Even though she was asking for a loan, Adam was stunned by her confident attitude, as if she was asked to give what she had entrusted to her.

What kind of person was like that? Adam completely forgot what he had been doing with Hae-won.

On the other hand, Haewon seemed to have given up as if she were familiar with this. Hae-won glanced at Adam and spoke carefully.

“What about the one I gave you last time?”

“Hey, what’s the use of that little money? You don’t have any money taken away from the audit this time. If they publish an article on the clean background of our company, more donations will come in. That’s a lot of money coming in!”

“How can you ask for the money? That’s embezzlement. If you need money, I’ll dispose of the stock and give it to you within this week, so please wait a little bit.”

Hae-won, who had warmed up her younger sister, sighed deeply.

“Oh, what do you mean, giving me stocks again? Did you put all your money in the stocks? No! Just give me the cash right now, cash! Damn, can’t you be my sister and give me allowance?”

Ellie stamped her feet and shouted frivolously.

She must be really crazy.

Adam was astonished at the sight of Ellie, who was talking nonsense in front of others.

‘Ah, am I not a human being?’

Seriously, did his fiancée’s sister just ignore him? When he thought of this, he was rather proud. His omega acting was in perfect shape. She saw him being treated like an invisible person.

But it was annoying to have someone touch Haewon.

It was his job to make Haewon feel joy. How dare she try to take away that joy.

He needs to fix her habit.

Adam took some checks from his wallet and approached Ellie. Then he struck Ellie lightly on the forehead with the check.

Slap.

“?!”

Ellie, who was hit on the forehead with money, remained stiff and blank, and then began to shake after noticing the situation.

Adam counted in his heart.

One, two…

“You crazy punk!”

Three, Ellie shouted at the moment.

Perfect timing.

Adam clapped his hands.

“Did you just hit me? Did you touch my body?”

“Oh. Mistake. Give me your hand.”

Adam grinned, covering his mouth with a check.

“I’m going to keep talking so you can get your head right.”

“What? Mind…?”

Adam rolled his eyes and held out a check in front of Ellie.

“If it’s an allowance, I’ll give it to you.”

“Ha.”

“If you need more, I’ll deposit it right away.”

“You punk…! Who are you to give me pocket money?”

“Well, as a prospective brother-in-law?”

Adam answered shamelessly. The attitude drove Ellie even crazier.

Haewon stopped thinking when Adam hit Ellie on the head with a check. Her head couldn’t keep up with the situation.

“Hurry up, sister-in-law. My arm hurts.”

Adam said, lowering his head.

“Hurry?”

The voice that followed was so high-pressure that even Haewon, who was far away, shrugged.

‘What the hell? Is he really an Omega?’

Ellie faltered unknowingly.

Whether she was before an Omega, the sense of intimidation emanating from his massive body over 190 cm was unusual. For the first time in her life, Ellie understood the feelings of prey, not a predator.

“Take it.”

“Huh…?”

What?

When she woke up, Ellie had a check from Adam in her hand. Was she just overpowered by an Omega?

“Hey, can’t you pretend to be happy? Towards your prospective brother-in-law.”

Adam looked at Haewon with a quiver.

“Don’t you think so, Haewon?”

“T-th-this…!”

Ellie huffed and threw the check. The check hit Adam’s body gently, shook and fell to the floor.

Only then did Hae-won, who came to her senses, urgently stood between the two. It was like a zookeeper trying to separate the animals that growled from each other.

Hae-won pushed Adam’s body with one arm to widen the distance between the two. Unlike when he blocked Ellie’s way, Adam stepped back at Haewon’s touch.

“What are you doing?”

Hae-won whispered in a small voice, her face close to Adam’s chest.

Adam looked straight at the cheque, which was worn out by Haewon’s heels. Hae-won was looking up at him with resentful eyes.

The question of why crossed Adam’s mind. Why are you mad at me? I helped you. Shouldn’t you be thankful that it ended like this?

“I’m not going to let you go.”

Ellie, who was muttering violently, turned her back.

Bang!

Hae-won flinched at the sound of the door closing. Adam reached out to her, but Hae-won leaned toward her shoulder to avoid his touch.

“…… Adam, please go back.”

As if the warm atmosphere a while ago had all been false, the air inside the room had turned as cold as ice.

Adam thought indifferently as he looked at the side view of Haewon.

Well.

I’m doomed.
