Chapter 108
Although it was an old villa neighborhood, the environment of the villa was quite pleasant. Plus, given that Starfall City’s real estate prices were among the highest in the country, acquiring this villa would set one back by a few hundred million at least.
She certainly didn’t have that kind of money, not at the moment.
Thorne had only recently returned. Loosening the knot of his tie, he listened to her proposition, seemingly amused by it, and quirked an eyebrow lightly, saying in a casual tone, “You want to give me money?”
“Yes, I-”
“No need,” he interrupted, setting aside his loosened tie, “I can afford that amount.”
With that, he also placed his watch on the table and headed into the bathroom.
Charlene watched him walk away, a bit shocked, and then decided not to push the issue further. Throughout their marriage, she had hardly ever asked him for anything, always trying not to bother him,
Looking back, this house could be considered the first thing he had offered her of his own volition in all these
years.
Perhaps, this could serve as a memento for their marriage, which was nearing its end.
With that thought, Charlene placed the house deed in a drawer.
After a couple of super busy days, Charlene finally caught a break on the fourth day. Both she and Thorne had been preoccupied, leaving little time to spend with Jasmine. At noon, Jasmine called, asking if Charlene was free, mentioning that it had been a long time since Charlene had picked her up from school.
Hearing this, and with not much left to do, Charlene decided to leave work early that afternoon to pick Jasmine up from school.
Jasmine expressed a desire to eat Charlene’s home–cooked meals, so upon returning home, Charlene changed her clothes and headed to the kitchen.
Irma was delighted to see Charlene cooking and decided to call Thorne, urging him to come home for dinner.
Thorne declined over the phone, “Grandma, I’m still tied up with work.”
Irma wasn’t pleased but quickly perked up and, after ending the call, suggested to Charlene, “Why don’t you deliver some dinner to Thorne?”
Charlene hesitated, replying, “Grandma, if he’s busy, let’s not disturb him-”
“He has to eat, busy or not.”
“Gran-” Before Charlene could finish, Irma decisively said, “That’s settled then.”
And so, Irma directed Latonia and the others to prepare a couple more dishes.
Given Irma’s insistence, Charlene found it hard to object further.
However, the real challenge was in delivering the meal to Thorne, especially since she didn’t even know which company he was currently with.
Besides, Thorne likely had other plans after work, and her effort might end up being in vain.
With these thoughts, Charlene seized an opportunity to call Thorne.
It took him a moment to answer, “What’s up?”
“Grandma wants me to deliver dinner to you,” Charlene blurted out before he could say anything else, adding, “If you have other plans, I’ll just let her know.”

She was convinced Thorne would decline the offer. Her intention was essentially to get him to play along with
he
okay, tell grandma-” Just as Thorne began to speak, Charlene heard Vesta’s voice in the background.
“Thorne, your dinner has arrived.”
Charlene paused.
Thorne responded to Vesta, “Okay.” Then, addressing Charlene, he said, “I’ve got dinner plans here; let grandma
know.”
Charlene wasn’t surprised.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll let her know,” she replied.
“Okay.”
Following that, Thorne promptly ended the call.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
