Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 23
Chapter 23
Inna couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Charlene was too mild and indulgent toward Thorne, which she believed had led them to miss out,
numerous opportunities over the years, resulting in little progress in their relationship. But since Charlene had decided, Irma didn’t press the issue.
Once dinner officially started, everyone chatted and ate in a rather pleasant atmosphere.
Charlene, however, barely spoke, quietly keeping her head down and focusing on her meal.
From the moment Thome had arrived over ten minutes ago, the couple hadn’t exchanged a single word. There was no interaction between them throughout the evening, which was typical for their relationship. Everyone seemed used to it and found nothing unusual. *When Jasmine wanted something from the table, she once relied on Charlene but had been used to asking Thorne directly. However,
when she wanted shrimp, her gaze shifted to Charlene. It was a tradition for Charlene to peel shrimp for her and Thorne.
“Mommy, I want some shrimp, Jasmine said.
Even though Charlene was considering divorce and didn’t want to fight over custody, Jasmine was still her daughter. She felt it was her duty and responsibility to take care of her and fulfill her needs as much as possible.
So, when Jasmine asked her to peel shrimp, Charlene responded, “Of course, sweetheart.”
Ama noticed something when Charlene put down her fork to peel the shrimp. “Charlene, where’s your ring?”
The question turned everyone’s attention, Thorne included, to Charlene’s hands.
Even though her marriage with Thorne was on thin ice, Charlene still wore the wedding band Irma had made for them. On the contrary, Thorne had never worn his, its whereabouts unknown.
Over the years, Charlene had never been without her ring, and everyone had grown accustomed to it. Tiffany had often mocked her for it. It was the first day she wasn’t wearing it, and nobody had noticed until Irma pointed it out.
Charlene’s hands hesitated while peeling the shrimp, but she quickly recovered and said casually, “I rushed out of the house this morning and left it behind.”
In reality, she had taken off the ring when preparing the divorce papers, placing it in an envelope along with them. But since she knew Irma would never approve of the divorce, and she and Thorne hadn’t officially separated, Charlene chose not to tell the whole truth.
Irma chuckled upon hearing the explanation. “Oh, is that so?”
fterward, everyone resumed their dinner as if nothing had happened.
Post–dinner, the group moved to the living room for fruit and desserts, continuing their conversations. Ever the matchmaker, Irma tried to bring Charlene and Thorne closer by suggesting they sit together.
But Thorne didn’t even glance at Charlene, who reluctantly sat beside him, not wanting to refuse Irma’s requests again. That was the closest they had sat in months, and Charlene could distinctly smell Thorne’s familiar, subtle cologne.
But her heart remained calm, and she quietly enjoyed her fruit pudding, not attempting to start a conversation with Thorne.
Yet, Irma seemed pleased, looking at them and commenting, “You two make a lovely couple.”
Indeed, from the outside, they were a match. Thorne was a handsome and distinguished guy, while Charlene was quiet, gentle, and absolutely gorgeous.

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...
