Chapter 214
Jasmine ran excitedly towards Charlene, her little hand raised for a high–five. “Mom, we did it! We won!”
Charlene grinned, giving her daughter a high–five. “Yeah, we sure did.”
Thorne walked over, a smile playing on his lips. “Did you get it all on camera?”
“Yep,” Charlene replied, sending the video to him with a quick tap on her phone.
After the thrill of musical chairs, it was time to tackle the next adventure: the unstoppable wheel of fun.
The rules were simple: four families formed a team, each member stepping and spinning the hula hoop tape as they moved forward. The first team to reach the finish line would claim victory.
Thorne turned to Charlene. “You want to join this round?”
Jasmine nodded eagerly. “Yeah, Mom, come with me!”
Charlene was game. “Sure thing.”
As the game was about to start, Charlene glanced at her purse. She hesitated for a moment before Thorne reached out his hand. “I can hold that for you.”
“…Thanks,” Charlene said, handing it over.
For many couples, a husband carrying his wife’s bag was pretty common. But for them, this was the first time Thorne had ever held her purse.
Charlene wondered if he’d ever carried a bag for Vesta.
Today, Thorne wasn’t dressed as formally as usual, but with his straight black coat, he somehow looked perfectly natural holding her purse, as if he were waiting for his beloved to return.
Charlene quickly looked away.
This game was all about teamwork and coordination.
Charlene stood in the middle, matching the rhythm of those ahead as she lifted her arms to spin the tape.
Jasmine clung to the hem of her mom’s sweater, following along and having the time of her life.
When she noticed Thorne filming them with his phone, her laughter grew louder. “Dad!”
Thorne stood slightly in front of them, and though Charlene was aware of his presence, she focused on the game, avoiding looking directly at him.
She heard Jasmine’s voice trail off, followed by Thorne’s calm instruction from the side. “Keep your eyes on your mom and stay in sync.”
Jasmine replied with a cheerful, “Got it!”
Earlier, when Charlene filmed Thorne and Jasmine, she stood still, capturing footage without following their
game movements.
But Thorne, recording Charlene and Jasmine, moved backward with them, keeping pace with their game.
After a back–and–forth, the game concluded.
> Jasmine dashed over to Thorne. “Dad, that was so fun! Can we do it again sometime?”
Thorne smiled. “Absolutely.”
Charlene returned and took her purse from Thorne’s hand.
st then, she heard the familiar ping of a message notification from her phone.
Reaching into her purse, she found that Thorne had sent her a video.”

Chapter 214
Charlene noticed the message but didn’t open it immediately.
Meanwhile, Jasmine snuggled up next to Thorne, excited to see the video he had just shot. Thorne passed her the phone, then cracked open a bottle of water and handed it to Charlene.
“Thanks,” Charlene said, accepting it gratefully.
She was indeed a bit thirsty and took a couple of refreshing sips before screwing the cap back on.
No sooner had she done so than Thorne asked, “What’s the next game?”
Charlene found it hard to believe that with his memory, he wouldn’t recall the schedule.
Still, with the water bottle freshly capped in her hand, she sighed.
There was an old saying about being gracious when someone does you a favor.
With that in mind, she replied, “It’s the Ant Ball Relay.”

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...
