One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 235
Evelyn's POVThe name hit me like a physical blow, and suddenly every thought inside my head scattered in different directions while my lungs seemed to forget how to work properly, because Sebastian wasn't just a random name in this story but my husband, my ex-husband, Julian's cousin, the man whose wedding Julian had attended, the man whose relationship Julian had been forced to watch from the sidelines for years, and the man Frank had just identified as the reason for an entire decade of heartbreak. Meanwhile, Frank casually took another sip of his hot chocolate and leaned back against the table with infuriating composure, looking for all the world like someone discussing ordinary facts instead of detonating an emotional bomb in the middle of my life.“Evelyn,” he said at last, and there was now genuine disbelief in his voice, the kind that comes from watching an intelligent person repeatedly miss something obvious, “I honestly don't understand how you've managed to do this, because

Evelyn 's POVThe lantern light flickered.“So naturally we became curious.”A smile touched his face.“And once we became curious, the answer wasn't especially difficult to figure out.”The blood rushed loudly in my ears.“Because people don't voluntarily drive across the city several times a week to sit around at a riding club unless there's a reason.”I swallowed.“Then one day,” Frank continued, his voice softening slightly as though he already knew how the story ended before he reached the ending, “he stopped going.”The campsite suddenly felt very far away.The trees.The wind.The lantern.Everything seemed distant.“He stopped showing up. He stopped making excuses. He stopped finding reasons to be there, and from that point forward it was almost like watching somebody close a door and lock it behind them.”My throat tightened.Painfully.“And after that he changed.”Frank looked down at the dirt beneath his feet.“He started working like a man trying to exhaust himself. He fil
One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 233
Evelyn's POVFrank's gaze drifted toward the darkness beyond the campsite, toward the endless stretch of trees standing beneath the night sky, and for a moment he seemed less like someone having a conversation and more like someone reopening a memory he hadn't visited in years.“The truth is, a group of us spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out who the woman was, because for years she existed in our lives almost like an urban legend, the kind of person nobody had ever seen and yet everybody somehow knew was real.”I frowned.“What do you mean?”Frank laughed softly.“I mean exactly that. None of us had ever met her. None of us knew her name, knew what she looked like, knew where she lived, or even knew whether she had the slightest idea that Julian existed, and yet every single one of us knew there was somebody, because Julian made it impossible not to notice.”The lantern beside the tent swayed gently in the wind.“The first time I realized something was wrong was whe

Evelyn 's POVThe wind moved softly through the trees, carrying with it the scent of pine and distant woodsmoke, while somewhere beyond the campsite the mountains disappeared into darkness so complete that it felt as though the entire world had narrowed to the small circle of lantern light surrounding us.I looked down at the cooling hot chocolate in my hands.For a moment, I wasn't sure how to explain something that sounded so selfish once it was spoken aloud.“On top of everything else, the worst part is that I'm not nearly as selfless as I keep pretending to be.”A humorless smile tugged at my lips.“I spend so much time telling myself that if Julian really has someone he's loved for years, if there's truly a woman who's always been the person he wanted most, then the right thing for me to do would be to wish them happiness, step aside gracefully, and be genuinely happy that he finally got the ending he deserves.”Frank didn't interrupt.Didn't argue.Didn't offer reassurance.So I

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
One Night Stand With My Hubby's Cousin Chapter 230
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 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 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 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

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
