The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 

All of a sudden, the man softened his tone. “Uncle Dennis?” 

The woman was stunned, and so was Marie. What was going on? Why was this man calling him uncle? 

Dennis’ face was still gloomy, “Kevin Whitney, is this your woman?” 

Kevin immediately nodded. “Yes! Since she offended you, I’ll go back and teach her a lesson!” 

The woman was dumbfounded. Tugging at Kevin, she asked coquettishly, “Who is this, Kevin? Why are you so afraid of him?” 

Cullen smiled and asked, “Miss, you’ve argued for so long. Don’t you even know who our president is?” 

The woman hid behind Kevin, her aura unabated, “I don’t care who you are! Anyway, it was that poor student who hit me first, and she’s even lame!” 

Dennis’ face was like the sky before a thunderstorm, gloomy and frightening. He asked, “Kevin, who is she?” 

Kevin immediately replied, “A model. I just met her.” 

Dennis glanced at him coldly, and said to Cullen, “Blacklist her!” 

Cullen nodded, “Okay!” 

The woman stomped angrily, “Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant?” 

Marie was speechless. What a dumb head! 

Dennis glanced at Kevin and said, “Have you no taste?” 

Then he left Fairy Restaurant without looking back, Marie in his arms. 

Cullen smiled and glanced at Kevin, saying, “Mr. Kevin, goodbye.” 

After Cullen left, Kevin turned around and slapped the woman in the face, cursing, “Idiot! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been humiliated by that bastard! Don’t you know who he is? He’s my uncle! The president of the Whitney Group!” 

After saying that, he shook off the woman and drove away. 

Dennis carried Marie into the car and ordered, 

Go to the hospital.” 

Marie tugged at the corner of his shirt with her fingers, and said, “Well… I haven’t bought grilled fish yet…” 

 Dennis glared at Cullen from the rearview mirror and said, “It’s okay. We can buy it later. Let’s go to the hospital first.” 

Cullen was on the verge of tears. How could he have expected that Ms. Spence would run into people 

from the Whitney family as soon as she went out? 

When they arrived at Sun Hospital, Dennis carried Marie straight to the director’s office. When they 

walked to the door, they heard some voices. Marie blushed and buried her head in Dennis’s arms. 

Had no other way, Dennis said, “Cullen, knock on the door.” 

Cullen knocked on the door vigorously, and an unhappy voice came from inside, “Get out!” 

Cullen said, “Doc. Hart, open the door. Mr. Whitney is at the door.” 

A minute later, the door opened. A hot woman gave Cullen an unhappy look and left the office with her waist twisting. 

Gavin’s face darkened as he asked, “What’s wrong now?” 

Dennis smiled. “You’re quite fast.” 

Gavin’s face darkened even more. He looked at Marie in Dennis’ arms and said, “She hurt again?” 

Dennis placed her on the chair and said, “Her hand is grazed. Wrap it up.’ 

Gavin asked, “Am I, a medical doctor, just a caretaker in your eyes?” 

Dennis shook his head. “No.” 

Then, he added, “Only people who can’t take care of themselves need caretakers. Marie is not.” 

Gavin said, “She’s not far from being unable to take care of herself. Aren’t you tired of carrying her all day long?” 

Dennis raised his eyebrows and said, “Nope, she’s very light.” 

Gavin was speechless. 

Can I spit on his face? 

Gavin disinfected Marie’s hand and wrapped it up carefully, asking, “How did you get hurt every day?” 

After thinking for a while, Marie said, “I can’t help it. My life has been ill-fated!” 

Then she raised her head and asked Dennis, “Are we going to buy grilled fish?” 

Dennis nodded. “Yes.” Gavin was displeased. “What? I want to go too!” 

Cullen grabbed Gavin and said, “No, you don’t want to go.” 

Gavin was speechless. 

Dennis picked up Marie and left without looking back. 

In the end, they didn’t buy grilled fish, and Dennis took her to Fairy Restaurant for a meal. 

Marie thought, Dennis should not be angry anymore, right? 

Dennis asked her, “Why didn’t you have breakfast?” 

With her head down, she poked a few fish bones and said, “I don’t have an appetite in the morning.” 

Dennis asked again, “Why did you cry last night?” 

Before she could speak, Dennis said, “If you want to lie, don’t say it.” 

Marie lowered her head and said nothing. 

She didn’t know what to say. Should she tell Dennis that she had met him two years ago? 

Or should she tell him that she didn’t want to eat with Clayton? Or should she just tell him that she 

was Rose? 

