Chapter 79.2
Absolute Advantage
She was imprinted with another alpha, which caused her body to have problems every time. It was unclear whether this problem could be solved.
In all this uncertainty, only Adamâs love for herself was intact. The fact afflicted Haewon.
âIf the engagement is really brokenâ¦â¦.â
Adam will find a new fiance.
But what if itâs also not a marriage of choice? Can the contracted partner care about this guy? Will she be able to protect him?
Like her?
âWhat kind of stupid idea are you thinking?â
Then what else can she do for this man? Even if theyâre together, the only thing waiting for the end is destruction.
There was no time to give an answer, and the worries and questions continued. Of course, Haewon was avoiding the only answer.
âHaewon.â
Then Adam grabbed Hae-wonâs chin.
The thought that had swirled like a tsunami disappeared the moment she made eye contact with him.
âI really want to be a family with Haewon.â
Does this man know what heâs talking about?
âAs long as Hae-won is around, it doesnât matter if itâs hell.â
I know it.
But he doesnât know thereâs more hell. And that hell is a never-ending tunnel.
âWhat about Haewon?â
ââ¦â¦I donât mind either.â
In the end, Haewon made the worst choice.
Because she knew that Adamâs love for her was the only thing in all this uncertainty. Because she knew better than anyone how valuable it was.
Haewon couldnât give up Adam.
It is a sin not to love such a man, so she rationalized her wrong decision.
âPromise, we wonât be destroyed.â
Hae-won murmured, clinging to Adamâs arms.
âWell, Iâll do something about itâ¦â¦.â
Haewonâs jewel-like tears permeated Adamâs shirt.
Adam felt a sense of full satisfaction when he saw Hae-won hanging on to him. The feeling of being loved.
âReally?â
âYes, indeed.â
âIâm glad Hae-won said that, very much.â
Adam hugged her fragile shoulders, feeling the breath of Haewon, who was dangerously crumbling.

Hae-won left the art museum in a hurry at the sudden call of Chairman Seo. Adam tried to walk her, but Hae-won refused.
Li Yuyen stared at Adam while looking at the seat where she was standing.
âYouâre such a bad person.â
âWhat?â
ââ¦â¦to make a woman cry.â
Li Yuyen muttered with an upset face.
âYou didnât have to push Seo Hae-won so hard. Itâs obvious that this engagement wonât be broken anyway!â
When Adam didnât respond, Li Yuyen raised his voice without realizing it.
Li Yu-yen, who was watching the situation outside, wanted to reveal Adamâs black heart to Hae-won right away. Heâs just pretending he doesnât know anything, pretending to be innocent, acting in front of her.
Adam laughed at Li Yu-yen.
âAre you being sympathetic? You really donât know anything.â
You were sympathetic until recently.
âWhat more nonsense are you going to say?â
âWould you have tried to see me cry?â
â?â
Li Yuyen frowned.
Adam gently placed his hand on his left chest.
âThe reason why a woman named Seo Hae-won feels so guilty, grieves, suffers, and struggles.â
He clutched his chest tightly and his stiff white dress shirt crumpled.
âBecause she loves me so much. â¦â¦Iâm so excited.â
The twisted affection of Adam gave Li Yuyen goosebumps. Adam added with a smile whether he knew Li Yu-yenâs thoughts.
âI feel loved.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âYou donât understand, do you?â
ââ¦â¦Yes, I donât intend to understand it for the rest of my life.â
Li Yuyen replied, crumpling his face.
âThe point is that if you want to be loved by someone, you have to buy the other personâs sympathy.â
Adam pointed out points that Li Yuyen didnât even ask.
âLove that begins with compassion is stronger than love that blooms out of fear.â
âHa. Thatâs a great theory.â
âSimple psychology.â
âI suppose so.â
Adam only smiled at Li Yu-yenâs sarcastic remarks.
Adam was very much looking forward to it.
The moment when Seo Hae-won will really choose him.

Chairman Seoâs call.
She could guess this week was about the rigging case and the engagement. But she didnât dare to imagine how things would go.
Hae-won stopped the car in the parking lot and lowered the sun visor to check her face in the mirror. The area around her eyes was still red. Hae-won got out of the car only after the redness had gone to some extent.
