Chapter 148
smine snuggled closer into Charlene’s embrace, burying her small face in the warmth of her neck to escape the biting chill of the evening air.
Charlene’s coat was soft and cozy, and Jasmine took full advantage of the comfort, rubbing her cheek affectionately against Charlene’s neck.
Thome was usually punctual, a trait he took quite seriously.
Just as Charlene was carrying Jasmine to the parking lot, Thorne’s car rolled in, almost as if on cue. He pulled up right next to them, the car coming to a halt at Charlene’s feet.
Seeing them, Jasmine didn’t make any move to get down; instead, she rolled down the window and, with a playful whine, said to Thorne sitting inside, “Daddy, carry me inside.”
Without a word, Thorne got out of the car and scooped Jasmine into his arms, her little legs kicking happily.
As Thorne approached, Charlene caught a whiff of his cologne – the distinct scent of Vesta. She hadn’t
oticed it when he was sitting next to her earlier.
That meant he had visited the Spencer family after leaving their side.
Thorne looked at her and said, “It’s getting cold. Let’s head back.”
Charlene took a step back and replied, “Got it.”
Jasmine cheerfully said, “Bye, Mommy.”
Charlene responded softly, “Bye.”
Thorne, holding Jasmine, got back into the car. Charlene didn’t wait for them to drive off; she turned around and made her way to where her car was parked.
Thorne watched her walk away for a moment before telling the driver, “Let’s go,” and the car merged back into the traffic.
As Charlene was about to reach her car, Granger stepped out from his vehicle and called out, “Charlene.”
Caught off guard and mistaking him for a stranger, Charlene turned around. It took her a moment to recognize Granger.
She assumed it was a coincidental meeting since they hadn’t booked the entire hotel exclusively, and it wasn’t impossible for Granger to have business there too.
She nodded at Granger as a greeting, unlocked her car, and was about to leave.
Seeing that Charlene still looked at him as if he were a stranger, Granger stood still.
As Charlene opened her car door, she saw Granger still looking at her, seemingly wanting to say something She asked, with a hint of coldness and distance, “Is there something you need?”
Granger hesitated.
In the end, he didn’t bring up the evening’s events.
He said, “Daisy has a gift for you. Would you have time for a meal together in the next few days?”
Daisy had been through a lot, both physically and emotionally.
She had once told Charlene that she reminded her of her late mother.
So, Charlene understood Daisy’s attachment.
Truth be told, she was rather fond of Daisy.
Under normal circumstances, she would set aside her personal grievances with Granger to spend time with

Daisy.
But to meet just for Daisy’s sake…
Then, Granger added unexpectedly, “I can lend a hand with a project your uncle is working on.”
Charlene was taken aback.
Granger kept it brief. He simply said, “Think about it. If you decide you want my help, feel free to call me anytime.”
Charlene didn’t respond. Truthfully, she didn’t trust him. Because he was close with both Vesta and Thorne.
Even if Granger’s offer to help was genuine, and even if the project with her uncle turned out successful, if a conflict arose with Vesta in the future, who’s to say he wouldn’t side with Thorne and Vesta, using the project as leverage against her and her uncle?

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...
