Evelyn's POV

Julian’s voice came lower this time, steadier than mine, but I still caught the hesitation buried underneath it.

That hesitation hurt worse than denial would have.

Because it meant Sebastian was telling the truth.

Slowly, I looked at Julian.

And for the first time since meeting him, I felt distance instead of safety.

“So it really was you.”

My voice shook embarrassingly on the last word.

The expression on Julian’s face changed immediately, like hearing the hurt in my voice physical

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 189

    Evelyn's POVA quiet laugh escaped him after that confession, bitter enough that it barely sounded like amusement at all.“That night, you were supposed to meet me,” he continued. “But instead, I watched you kiss your husband in the parking lot, and afterward you even called me just to provoke me.”I closed my eyes harder.Because I remembered all of it.I remembered exactly how reckless and angry I had been that night, how desperately I wanted someone else to hurt simply because I was hurting too, and how satisfying it briefly felt to know Julian sounded jealous on the other end of the phone.“To be honest,” he said after a pause long enough for me to hear him breathe through the door, “I was furious.”There was no defensiveness in his voice anymore, no attempt to soften what he had done or disguise the ugliness of it.“And all I could think at the time was that if you divorced him, maybe I would finally stop feeling this completely unbearable loss of control whenever it came to you.

    Evelyn's POVAnd the more I thought about it, the more horrifying another realization became, because underneath all those questions was one truth I suddenly couldn’t escape from anymore:I had never seriously questioned him at all.Not really.Somewhere along the way, I trusted Julian so naturally, so instinctively, that I stopped trying to understand him altogether, and instead I accepted every carefully timed appearance, every act of tenderness, every coincidence that brought him closer to me because being around him felt safe enough that I wanted to believe there was nothing underneath it worth fearing.I wanted to believe in him so badly that I never stopped to ask whether the version of Julian I fell for was real, or simply the version he wanted me to see.I genuinely thought I was getting to know him.Ever since Julian became my neighbor, ever since he brought Lemon home and learned how to care for her with this impossible amount of patience and tenderness, I had accumulated hun

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 187

    Evelyn's POVThe moment the door closed behind me, it felt as though the entire world had finally been shut out by something solid and immovable, like a wall rising abruptly between me and everything waiting outside, and for the first time that night, there were no voices chasing after me, no headlights cutting through the dark, no Julian looking at me with that expression that always made me hesitate right before I walked away.I let go of the suitcase without even properly setting it down, and it hit the floor with a heavy sound that echoed through the apartment while I stayed leaning against the door behind me, my body slowly giving out until I slid all the way down and ended up sitting on the cold floor with my knees bent against my chest.The second I stopped moving, my breathing completely lost its rhythm.It was as if everything I had been forcing down outside—the humiliation, the confusion, the anger, the heartbreak, the effort it took to keep my face calm in front of Sebastia

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 185

    Evelyn's POVEverything fell apart so quickly after that that my brain barely had time to catch up.One moment Sebastian still had his hand wrapped around my wrist, refusing to let go no matter how hard I struggled, and the next Julian was already moving.Fast.Faster than I had ever seen him move before.He crossed the distance between us in two steps and drove his fist straight into Sebastian’s face with a force so sudden and vicious that the sound cracked through the quiet residential street like something breaking open.Sebastian staggered backward and crashed hard onto the pavement.At the same time, my wedding ring slipped from my hand and went flying across the ground, skidding somewhere into the darkness with a sharp metallic sound that made my chest tighten instinctively.God.Of course it still ended like this.Of course after everything, after all my efforts to leave that part of my life behind quietly and cleanly, it still turned into another ugly scene under the streetlig

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 184

    Evelyn's POV“Do you know how much I regret this?” he asked. “I know I ruined everything. I know I was wrong.”The words trembled slightly as they left him.“I'm sorry. So let’s just go back,” he said quietly, almost pleading now. “Back to how we were before.”And finally—finally—I heard the apology I used to spend sleepless nights waiting for.Not the defensive excuses.Not the gaslighting.Not the shameless anger he threw at me after getting caught.Not the furious jealousy after learning about Julian.An actual apology.A real one.And somewhere inside those broken sentences was even the thing I once wanted most desperately to hear from him:I love you.Only now, after everything that had happened, I couldn’t even tell anymore whether those words still carried truth or simply fear of losing me.And worse—I realized it no longer mattered either way.Slowly, I opened my bag.For a second Sebastian looked confused, probably thinking I was reaching for tissues or my phone or some so
