Chapter 211
Nadine and Carl came over, asking Daisy if she wanted to try out the water slide.
Daisy glanced at the colorful water slide in the distance and eagerly nodded her head.
The slide was on the yacht, indoors, and heated like a hot spring, so it wasn’t cold even in the middle of winter.
It was the kind of fun that both kids and adults could enjoy, though it was mainly the domain of teenagers and children.
Charlene and Granger tried it out a few times but soon lost interest.
However, Daisy, Nadine, and Carl were having the time of their lives.
Charlene settled into a nearby chair, soaking up the warmth like she was relaxing in a hot tub.
Just then, Granger handed her a drink.
Thanks,” Charlene said, accepting the glass.
“No problem,” Granger replied, taking a seat not too far from her. “How old are they?”
“Daisy’s 16, and Carl’s 14.”
“Do you often bring them out for a fun day like this?”
Charlene shook her head. “Used to, but I’ve been caught up with work lately, so not as much.”
Granger’s phone rang, interrupting the conversation.
Seeing the caller ID, he excused himself. “I’ve got to take this.”
“Sure,” Charlene nodded.
Granger stepped a bit farther away before answering. “Thorne.”
“Where are you?” Thorne’s voice came through.
“On a yacht.”
“Out on the sea?”
“Yeah,” Granger replied, his gaze drifting back to Charlene. “Something up?”
“Yeah, Minnie wanted to hang out with Daisy. Told me to give you a call.”
“We’re out at sea right now. Maybe next time.”
“Alright.”
Thorne kept it brief and hung up.
By lunchtime, the five of them gathered for a seafood feast.
In the afternoon, they lounged on the deck, soaking up the sun and trying their hand at fishing. Eventually, Daisy, Nadine, and Carl wore themselves out and, after a bit of fishing, dozed off on the lounge chairs. Granger had some business to attend to and made a few calls from afar.
When he returned, he saw Charlene absorbed in a book.
Though he had studied finance in college, the book she was reading looked familiar.
He quickly realized it was the same one he often saw Thorne with.
Watching Charlene engrossed in her reading, Granger paused for a moment.
It took a while before Charlene noticed him again when he adjusted the blanket over Daisy, which had been

‘stirred by the sea breeze.
Granger took a seat and remarked, “That book… you read it often?”
He emphasized “also,” hinting at another reader.
Charlene immediately understood he meant Thorne.
She nodded. “Yeah.”
Her focus on the book, her demeanor… it reminded Granger a lot of Thorne.
It wasn’t about their looks, but rather the intensity in their expressions.
In that moment, Granger realized that Charlene and Thorne were, in some ways, kindred spirits, sharing a love for the same field.
With that in mind, they should have plenty to talk about.
However…
Remembering the rumors about their marriage, Granger’s eyes darkened.
People claimed she tricked Thorne into marrying her. He took their word for it without doubting. But after hanging out with her more, he felt she wasn’t really like that.
Her thoughts didn’t seem that complicated.
After dinner, the yacht began heading back to shore.
By the end of the day, Nadine, Carl, and Daisy had grown quite close.
Even with Granger, Nadine and Carl seemed at ease, casually waving goodbye as they left. “See you next time, Granger.”
Granger nodded, his gaze shifting to Charlene. “See you next time.”

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...
