Chapter 118
Thorne just chuckled at the remark and said, “Got it before he turned on his heel and left.
As he made his way downstairs, he saw that Moran and the others were already digging in.
They were all a bit surprised to see him come down alone. Like Jasmine, they had assumed that if Thorne personally went to fetch her, Charlege would have found it hard to say no.
Granger threw out a question, “She didn’t come down, huh?”
*Thorne just nodded.
Then he turned to the staff member nearby and ordered, “Could you prepare a plate of BBQ ribs, a Caesar salad, and, oh, throw in a pot of chili too? Have it sent up to my wife, please.”
Vesta bit her lip at that. It didn’t really mean much that Thorne was having food sent up to Charlene. But…
She didn’t like how he referred to Charlene as “my wife.” As if he was affirming Charlene’s status as his wife.
Then again, she thought, the staff probably didn’t even know Charlene. Without calling her ‘my wife, who would know who he meant to send the food to?
Upstairs, Charlene was indeed feeling hungry.
The doorbell rang, and she opened the door to let the staff member with the food trolley inside.
The staff member carefully arranged the food on the table and lifted the lids to show her what each dish was.
But the moment the lids were lifted, Charlene frowned and said, “I think there’s been a mistake. I didn’t order these-”
The aroma of the spicy chili pot was enticing, and the array of seafood and meats looked delicious.
She really did want to eat it.
But that wasn’t what she had ordered.
“No mistake,” the staff member respectfully explained. “These were sent up by Mr. Henderson. The dishes you ordered are almost ready as well, and will be up shortly.”
Charlene paused.
Even two or three of her couldn’t finish all this, not counting the dishes she actually ordered.
So, her meal ended up taking quite a while.
When it was almost time for their meeting, Charlene was still eating.
Stewart started the video call early, asking Charlene for some documents. When Charlene joined, she was mid–bite, prompting Stewart to ask, “What are you eating? Looks tasty.”
Charlene turned her camera to show the feast.
As more people joined the online meeting room, they were amazed at the spread of expensive food displayed and asked, “All that? Have you guys just started eating?”
Charlene replied, “No, I’m almost done.”
“All that for just you?”
Charlene hesitated. “I didn’t order it.”
Stewart caught on: “Your husband ordered it?”
Charlene confirmed, “He had it sent up.”
Stewart concluded, “Well, at least he shows some conscience.“

Charlene didn’t want to comment on that or explain that he was probably just trying to keep his grandmother
happy.
As their scheduled meeting time approached, and Charlene felt full, she put down her chopsticks, had someone clean up, and moved her computer back to focus on work.
They got so caught up in their work that they continued well into the night, past ten, without any intention of stopping.
While Charlene and the team were deeply focused on another part of their project, the door opened. And Thorne walked in.
Charlene’s seat and the camera angle included the door, and as soon as she realized, she quickly adjusted the
camera away.

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...
