unsuspiciously
In trusting manner
In a manner that avoids arousing suspicion or appears innocent: He glanced unsuspiciously at the package on his desk.
The word also describes acting without suspicion toward others—trusting or unguarded: She unsuspiciously accepted the stranger's offer of help.
The two senses are nearly opposite, distinguished by context.
