The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 68

Noel could only put her down. The moment Marie’s toes touched the ground, her body softened and

she leaned on Noel. Then she staggered and tried to walk towards the door.

Only then did Noel understand that Marie was not awake at all. Her eyes were not focused, and she

was still dizzy and couldn’t see the direction clearly.

But he didn’t expect that she would be so vigilant that just holding her would make her resist.

Worried that she would fall, Noel could only follow her. He helped her up from time to time and

walked towards the door of the hotel.

Andres was also stunned. Marie was quite capable. Noel hugged her, and she hit him immediately.

When Marie finally reached the door, she staggered and was about to fall. However, as long as Noel

helped her up, she would instinctively dodge.

The sound of the car braking sharply came, and the black Maybach stopped steadily at the gate. The

security guards came up to stop the car, but they shrank back when they met the man’s eyes.

With such a noble temperament and driving such an expensive car, they couldn’t afford to mess

with him.

Dennis strode up the steps and bent down to pick up Marie.

Andres was shocked. “Mr. Whitney! Marie knows how to lock others’ throats!”

All of a sudden, Marie felt her feet lift off, and the familiar cold breath of the man lingered on the tip of

her nose. She barely opened her eyes and saw that Dennis was coming.

She rubbed herself against his arm, and grunted uncomfortably, then tilted her head into Dennis’

arms and fell asleep.

Andres was speechless.

Hey, come on! Shouldn’t you be aggressive?

Dennis hugged Marie and turned to walk outside. Noel stood at the door of the hotel in a daze for a

second and said, “Where are you taking her, Mr. Whitney?”

Dennis’ mind was full of the appearance of Marie staggering and Noel pulling her when he got out of

the car, and he was very upset.

He had been thinking about her for the past few days, but she had come to the party. He rushed over in

a hurry, and she had a bunch of protectors.

Dennis didn’t say anything and walked straight forward. Noel said, “Mr. Whitney, I should take Marie

home. Grandpa will be worried.”

Andres grabbed Noel and said, “Mr. Noel, Mr. Whitney will send Ms. Spence back. Don’t worry.

Besides, even if Mr. Whitney asks you to send her back, she won’t even let you touch the corner of her

clothes. How are you going to send her back?”

Noel clenched his fist and watched as Dennis carried her to the passenger seat, then went around to

the driver’s seat and left.

But for all the time Dennis carried Marie, she only nestled quietly in his arms, without resistance or

struggle.

He didn’t dare to think about what it meant to treat them differently subconsciously.

Seeing that he had done his work, Andres returned to the reception, humming a tune, leaving Noel

standing alone in front of the hotel.

Dennis drove to Cloudy Villa and parked at the door. Marie slept soundly in the passenger seat. Dennis

was furious. Why did he fall in love with such a heartless person?

Dennis got out of the car and went around to the passenger seat. He carried Marie out and walked

into the villa.

Old Mr. Spence was in the living room. Edward said, “Old Mr. Spence, Ms. Marie is back.”

Old Mr. Spence then looked up. Indeed, she was back, and she was back in Dennis’ arms.

“She’s drunk, so I’m here to send her back,” Dennis said.

Old Mr. Spence nodded. “Carry her back to her room and let her have a good sleep.”

Dennis carried Marie upstairs. A housekeeper led him to her bedroom. There was no light on in the

room, only the dim light coming in from the window.

Dennis bent down and put her on the bed. As he rose, Marie caught him by the collar, which caused

him to stagger, and he could barely stand still.

The girl’s sleeping face was right in front of him, and her warm breath was in front of him. Dennis

calmed down, held the girl’s soft hand, and said, “Marie, let go.

Frowning, Marte seemed to be dissatisfied with Dennis’s grip on her hand and clenched it even

tighter.

Dennis was sort of turned on. He was definitely a normal man, okay?

He used all his strength to push her hand away. Then, he sat beside her bed and stroked her messy

hair.

I’m sorry…” Marie murmured.

“What?” Dennis didn’t hear it clearly.

“I’m sorry.” Marie opened her eyes and whispered.

Her voice was tinged with grievance and sobs.

She seemed to have opened her eyes, but the lights were too dim, and Dennis could only vaguely see

the faint tears in her clear eyes.

Dennis leaned over and kissed her gently on the forehead. The girl’s forehead was white and smooth,

with drunken heat.

Feeling a trace of coolness fall on her forehead, Marie closed her eyes. The man’s pleasant voice

sounded above her head, “Marie, I told you, I’ll wait for you.”

On this silent night, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, there was a faint light, outlining the dark

figures of the two of them.

Dennis was originally full of anger because she left without saying goodbye, but he forgot the

reason for his anger when he heard her sobbing apology.

He had always been cold and noble, and he did things decisively and resolutely, but at this moment, he

kissed her forehead lightly and spoke softly and slowly.

Every word was like an oath.

“Marie, between us, you don’t have to apologize, I’ll wait for you.”

Dennis got up and walked out of the bedroom. Marie rolled over, tears wetting the pillow along the

corners of her eyes.

She wasn’t as drunk as last time. She clearly felt Dennis’ embrace and fell asleep in his arms in

peace.

