One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 259
Evelyn's POVJulian was quiet for a few moments, watching the last glowing embers settle deeper into the fire, and when he finally spoke, his voice carried the thoughtful certainty of someone who had spent years observing a friend from close enough to understand the things most people never noticed.“I think Frank's the same way.”I looked at him.“Hm?”“I've known him for almost ten years,” Julian said, turning his attention toward the dark outline of the trees beyond the campsite, “and tonight is the first time I've ever seen him look at someone the way he looked at Maddie.”I didn't answer immediately.Because I knew exactly what he meant.Some things don't need words.Some things can't be hidden even when people try.And attraction is one of them.A person can stay silent.A person can deny everything.A person can act completely normal.But eventually it escapes through their eyes anyway.The campfire crackled softly in the darkness.Lemon had long since finished her bottle and f

Evelyn's POV“Frank's most dangerous quality,” Julian said, leaning back in his chair while watching the last embers shift in the fire, “is that he's lived through every lesson reality tries to teach a person and somehow still came out the other side believing he can change the world.”I turned toward him.He smiled slightly.“You know what his life looked like when he first started his company?”I shook my head.“He poured everything he had into it. Not most of it. Everything. He lived in basements, slept in offices, spent months surviving on terrible food and almost no sleep, sat through meeting after meeting where investors treated him like a joke, and heard every possible variation of ‘this will never work’ from people who were supposedly experts.”The wind moved softly through the trees.“A normal person would've quit.”His voice carried no hesitation.“Honestly, a smart person probably would've quit.”That made me laugh.Julian smiled.“But Frank didn't.”The fire crackled quiet
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.

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

Evelyn's POVThat last line was definitely loaded.Basically, he just told me we were about to do it… in the same place his parents once… wow. Great. I suddenly felt like I’d accidentally wandered into his parents’ honeymoon suite. Instant urge to bail.“Uh… can we maybe go somewhere else? Isn’t th

Evelyn's POV“What would I even do?”“Like I said, the theme is humans and wildlife. I’m thinking two perspectives: wildlife rescue, which is you, and then wildlife hunting, for which I have someone else in mind. I want to explore the clash between these viewpoints—the survival of wildlife and huma

Evelyn's POVSince that day, I started scouting for new sponsors—anything to loosen Sebastian’s grip. Right now, the Langfords were our biggest backers. With the new funds on hold, our medical equipment orders had to be pushed back two weeks. Ideally, we’d find new investors in that window.This wa

Evelyn's POVWhen I got home, I tossed Sebastian’s latest “cheating compensation”—a brand-new Louis Vuitton Capucines BB—straight into my bag cabinet.The moment I let go—I froze.What used to be one neat row… had somehow turned into an entire wall. A full-blown luxury forest. Every color. Every s
