The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 

“Can I take a look around?” Nataly asked, batting her big eyes. 

Dennis lowered his head and nodded slightly, not wanting to deal with this woman, but he couldn’t bring himself to drive her away. 

Nataly received permission, stood up, and walked around the living room. She went to the master bedroom doorway, where Dennis’ bedroom door was open. Inside, there was a completely 

masculine style with black, white, and gray tones, elegant and charming. 

She walked over to the adjacent bedroom and just as she pushed the door open, Dennis said, “Don’t go in.” 

Nataly hesitated for a moment, and Dennis walked over, closed the door, and said, “I don’t like people messing with my things.” 

Nataly clenched her fist, and with just a quick glance around the room, she could tell it was a girl’s 

room. 

A huge teddy bear was placed on the carpet, and a few books and magazines were on the bedside table, along with a beautiful crystal ball. The bed sheets and quilt were light yellow, making the room look comfortable and bright. A dress was hanging on the balcony, which she had seen before – 

it was Marie’s dress! 

That wasn’t Dennis’ room, it was Marie’s! 

At this condominium she had never been to before, Dennis’ presence was everywhere. She had always longed to live with Dennis since she was young, but now, traces of Marie were all over the place! 

Her plush toy, her magazine, her women’s slippers she placed at the door! 

They had actually reached the point of living together! 

Dennis glanced at her and asked, “Did you come here for something?” 

Nataly composed herself, pointed to the bag in the living room, and said, “I came to bring you a New Year’s gift! I went shopping today and saw a coat that would suit you well, so I bought it!” 

Dennis said helplessly, “Nataly, you don’t have to do these things, and I don’t need you to buy 

clothes for me…” 

“Ah, Dennis, don’t overthink it. I just bought it when I saw it. Try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn’t, 

I’ll return it!” 

Nataly ran to the living room, took out her coat, and held it up, saying, “Look, isn’t it pretty?” 

The door to the study opened with a “crack”, and Andres walked out holding his computer, saying, 

“Dennis, Clayton said something about France… Nataly? What are you doing here?” 

Nataly looked at Andres with some surprise, as she thought Dennis was home alone and didn’t expect Andres to be there as well. 

Andres saw the coat in her hand and the expectant look in her eyes that she hadn’t had time to hide, and he knew she had come to bring clothes for Dennis. 

From childhood to adulthood, countless times, he looked forward to seeing Nataly, and Nataly always looked forward to seeing Dennis. 

Andres knew that Dennis was extraordinary, almost a mind-blowing person. He admired him, respected him, followed his leadership, and willingly obeyed his commands. Andres was more than happy to follow Dennis as they traversed the world. 

So, it seemed only natural that Nataly fell in love with Dennis, after all, even he himself knew that 

Dennis was much stronger than him. 

Nataly awkwardly put away her coat and said, “Andres, you’re here too… um, I didn’t bring your New Year’s gift, I’ll give it to you next time.” 

Andres nodded with a bitter smile. He knew that he didn’t have any New Year gifts at all, and Nataly 

could only see Dennis in her eyes forever. 

But every time he was by her side, he could clearly feel her dependence and trust in him, so he had always felt that he still had a chance. 

The awkward silence in the living room suffocated him. Andres grabbed the car keys on the table and said, “Dennis, I’ll go pick up Marie. Let’s have dinner together tonight.” 

Dennis nodded, and Andres rushed out of the door. At this moment, as long as he could leave the living room, he could do anything. 

Nataly smiled awkwardly and said, “Dennis, I’ll go back first. Try it when you have time.” 

Without waiting for Dennis to speak, Nataly left. Dennis looked at the black coat on the couch and sighed helplessly. 

Nataly grew up with them. He had made it very clear that it was impossible for him to be with her, but he couldn’t say anything more. After all, Nataly was not an enemy, and there was no need to speak harshly to her. 

After shopping with Iliana, Marie walked to the parking lot. Andres saw them and waved his hand. 

Marie walked over and asked, “Where’s Dennis?” 

Andres didn’t look too happy, “Dennis has something to deal with, he’ll join us at the restaurant 

later. Let’s go and eat first.” 

Marie nodded, Andres looked at Iliana and smiled, “Ms. Tuttle, would you like to join us for a 

meal?” 

Iliana responded with a friendly smile, “Just call me Iliana.” 

Three people got in the car and went to Fairy Restaurant. Fairy Restaurant had a wide variety of 

dishes, and the private room was quiet. They had been going there frequently to eat recently. 

Upon entering the private room, Dennis was already waiting. Seeing Marie come in, he pulled her to sit beside him and asked, “What did you buy?” 

Marie listed a bunch of things she had bought, but with so many people around, she was too embarrassed to take out that coat, so she didn’t mention it. 

During the meal, Marie and Iliana were chatting constantly. Dennis was serving food to Marie and occasionally talking with Andres, but Andres didn’t seem very interested throughout. 

Andres also ordered a bottle of red wine, but no one else drank it, so it all ended up in Andres’ 

stomach. 

After finishing the meal, Andres was already drunk. He hugged Dennis and wept, “Why didn’t I get a New Year’s gift? I’m so good-looking and outstanding! I want a gift too!” 

Dennis was speechless. 

Cullen drove Andres and Iliana home separately, while Dennis drove back to Glorious Estate with 

Marie, 

Marie walked into the living room carrying a coat and immediately saw the black coat on the couch. She recognized it at once, her face darkened, and asked, “Has Nataly been here?” 

Dennis was startled, “How did you know?” 

Marie pointed at the coat on the couch and asked, “Did she come to give you the coat?” 

Dennis pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “She said she’s giving a New Year’s gift.”
