Chapter 66.2

Hae-won hesitated and hugged Adam tightly. The unexpected contact froze Adam’s body.

“Don’t do such a dangerous thing from now on. I told you. I don’t want you to be in of my family’s sight or be in trouble because of me.”

Hae-won leaned one cheek against Adam’s chest.

How dare I doubt you.

Compared to the secret she hid, Adam’s secret was tender enough to bring tears to her eyes. All she could do was go to Ellie and ask her not to torment him any more.

Even that was criticized as the cause of Ellie’s arrest. Why is everyone blaming Adam. Not to mention himself.

He was even known as the cause of Eli’s arrest. Why is everyone blaming Adam? Even herself.

“I’m sorry, really.”

“Why is Haewon apologizing?”

“Because of me, Adam keeps getting in trouble.”

Adam also put his arm around Haewon’s shoulder.

“I was able to get out of my low birth status on the condition that I accepted this marriage.”

Adam continued in a calm tone.

“I lived in hiding like a shadow all my life, and now I have come out of the world proudly like a human.”

“……!”

“I expected a clash with my in-laws. But meeting Haewon was really unexpected, so I’m happy.”

Adam’s voice sank heavily to his heart. Her heart sank with a thud. Haewon also knew what it was like to live as a shadow better than anyone else.

“By the way, shall I tell the chairman about this?”

Adam pushed Haewon’s body and asked softly. When he faced Adam’s worried eyes, Hae-won woke up.

“The chairman wants the wedding to go smoothly. You’ll just go against the chairman’s will. Sera will let it slide this time.”

“That’s a relief.”

Adam smiled with relief.

“As Haewon said, I will stay calm from now on.”

Adam was more obedient than ever. Hae-won was also touched by the submissive appearance.

Adam secretly laughed at the top of Haewon’s head, who bowed her head as if she was emotional.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to stay calm.

Seo Sera won’t stay calm, though.

Looking lovingly at Hae-won, who was completely deceived by his acting, Adam counted the number of cases ahead.

‘I wonder if she’s stuck to me.’

In preparation for a background check in Seohwa, he had finished organizing his personal information before entering the country. Adam’s past was so clean that no dust could come out of it.

Of course, this was nothing more than a preparation for Adam’s personal revenge. However, all of the future plans were for Seo Hae-won.

Precisely, preparations for the acquisition of Seo Haewon.

For that, even his revenge could be used as a means.

Adam thought nothing of it.

First of all, it was first to fill Haewon’s stomach after work.

“Now the misunderstanding has been cleared up, right?”

“Yes, there was no misunderstanding.”

Hae-won smiled awkwardly.

Adam grabbed Haewon’s wrist and took her to the kitchen.

Haewon sat down at the table.

She thought they were going to eat together today, as the tableware for two people was prepared. Hae-won stared at Adam’s back as he opened the soup and moved his eyes to the table.

There were various side dishes on the plate. It was all her favorite side dishes.

Adam recognized the side dishes that had her eyes shining every time Haewon ate them, so he remembered them every time.

“I prepared multi-grain rice for your health.”

Adam put down a rice bowl and a soup bowl one after another in front of Haewon.

“Thank you, Adam.”

Hae-won replied with a grin.

“Yes, eat a lot.”

Adam sat next to Haewon and looked at her with a hot stare. Hae-won, conscious of his eye, paused while trying to lift the chopsticks.

“You’re not going to eat?”

When Hae-won asked slightly embarrassed, Adam shook his head gently.

“I will after seeing Haewon eat.”

“Ah….”

Haewon quickly picked up the side dishes that were close and put them in a bite. She opened her mouth after gulping down the food she had been chewing.

“I did. Adam, hurry up and eat, too.”

But Adam’s reaction was strange. All he did was look at Haewon with an expression that she didn’t know what he was thinking.

What’s wrong with you?

Hae-won tilted his head inward. Then he quickly added with a face of realization.

“Oh, the side dishes are really good. I think Adam is really good with his hands.”

“Hm.”

This time, the reaction was very poor. His expressionless face even turned into a wretched one. Embarrassed, Haewon rolled her eyes in a row as she thought about what to do.

Adam watched Haewon and gave a hint as if he were being kind.

“Ah-.”

Adam closed his eyes gently and said, ah. It was like a baby bird begging for food from its mother.

Haewon looked blankly at the scene and picked up the side dish and put it in Adam’s mouth.

Adam’s closed eyelid crept up. Hae-won’s chest tightened as his breathtaking eyes and her eyes intertwined.

Adam’s tongue licks her chopsticks and takes away the side dishes. Haewon bit her chopsticks one beat later.
