artlessly
In unaffected manner
Artlessly means without skill, pretense, or guile.
Someone who speaks artlessly is being natural and unaffected, even naïve: She artlessly admitted she'd never heard of him.
The word can suggest either charming innocence or clumsy lack of sophistication, depending on context.
