When Rudy returned to the Ross estate, Maria still hadn't returned from her room. He had a firm idea why, but he still went to check on her regardless.
He stopped in front of her closed room and heard Ruby and Maria talking.
"Why are you leaving, Maria?" Ruby asked Maria.
"I am married to Rudy, and I have no reason to live here."
"How can you say that?! What about me? Are you going to leave me behind?!"
Rudy activated his see-through ability to watch them to ensure things didn't go wrong.
"What else do you want me to do? Stay here?" Maria shrugged.
"Yes! I want you to stay here! Please, we dreamt of this time together, didn't we?" Ruby held Maria's hand and said, "It's our dream, and we are so close to fulfilling it."
"It's not." Maria shook her head and calmly said, "It's not my dream anymore. My only dream now is to have a family with Rudy."
