Chapter 134
Just after leaving the airport, the car was already waiting outside. Seeing the driver standing next to the
car, Asher was stunned, “Edward? When did youe to Las Vegas?”
Edward, smiling, helped Asher get into the car and said, “I followed Ms. Marie’s arrangement and
arrived early this morning.”
Asher turned to look at Marie, smiled, and tapped her forehead, saying, “Alright, kiddo, you’ve won over
all my people!”

Marieughed and rubbed her forehead, “Oh really? My skills are quite impressive!”
Edward drove Marie and Asher back to the Spence Estate, and as they entered the courtyard, the
lights were shining brightly.
Marie opened the door with a smile and extended her hand, “Mr. Spence, pleasee in!”
Edward supported Asher as they walked into the living room, where various small colorful lights were
hung, creating a warm and unique atmosphere. Asher’s eyes reddened, thinking, “When did this kiddo
Marie be so thoughtful?”
Edward helped Asher back to the room and said, “Asher, go rest for a while, dinner will be ready
soon.”
Asher listened to the arrangements, walked around a bit, and then returned to his room to rest.
Marie, Jolie, and Edward were busily working in the kitchen. Marie was just an assistant, with most of
the dishes being prepared by Jolie and Edward. She could only make a sd, which counted as
cooking for Asher.
The three of them worked efficiently, and in no time, the meal was ready. Edward went to invite Asher
out, and they went to the dining room to eat.
The dishes on the table were all very homestyle. Marie rubbed her hands together and said, “Today,
we’re celebrating Grandpa’s birthday in advance at home to make him happy. Our cooking skills may
not be as good as the chefs at home, but Grandpa won’t mind, right?”
Asher couldn’t contain his excitement and said, “Please, everyone take a seat. Let’s all enjoy a nice
meal together as a family.”
At the dinner table, Marie talked a lot, which made Asher very happy. Edward apanied Asher in
drinking a few sses of wine, and they ate all the dishes clean.
After finishing dinner, Marie went to the kitchen and brought out a cake. As the candlelight flickered,
Marie smiled sweetly and obediently, saying, “Happy birthday, Grandpa!”
Several people sang the birthday song properly, and Asher was very happy all night. He cooperated

fully by blowing out the candles and making a wish.
Before they had cut the cake, there was a knock on the door. Marie asked Jolie to pour wine for Asher,
and she ran to open the door. When she saw the person outside, she was stunned. “D…
Dennis?”
Dennis wore a white shirt with a suit jacket draped over his arm, strands of hair falling over his
eyebrows, giving him a somewhat weary appearance.
“How did you get here?” Marie asked with a cold expression.
She hadn’t had any contact with Dennis for the past few days, and Dennis hadn’t tried to reach her
either. The two of them had no phone calls, no Telegram messages, and nomunication at all. It
seemed like they were nning to continue this cold war indefinitely.
However, Marie knew that Samuel had lost an arm and a leg, and no hospital would admit him. The
Cooper family, aware that they had offended Dennis, had no choice but to send him abroad for
treatment.
This time, Marie went back to Las Vegas with Asher without telling anyone else. She had been. feeling
restlesstely and didn’t want to stay in New York. Ideally, she wouldn’t have to return to New York the
next day, so she wouldn’t have to see Dennis. She wanted to run far away and never
see him again.
Dennis looked at the girl in front of him. He hadn’t seen her for a few days, and he didn’t know if she
hadn’t been eating well, but she had lost weight. Her chin was sharper, and the wound on her forehead
had scabbed over. However, he still felt heartbroken. Samuel had dared to hit her with his
and Dennis thought he should have killed that damned person.
car,
Marie looked at him coldly, not speaking, just staring like that.
“Aren’t you nning to invite me in?” Dennis raised his eyebrows as he looked at her.
Marie finally opened the door and led Dennis to the dining hall, saying, “Grandpa, Mr. Whitney is
here!”
Dennis shook his head helplessly, nced at Marie, and noticed that whenever this girl was unhappy,
she would call him Mr. Whitney.
Asher looked up, momentarily stunned. Dennis nodded slightly at Asher and said, “Old Mr. Spence,
may you be blessed with a long life and great prosperity.”
Asher chuckled and said, “Great! Great! Dennis,e quickly and sit down!”
Dennis took a seat next to Marie and said, “I left in a hurry today, so I’ll have someone bring the gift
tomorrow.”
Marle muttered, “You left in such a hurry… what were you doing in Las Vegas?”

Dennis smiled slightly, “I came to see you.”
Marie was speechless.
Dennis turned to Asher and said, “I have a business trip tomorrow, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to make
it to Old Mr. Spence’s birthday party. I heard Marie celebrated Old Mr. Spence’s birthday in advance
today. I’d like to join in the fun. Old Mr. Spence wouldn’t mind, would he?”
Asherughed and said, “Dennis, what are you talking about? Of course I don’t mind! The birthday
party was just a formality anyway. Our two families have such a close rtionship, there’s no need for
such politeness!”
Dennis smiled slightly, picked up the wine ss, and drank two sses of wine with Asher, making
Asher very happy.
Asher looked at Dennis with the affection of a grandfather-inw, confirming that he had made the
right choice back then. Indeed, Dennis truly loved Marie.
So, for Asher at that time, Marie was not only the most heart warming granddaughter, but also the most
aplished one in her career, and the one who would marry the best in the future. It was
understandable for him to give Marie more shares.
At the dinner table, it was time to eat the cake, but then Dennis arrived, and Jolie prepared two more
dishes. Asher and Dennis were drinking and chatting, while Marie could only sit beside them and
apany them.
Dennis sat next to Marie, chatting with Asher, his arm stretched out with one hand resting on the back
of Marie’s chair, looking every bit the man of the house.
But Marie kept her head down, silently eating the cake, taking small bites, and never looking up.
Upon seeing the situation, Asher immediately understood that Dennis wasn’t there to celebrate his
birthday. It was clear that he hade to Las Vegas to woo Marie.
After eating the cake, Asher rubbed his stomach and said, “Oh dear, I ate a bit too much.”
Marie stood up, intending to help Asher go for a walk, while Dennis sat beside her, his presence
making her feel extremely uneasy. Even without looking at Dennis, she could sense him ncing at her
from time to time. All she wanted now was to find an excuse to leave the ce.
Before Marie could speak, Asher turned to Edward and said, “Edward, let’s take a stroll in the garden.”
Edward tactfully supported Asher and pulled Jolie along, as they all went to the garden together. Only
Marie and Dennis were left in the dining room.
Marie, feeling helpless, stood up and tidied the dining table a bit. She washed her hands, turned
around, and went upstairs. Dennis followed her, but with a “bang,” he found himself shut out by
the closed door.
He awkwardly touched his nose, for the first time in his life, he was shut out by a woman and almost
bumped his nose on the door.
However, it seemed that many of the first times were created by Marie, the girl who was truly destined
for him.
He knocked on the door, but Marie ignored him. He knocked again, and still no one paid attention to
him.
Dennis knocked again and said, “Marie, open the door.”
