Even after Sera left, Haewon sat on the floor for a long time and remained firm. It was only after she managed to recover her confused mind that she was able to get up.

“Haa….”

Hae-won raised her head while rubbing her face with her hands like washing her face.

‘I had a fight with Adam over that.’

Haewon fumbled in her memory.

‘Did you hit me now? Did you touch my body?’

‘Ah. mistake.’

When Adam hit Ellie on the head with a check, she was too surprised to react immediately. By all means, she thought that day was over.

When Adam slapped Ellie’s head lightly with a check, she was so startled that she didn’t respond right away.  Anyway, she thought the day was over.

[You don’t have to lend me money. And don’t contact me for a while.]

She suddenly remembered the text that had come to Ellie.

No way, was it Adam who sent the text? But for sure, Adam had met up with Ellie secretly again.

* * *

“…….”

Haewon stood at the front door for a long time. She didn’t forget the password, but she hesitated to enter the house.

For some reason, she thought he might be here.

‘Adam…’

Hae-won pressed the door lock while holding and opening only innocent hands. An uneasy prediction hit the mark. After a long hesitation, when she opened the door, a neatly laid black glossy loafers caught her eye.

And,

It smelled like rice.

When she raised her head with a strange sense of strangeness, Adam, who appeared silently, stood leaning one shoulder against the wall.

“You’re here?”

The questioning voice was very sweet.

He came up and took the bag from Haewon’s arm. It was also familiar. Before she knew it, Adam naturally melted into her daily life.

“You ate all the side dishes I made last time.”

Hae-won couldn’t say anything to Adam, who looked at her with admiration. No, it was hard to ask exactly the question she wanted to ask.

So she changed her words.

“…… were you cooking?”

“Yes.”

Adam nodded.

He turned to the living room. Hae-won followed Adam’s footsteps and listened to what he said.

“Haewon has it all but money can’t buy everything. I thought about what I could do. The lunch box you packed last time was also good, didn’t it?”

Adam came to a standstill. Haewon also stopped walking.

“Am I too calculating?”

Adam looked back and asked.

The eyes of the man with the deep eyehole bent sharply. Hae-won replied, looking at his achromatic eyes.

“No, Adam is sweet.”

As she continued to speak, something broke out deep in her heart.

What should I do with my lovely fiancé, who is so affectionate that he even does dangerous things behind my back?

“Adam.”

“What?”

“Did you hide anything from me?”

“Hmm. Haewon, did you sleep in your underwear?”

“I’m not in the mood for a joke.”

Hae-won closed her eyes and narrowed her forehead. Adam smiled at her reaction. The warm atmosphere subsided in an instant.

“…… Did you meet your family behind my back? Ellie. I’m asking if you met her because of me.”

Hae-won finally expressed her true feelings, as she could not keep spinning in circles. It wasn’t a matter of taking time. However, after asking, regret poured in.

It felt like opening a Pandora’s box.

“Hmm. My prospective sister-in-law? Is she doing well?”

Adam gave a meaningless nasal voice and asked her how she was doing.

“……She was arrested.”

“Why?”

“She seems to have been arrested at the scene while gambling. I don’t know.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“The source of the bet…….”

“Ahh.”

Adam clapped his hands lightly as if he knew only then.

“I did visit them separately.”

Adam pleaded innocent to the charges.

“There was a client who was interested in our museum collection, and in exchange for connecting it to my sister-in-law,”

Adam, who had been speaking well, shut up. Haewon became nervous when he shut up.

“I asked her to please not tease Haewon.”

Adam especially put a lot of effort into the word please.

“……is that all?”

“That day, I just pretended to be strong because you were there. I’m not a dumb person. I don’t have the power to win a fight with her at all. So I went and apologized.”

Adam said in a curtvoice. He looked somewhat shabby but pitiful, stimulating motherhood.

“If not. You wonder if I knew everything and deliberately gave the stake to my prospective sister-in-law?”

Hae-won flinched at Adam’s gentle addition.

Still in a precarious and dangerous atmosphere, he stopped right in front of Haewon.

“Do you think I did?”

“No, I…….”

Hae-won bowed her head while blurring the end of his words.

“Sera seemed a little suspicious of you.”

“Haewon, do you trust your family? Good for you. I’d never believe what people in my family say.”

Hae-won refuted in an urgent voice.

“Of course I don’t think you would have known. It’s just a bad coincidence. But what I want to say is…….”
