The Beauty and the Brain

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.

Last night, she had trouble sleeping, tossing and turning. This morning, she got up early to go to the

airport. She didn’t get much rest during the ten-plus hours on the plane. Now that she saw Dennis and

smelled his familiar scent, she suddenly felt at ease and was actually a bit sleepy.

Not long after, Marie fell asleep in Dennis’ arms.

When she woke up again, it was already eight o’clock the next morning, and she was completely

awakened by hunger.

Yesterday, she didn’t eat much on the plane, so when she arrived at the hotel, she went straight to

sleep. Now, her stomach is growling because I’m hungry.

Marie turned over and reached out, but there was no one on the bed. She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

The room still had heavy curtains drawn, making it feel like the middle of the night.

Marie sat up, her eyes not fully open yet, when the bedroom door was pushed open. A tall man

approached and pecked her on the lips, asking, “Are you awake?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Marie pushed Dennis’s enlarged handsome face away, covered her mouth as she yawned, and

nodded, “I barely woke up, I’m hungry.”

“Um, I’m hungry too,” Dennis said.

Marie had just sat up when she was pushed back down onto the bed, her mouth

kissed numb. Helplessly, she pushed Dennis away and said, “I’m really

hungry.”

The man’s low laughter came through, “Little lazy pig.”
