Chapter 55.2
Absolute Advantage
Adam filled his glass with wine and sat next to Haewon. A glass of red wine, like blood, hit lightly. The two looked into each otherâs eyes and took a sip of wine.
Two, three sipsâ¦â¦ It was about time they moved on to the second cup.
âI donât know why.â
Haewon started her rhyme by swinging a wine glass.
âSince I met Adam, everything has been going well.â
âReally?â
Adam asked back, pretending.
âI think I can get through the marriage well with you.â
Hae-won, who was slightly drunk with a sip of wine, confessed more than usual.
Haewon gained a lot of strength from seeing Adam showing interest in and taking care of the people around her. Even though he would occasionally come to her job and just show his face.
At the same time, guilt grew. As much as this man is devoted to her, the shadow cast on her false life seems to grow.
In fact, it was Haewonâs biggest wish that they could get through it well together. For this poor man who knows nothing.
âHave you ever wanted to get pregnant yourself?â
âWhat?â
When she looked up at the sudden question, Adamâs gray eyes were staring at her. Hae-won fiddled with the glass and dropped her eyes.
âWho knows.â
Hae-won murmured in a confident voice. It was not long before Adam realized why he asked this question and asked again.
âIs it because youâre worried?â
â?â
When Hae-won looked at him worriedly, Adam was a little perplexed. But he soon realized why the conversation was fading away.
Haewon knew Adam as an Omega. So even though he was a man, she seemed to think he was afraid of having to get pregnant.
âIâm sorry, but youâre wrong, Haewon.â
Itâs Seo Hae-won thatâs pregnant.
My child.
Adam thought while looking at the flat stomach of Haewon.
âI can do something with the power of modern medicine. But I asked you.â
Adam shrugged his shoulders.
Hae-won looked at him puzzled and bowed her head. In the meantime, she was so comfortable thinking about Adam.
A penetrating sharpness.
This was Adamâs true self.
âPregnancy? Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?â
No way, did he find out that Iâm an omega? No. Thatâs not possible. Hae-won slowly pulled herself together and opened her mouth.
âI donât know. I havenât thought it through.â
âHmm.â
Adamâs face turned sulky, as if it wasnât the answer he wanted. And his gaze began to fade into persistent obsession.
âIâve felt this since I first met you, but you donât seem like an Alpha.â
âW-What?â
Haewonâs eyes were wide open.
Adamâs gaze that met her seemed to reveal her secrets. As her fingertips began to tremble, Haewon quickly set the wine glass down on the table.
Asked Haewon softly.
âSpecifically, what partâ¦â¦?â
âWell, donât you feel it yourself?â
Haewonâs shoulders were up and down.
âI think youâre wearing clothes,â
Adam was drawing near. He rubbed Haewonâs waist with one hand. It was a persistent touch.
âThat donât fit. So I want to take it off.â
âA-Adam.â
Haewon tried to push Adam. But Adam was faster. As soon as he approached, Haewon fell helplessly back. Adam pulled Haewonâs body, which had fallen on the sofa, toward him.
âW-well, Adam.â
Haewon hurriedly opened her mouth. Adam stopped moving and looked down at her. The cool gaze seemed to shatter her body.
ââ¦â¦Youâre not very much like an omega.â
This was the only resistance Haewon could make.
Adam grinned as he pondered her words.
âYouâre right. Itâd be perfect if the two of us switched.â
âYouâre talking nonsense.â
At Adamâs wrong answer, Hae-won relaxed and smiled bitterly. But Adam was serious.
âIt doesnât make sense.â
â?â
Adam gently lifted Haewonâs chin. The white and fine neckline supporting the pointed jaw was revealed.
âItâs like that today alone today. Who knew the manager would turn himself in?â
âItâsâ¦.â
âItâs a miracle. You said that, too.â
âItâs not like that.â¦.â
Adam slowly swept the back of Haewonâs neck with his hand holding her chin. Hae-won kept her mouth shut at the strange stimulus spreading from his neck. Her voice almost turned into a groan.
âThen what if the person who you thought was dead is alive?â
Adam asked as if he were inquiring about Haewon.
âYes? What are you talking about?â¦.â
Hae-won frowned at the incomprehensible question. In the meantime, Adamâs breath was too close. She wonders if his lips would touch her. Sheâs more out of breath with fear than she expected.
With the teeth hidden between his lips,
She thought he was going to bite her neck.