Her apology was full of guilt and fear, but all her evasion disappeared from Dennis’s words, “I’ll wait for

you”.

Dennis went downstairs, and Old Mr. Spence was still sitting in the living room.

“Dennis, come and sit here.” Old Mr. Spence greeted him.

Dennis went over to sit on the sofa. Old Mr. Spence took a sip of coffee and said, “Dennis, Marie is

young and ignorant. No one has loved her since she was a child, but she is my granddaughter after all.

Surely I feel bad for what she’s been through. I have also seen it in the past two days. She is sad. I

don’t know how to comfort her, and she doesn’t want to say it, but I know that no one can make her

so sad except you.”

.Dennis nodded. “It’s my fault for making Marie sad.”

Old Mr. Spence sighed. “Dennis, I’m not blaming you. I know more or less about your family’s situation.

Your father and I have been friends for so many years. I know his temper. If your family

can’t accept Marie, I won’t force you two.”

“Old Mr. Spence, the Whitney family is the Whitney family, and I am I. It’s different.” Dennis said.

Looking at Dennis’ firm and sincere eyes, Old Mr. Spence sighed and said, “Marie is suffering. If you

are willing to treat her sincerely, I won’t stop it, but she is sensitive, and I hope you can bear it.”

Dennis nodded. “Of course, she’s still young.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dennis got up and left. Edward walked over to Old Mr. Spence

and said, “Old Mr. Spence, you really care about Ms. Marie now!”

“This girl has a bad fate. How can I not feel distressed? The Spence family has harmed her mother. We

can’t harm her anymore!” Old Mr. Spence sighed.

“Old Mr. Spence, what will be, will be. Ms. Marie is so smart and clever, and she won’t be at a

disadvantage!” Edward comforted.

“I hope so. Let the cook make some oatmeal tomorrow morning. Marie just boozed, she may lose her

appetite tomorrow,” said Old Mr. Spence.

“Got it. Go to sleep, Old Mr. Spence.” Edward helped Old Mr. Spence back to his room.

The next day…

When Marie went downstairs, Old Mr. Spence greeted her for breakfast, “Come on, the cook has

cooked oatmeal for you. Have some.”

As Marie sat down obediently and ate the oatmeal porridge, Old Mr. Spence noticed that she was in a

much better mood and asked, “Kiddo, the semester is almost over. Are you going to school today?”

Marie nodded. “Yep. I’ll go with Iliana later.”

Old Mr. Spence said, “If you don’t want to learn how to drive, how about I arrange for you a driver?”

A thought suddenly flashed across her mind, and Marie said, “Grandpa, I’ll find someone myself.

Someone who knows martial arts, so that he can also be my bodyguard.”

Old Mr. Spence nodded, “Okay, let Edward have a look when you find one and pay him a salary from

home.”

After lunch, Marie went out and called Luca. As soon as he picked it up, he cried out, “Ms. Spence!

How long do you want me to hide in Las Vegas? Emory and Kate are gone! I’ll die of boredom living

alone in such a big villa!” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Calming herself from the crying, Marie then asked, “Are you coming to New York to be my

bodyguard?”

Luca pursed his lips. “I’m a famous assassin. Being your bodyguard? It’s a bit unfair, Isn’t it?”

“As far as I know, you just took on two missions. You’re not very famous, are you?” Marie asked.

Luca changed the topic instantly, “When am I going?”

With a smile, Marie said, “Pack your luggage now. I’ve booked a noon flight for

arrive in the afternoon.”

Luca immediately jumped up. “Okay! Right away! See you in New York!”

you,

and you’ll

After hanging up the phone, Marie was in a good mood. Maybe there were some things that she really

didn’t have to avoid too much. Like Luca, a friend from the past, was something she couldn’t

avoid and couldn’t let go of.

The driver went to pick up Iliana from the Tuttle house, and the two of them went to school together.

Because of Marie’s excellent results, even if she did not come to school for a long time, the teachers.

turned a blind eye to it and did not deliberately make things difficult for her.

When she was free, she would also come to class.

Feeling bored, Marie scrolled through her phone and turned to a popular novel on the Internet called

Against the War. It was about a war period where Jaime Constance, a rich playboy, met the singer of a

nightclub, Jordyn Michelson. Later, the Constance family declined due to the war and Jordyn took in

Jaime, who was homeless. However, he did not change his nature, indulged in alcohol and sex, and

fiddled around all day long. Eventually, Jordyn died under the rain of bullets

after being wantonly insulted in order to save him. Only then did Jaime regain his consciousness and

join the army to defend the country.

The killing part of the novel was that the two protagonists had vastly different personalities. One was a

playboy who was addicted to alcohol and sex, and the other was a singer who was worried about the

country and the people. The other was childish and the other mature.

There were a lot of comments below the novel, hoping to remake the novel into a movie or TV series.

Since Marie had seen it, she couldn’t give it to others.

She immediately found the contact information of the original author of the novel, who said that this

was his brainchild. As long as she could find Jaime and Jordyn in his heart, the copyright could be sold

to Marie.

Marie immediately called Sasha, who picked it up and asked, “It’s been a long time since you’ve

contacted me. What’s the good news?”
