Chapter 110
言
Charlene couldn’t help but think there was more to it.
Maybe, just maybe, this was Thorne’s way of making it up to Vesta’s aunt’s family for not letting them move into the house across from her uncle’s. After all, knowing how much Thorne cared for Vesta, how could he stand to see her in any discomfort for his sake?
Stewart chimed in, “If she’s really been holding back her true strength, then-”
Despite Professor Kenton’s reputation for being tough, all the students, including them, surprisingly got along well with him. Behind his stern exterior, Kenton had a soft heart.
However, he was also a man who strongly adhered to his principles. If Vesta had the talent and potential, Kenton wouldn’t let any personal grudges between Charlene and Vesta stop him from taking her under his wing.
So…
Charlene quickly regained her composure, suggesting, “Let’s just focus on our own progress for now.”
That was all she could do–focus on improving herself.
That evening, she got home a bit later than usual, to find Irma already asleep. However, Thorne was nowhere to be seen, possibly not coming back at all that night. But after her shower, to her surprise, there he was.
He had come back after all.
Seeing him, she paused briefly, nodding in greeting–a silent acknowledgment of his presence.
She didn’t ask why he had met with Professor Kenton that day, and Thorne offered no explanation, heading straight for the shower after a brief glance her way.
The next morning, Charlene woke up a bit later than usual. As she came downstairs, she overheard Irma teasing Thorne, “I was still up at ten last night, and you were nowhere to be found. Thought you decided not to grace us with your presence again!”
Thorne, seated across from his grandmother, sipped his water nonchalantly, not bothering to reply.
Irma tapped the table, feigning annoyance, “Speak up! Don’t play mute with me!”
Setting down his water glass, Thorne glanced over at Charlene descending the stairs before calmly turning back, “Didn’t you say I had to be home because you wanted me to join you for something this morning?”
“Hmph, I thought my words just went in one ear and out the other with you!”
“Your grandson wouldn’t dare.”
His tone was light, his expression indifferent–not showing the slightest sign of apprehension.
Exasperated, Irma turned her attention to Charlene, beckoning her over.
Charlene approached, asking, “Grandma, are you two planning to go out?”
“Not ‘you two, dear, ‘us‘!” Irma corrected with a smile. “We’re all going. Charlene, where would you like to go? I’ll let you decide.”
Charlene often found herself at a loss for suggestions when it came to entertainment that everyone would enjoy.
“I’m open to anything, really. It’s up to you,” she replied.
Irma already had an idea in mind. “How about a day at the spa then? We talked about going last time but ended up getting sidetracked and I got all worked up over nothing. This time, I’m making sure someone makes it up to me.”

That someone was obviously Thorne.
Thorne, hearing this, continued his tea–drinking, unfazed by the reminder of the past incident or showing any sign of discomfort.
It was as if that episode meant nothing to him, not worth a second thought.
With that, Charlene looked away. She had already experienced a spa day before and wasn’t particularly excited about the idea now.
But since her grandmother had set her heart on it, she simply agreed, “Sounds good.”

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...
