Chapter 2.2

The conversation between Chairman Seo and Vice-Chairman Joo, Ellie’s push to bring more wine, and the noise of dishware bumping into each other dimmed.

It felt like she and Adam were the only ones left in the world.

Hae-won unwittingly moistened her lips. Even though her mouth was dry, she didn’t even dare to hold a cup of water.

Adam’s black pupils looked exceptionally clear, perhaps because the iris’s pigment was light. The distant black circle seemed to be drawn in, like a gun aimed at me.

The tension is that if she moves her body even a little bit, the bullet will fly to her and hit her.

‘If I leave it like this and things go wrong, I’m in trouble.’

Again, the voice was revived.

A feeling of heat rose slowly through her body –  it had already burned her lower half. At the same time, as the heart rate increased, the heart quickly hit the ribs.

For a moment, she was under the illusion that Adam had come inside of her. No, her whole body clamored to absorb him.

‘A slight fever…’

A tremor that would surely have staggered if standing hit Haewon. Haewon turned her head hurriedly. But she could still feel Adam’s gaze, and the place where his eyes touched was throbbing.

‘It’s not my cycle, is it?’

She was suddenly frightened. Only then did her body move. Haewon gulped down the cold water.

Nevertheless, the burning thirst lingered. She was anxious that other people here might notice.

“Since each of us has our own schedule, shall we wrap up the meeting here?”

Along with Chairman Seo’s voice, the noise around him quickly returned to its original place. Fortunately, Chairman Seo wrapped up the situation.

“It’s finally over.”

Hae-won swept her chest. An hour or so felt like millions of years.

“Let’s do that. By the way, it feels like we’re a family. It’s great.”

Adam openly frowned at the words of his family and clicked his tongue. Haewon was the only one who noticed it, whether it was a misfortune or a good thing.

“Vice President Joo is a very family-oriented person.”

“Isn’t homely man the trend these days? Hahaha.”

At a time of formal conversation, Adam stared at Chairman Seo and Vice-Chairman Joo

“It’s too bad that someone like your elder brother should have been born as an omega,” he said with a harmless smile.

Sera and Ellie burst into laughter simultaneously and quickly smiled towards the eyes of Chairman Seo.

Joo Nam’s face was as red as red pepper. Dong-min sweated a lot to see the older brother and the younger brother.

The atmosphere, which she thought had barely entered a calm phase, quickly became ugly.

Adam drove in a wedge.

“Well, if you need a child, I’ll give birth to him.”

He finished with a smile.

It was a bombshell remark that would open the listeners’ mouths. In fact, Dong-min didn’t know how to close his stupid open mouth.

Adam was laughing at the alpha who reacted like a bunch of meerkats to every move he made. Even Chairman Seo seemed embarrassed by his bold attitude.

“Don’t you think it’ll be a problem if you make one on your own without an adult’s permission from both families? Adam?”

“Oh, I forgot. It was written in the contract, right? The second generation is on a two-family basis.”

When Chairman Seo quickly came to her senses and asked, Adam retorted in a natural way.

“But I’m relieved that Adam has a witty personality. My second child has been a good girl since she was young. Isn’t there anything else you want from a couple who make up for each other’s shortcomings?”

Chairman Seo said, twisting the corners of her mouth.

Adam didn’t lose again this time and fought back.

“Well, is that so? I think the chairman wants a lot of things. So please be comfortable with me.”

“Can I talk to Adam alone?”

Haewon jumped to her feet.

She didn’t fear interrupting them because she was worried that the heat cycle might really explode at this rate. Hae-won shrugged her shoulders and added in her dying voice as her Alpha’s brilliant eyes sparkled.

“We’re going to be husband and wife, but we don’t know anything about each other…….”

Once the other alphas are sent back, Omega Adam won’t notice if the heat cycle goes off.

“Sure.”

Chairman Seo unexpectedly readily allowed it. But maybe she should say this, she whispered in a small voice as she passed Haewon.

“Take care of it.”

“……Yes.”

The subject was omitted, but she dared to predict who she was talking about. I’m sure she’s talking about that hapless fiance.

“Let’s all go, then.”

Vice-Chairman Joo also took the lead in leaving Adam as if he was disgusted. The family members who gathered at the meeting left, and the staff cleared the empty plates and set up the seats again.

Adam.

He was still staring at the sea.
