The Beauty and the Brain

Chapter 105

Dennis pinched her and asked, “What do you think?”

Marie let out an ouch and said, “How can you take things seriously after drinking! I don’t even

remember what I did! I was at a disadvantage too, you know!”

Marie clenched her fists and angrily yelled at him twice.

Dennis turned over and lay down, lazily saying, “I didn’t do anything.”

Marie, “Huh?”

Dennis glanced at her and asked, “You look disappointed?”

Marie looked confused, “Then where are my clothes?”

Dennis glanced at the floor, “I took them off, they’re on the ground.”

Marie turned over and looked under the bed, seeing clothes scattered all over the floor. She covered

her face and asked, “So what’s the deal with what I’m wearing?”

Dennis placed both hands behind his head, using them as a pillow, and glanced at her before saying, “I

gave you a bath and helped you change.”

Marie asked, “Did you give me a bath?”

Looking into Dennis’ smiling eyes, Marie covered her face again and said, “Alright, I got it, I won’t

ask anymore…”

Marie turned over, got out of bed, and walked out, slamming the bedroom door with a bang. Five

seconds later, she pushed the door open again, walked in, and silently picked up the clothes on the

floor.

Dennis laughed, “Were you disappointed that I didn’t take you there and then?”

Marie said, “No.”

She returned to her room, took a bath, changed her clothes, and then went to the living room.

Dennis had already finished washing up and was sitting on the couch, flipping through the newspaper.

When he saw her come out, he said, “Let’s eat.”

Marie looked at the messy pile of gifts in the living room, the big teddy bear covered in cream, and the

spilled wine all over the floor, and asked, “What about these…?”

Dennis nodded, “Your masterpiece.”

Marie was rendered speechless.

“Let’s eat first, the housekeeper will clean up later,” Dennis said as he pulled her towards the dining hall

for a meal.

Marie had just sat down when a glass of honey water was brought to her. “Drink this before eating,”

she was told.

Marie obediently drank it, and now her head hurt so much that it felt like it was going to explode. A

glass of honey water would make her feel much better.

“Carly Spence was released on bail,” Dennis said.

Marie stopped eating her oatmeal, looked up, and asked, “Was she released on bail?”

“Yes. This morning the Spence family went to complete the paperwork and brought the person home,”

Dennis said.

Marie frowned and didn’t say anything.

She knew that the Spence family wouldn’t give up on Carly so easily, so it made sense that they bailed

her out. She just really disliked how the Spence family treated Carly like a princess and spoiled her.

“Where is Dereon?” Maric asked.

“At home, he was hit by Kevin,” Dennis said, seemingly unbothered by Kevin’s actions.

“Why did Kevin hit him?” asked Marie. She was stunned.

“Because I took Kevin’s girlfriend to Dereon’s bed,” Dennis said casually while eating breakfast.

Marie didn’t speak. Dennis looked up at her and said, “It was her choice. As a C-list model, she’d be

a winner with any backer she got involved with.”

Marie nodded. “Was this Dennis’ explanation? Because he didn’t want her to misunderstand him as a

person who would do anything?” wondered Marie.

“I’ll be back at the Spence mansion in a bit,” Marie said.

Dennis frowned, “Do we really have to go back?”

She caused such a big commotion, Mason and Mia would have skinned her alive, and yet she still

rushed back to get beaten up?

Marie nodded, “The situation has already happened, and it needs to be resolved sooner or later. I can’t

just never go home, right? Grandpa would be unhappy.”

Dennis could only agree, saying, “I’ll take you back.”

Marie shook her head, “No need, Luca will come to pick me up.”

After eating, Cullen picked up Dennis for work, and Luca came to pick up Marie to go home,

Upon arriving at Cloudy Villa, Marie went to see Asher first. Asher, sitting on the couch and looking at

her, sighed and asked, “Did you stay at Dennis’ place last night?”

Marie nodded, “Yeah, Gavin and the others threw me a birthday party. It ended really late, so I didn’t

come back to disturb you.”

Asher waved his hand, “Come here, come to me.”

Marie moved closer to Asher and sat down on the carpet, asking, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”

Asher touched her head and asked, “Is it true, those things Carly did, are they real?”

Marie nodded, “Grandpa, do you think I would lie?”

Asher sighed again, his rough hand gently touching Marie’s small face, and said, “Marie, it’s my fault,

I’ve made you suffer!”

Marie’s nose tingled, and she leaned on Asher’s lap, her voice trembling, “It’s okay, Grandpa, it’s

all in the past.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought that upon her return, she would have to face Asher’s questioning and blame, at least he

would scold her a few times. After all, she had indeed aired their family’s dirty laundry in public, making

everyone laugh at the Spence family.

But Asher didn’t blame her, didn’t scold her, and didn’t even say a single negative word about her. He

just said that she had been wronged.

She initially thought it was no big deal, those things Carly did were just the most insignificant setbacks

in her life. She felt that once she got through them, everything would be fine.

But now, seeing the distressed look in Asher’s eyes and his rough, large hands gently stroking her long

hair, she suddenly felt truly wronged.

Regardless of whether Asher favored her because of her relationship with Dennis, at least at that

moment, he truly was the best grandfather.

“Marie, Carly was bailed out, your dad and others must have pulled quite a few strings,” Asher said.

“I know,” Marie said.

Asher gently touched her long hair and asked, “Do we need to tell her?”

Marie looked up at Asher and asked, “Grandpa, do you want me to stop?”

Asher sighed and said, “I’m old and I can’t manage the affairs of you young people.”

Marie laughed. She knew that Asher didn’t care, he wouldn’t help her, but he also wouldn’t stop

her, and that was enough.

“Grandpa, you’re not old at all! You’ll live a long life of a hundred years!” Marie laughed happily.

Asher tapped her forehead and said, “You might as well move in with Dennis! You’re frequently not

coming home!”

Marie rubbed her forehead and laughed foolishly, “No way! I want to come back and live with you!”

“I don’t care about you!” Asher said, pouting.

“I adore you, and I really adore Grandpa!” Marie said with a laugh as she leaned in.

Edward brought over a gift box and handed it to Marie.

Marie asked while unpacking, “What’s the good stuff?”

B

Edward laughed and said, “Old Mr. Spence was so sad when you didn’t come back last night to give

Ms. Spence her birthday gift!”

Marie stared at Asher and laughed, “Really? Grandpa, are you sad?”

Asher lifted the cane, poked Edward and said, “Nonsense!”

Marie opened the box, and inside was a dazzling diamond necklace.

A delicate chain had a pink diamond pendant hanging in the front. The design was fresh and simple,

perfectly showcasing the transparency of the pink diamond.

Edward laughed and said, “Ms. Spence, you have a pink diamond bracelet given by Mr. Whitney. Old

Mr. Spence specifically had someone buy this necklace to match it.”

Marie called Jolie over to put the necklace on her, looked at Asher, and asked, “Does it look good?”

Asher pursed his lips and said, “It’s alright.”

Marie chuckled inwardly and approached Asher. Holding Asher’s face, she said, “What do you mean by

not bad? My grandpa gave it to me! It must be very beautiful! Take another look! Look again!”

Asher laughed and poked her with a cane, “Are you being defiant?”
