The proposal was over, and that same night, Maria and Sidney returned to Cloudflare City.

Maria lived in a cozy and beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment in the Waterfront District. As they arrived at the door, she turned to look at Sidney, her pretty eyes holding a teasing emotion. "It's so late. Do you want to come in and rest?"

Sidney's handsome face showed signs of fatigue, and he directly refused, "I'm tired. I want to go home and get some proper rest."

Maria chuckled softly, reaching out and slowly sliding her finger down his chest. Under her touch, she could feel his muscles tensing slightly.

"Do you think I'm inviting you in for something else? You're overthinking it. I just want you to rest here."

As her words fell, she stepped closer to Sidney, slightly tilting her head up, her crimson lips curving into a seductive smile.

"Of course, if you're up for something more exciting, I wouldn't mind either."

Sidney immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her from moving further.
