Chapter 192
Jasmine nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
All she wanted was not to be left alone.
Thorne made a quick call to Granger, asking him if he could take Jasmine out for the day.
Granger was on board, “Sure thing.”
Come Saturday, Granger took Jasmine and Daisy to the local amusement park.
There were attractions aplenty, from the whimsical to the adrenaline–pumping. Yet, for all the variety, Jasmine seemed disinterested, a shadow of her usually lively self.
It was clear something was weighing on her mind.
Granger returned with ice creams for her and Daisy, handing one to each.
poking at her face, which reminded him of Charlene, he asked, “Minnie, not feeling up to it today?”
As she gently swung back and forth, Jasmine licked her ice cream and whispered, “I kinda miss my mom.”
Back when they lived abroad, it wasn’t unusual for months to pass without seeing her mom. But, her mom would call every day, video chat even.
Lately, her mom had been busy, yet she’d still answer Jasmine’s calls every few days and make it a point to cook for her when she was home.
But now, Jasmine’s calls went unanswered. This was uncharted territory for them.
Granger, aware of the divorce between Charlene and Thorne and the custody decision favoring Thorne, was out of the loop on the current state of their relationship.
Hearing Jasmine’s concerns, Granger inquired, “What happened?”
Jasmine shared her worries about her mom not answering her calls.
Granger knew Jasmine was in the dark about her parents‘ divorce.
Hearing her concerns, Granger found himself at a loss for words, eventually saying, “Your mom probably didn’t mean to miss your calls. She’s just caught up with work right now. It’ll get better.”
Jasmine nodded, “Yeah, dad said the same.”
Granger fell silent, not knowing what else to say.
Daisy, seeing Jasmine upset, chimed in, “I miss my aunt too. But my uncle says she’s busy as well. Adults are always caught up in something. It’ll get better.”
Jasmine nodded again, “Okay.”
Granger hadn’t reached out to Charlene, not because she was busy, but because he feared the divorce and losing custody of Jasmine had taken a toll on her. He worried that asking her to spend time with Daisy might bring back painful memories and worsen her mood.
Around five in the afternoon, after wrapping up his work, Thorne called Granger, “Where are you guys?”
After getting the location, Thorne drove over to meet them.
“Daddy!”
Despite Granger’s kindness, the sight of Thorne lifted Jasmine’s spirits like no other.
Thorne, leaving his coat in the car and dressed in a sleek suit, bent down to lift her into his arms and squeezed
her cheek, asking, “Did you have fun with Granger and Daisy today?”

Jasmine’s mood had visibly improved.
She nodded, “Yeah, it was fun!”
She clung to Thorne, refusing to let go.
Thorne carried her into the restaurant, only setting her down once they were inside a private dining area, before turning to Granger, “Thanks for today.”
“It was nothing,” Granger replied. “The girls entertained themselves, really. Made it easy for me.”
With the kids preoccupied, Granger turned to Thorne, hinting, “I know you’ve got Minnie’s custody, but what about visitation rights? How’s that going to work?”
Thorne caught the drift of his concern, chuckling, “You think I’m stopping her from seeing Jasmine?”

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...
