Chapter 250
Jasmine’s excitement bubbled over as she spotted Thorne. Racing towards him, she called out, “Hey, it’s Dad! Mom, let Dad in!”
Charlene gave a slight nod, her eyes downcast. “Alright.”
The rest of the Ross family overheard the exchange between Charlene and Jasmine.
They were slightly taken aback at the news of Thorne’s arrival. But with Jasmine there, they didn’t press Charlene for details about Thorne’s visit.
A few moments later, Thorne showed up.
Charlene stepped outside to meet him and asked, “Are you here to take Grandma to the hospital?”
Thorne nodded. “Yes.”
Charlene acknowledged with a nod. “Okay, give me a moment.”
Thorne stayed put in his car, waiting patiently.
After about ten minutes, Helena emerged from the house. Seeing her, Thorne got out of the car and courteously opened the door for her.
Jasmine was also ready to head to school. She waved to Thorne, “Bye, Dad.”
“Bye, sweetheart,” he replied, nodding in acknowledgment to Charlene and the rest of the Ross family before getting back into his car and driving off.
Charlene then drove Jasmine to school.
At eleven–thirty, while Charlene was busy at work, her phone buzzed with a call from Helena. “The surgery went perfectly.”
Feeling relieved, Charlene ended the call.
Not long after, her phone rang again. This time, it was Thorne calling.
Charlene didn’t pick up.
Shortly after, a message from Thorne popped up: “We’re going out for lunch later. Want to join?”
Charlene didn’t respond.
She felt that her silence was clear enough–Thorne would surely understand what it meant, even if he had to use his toes to figure it out.
As expected, Thorne didn’t text again.
But just around noon, her phone rang once more. It was Connie Snyder.
“Charlene, guess who I just saw at the restaurant? Your husband–no, soon–to–be ex–helping your grandma up the stairs!”
Before Charlene could respond, Connie continued, “Are you two back together without telling me?”
“No,” Charlene replied, flipping through a book. She explained about Irma’s fall and hospitalization, adding, “We visited Grandma, and he’s just being considerate.”
That’s why he went out of his way to personally drive her grandma to the hospital this morning.
Connie sounded disappointed. “Is that all?”
“Yeah.”
Charlene interpreted Thorne’s extra politeness and care as his way of ensuring he didn’t owe anything to her or

her grandma.
In truth, his actions were more about drawing clear lines between them.
Only someone with wishful thinking would assume he wanted to rekindle their relationship.
That evening, Charlene worked late.
When she finally arrived at the hospital, it was past seven.
As she got out of her car, she noticed Vesta leaning against a vehicle nearby.
Vesta spotted her too.
She pressed her lips together, giving Charlene a cold stare, but remained silent.
Charlene shut her car door, ignoring Vesta’s gaze, and carried a bouquet of flowers into the hospital.
The VIP floor was quiet.
When Charlene pushed open the door, she found Thorne, Granger, and Moran inside.
Remembering Vesta downstairs, she quickly deduced that the four of them likely came together.
Whether Vesta had come up to see Irma or not was anyone’s guess.
Upon seeing Charlene, Moran pursed her lips.
Granger, however, rose from his chair.
Thorne approached Charlene with a simple, “You’re here?”
Charlene diverted her eyes, choosing not to answer him directly. She turned her attention to Irma and offered a warm smile. “Hi, Grandma.”

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...
