Chapter 116
Sapphire Springs Resort was sprawling, and Charlene had no clue where Thorne and the gang were.
Descending the stairs, she found no sign of them.
The day hadn’t turned to night just yet, so Charlene, with the help of two staff members, decided to head up the hill.
The air was crisp, but Charlene was bundled up tight and hardly felt the cold.
*Up on the hill, she let the breeze wash over her as she picked apples, a simple activity that eased her mind.
In no time, they had managed to fill two or three crates with apples.
Instead of heading back immediately, Charlene took a moment to admire the sunset, which was particularly stunning that evening.
That’s when she heard footsteps and a child’s voice.
Turning, she found herself face–to–face with Granger.
Granger, equally surprised to see her, paused for a moment.
The voice in the video called out excitedly, “It’s that lady!”
It turned out, Granger was video calling Daisy, showing her the apple trees and promising to pick some for her the next day.
He hadn’t expected to run into Charlene, who had decided to venture up the hill.
Even though they had met a few times before and Granger had lent her a hand, Charlene still felt a distance she wasn’t keen on bridging.
Her face hardened when she saw him, but softened again when she heard Daisy’s voice.
Granger noticed the change in her expression.
He didn’t approach her right away, instead asking, “Daisy wants to talk to you, is that okay?”
Leaving the convalescent home that day, Charlene had felt a profound heaviness, a suffocating sadness.
Encountering them, though it seemed like Daisy wanted her company, Charlene felt it was Daisy who was offering comfort, helping her breathe through the emotional turmoil.
With that thought, she nodded.
Granger extended his phone to her, keeping a respectful distance of a few yards.
After chatting with Daisy, who revealed she was out with her grandmother and couldn’t join Granger at
Sapphire Springs Resort, Charlene shared her enjoyment of the sunset. After a good ten minutes, she handed the phone back to Granger.
After saying goodbye to Daisy, Granger offered a simple “Thank you.”
“No need.”
By then, dusk had almost fully settled.

But the hill was lit by street lamps, making the descent easy.
Without further exchange, she turned to head down the hill, Granger following silently behind.
They reached the resort without exchanging a word and were about to enter when they ran into Vesta.
Vesta watched them show up one after another from the hill, her lips tightening into a thin line as she paused.
Charlene, acting as if Vesta wasn’t there, walked past her and into the lobby.

este wetched her leave, then turned to Granger with a frown, asking, “Granger, you guy
tran into each other on the hill, Granger said flatly.
Vista knew about Granger’s plan to video call Daisy and take pictures of the apple trees for her, so stumbling upon Charlene on the hill seemed plausible.
With this in mind, Vesta relaxed a bit, about to speak when Granger beat her to it, asking, “Where are they?” “They’re over by the gazebo. Everything’s ready for the bonfire party, they were just about to call you.”
“Alright
With that, they walked side by side towards the gazebo.

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...
