Evelyn's POV

“Do you like me, Julian?”

The question left my mouth before my heart had time to stop it.

And the second the words were out there between us, hanging in the cold ocean air, I wanted to take them back.

Because honestly, this couldn’t just be my imagination anymore. Somewhere along the way, I had started believing Julian liked me—really liked me—and otherwise none of this made sense. Not Seattle. Not tonight. Not the way he kept showing up for me even after I tried so hard to push hi

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 257

    Evelyn's POVThe wind moved gently through the trees.“He wants someone with her own career, her own ambitions, her own opinions, someone capable of disagreeing with him without being intimidated by him, someone who's passionate about something that has absolutely nothing to do with him, and most importantly, someone who wouldn't change who she is simply because she found out how much money he has.”There was genuine admiration in Julian's voice now.“I've watched countless people try to get close to him over the years, and honestly, some of them were incredible women. Smart, successful, beautiful, ambitious. Any one of them would've looked perfect on paper.”The firelight reflected faintly in his eyes.“But none of them ever really got to him.”His smile returned.“Then Maddie showed up and spent half a day insulting him.”That made me laugh.“Sounds about right.”“Exactly.”Julian laughed too.“She treated him like a mildly irritating human being instead of a tech billionaire, disag

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 256

    Evelyn's POVThe second we both realized exactly what was happening inside that RV, Julian and I simultaneously took two careful steps backward like a pair of burglars who had accidentally opened the wrong door, and if anyone had been watching from a distance, they probably would've assumed we were trying to escape a crime scene rather than the consequences of somebody else's sex life.The retreat quickly evolved into a full tactical withdrawal.Because once we'd reached the unfortunate conclusion that Frank and Maddie were definitely not discussing camping logistics in there, the situation stopped being merely awkward and became a matter of self-preservation, since I had absolutely no doubt that if Maddie ever discovered we'd lingered outside long enough to confirm our suspicions, she would personally make sure our bodies were never found.So we fled.Quickly.Dignified was no longer an option.By the time we made it back to the campfire, both of us were working very hard to behave l

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 255

    Evelyn's POVEverything that had happened tonight had been moving in this direction with the slow, undeniable inevitability of a tide coming in—the truths that had arrived five years too late, the apologies that should have been spoken long ago, the misunderstandings and regrets that had shaped so much of our lives without either of us fully understanding them, and the unmistakable tenderness in Julian's eyes whenever he looked at me all felt like countless small but relentless forces quietly pushing us closer together, until somewhere along the way the distance that had once seemed impossible no longer existed at all.The wind stirred the treetops overhead.Somewhere beyond the campground, I could hear water lapping softly against the shoreline.And Julian was standing right in front of me.Close enough that I could smell the faint trace of smoke and cedar still clinging to his jacket from the campfire.Neither of us seemed willing to look away.Neither of us seemed willing to move.

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 254

    Evelyn's POV“Then, right after I finally realized you were going to be okay and started breathing again, the very next thing you did was ask whether I wanted to sleep with you.”“Julian!”I immediately felt heat rush to my face.“That is an extremely selective version of events.”“It's also a fact.”His expression remained infuriatingly innocent.“Which makes it even worse.”I groaned.“At the time I was completely out of my mind.”“I know.”The smile that crossed his face wasn't teasing anymore.It was softer than that.More affectionate.As though the memory had stopped embarrassing him years ago and become something he secretly treasured.“And honestly, I figured out what had happened almost immediately,” he continued as we walked beneath the trees, the moonlight slipping through the branches above us in pale silver patterns. “I'd known for years that Sebastian wasn't exactly faithful, and although I never felt it was my place to tell you something I couldn't prove, I wasn't surpr

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 253

    Evelyn's POVFor a few seconds I couldn't think of anything to say.Because for years I'd carried around the quiet assumption that the story was simple—that I had somehow failed, that I hadn't been enough, that if I had been prettier, more interesting, more successful, more understanding, or simply more worthy, then maybe things would've ended differently.And yet standing there in the darkness, listening to him speak, I realized that nobody had ever said this to me before.Nobody had ever separated Sebastian's choices from my value.Nobody had ever looked me in the eye and suggested that the problem might never have been me at all.The wind moved softly through the trees.And for a moment neither of us spoke.Then Julian's expression shifted unexpectedly.The seriousness faded.A small smile appeared.“There is one more thing.”I narrowed my eyes immediately.“Should I be worried?”“Probably.”That answer alone made me suspicious.“What is it?”He looked at me.“From now on, I'm not

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 252

    Evelyn's POVI stopped for a moment, genuinely caught off guard by his response, because if I was being honest, I'd fully expected him to agree with me, to take the opportunity to criticize Sebastian, or at the very least to confirm every frustration and resentment I'd been carrying around for months.Instead, he did none of those things.“I know this probably sounds strange coming from me,” Julian said after a moment, his voice calm and measured as we stood beneath the trees, “but I don't actually believe Sebastian never loved you.”The answer surprised me enough that I forgot what I was about to say.Julian continued before I could interrupt.“The reason I say that isn't because I'm trying to defend him, and it certainly isn't because I think what he did was acceptable. It's because I've known him longer than you have, and I remember exactly what he was like before you came into his life.”The wind shifted softly through the pines.“When we were younger, Sebastian was the definition

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 74

    Evelyn's POVThere was a flicker of surprise, then recognition, rippling outward through the room, and I continued without hesitation, allowing the performance to transition seamlessly into something far more intentional.“If that video was what brought you here,” I said, my voice steady, measured,

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 72

    Evelyn's POVI smiled at Amby, soft and pleasant on the surface, even as something far less polite took shape underneath.If she had slept with my husband, then it stood to reason that Sebastian had already spent more than enough money on her—and if she had come here prepared to humiliate me to my

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 68

    Evelyn's POVBut just as we settled in, a hotel staff member knocked on the door and informed us that Julian had sent over an apology gift.It was a set of clothes—a dress for me and a suit for Sebastian.Individually, they were both undeniably beautiful.But placed side by side, they didn’t match

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 67

    Evelyn's POVHis voice dropped, quieter than before, and it didn’t sound like he was testing me anymore so much as confirming something he already believed to be true.I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I kept my eyes on the water, where the last trace of gold had already sunk beneath the surface
