Chapter 24
They looked good together, but that was about as far as it went in terms of compatibility. If you considered other aspects, Charlene was eagues behind.
Still, seeing Irma’s happy face, Tiffany and Claudia didn’t burst her bubble, even if they didn’t quite agree.
They all stayed at the Henderson Mansion that night, just as Irma wished.
Around eight o’clock. Thome and Irma ducked into the study to talk business, while Jasmine grabbed Charlene’s hand, eager to take a bath before heading to bed.
Charlene went upstairs with her to help her bathe.
Sitting in the little tub, Jasmine looked at Charlene and tentatively asked, “Mommy, are you busy tomorrow morning?”
She would compromise and have her mom accompany her to school in the morning. But deep down, she hoped Vesta could be the one to go with her. So, it would be great if Charlene was busy tomorrow morning.
Charlene shook her head. “Not busy. Why?”
Hearing that, Jasmine pursed her lips in disappointment. “Nothing.”
She didn’t elaborate, and Charlene didn’t pry.
After the bath, Charlene gently dried Jasmine’s hair.
As soon as her hair was dry, Jasmine said she wanted to go to bed.
Noticing Jasmine’s eyes glued to her smartphone, Charlene said, “You can “Okay, I know.”
Since Charlene was free the next day, she had to talk to Vesta about it.

Jasmine was fretting over how Vesta might take the news, thinking hard about the best sad or disappointed.
Feeling upset and even more so with Charlene’s nagging, Jasmine pushed her phone and go to sleep after 9:30.”
Jasmine was quite disciplined about this.

fter saying goodnight, Charlene left the room. Jasmine immediately locked the door behind her.
While stepping away, Charlene heard the lock click. She knew Jasmine wasn’t guarding against anyone else but just her. She suspected Jasmine wanted to discuss something with Vesta. And indeed, that was the case.
Jasmine locked the door and ran back to her phone to message Vesta. [Ms. Hawkins…]
Charlene had no way of knowing what they talked about. She didn’t dwell on it much or care to probe deeper. She turned and returned to
her room.
Irma liked her and often invited her over for meals. Over the years, she had left quite a few personal items there. She found some pajamas and went to take a shower.

After her shower, she sat on her usual side of the bed. Noticing it was still early, she picked up a book she had brought in her bag and read quietly.
Time passed without her noticing, and when her eyes began to hurt, she checked the time and was surprised to see it was already 11:30 at night. But Thorne still hadn’t returned.
Even though Thorne thought she had trapped him into marriage, their relationship had improved somewhat by the third year, though they were still not close.
But then Vesta appeared. He fell for Vesta and started keeping his distance from Charlene again. Since then, he hardly touched her. So, she wondered if Thorne was not planning to return to the room or if he was busy with something. While these thoughts ran through her mind, Charlene left the bedroom and headed downstairs.
Then, a voice came from not too far away.
“Everyone’s asleep, and you’re still not in your room this late. Is it Charlene who doesn’t want to return to her room?”

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...
