendees, with almost all the renowned figures of Imperial City's upper-class society present. Making their relationship public then would indeed be the best proof.
Of course, he was still overjoyed. After years of waiting, he finally got his moment under the sun and couldn't help but want to show off a little.
