Evelyn's POV

His 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, leaving behind nothing but a stretch of cold, muted blue.

“What do you think?” I asked instead.

He didn’t reply, but I felt his arms tighten around me, just slightly, as if he were afraid I might fa

  • 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 251

    Evelyn's POV“The truth is that I was already waiting for something to break. I was waiting for some moment that would force me to stop making excuses and finally see things clearly, because deep down I think I already knew the marriage wasn't working, but knowing something and acting on it are two very different things.”I glanced at him briefly.“You didn't create that process.”The wind stirred through the trees.“You just accelerated it.”Julian turned toward me.The expression on his face softened slightly.“So does that mean you've forgiven me?”I laughed quietly.The sound disappeared into the darkness almost immediately.“I think so.”His eyebrows lifted.“Just like that?”“Not exactly.”I looked down at the gravel path beneath our feet.“It's more that the older I get, the harder it becomes to place all the responsibility on you, because when I strip everything else away and look at what actually happened, I don't think I have as much right to blame you as I once thought.”I

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 250

    Evelyn's POV“There’s something I've wanted to apologize for properly for a long time,” he said quietly, keeping his eyes on the path ahead rather than looking at me, though the seriousness in his voice carried more weight than any direct eye contact could have. “Not over the phone, not in the middle of an argument, and not in one of those conversations where both people are already angry before they start talking, but like this—face to face, with no distractions and no excuses.”The wind stirred the branches overhead.He let out a slow breath.“Seattle was my fault.”There was no hesitation this time.No attempt to soften it.No attempt to justify it.“No matter how many reasons I thought I had, and no matter how jealous I was of Sebastian at the time, I had no right to make that decision for you, and I definitely had no right to push you into a situation like that simply because I believed it would eventually lead you somewhere better.”His voice remained calm, but there was somethi

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 4

    Evelyn's POVWhen I woke up, it was already 8:30. Crap! Totally broke my 7 a.m. morning run streak. And of course… all thanks to this man. God knows how we ended up going all the way until 5 a.m. last night. Honestly, I think I passed out from exhaustion in the end.I only planned to do it once… af

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 3

    Evelyn's POVI’m pretty sure his brain took a swim in Lake Como. Otherwise why on earth would he suddenly want to sleep with me again?I still remember that ridiculous line of his—— “I don’t do easy.”Well, if you don’t want me, I don’t want you either. Same rule I’ve got for Sebastian—I’m not turn

  • One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin   Chapter 40

    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