How? 

Dennis, I was dead, but I’m alive again? 

Dennis would think that she was really crazy from eating too much adrenergic blocking agent, right? 

Or maybe Dennis liked this lively and cheerful girl, not the killer full of hatred in her heart? 

She had no idea, and her mind was in a mess. 

She did not know what to say or how to say it, so she simply did not want to bring it up. 

After a long silence, Dennis’ voice suddenly sounded, “I’ll wait for 

you. 

“Huh?” Marie raised her head and looked at him. 

Dennis put down his fork and looked at her steadily. His obsidian eyes were like a vast sea of stars hidden, and then, the next moment, it seemed that she was the only one hidden. 

He said, “You have a lot of secrets in your heart. If you don’t want to tell me, it’s okay. I’ll wait for 

you.” 

Marie saw that there was a reflection of herself in those clear eyes, which had the limpidity of the 

lake. 

Then her tears, with a “tap”, fell on the back of her hand, like a nuclear bomb, hitting her heart 

heavily. 

Dennis said, “As long as you promise you won’t lie to me, I can wait until the day you are willing to 

tell the truth.” 

Looking into those eyes, Marie seemed to be possessed. Then she said, subconsciously but 

willingly, “I promise.” 

She promised that from this moment on, she would no longer lie or hide anything. 

She promised that one day, she would tell the truth, no matter what Dennis would think of her. 

Dennis smiled, reached out and wiped the tears from her face, and said, “Crybaby, let’s eat.” 

Marie giggled and lowered her head to eat. 

In the afternoon, after Dennis sent her back to Glorious Estate, he spent the whole afternoon 

dealing with business in the study. Marie had nothing to do, so she just flipped through the 

information about Zane that Cullen had found for her. 

Zane was from an ordinary family. His father had died at a young age, and his mother’s ill health. kept her in hospital year-round, while she still had to run a small roadside stall to make ends meet – and yet they still lived beyond their means. 

Zane was handsome, and he could sing well. Initially, he could sign a contract with an entertainment company through the talent show. After entering the entertainment industry, his family’s situation would improve. 

But no one expected him to opt out. 

According to Cullen’s investigation, Zane’s mother’s stall was smashed on the day of the finals. Similar things had happened before, and there were even several rounds of provocation that happened where they lived, and the culprit was Dereon, who had successfully advanced. 

In fact, even if Dereon didn’t make it to the top three, Olive would still sign him for the sake of the Hebert family, but this kind of person liked to bully the weak.

The Spence sisters weren’t pleasing to Marie’s eyes, and so was Dereon, which made her insist on intervening in this matter. 

The doorbell rang. Marie got up to open the door. 

As soon as the door opened, Marie met the visitor’s eyes and was stunned. 

Clayton… 

She calmed herself down and said, “Come in. Dennis is in the study.” 

Clayton walked in with a bottle of red wine, followed by Gavin and Andres. 

Marie pushed open the door of the study and said, “Gavin and the others are here.” 

Andres’s eyes widened. “How dare she disturb Mr. Whitney like that?” 

Gavin shrugged nonchalantly. “What’s the big deal? She’s literally the apple of Dennis’ eye.” 

Dennis walked out of the study and glanced at Gavin. “Is the hospital going bankrupt?” 

Gavin hugged Andres and cried bitterly, “Look! What kind of a friend is he? He’s always bullying 

me!” 

Andres patted Gavin’s head and asked, “What are we having for dinner?” 

Dennis said, “Let’s order takeout.” 

Andres was speechless. 

Clayton was speechless. 

Gavin was speechless. 

Dennis raised his head and said, “Didn’t you insist on coming here? You still expect me to cook?” 

Marie raised her hand awkwardly and said, “How about Seafood Spaghetti?” 

Gavin and Andres immediately raised their hands in agreement. “I agree!” 

So Dennis and Marie prepared Seafood Spaghetti at home, and Gavin and the others were playing 

cards in the living room. 

After a few rounds, Andres shouted, “Come on, Mr. Whitney! Mr. Philemon has lost all his money!” 

Dennis walked out with a smile and said, “Clayton, don’t lose on purpose.” 

Clayton smiled. “I’m tired. You play with them for a while.” 

Dennis satin Clayton’s seat and drew the cards. Then, Clayton stood up and sneaked into the 

kitchen. 

When Marie heard footsteps, she said, “Dennis, help me cut the sweet potato.” 

Not hearing a response for a long time, she turned around and saw Clayton leaning against the kitchen door, staring at her steadily.
