Chapter 257
Charlene and Helena had been keeping Irma company for about half an hour when Thorne suddenly announced, “I’m going to step out for a bit.”
During that time, Thorne had mostly been a silent observer, not contributing much to the conversation.
Irma, not particularly impressed, waved him off. “Go if you must.”
Thorne left the room, not returning for quite a while.
Earlier, Abbey had made sure there was a good supply of fruit, pastries, and coffee. But after Abbey left, Charlene noticed that Helena’s coffee had cooled down. So, she grabbed the small pot and walked over to the coffee table, determined to make a fresh pot.
Seeing Charlene take matters into her own hands made Irma think of Thorne. She frowned, “Thorne, honestly. Who knows what he’s up to, gone this long.”
Charlene hadn’t really thought much of it when Thorne said he was stepping out. But hearing Irma’s complaints now reminded her that Vesta was still downstairs. Thorne had probably gone to keep Vesta company, not wanting her to feel bored. Still, he’d been gone for a good half–hour, which was quite a long time.
After brewing the coffee, Charlene poured fresh cups for herself, Helena, and Irma. Just as she was setting down the pot, Thorne returned.
Irma shot him a look and huffed, “I thought you’d gone for good.”
Thorne just smiled, saying nothing.
Irma didn’t press further, instead complimenting, “Charlene, your coffee is always delightful.”
Thorne remained mostly quiet, letting them chat among themselves. But when their cups were empty, and Irma requested more, he dutifully brewed another round.
Another half–hour passed, and the sky outside was starting to darken.
Charlene and Helena decided it was time to head out.
Irma suggested Thorne join them for dinner, but Thorne hesitated.
Charlene quickly interjected, “There’s no need. We have soup waiting for us at home.”
She was telling the truth. Besides, neither she nor Helena was eager to have dinner with Thorne.
Irma probably sensed their reluctance and didn’t press the issue, simply asking Thorne to escort them
downstairs.
Thorne obliged, assuring Irma, “I’ve got some things to take care of, but I’ll be back tomorrow to see you.”
“Go on, then. Come back if you want,” Irma dismissed him with a wave, though she was secretly pleased with how attentive Thorne had been since her accident. He’d been quite dutiful, in fact. Her only gripe was his attitude toward Charlene. She could tell he was still set on the idea of ending things with her.
As Thorne walked Charlene and Helena to the elevator, they ran into Terence waiting for it, school backpack slung over his shoulder. Seeing them, he greeted warmly.
Charlene and Helena nodded back.
Terence asked, “Are you guys headed out for dinner?”
Before Charlene could respond, Thorne cut in with a question of his own, “Why aren’t you at school yet?”
“I’m just going to pop up and see Grandma for a bit, then I’ll head back.”
“Better hurry up, then.”

“Okay…”
With that, Terence boarded the elevator. Once Charlene and Helena reached the hospital entrance, they turned
to Thorne. “No need to walk us any further,” Charlene said.
Thorne nodded, not insisting. “Alright.”

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...
