The next morning.

Sunlight peeked into the room as Maria groggily opened her eyes, only to realize she was clinging to Sidney like an octopus.

The memories of last night came rushing back like a tide.

A cold glint flickered in her eyes as she turned onto her back.

Sidney stirred, glanced at her, and said, "Last night..."

Maria cut him off, "Last night, someone deliberately set me up."

Sidney nodded. "I'll help you."

Maria's eyelashes fluttered slightly before she suddenly asked, "Why?"

Maria fixed her gaze on him, her expression serious and clear. "Why did you stay last night? And now, why are you offering to help me?" Sidney's face tightened.

After a brief pause, he finally said, "You didn't let me leave last night."

Maria blinked, then unexpectedly laughed. She sat up swiftly, straddling his waist.
