Hearing Maximus's confession, Sira was stunned.
Turning her back, she saw Maximus's eyes filled with sincerity.
"Do you really love me?"
"Yes… Now I want to ask the same question. Do you love me back?" Maximus asked with a smile.
Having been with Sira for so long, how could he not develop feelings for her?
Even a stone would gain consciousness after being cared for over millions of years, so how could he not?
With a heart open to beauty and affection, Maximus had undoubtedly developed a sincere affection for Sira.
However, when he asked the question back, it was Sira's turn to feel conflicted.
Did she truly love Maximus? Was this all an illusion, and was she merely acting?
In the beginning, she had approached Maximus for his resources, his support, and the promise of a bright future.
Yet, looking back, Sira seemed to have forgotten her original intentions as she tried to cling to Maximus, hoping to capture his interest.
