complacently
In comfortable contentment
Complacently describes doing something with self-satisfied ease, often with an unwarranted sense of security.
Someone who complacently ignores warning signs feels no need for concern or action.
The word usually implies criticism—that the person should be more alert or less smug: He complacently assumed he'd win.
