Chapter 166
“Sure thing.”
It was a brisk Saturday morning when Charlene returned to the Ross family home for a hearty breakfast, during which she inquired about Vernon’s latest venture.
Assured everything was on track, Charlene felt a wave of relief wash over her.
By the afternoon, a little past two, she was on the road, her car packed and ready for the weekend camping trip.
Upon her arrival, Granger and Daisy had just pulled in.
Granger’s crew was already busy setting up tents and getting the barbecue grill ready.
A recent snowfall had blanketed the mountains, turning the campsite into a winter wonderland.
Daisy, spotting Charlene, dragged her off excitedly to build a snowman, a pastime she used to enjoy with
asmine.
Building a snowman was an easy task for Charlene.
Quickly, they crafted a petite snow figure.
Daisy, ever so thoughtful, had even brought a scarf for their frosty creation, and dashed off to find a carrot for
its nose.
Granger approached Charlene, his footsteps crunching in the snow.
Without preamble, he asked, “So, you’re working at PrimeStar now?”
Charlene, focused on adjusting the snowman’s scarf, simply nodded, “Yeah.”
Recalling their chilly encounter at Neural Nexus Tech, where her indifference towards Thorne and Vesta was palpable, he probed, “How long have you been there?”
“A while now,” she replied, her attention still on the snowman.
Granger, sensing her reluctance to divulge more, shifted gears, “Five times.”
Charlene paused, understanding he meant she would need to accompany Daisy five times in total.
“Got it,” she acknowledged.
With two scarves in tow, Daisy declared their next project would be a larger snowman, to pair with the smaller one, just like her and Charlene. She enlisted Granger’s help with a bossy charm only a child could muster.
Granger complied without a word.
After they finished the larger snowman, Daisy insisted on a photo op with Charlene.
Granger, with his cellphone in hand, caught Charlene’s radiant smile through his lens, taking several quick snapshots.
Time flew by in their snowy playground, and as dusk approached, the scent of barbecue wafted through the air, and lights began to twinkle inside the tents.
Granger offered, “Seafood sound good?”
Charlene nodded in agreement. He handed her a few skewers.
The campsite buzzed with activity, not crowded but certainly lively, with plans for a bonfire party later in the evening.
Want to join in?” Granger asked.

“I’m up for anything.”
Just as Granger was about to respond, his phone rang. It was Moran calling.
Stepping away, Granger answered.
“Drinks later?” Moran suggested.
“Not tonight, you guys go ahead.”
“What are you up to-”
Just then, Daisy came bounding over, a skewer of grilled chicken in hand, “Uncle, try this.”
Granger bent down to accept it.
Hearing the exchange, Moran asked, “You’re having a barbecue?”
“Yeah.”
“Where at?”
“Outdoors,” Granger replied tersely, “Went camping.”
“Dude! With all the snow, it’s perfect for a snowball fight and a bonfire. How come I didn’t think of that!”
Then it dawned on him, “Wait, you went camping and didn’t invite us?! Was that woman with Daisy there?”
Granger cut him off, “Next time, for sure.”
“Wait, I can call Thorne and the others, we could come-”
Granger interjected, “Got to go.”
He hung up before Moran could respond, turning his attention back to the festivities at hand.

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...
