Chapter 252
Jasmine dashed over, her eyes lighting up. “Wow, so much good food! And milkshakes!”
Thorne nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. “Yeah, figured you guys were coming, so I had them whip up a little something.”
As he talked, his eyes wandered over to Charlene, but noticing she wasn’t paying attention, he shifted his focus. to Carl and Nadine. He gave them a friendly nod and gestured for everyone to take a seat. “Make yourselves comfortable,” he said.
Thorne had this way about him–an aura that commanded attention. Irma had just finished saying hello, and Nadine and Carl found themselves naturally gravitating towards the seats beside Jasmine, ready to dig into the treats Jasmine and Thorne were handing out.
Once the kids were settled and munching away, Thorne handed a plate to Charlene. “Want to give it a try?”
With Irma watching, Charlene took the plate, offering a polite, “Thanks.”
She took a sip and was pleasantly surprised to find it was strawberry–flavored, just the way she liked it.
When the conversation turned to their plans for a ski trip, Irma remarked to Thorne, “You should join Charlene and the kids. Skiing can be a handful, especially with three kids to watch over. I’ve got Abbey and the house staff here, so don’t worry about me.”
Charlene opened her mouth to protest, but Thorne was quick to reply, “Got it.”
Jasmine beamed at the idea of Thorne joining them.
After spending a bit more time in the room, Charlene and the kids decided it was time to head out.
Thorne tidied up his papers and joined them as they left the hospital room.
They were taking two cars. Jasmine, Nadine, and the rest piled into Charlene’s car, excited chatter filling the
air.
When they got to the ski resort, Thorne knelt down to help Jasmine with her gear, fixing her jacket and goggles. Just then, his phone buzzed. He stepped aside to take the call, spoke quickly, and then said, “I’ll be there later. Curious, Jasmine spoke up, “Dad, who was that on the phone?”
Thorne didn’t answer directly. Instead, he asked, “Would you rather have lunch with me or with your mom and the others?”
Jasmine blinked, a bit taken aback. “Huh? Aren’t we all eating together?”
Thorne shrugged. “I’ve got some things to handle.”
Charlene and Nadine overheard but kept their thoughts to themselves.
Thorne ruffled Jasmine’s hair affectionately. “Let’s not worry about that now. Go have fun skiing; we can decide
later.”
“Okay!”
The three kids wandered off, chatting excitedly. Charlene adjusted her goggles, then turned to Thorne. “Still not
settled the divorce, huh?”
Thorne shook his head. “Not yet.”
He paused, then added, “If you need some cash in the meantime, I can have some sent over to your account.”
Charlene wanted to discuss something else, but before she could, Jasmine called for her. “Mom, come on!”
Charlene let it go, ready to join the kids, but her phone rang just then. It was Vernon.

Chapter 25
“Someone from The Henderson Group reached out,” he said. “Wanted to discuss a potential collaboration.”
The Henderson Group was under Thorne’s leadership now. Years of experience told Vernon that Thorne wouldn’t offer help without a reason. He was calling Charlene to figure out Thorne’s angle and whether there were any hidden pitfalls in the deal.
Charlene didn’t respond to Vernon right away. She lowered her phone, casting a questioning glance at Thorne.

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...
