The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 

Get Bontis 

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
