Chapter 147
Kenton replied with a simple, “Sure.”
Thorne nodded, then turned to look at Charlene and asked, “Heading back tonight?”
Charlene, still pondering over the conversation she had with Kenton, took a moment to realize Thorne was speaking to her. “No,” she said after a brief pause.
“Got it,” Thorne responded, standing up. “I’ll swing by later to pick up Minnie.”
That was his cue to leave.
Charlene responded coolly, “Okay.”
Without further ado, Thorne approached Helena, “Ma’am, I’ve got to run some errands, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Helena remained seated, her tone just as cold, “Take care, no need for formalities.”
Thorne didn’t seem bothered by Helena’s indifference. He gave Vernon a nod, a silent goodbye, and then made his way out of the banquet hall.
Granger, watching Thorne exit the hotel, paused in his step towards his car.
Thorne swiftly got into his car and drove off.
Granger watched silently from his car.
It was only after the banquet concluded that Kenton and Stewart finally left.
Jasmine had indulged in too many snacks today. Barely touching her dinner, she soon headed upstairs to play video games.
As the guests dwindled, Charlene made her way upstairs to find her.
Seeing her mother, Jasmine removed her headphones, “All done with the busy stuff?”
“Yeah.” Remembering Thorne’s words before he left, she added, “Your dad said he’ll come to pick you up tonight. Give him a call to see when he’ll arrive.”
The thought of going back and spending tomorrow with Ms. Hawkins filled Jasmine with joy. “Okay!”
After the call, Jasmine informed Charlene, “Dad said he’ll be here in fifteen minutes.”
“Alright, I got it,” Charlene replied. “Pack up your stuff, and I’ll take you downstairs to wait for your dad.” Jasmine wanted to coax Charlene into helping her pack, as her mom usually helped her with her things. But noticing that her mom seemed to be in a bad mood, Jasmine suppressed her urge to whine.
When the time was almost up, Charlene led Jasmine downstairs.
In the elevator, Jasmine, sensing her mother’s silence, shook her hand, “Mom?”
Charlene looked down, “Yes?“>
“You’ve been talking less lately.”
Jasmine had noticed a while back that her mom wasn’t calling every day or constantly checking on her as before.
She actually liked this change in her mom.
But recently, she found that besides these changes, her mom seemed to talk less even when they were together.
It was as if her mom had become more silent.
Charlene knew Jasmine well, having raised her single–handedly. That Jasmine took so long to notice the

change was more about being used to ignoring her than not observing.
Charlene looked away, “Mom’s just tired.”
oh…”
Seeing her mom genuinely tired, Jasmine didn’t press further.
The night air was particularly biting.
Stepping out of the hotel lobby, the cold wind stung their cheeks.
Jasmine clearly felt the cold, reluctant to move forward, she grabbed Charlene’s hand and buried her face in
her mom’s stomach, “So cold, mom, hold me.”
Jasmine was nearly six and quite heavy.
Charlene found it a bit of a struggle, but she still bent down to pick her up.

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...
