Chapter 172
Charlene paused but didn’t say much, taking the set of papers from him.
Charlen
Terence’s grades were quite impressive, and his fundamentals were solid. Charlene took a look at the two tests he handed over, helped him streamline his thoughts a bit, and he quickly grasped where he had gone wrong.
“Wow, Charlene, you’re amazing, thank you!”
Once he got it, Terence, unconcerned about his appearance, hunched over the coffee table and started writing
away.
After he finished the physics problems, he packed up his books and pen, declaring, “Done! Finally, I can play on my phone now!”
Charlene giggled, tossing aside the newspaper she was flipping through. Feeling a bit perked up, she thought about heading upstairs to grab a book to kill some time. Meanwhile, Terence leaned closer, lowering his voice, “Hey, Charlene, you know my racing queen, right? She was in another car race recently and totally rocked it. I
nagged a video; want to check it out?”
Charlene hesitated, her smile fading slightly, “No thanks, I’m not really into car racing.”
“Really?” Terence was surprised, having thought Charlene shared his interest, “I saw you with binoculars at the race that day; I thought you were interested…”
Charlene explained, “I was looking for some people I knew at the event that day.”
“Oh, I see…” Realizing she truly wasn’t interested, Terence didn’t press further. He turned back to his phone to continue watching Vesta’s race replay, murmuring, “My crush didn’t compete this time. I miss seeing her in action…sigh.”
Charlene announced, “I’m going to head upstairs to grab a book.”
Terence, full of energy, responded, “Sure, Charlene, you do seem more upbeat, but make sure to rest up, okay?”
Charlene nodded, “I will.” With that, she headed upstairs.
When she returned to her room, Thorne was out.
She found the book Thorne had borrowed on the desk and tucked it back into her bag. She often brought a book or two with her when she stayed over.
Not finding the book she wanted in her room, she thought it might be in Jasmine’s, so she headed there next.
Jasmine’s door was open.
Before Charlene could reach her room, she heard Jasmine talking from inside: “Ms. Hawkins, I’m so boredom you chat with me a bit longer?”
Charlene stopped in her tracks.
Moments later, Jasmine’s voice rang out, bright and cheerful: “I’ll come down for the soup soon, I promise I won’t skip it, Ms. Hawkins, don’t worry.”
Leaning against the wall, Charlene listened.
“Okay, Ms. Hawkins, bye, muah~”
After hanging up, Jasmine didn’t immediately leave her room.
Charlene, feeling unwell and coughing a bit, stepped into Jasmine’s room, catching her attention.
Jasmine was lying on her bed, kicking her feet in the air happily. Seeing Charlene, she got up, “Mom, why did you leave your room?”
Charlene replied simply, “Came to get a book.”

Jasmine grabbed her hand, asking, “Great–grandma said the soup’s ready. Do you want to come down and have some with me?”
Pulling her hand away, Charlene said, “Mommy already had some. You go on down if you haven’t had yours.”
Jasmine, still in a good mood from her phone call with Vesta, didn’t catch Charlene’s mood and cheerfully said,
“Okay, then I’ll head downstairs.”
Charlene responded, “Alright.”

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...
