Chapter 206
That’s good to hear.” Granger felt a sense of relief and didn’t press further.
Charlene exchanged a quick goodbye with Stewart before leaving the office.
When she arrived at the house and entered Jasmine’s room, Thorne was seated at the desk engrossed in work. Seeing her, he glanced up and said, “You’re here.”
Charlene replied, “… Yeah.” She set her purse down and moved to the bed to check on Jasmine.
Jasmine was still hooked up to an IV, looking a bit tired with her brow furrowed as she slept.
Charlene didn’t wake her and instead asked Thorne, “How is she doing?”
“When I got back, she was in pain, but she seems to be doing much better now.”
“Okay.”
Charlene settled into an armchair nearby, pulled out a book, and planned to read while waiting for Jasmine to wake up.
Thorne glanced over, asking, “Have you eaten yet?”
Charlene shook her head and replied, “No.”
Just as Thorne was about to say something more, Jasmine stirred awake.
Spotting Charlene, she exclaimed in surprise, “Mom? You’re home!”
“Yes.” Charlene closed her book, moved to sit by the bed, and before she could speak, Jasmine sat up to hug her neck, adding, “Mom, you’re finally back.”
Feeling her daughter’s soft little body against her, Charlene hesitated for a moment before returning the embrace, careful of the IV line.
After resting with the IV for over half an hour, Jasmine seemed much more energetic and sheepishly admitted, “Mom, I’m hungry.”
Thorne turned in his chair, asking, “Should we have someone bring food up?”
Jasmine peeked out from Charlene’s arms, replying, “No, I want to eat something you made, Mom.”
Charlene considered this. “How about we eat what’s ready now, and I’ll cook for you next time?” “Okay,” Jasmine pouted a bit but quickly added, “but you have to eat with me, Mom.”
“Of course.”
Jasmine visibly brightened with Charlene’s presence.
With the IV almost finished, Thorne carefully removed the needle, and Jasmine promptly demanded to be carried downstairs for dinner.
As Charlene lifted her, she noticed Jasmine felt a bit heavier and slightly taller. Had she really grown this much in just twenty days?
“Mom?” Jasmine reached up to touch Charlene’s face, sensing something was on her mind.

Charlene said nothing, just carried her downstairs.
Thorne closed his laptop, trailing behind them, and when he saw Jasmine grinning on Charlene’s shoulder, he gently pinched her cheek.
Jasmine, in high spirits, didn’t mind.

Chapter 206
Downstairs, Jasmine sat beside Charlene, picking at the food Charlene served her while chatting about what she wanted for breakfast the next day.
Seeing Jasmine was mostly back to her usual self, Charlene explained, “I have some work to do later, so we’ll have to save those breakfast plans for next time.”
Thorne glanced at Charlene but kept quiet.
Jasmine wasn’t satisfied. “Mom, you’re always busy with work. You finally came back, and now you’re leaving again? I don’t like it!”
Seeing her daughter’s puffed–up cheeks, Charlene realized that visiting just once a month wasn’t enough. “Alright,” she relented, “Mom will stay with you tonight.”
Jasmine beamed and quickly added, “And take me to school tomorrow.”
Charlene, eating, nodded, “Okay.”
Having missed Charlene, after dinner, Jasmine dragged her upstairs, eagerly sharing stories from school about Ter friends, teachers, and hobbies.
Charlene listened and after a while noticed Thorne leaning against the doorframe, watching them with a soft expression. She wondered when he had come over.

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...
