Chapter 601

Leonardo replied, “Let’s be real, good looking folks, male or female, are more popular I have no interest in being a social pariah

Cornelia butted in, “Is it really okay to compare yourself to a product?“

Leonardo retorted, “I can’t win with you just stop talking to me.”

Marcus chimed in, “You should be nicer to Cornelia‘

Before Leonardo could finish his sentence, “Cornelia is the one picking on me, and you’re on her side…” He suddenly realized something. “Marcus, are you into Cornelia? Looking to put a ring on it?”

No need to guess! He already put a ring on Cornelia.

The thought made Marcus day, and he cheerfully replied. “Take a guess.”

Leonardo was left speechless.

“Who’s getting married?” The voice of Cameron, tonight’s host, rang out a few meters behind them.

He laughed and walked over, “Marcus, heard you were here, and you brought your wife. I’ve been waiting to see you. My dad’s tied up with the guests, so he sent me to greet

you

Marcus glanced at Cameron, replying nonchalantly. “The air’s nice out here.”

Cameron didn’t dare to ask further, not knowing if Marcus was genuinely enjoying the air or if there was a hidden meaning

Marcus was like a mountain to him, one that seemed impossible to overcome.

Cameron looked around, only seeing Cornelia and no unfamiliar women, “Marcus, where’s your wife?”

Leonardo stepped in to explain, “His wife? The only girl here is Cornelia. The guests haven’t met Cornelia, so they assumed the girl–Marcus brought was his wife.”

Cameron was relieved, “I see!”

His sister Natalia just started dating Marcus. If Marcus brought his wife to a party at this time, it would mean he was just messing around with Natalia.

However, his wife’s absence implied Natalia could possibly become his official girlfriend.

He continued, “Marcus, I need to help my dad with the other guests. Make yourself at home.”

Leonardo added, “Go do your thing We’re all friends here.”

Cameron glanced at Cornelia, his gaze lingering on the necklace around her neck for a second. She was still stunningly beautiful.

Marcus remained cool. “Don’t look at what you shouldn’t, or I won’t mind taking you to an eye doctor”

Everyone present, including Cameron, understood his words. Marcus was a straightforward guy, especially when it came to the people he cared about.

Cameron could only play dumb, laughing as he replied, “My eyes have been a bit dry lately. Just visited the eye doctor yesterday, so no need to worry about me.”

Leonardo helped shift the focus. “Cameron, there’s a ton of guests tonight, your dad can’t handle them all You should help him out ”

“Alright” Cameron hurried off.

Once Cameron was out of sight, Leonardo turned to Marcus, “Marc, Cameron is a friend we grew up with…”

Marcus cut him off, “You may see him as a friend, but the feeling might not be mutual

Leonardo was left speechless. He wasnt oblivious, just thinking he could mend their relationship and bring back the good old days. But some people and things, once changed, can never be the same again

Ryan tried to lighten the mood, “Since we’re all here, let’s head in. We should enjoy the party, have a few drinks, and have fun.”

Cornelia responded, “Yeah.”
