Chapter 158
Worried they might get bumped into, Granger shadowed them closely, ready to shield them if anyone came too
close.
But today, the place was just swamped.
They’d only been at it for a little over an hour when two girls bumped into them.
Daisy was fine, but Charlene ended up crashing into Granger.
Instinctively, Granger wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in, securing her safely against him.
The sudden closeness to his broad chest took Charlene by surprise, making her uneasy. She attempted to push away but then noticed something was off with her foot. Granger didn’t release his hold. “Twisted your ankle?” he asked.
“It seems like it…”
Granger called over a staff member to look after Daisy while he bent down to scoop Charlene up in his arms.
Charlene had thought he would ask a staff member to help her. Being suddenly lifted by him, she was a bit stunned and then protested, “Put me down, I-”
Granger cut her off, “The medic’s already waiting. Let’s sort out your foot first.”
Charlene paused, then stopped struggling.
Once inside the house, Granger gently placed Charlene down.
The waiting medic examined her and found it
as just a minor dislocation. After a quick fix, Charlene was as
good as new.
Granger asked, “Still up for skiing?”
“I’m fine, we can continue.”
She didn’t want to dampen Daisy’s spirits by calling it a day.
Hearing from the medic that her leg was indeed okay, he didn’t object.
Meanwhile, someone was watching them from a distance.
“Leah? What are you looking at?”
Leah replied, “I thought I saw someone I know.”
From the side, the person really looked a lot like Granger. But he was with a kid and a woman, so it couldn’t be him, right?
Just as she tried to get a clearer look, the person put back on his hat and goggles and left.
Over the next hour, Charlene and Daisy got bumped into two more times, but without any injuries.
Seeing Granger holding her hand to support her, Charlene gently pulled away, saying, “I’m okay now, thank you.” Only then did Granger release her wrist.
By noon, they left the ski resort for a nearby diner.
Granger passed the menu to her, letting her pick what to eat.
That’s when Daisy remembered something and asked Charlene, “Lady, what’s your name?”
“Charlene Ross, call me Charlene.”
Daisy nodded, “Ms. Ross.”

Charlene smiled, caressing her cheek.
Perhaps skiing had worn her out because Daisy started nodding off before they even finished eating, Granger lifted Daisy into his arms, wiping the grease from the corners of her mouth.
Charlene, having almost finished her meal, put down her fork and said, “Shall we call it a day?”
“Sure.” But Granger didn’t immediately get up. Instead, he looked at her and asked, “Can I ask you out again?”
Charlene answered, “Sure.”
He had been a help, and since Daisy needed her, it only seemed right to help him out in return.
“Thank you.”
“It’s my pleasure.”
With Daisy asleep, Charlene felt they had little else to say to each other, so she just turned and left.
Watching her drive away, Granger stood for a moment before getting into his car.
When he got home, Daisy was awake.
“Did Ms. Ross leave?”
“Yeah.” Holding her, Granger suddenly said, “Daisy, from now on, just call her miss, not Ms. Ross, okay? And, let’s keep Ms. Ross‘ name a secret, just between us, alright?”
Daisy nodded obediently, “Okay.”

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...
