Chapter 215
Your
Your turn or mine?” Thorne asked again.
Charlene glanced at Jasmine. “Let Minnie decide.”
“Dad, definitely,” Jasmine said confidently. “Mom’s not really into basketball, but Dad’s really good at it.”
Charlene could play basketball, but she kept that to herself.
Since Jasmine had made up her mind, Charlene said, “Alright, your turn, Thorne.”
“Sure thing,” Thorne replied with a nod.
As the sun climbed higher and the temperature rose, Thorne shrugged off his long black coat and handed it to Charlene. “Mind holding this for me?”
Charlene took it with a silent sigh and laid it down on the grass beside her.
Thorne raised an eyebrow but let it slide.
Just before the game kicked off, he turned to her again. “Hey, when you’re filming, try to keep up with us, alright? Don’t just stand in one spot.”
“Got it,” Charlene replied, rolling her eyes playfully.
The game, called “Ants on a Basketball,” had a simple rule: parents start by pulling a hoop with a rope while dribbling a basketball inside the hoop, and once they reach the turnaround point, the kids take over pulling the hoop, and the parents continue dribbling. The ball has to stay within the hoop’s boundary the whole time.
Charlene had taken Jasmine to play basketball and volleyball before, but back then, Jasmine hadn’t shown much interest. Maybe she was too young, or perhaps she had forgotten those outings. Now, whether it was school teaching or Thorne’s influence, Jasmine was dribbling like a pro when the game began.
Thorne easily kept up with Jasmine’s dribbling as he pulled the hoop backward, and they glided through the first round. The return trip was even smoother.
Jasmine had been right; Thorne was indeed good at basketball. He spun the ball between his hands with ease. As he rolled up his sleeves, gracefully keeping in step with Jasmine, Charlene heard admiring whispers from. the crowd. “Wow, he’s amazing.”
Charlene kept filming, her grip on the phone steady. But as Thorne dribbled, memories of him playing on the school court flooded back to her mind. A few months ago, she could recall his face and stature so vividly. Now, looking at this taller, more mature, and undeniably handsome Thorne, those memories had started to blur.
Thorne and Jasmine were the undisputed champions of that round.
Jasmine was over the moon, jumping up and down with a never–ending smile.
Thorne laughed and lifted her into his arms.
Charlene captured the moment on video, thinking that today, Jasmine was probably the happiest kid in the whole school.
Still, she mused, if Vesta had been the one to join them today for the parent–child activity instead of her, Jasmine might have been even happier.
Some of Jasmine’s classmates‘ parents came over to chat with Thorne.
He shook hands and engaged in conversation.
Sally’s mom stood next to Charlene.

Chapter 2120
As the game wrapped up and Charlene finished filming, Sally’s mom remarked, “Your daughter really has a great bond with her dad.”
FYeah,” Charlene nodded.
Clearly, Thorne and Jasmine had a solid bond, and it looked like it was only going to get stronger.
Sally’s mom didn’t mention it, but it was rare to see such a close bond between a child and their dad, often outshining the connection with the mom. Yet, she could see that Charlene’s husband was genuinely wonderful with their daughter.

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...
