Ryan told him, "Dude, you're a man, why so hung up on looks?"
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?"
