Chapter 48.1

“Sister.”

As Sera approached, Ellie asked, arm in arm.

“What did you talk about with Seo Haewon?”

“I think she’s out of it these days, so I gave her some education.”

Ellie giggled at Sera’s answer.

“Yeah, she needs to get a grip. Anyway, not long ago, she made a fuss about cutting off the sponsorship of Seohwa Welfare, so I helped.”

Ellie shrugged her shoulders.

“Really? Seo Hae-won, that’s a real problem, too.”

Sera clicked her tongue.

“She doesn’t know how to do anything alone. Oh, she’s so affectionate that it’s a problem.

The fact that she’s a family, too.”

Sera, who was still listening to Ellie, pinched her sister’s cheek without pain.

“Seo Ellie. Did I tell you that I have only you?”

“Ouch.”

Ellie pretended to be sick, following the direction her sister was pulling.

“Yes.”

When Sera released her cheek, Ellie rubbed her cheek on her sister’s shoulder and acted cute.

“Oh, sister. Let’s have dinner together after a long time. It’s on me!”

“What? Suddenly?”

“I’m just happy~.”

“Whatever.”

“Okay, let’s go to an expensive place. Oh, do you want to go to the store where the actors are?”

“Come on, your actors aren’t my cup of tea.”

“Cheer up.”

Then Ellie’s cell phone vibrated.

Ellie covered her phone with her body and checked the text. The location and date of the poker game were written.

“Who is it?”

“Some guy~”

Ellie had the nerve to lie.

“Play with the omega and throw him away.”

“?”

“For us, they are nothing more than breeding machines.”

Sera uttered scorn more blatantly than when she told Haewon.

Unlike Ellie, who has simple thoughts, Sera was the type of person who, once she found an object she didn’t like, held on to that object until she died.

Seo Hae-won was like that.

So, Seo Hae-won. She’s her plaything to the death. She has to struggle under her feet for the rest of her life. More desperately.

“With your Omega fiancé.”

* * *

“You’re here?”

“Adam…”

When she returned home with her tired mind and body, Adam was waiting for her, as if it were natural.

“Let’s eat, Haewon.”

“It’s okay.”

When he was told that she was not in the mood for a meal, Adam did not bother to ask more. If it was a normal Adam, he would have forced her to sit down and feed her.

She vaguely knew why. He must have noticed the shade on her face. Hae-won slumped on the sofa feeling helpless.

“Did something happen today?”

Adam asked, sitting next to Haewon. Hae-won slightly leaned forward, taking her back against the sofa.

‘What’s going on…?’

It’s a lie that nothing happened.

One hair that was hanging on her ear flowed down. Adam’s gaze was not felt because her hair covered her face like a curtain.

Instead, the voice that was rich in the head became clearer.

‘You’re not going to tell your fiancé today, are you? Family problems are solved by family. Do you understand?

Haewon fiddled with her fingertips.

Happiness is contagious, but if you share misfortune, there will be two unhappy people. Nothing can be solved by being honest with Adam.

Adam already knows that she’s not on good terms with her family.

Above all, the real cause was herself, because she’s a hypocrite pretending to be an Alpha. She’s useless because she can’t do anything by himself.

It was natural to be despised by her family.

At least Haewon thought so.

“You’re a hypocrite.”

When Sera’s voice came to mind, her heart sank. When the truth comes out, will Adam despise me, too?

Hae-won’s face was about to turn pale.

Adam, who noticed that Hae-won had no intention of speaking, naturally changed his words.

“I met him today.”

“Who?”

“Louis.”

“Oh, you said you came to the foundation.”

“Yes, to see you. But you weren’t there.”

“I wish I’d been in touch with you…….”

Hae-won smiled awkwardly.

“I wanted to surprise you.”

Hae-won finally laughed at Adam’s naive answer.

“But…”

“?”

“Haewon, do you like men who are likely to break?”

Haewon wondered what it meant. Then she realized it was about Louis and pointed to Adam., “You can’t say such rude things.”

“Isn’t it rude to come in with another man smelling on you?”

Adam turned his head and asked back.

“I said it was a misunderstanding.”

Hae-won sat close to Adam’s side and clasped his hand.

“Yes, misunderstanding.”

Adam smiled as he followed Hae-won’s words. Adam tucked the flowing Haewon’s hair behind her ears.

“I know you’re not selfish.”

Will the person who knows about me keep doing it?

“But men are so simple that they misunderstand even a little bit of kindness. Especially if it’s an attractive alpha like you.”

An attractive alpha.
