Chapter 97.2

while the dinner was being prepared, chairman seo, hae-won, and adam raised their tea cups in the drawing room.

“yeah, you caught a thief? is your arm okay?”

chairman seo put down the teacup. .

“yes. i was not seriously injured, so i was discharged immediately.”

“you did a commendable job. but i hope you take care of yourself. you’re not even single anymore, am i? haewon especially has a soft heart. don’t make her worry.”

chairman seo looked at hae-won quietly.

“i’ll listen to you.” adam also looked at haewon and answered politely. chairman seo glanced at the wall clock with her mouth on the teacup.

and changed the subject.

“she’s late.”

“what?”

“it’s nothing.”

“is sera coming?”

chairman seo nodded lightly. “because it seems that we were very estranged from each other even when we’re going to be a family. that’s why this place was prepared.”

if sera came all the way, she would definitely have trouble with adam.

haewon’s worries deepened.

fortunately, the chairman seems to be in a good mood today, so she has a little false hope that she may mediate if friction occurs. but in the end, she’s the only one who could protect adam.

no, i should. hae-won has changed her mind firmly.

“you seem to be very busy with your work. i was on the phone yesterday, but your voice was weak.”

chairman seo made eye contact with hae-won and spoke kindly.

“so hae-won, take care of yourself in the future. since you’re a part of our family.”

“yes.” hae-won nodded silently.

before she knew it, time passed and the appointment time came.

“chairman, the meal is ready. the older lady’s car has just arrived, too.” mr kim approached chairman seo and whispered. chairman seo nodded his head and raised himself.

“let’s go in now.”

the place to eat was inside the seo mansion, that is, in the hanok building.

a long table placed in the center of the spacious room. on top of it, freshly made side dishes were neatly served on a luxurious ceramic plate.

“sit comfortably.”

chairman seo sat at the top of the table first, and hae-won and adam sat side by side. sera’s seat was still vacant.

soon after, urgent footsteps were heard from the corridor.

“i-i’m sorry, mother.” sera burst in, opening the door. “there’s a traffic jam…….”

“there we go. we’re just sitting down. mr kim, get my oldest child some cold water. wet your throat. your face is a mess.”

chairman seo only shook her head lightly, as if she had no intention of lecturing.

“lady.”

“…… uh, thank you, mr kim.”

sera drank it mr kim staring blankly at the water cup brought by deacon kim. after so much cold water, she still looked pale.

no, she looked distracted.

today sera was different than usual.

the corners of the eyes, which had been sharply raised, were weakly drooping, and her eyes were blurred as if they were out of focus.

“are you okay?” hae-won looked anxiously at sera, who was standing far away. sera looked at haewon and made eye contact with adam next to her.

“……!”

the moment she faced the cool gaze, she got chills all over her body.

‘you look very determined. if you mess with him, things might go south…….’ kang tae-oh’s warning to be careful because he is not an ordinary guy came to mind at the same time.

‘you talk a lot when you’re dead. can’t you get out of my head right now?’

sera opened her eyes wide, ordering the dead. unlike sera’s eyes, adam’s eyes were as cold as ice.

hae-won, who noticed sera’s gaze fixed on adam, quickly put her hand on adam’s thigh.

“?”

then adam also looked at hae-won, folded his eyes like a child who knew nothing, smiled, and tilted his head.

‘that abominable…….’ sera snorted inwardly. and he answered loudly toward haewon.

“am i okay? huh? i’m totally okay.”

but when she pulled out the chair, her legs relaxed. sera, who checked that no one noticed that her body was once shaken, calmly pulled her chair and sat down.

‘just now the two of them, what happened?’

hae-won glanced alternately at adam and sera with her head down.

adam and sera.

at that moment there was a subtle air between the two. the tension was so tense that it reached hae-won.

it was never a favorable atmosphere.
