Chapter 169
Thorne didn’t look at Charlene as he gently tapped Jasmine on the nose, “Daddy’s got to work, pumpkin. Be good and listen to your mom, okay?”
“Okay,” Jasmine mumbled reluctantly. She glanced at Charlene, then slowly reached out her hand as she approached her, a quiet offer of peace.
Charlene took her hand and after nodding to the housekeeper, they left the house.
By the time they reached the Ross household, Irma had already been there for a bit.
Upon seeing only Charlene and Jasmine without Thorne, Irma’s face fell. “Where’s Thorne? Busy again?”
Charlene simply nodded.
Irma, visibly annoyed, reached for her phone to call Thorne. However, Helena, already aware of Charlene and Thorne’s impending divorce, felt it was unnecessary for Thorne to show up.
She stopped Irma, saying, “He’s swamped with work, I totally get it. Let’s not pressure him.”
Inside, Jasmine ran upstairs to play video games with Carl.
Charlene stayed downstairs, keeping the two old ladies company.
Irma was overjoyed when she saw Helena’s new paintings, especially learning they were crafted with the art supplies Charlene had gifted her for her birthday. She showed great interest in the set.
When the conversation shifted back to Thorne, Irma asked, “Thorne didn’t forget to prepare something, did he?” “He did prepare something,” Helena said, her tone dipping slightly. “The emerald jewelry set he chose is exquisite, and the embroidered piece he sent over is lovely.”
Irma chuckled, “Well, that’s more like it. Seems he took my words to heart.”
Charlene stayed silent, listening in.
After spending some time in the study, they moved to the garden for tea.
Helena, looking at the house across the street, remarked, “It’s strange, that house was under renovation day and night, as if the owners couldn’t wait to move in. But then, all of a sudden, the work just stopped.”
“Maybe they ran into some issues,” Irma speculated.
“Could be.”
Charlene had been thinking of selling that house but hesitated, fearing it might end up in the hands of the Hawkins or Spencer families.
So, she had left it untouched and hadn’t even gone inside since it had connections to the Spencer family.
While lost in thought, Charlene sneezed suddenly, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Both Irma and Helena immediately showed concern, “Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?”
Charlene grabbed a tissue, “Maybe. I did feel a bit under the weather last night, just not as much as Daisy.”
Helena and Irma had been friends for years, yet Helena hadn’t mentioned anything about the incidents at her birthday party or about Thorne and Vesta’s situation.
Their conversation remained light and cheerful.
After a while, Connie called Charlene, ranting about running into Thorne with the Hawkins family at a restaurant again.
Connie exclaimed, “Why does this keep happening to me? I don’t want to see this stuff!“.

Then, asking where Charlene was, she informed her, “I’m at my grandma’s.”
“Afe you heading back alone?”
“No. Minnie and Irma are here too.”
Connie quickly connected the dots, “So, Thorne didn’t accompany you back to your house but went to be with the Hawkins lot near Vesta’s?”

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...
