Chapter 239
Jasmine absolutely adored Christmas. Every year, she used to decorate the Christmas tree at home with her
mom.
On Christmas Day, they’d stroll through the bustling streets, soaking in the festive spirit with everyone around them.
But ever since Jasmine moved abroad with Thorne, those cherished Christmas traditions had faded. In fact, she had stopped celebrating Christmas altogether.
She was trying to move on. After all, Jasmine was her daughter, the one she had carried for nine months and raised for so many years.
Now, as she stood amidst the bustling crowds, memories surged back, stirring emotions she thought she had set aside.
“Ms. Ross?”
Charlene turned around. It was York.
She nodded politely, “Mr. Watson.”
“What brings you here on your own?”
Charlene masked her emotions with a smile, “Just out to pick up some greenery for the house.”
York had actually noticed Charlene standing alone in the crowd, her silhouette and expression seemed steeped
in solitude.
There was an unshakeable sadness about her.
Though he didn’t know Charlene well, he wondered what could have caused such sorrow.
“Care for a drink?” he offered.
Charlene shook her head, replying, “I’m just picking up a few things and heading home.” She returned the courtesy, “What about you? What brings you here alone?”
York replied, “I was out for dinner with a friend, but they had to leave early.”
He had heard that there might be a special event later and mentioned, “There’s going to be a big fireworks show here later. Do you want to stick around for it?”
He wasn’t trying to ask her out, just giving her a heads–up.
Charlene smiled, “Oh, that explains why it’s so crowded here.”
Not knowing York well, Charlene was about to say something when she suddenly froze, spotting three familiar figures in the crowd.
It was Thorne, Vesta, and Jasmine.
They were heading towards the square, seemingly there for the fireworks too.
York noticed her gaze and turned to see Thorne, Vesta, and a little girl.
He paused, remembering something Dalton had mentioned recently. There were rumors floating around that Thorne had a child.
For years, there had been rumors about Thorne being married, but nothing was ever confirmed. Whether true or not, many people were left in the dark. Similarly, the idea of Thorne having a child seemed like just another piece of unverified gossip.
York had thought so too. But seeing Thorne and Vesta with a little girl on such a festive day was surprising.

Chapter 23
Though, this didn’t necessarily mean the girl was Thorne’s daughter, right?
Besides, Vesta was said to be around twenty–five, and she’d been studying abroad.
Surely, she wasn’t balancing grad school and motherhood? It seemed unlikely.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Thorne, Vesta, and the girl vanished into the crowd.
He glanced back at Charlene.
Charlene had already averted her gaze.
York recalled that Charlene and Vesta weren’t exactly on friendly terms, but her reaction upon seeing them had been peculiar…
“Want to go for a stroll?” he suggested.
Fireworks, huh?
Charlene had been looking forward to them.
But now…
Avoiding the fireworks just because of Thorne and Vesta seemed a bit foolish.

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...
