All Chapters of One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Evelyn's POV“That’s exactly why you need to dive in,” Vernon said with a grin. “I’m looking forward to you wagging your finger and schooling them. Views will skyrocket.”“So… I could literally get shot on the spot?”“You scared?”“Not at all. My aim’s pretty damn good, FYI.”And that’s how we kept it going until lunchtime. When we finally decided to head to Owls Cafe for a bite, I saw Sebastian—still there. He looked tense, phone in hand, talking in that low, controlled tone that usually meant trouble.“I said, Emily… I can’t make it to the office right now. Move any appointments to tomorrow,” he said, voice barely above a growl. “Evening’s booked.”Ohhhh, Secretary Emily was not handling this well.There was a time when seeing Sebastian wait like this would’ve melted me. Now? I just wanted to roll my eyes.I pretended not to see him and strolled straight to Vernon. But no luck. Just as we sat down, Sebastian plopped into the chair next to us.“Mind if I join?” he asked.“So… who’s t

Evelyn's POVI gave Julian’s trench coat one last check, making sure it was perfect. I even spritzed a little perfume on it. I loved Julian’s scent—Maddie and I had tried to pinpoint it but never could. So I just sprayed a similar one to give it back to him.Ding—My phone buzzed again.Julian: Been waiting forever. Starting to wonder if I should cash in one of my chances.Evelyn: It hasn’t even been ten minutes…Julian: I started the timer the second we parted.Evelyn: So are you going to use one of those chances?Julian: Don’t tempt me.I grabbed the bag and headed downstairs toward the parking lot.When I saw the little sulking emoji Julian had sent, I couldn’t help smiling. It was… weirdly cute.“What’s got you smiling like that?”I froze.Because that voice belonged to Sebastian.He stood there looking at me with a warm smile, like some ghost that showed up at midnight. Except instead of comfort, a chill crept up from the soles of my feet.Was I smiling?In Sebastian’s eyes, had

Evelyn's POVComing back to our house after so long, I suddenly realized how cramped it felt.Not that it was actually much smaller than Julian’s villa. But something dawned on me the moment I stepped inside: every inch of this place had been part of the life Sebastian designed for me. On the surface, it looked cozy and comfortable. In reality, it was a beautifully renovated cage—lovely doors and windows, sure, but where the exit was had never been my decision.The house looked almost exactly the same as the day I left.The couch hadn’t moved. The lamp in the entryway still glowed that warm yellow. Even the magazine on the coffee table—the one Sebastian had casually flipped through—was still lying there with a few pages bent back, as if nothing had happened these past few weeks.But standing at the doorway, I suddenly felt… like a stranger.Every time I used to come home, I’d be bursting with energy like a puppy finally let off its leash. The door would barely shut before I kicked off

Evelyn's POVThat look seemed packed with things he wanted to say—like the words were right there on the tip of his tongue, but he forced them back down. The silence around it felt… oddly heavy.Whatever that look meant, though, I was definitely going to have to find a chance to smooth things over with him.Sure, Julian seemed patient with me—borderline indulgent, even. But who in their right mind actually believes the heir to North America’s most powerful family is some kind of saint? If he really did get into a bad mood over this and accidentally exposed my little scheme, then my carefully planned “marital counteroffensive” would probably end before intermission.The thought alone gave me a headache.Julian wasn’t exactly easy to fool. The moment those eyes dropped a little and he gave you that quiet look, you could practically feel him scanning for bullshit like a human lie detector.I sighed.Turns out cheating is not a hobby just anyone can pick up. You need time management, emot

Evelyn's POV“Babe…” Sebastian kissed my cheek, his hand slipping under my skirt, brushing along my thigh. “I’ve missed you so much…”Seriously, endless. I rolled my eyes internally and straddled his lap. If he wanted a taste, I’d give him the rhythm.I pinned his wandering hand on my ass and cupped his face. “Focus on kissing.”Once I took charge, he actually behaved… somewhat. But honestly? It wasn’t even close to kissing Julian. There was no rhythm, no finesse—just two lost fish bumping around in a tank. Sebastian’s kisses were always impatient, rough, and skill-less. I have no idea how I put up with it before. Love really can short-circuit your brain.Apparently, Sebastian was thrilled with even this little response. His breathing grew heavier, and his hands started wandering along my lower back, teasing and exploring like he’d gotten some green light.My stomach churned instantly. I forced down the nausea, faking some enthusiasm for a few more kisses. As soon as he finally relaxe
