Chapter 251
When Charlene noticed Thorne reaching out, she reluctantly handed him the bouquet she was holding.
She avoided looking at Moran and Granger altogether.
Approaching the bedside, she asked Irma, “How are you feeling now?”
“A bit sore, but manageable,” Irma replied. Having just undergone surgery, she was understandably exhausted. She reached out and gently squeezed Charlene’s hand, saying, “You’ve worked all day, must be tiring. Did you eat? Why don’t you join Thorne and the others for dinner?”
Charlene replied, “No need, Grandma. I ate at the office before coming over.”
Irma paused, sensing Charlene’s continued reluctance to warm up to Thorne, and decided not to press further.
Charlene chatted with Irma for a while longer. When Irma began to tire and needed rest, Charlene prepared to leave.
Helena suggested that Thorne escort her since they were planning to grab dinner anyway, and Charlene decided to join them as they headed downstairs.
Once inside the elevator, she caught Moran’s inquisitive gaze fixed on her. She turned and shot him a frosty look, “Had a good enough look?”
Moran shrugged, “Just about.”
Charlene ignored him after that.
As the elevator reached the ground floor, she was the first to step out.
Thorne and the others followed a few steps behind her.
Seizing the moment, Moran leaned closer to Thorne and whispered, “She’s really changed her attitude towards you. Has she truly moved on? But… I find that hard to believe.”
Thorne watched Charlene’s silhouette, saying nothing in response.
Granger, who hadn’t caught their conversation, asked, “What’s going on?”
Moran repeated his observation to Granger.
Granger, much like Thorne, simply watched Charlene’s retreating figure without commenting.
As they exited the hospital, Thorne called out to Charlene’s back, “Minnie’s with the Ross family now.”
Charlene paused for a brief moment before continuing towards the parking lot.
There, she noticed Vesta still waiting. As they approached, Vesta took a couple of steps in their direction.
Charlene headed straight for her car, while Thorne, Granger, and the others walked towards Vesta.
Charlene got in her car and drove away, leaving Thorne and his group behind without a second thought.
She drove back to the Ross family estate.
Upon her arrival, Jasmine, who was playing with Nadine and the others, looked up and said, “Mom, you’re back!”
Charlene closed the door to block out the cold air, took off her coat, and replied, “Yes.”
Jasmine set down her tablet, ran over to hug her leg, and exclaimed, “Mom, Dad said I can stay with you for the next few days. After we visit Great–Grandma at the hospital tomorrow, can we go skiing?”
Before Charlene could respond, Nadine and Carl chimed in, “Yeah, let’s all go, cousin!”
Charlene hesitated but eventually agreed, “…Alright.”

Chapter 25
Jasmine beamed, “I’ll call Dad and tell him!” She immediately picked up her phone to call Thorne.
Charlene didn’t listen to their conversation and headed upstairs.
The next morning, Charlene didn’t see Vesta at the hospital. However, Thorne seemed to have set up shop there, working through his files.
As Charlene and Jasmine entered, Jasmine shouted, “Dad!”
Before Thorne could respond, Jasmine noticed the table laden with various fruits, pastries, and drinks, all favorites among kids and young adults.

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...
