One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 231
Evelyn 's POVI lowered my gaze toward Lemon.She had settled herself comfortably against me at some point, completely relaxed and utterly trusting, with her head resting across my lap and her tail lazily thumping against the grass every few seconds as though she had already concluded that everything in the world was exactly as it should be.The sight made my throat tighten unexpectedly.Because animals were so much simpler.They loved openly.They trusted completely.They never spent sleepless nights questioning intentions or analyzing conversations or wondering whether somebody's heart belonged somewhere else.When they chose someone, they simply chose them.No conditions.No complications.No ghosts from the past standing quietly between them.I looked away before the thought could hurt more than it already did.“But none of that actually answers the real problem.”The hot chocolate had begun to cool in my hands, and I found myself staring at the thin ribbons of steam still rising

Evelyn 's POVI frowned.“What do you mean?”Frank shoved both hands into the pockets of his jacket and leaned casually against the table, looking infuriatingly comfortable.“What I mean is that you seem absolutely convinced that Julian treats everyone the way he treats you, and I genuinely have no idea where you got that impression.”I blinked.Frank continued before I could answer.“Let's think about this logically for a second, because despite popular mythology, men are actually very practical creatures, and men like Julian are even worse.”That made me laugh despite myself.“That's not exactly a glowing endorsement.”“No, but it's accurate.”His grin widened.“You know what Julian is like when it comes to work, right? You know he measures everything, tracks everything, optimizes everything, and treats time like it's a non-renewable natural resource, so I need you to ask yourself a serious question.”The lantern light cast long shadows across the campsite.Lemon sighed dramatically

Evelyn's POVI dropped into a crouch almost immediately, and an instant later she crashed into my arms like a golden missile, planting her front paws directly on my shoulders while her tail wagged with such alarming force that it looked capable of generating its own weather system, and before I could stop her, she was already shoving her face into the crook of my neck and enthusiastically covering every inch of exposed skin with dog slobber.“Okay, okay, I missed you too,” I laughed, trying and failing to preserve even a shred of dignity while Lemon made it abundantly clear that she considered our reunion the most important event of the evening.And somehow, despite everything that had happened only an hour earlier, despite the fear that still lingered at the edges of my thoughts and the emotional exhaustion weighing on my chest, that was the moment when I genuinely smiled for the first time all night, because there was something wonderfully uncomplicated about being loved by a dog wh

Evelyn's POVThe words came more easily now that they had finally been released.“Instead, I've spent all this time taking up his attention, taking up his time, taking up his affection, and accepting all the things he keeps giving me as though I have some right to them, and then, on top of that, I still get angry when he lies to me, still get hurt when he makes decisions behind my back, and still act as though I'm the injured party.”The night seemed impossibly quiet around us.Even the distant sounds of the campground felt far away.“That's why I keep feeling guilty,” I admitted, my voice growing softer with every word. “Because if I truly loved Julian the way I claim I do, then shouldn't I want him to be happy? Shouldn't I want him to end up with the person he's spent years loving, the person he couldn't forget, the person who's occupied that space in his heart for so long?”I swallowed hard.“Shouldn't I be rooting for that girl instead of secretly hoping she'll never show up?”A b

Evelyn 's POVThe lantern light stretched across the gravel beneath our feet.“The whole girlfriend story was a lie that happened on impulse, and it was Julian who suggested it first, Julian who told me to go along with it and pretend to be his girlfriend for the evening, and even though I knew perfectly well that it was a terrible idea and that getting involved in that kind of game would only make everything more complicated, I still said yes.”The wind moved quietly through the trees.For a few moments, I listened to it.Then I continued.“Sometimes I tell myself that I only agreed because the situation was awkward, because I didn't know how to refuse him in front of everyone, because it felt easier to go along with the lie than create a scene, and for a long time I genuinely tried to believe that explanation.”A humorless laugh escaped me.“But if I'm being completely honest with myself, I already know that's not the real answer.”The words came more quietly now.“Because by then,

Evelyn's POV“I told him that. I told him I needed distance. I told him that if I stayed close to him, things would only get more complicated.”A bitter smile touched my lips.“He disagreed.”The wind shifted through the trees above us.“So instead, we made a deal.”I laughed softly.Even now it sounded ridiculous.“We agreed to be allies.”The word felt almost absurd spoken aloud.“Not lovers. Not friends. Not anything with a real name attached to it. Just two people who understood each other better than anyone else and who would stay in each other's lives because walking away seemed harder than staying.”Frank remained silent.Listening.“He told me about a girl.”My voice grew quieter.“A girl he'd loved for years.”The ache in my chest sharpened instantly.“He told me he'd loved her for so long that even after she rejected him, he still couldn't let her go, and the way he spoke about her wasn't casual or nostalgic or anything remotely temporary. It sounded like the kind of love th

Evelyn's POVI practically fled the car after that.The second the seatbelt released, I lowered my head so quickly it probably looked suspicious and climbed out before Julian could say anything else capable of shortening my lifespan.Unfortunately, escaping the car did absolutely nothing to save me

Evelyn's POVHe glanced once at the screen, almost like he was waiting for a line of dialogue to pass before answering me, and only then slowly turned to look back at me. The timing of it made him impossible to read. I couldn’t tell whether he had genuinely been thinking about the question, or whet

Evelyn's POV“I just moved in,” I said at last, finally forcing myself to speak before the silence turned unbearable, then awkwardly held the pudding out toward him a little more. “I originally made this for… the neighbor across the hall.”The sentence sounded increasingly stupid the longer it hung
