บททั้งหมดของ One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin: บทที่ 181 - บทที่ 190

Evelyn's POVHe stood there beneath the cold white spill of the headlights, dressed in a perfectly tailored dark coat, every detail about him still carrying that familiar polished elegance that used to belong to my everyday life.It had already been a month since I left the house I shared with him.One full month.In that time, I changed my phone number, avoided every place he might appear, and cut off contact so completely that it almost felt like I had erased an entire version of my life by force. I even mailed a copy of the divorce papers directly to Grace just to make the message impossible to ignore, along with a note sharp enough to border on cruel:Control your son. Tell him to stop bothering me.And honestly?It worked.For an entire month, my life had been completely free of Sebastian.No surprise visits.No flowers.No apologies.No exhausting emotional chaos dragging at my ankles every day.I had started believing that maybe things would continue this way quietly until the

Evelyn's POV“I really ended things with all of them.”Sebastian pulled out his phone so quickly it almost looked frantic, unlocking it immediately before holding it toward me like evidence in a courtroom.“You know my password,” he said urgently. “Check it yourself if you want. Every message is there. I told every single one of them it was over.”His voice cracked slightly around the edges now, desperation bleeding through all the pride he normally wore so carefully.“And every time I told them the same thing—that I love you, Evelyn.”But I never even reached for the phone.Didn’t glance at the screen.Didn’t care enough to verify whether he was lying.Because somewhere along the way, I had completely lost the desire to investigate him anymore.And that realization felt strangely final.“Every single one?” I repeated quietly.Then I looked at him properly for the first time since he arrived.“Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?”The phone stayed suspended uselessly in his ha

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

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

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.
