The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

The banquet finally ended at eleven o’clock. 

Iliana had come with Andres, so naturally, Andres took Iliana back home. 

Marie returned to her room, kicked off her high heels, removed her makeup, and took a bath. After comfortably lying down on the bed, she remembered that she had really booked a flight to France for the next morning. 

Originally, it was just a momentary impulse to go against Noel, but when she recalled Noel’s words about Dennis becoming a dead person, she suddenly felt very uneasy. Marie turned over and thought, it’s better to go and check on 

him. 

It seemed that only after seeing Dennis, their heart could finally be at ease. 

She remembered the last shootout at Witton Manor. After all, Dennis was still a member of the King Organization, not just a simple businessman. He was always surrounded by dangers. 

The more Marie thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She tossed and turned all night, and it wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that she finally fell into a dazed sleep. 

The sky had just begun to brighten when Marie woke up again. She glanced at the time, got out of bed, and washed her face. Without packing anything, she grabbed her identification and headed straight for the airport. 

She briefly explained the situation to Luca and asked him to tell Asher not to worry. She also informed my assistant about her recent business trip to France and asked them to take good care of Sasha and the others. Then, she boarded the plane. 

It wasn’t until the plane landed in Paris that Marie realized, in a moment of impulsiveness, she had really traveled to France on a flight that lasted more 

than ten hours. 

Get Bogos 

After leaving the airport, it was already ten o’clock at night. Marie took a taxi 

straight to Dennis’ hotel. She quickly went up the elevator and stood at the 

door, pressing the doorbell. A minute later, the door opened. 

Dennis was wrapped in a bathrobe, his hair slightly messy, and his face looked bewildered. It was clear that he hadn’t fully woken up yet. He seemed less 

aloof and serious than usual, and a bit more adorable. 

Dennis looked at the girl outside the door, who was wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts, sporting sneakers, her hair tied in a ponytail, and her face bare. Apart from some dark circles under her eyes, everything was fine. 

Alright, some things seemed unreal. 

It was like a dream; the person he wanted to see was standing outside the door, smiling at him. 

Marie chuckled, “Dennis, if you don’t welcome me, I’ll just go back.” 

Dennis pulled Marie into the hotel and closed the door with a “bang.” 

He pulled Marie straight back to the bedroom. Marie was dragged in, muttering, “Dennis, what time is it? You…” 

Marie’s lips were covered by a warm touch, and a familiar refreshing scent. 

filled her nostrils. Her legs went weak, and she fell onto the bed. 

Dennis seemed to have melted all the longing from the past few days into this kiss, tenderly entwining and intoxicated. 

Marie was forced to close her eyes, and all the uneasiness, all the worries, and all the tension in her mind disappeared, making her feel calm and wanting to fall asleep. 

It wasn’t until the man’s heavy breathing sounded in her ear that Marie 

opened her eyes. Dennis buried his face in her neck, took a few deep breaths, 

and then rolled onto the bed. 

Get Bo 

He pulled Marie close, firmly holding her in his embrace, his hand wrapped 

around her waist, not moving an inch. 

“What’s wrong?” Marie asked, her head resting on Dennis’s chest, her voice. 

muffled. 

“Sleeping, not fully awake yet,” Dennis’s hoarse voice came through. 

Marie said helplessly, “What time is it now…” 

Dennis hugged her arm tightly and said, “Let’s sleep a little longer, I’m really 

tired.” 

The dark circles under his eyes were quite noticeable, as if he had stayed up all night. Marie, feeling helpless, turned around and leaned against Dennis’s chest, closing her eyes.
