Chapter 259
Charlene was driving away from the hospital when Helena suddenly seemed to remember something. “Thorne made it to the hospital, but what about Minnie? Where did she go?” she asked, her voice tinged with concern.
Charlene was about to respond, but Helena’s expression had already turned sour. She was clearly upset that Thorne had left Jasmine behind, choosing instead to accompany Vesta to the hospital to see Irma.
“He’ll sort it out,” Charlene reassured her.
Helena, still skeptical, persisted. “If he keeps this up, Charlene, you need to take him to court. You have to get custody of Minnie, no matter what!”
Charlene hesitated for a moment before replying softly, “Okay.”
Despite her agreement, Helena remained visibly displeased.
When they finally arrived at the Ross family home, Helena was the first to step out of the car.
At that moment, Charlene’s phone began to ring. It was Jasmine calling.
Charlene chose not to answer. Perhaps it was because she’d spent so little time with Jasmine in recent months, often ignoring her calls. Lately, whenever they met, Jasmine seemed clingier than ever, much like when Charlene used to care for her all by herself.
The phone buzzed again. Charlene glanced at it but still didn’t pick up. Instead, she switched it off and joined the Ross family in the dining room, getting ready for dinner.
Just as she settled into her seat, the house phone rang.
Charlene instantly knew who it was…
“I’ll get it,” she said, standing up and briskly walking to the phone.
Sure enough, it was Jasmine on the other end.
As soon as she heard Charlene’s voice, Jasmine’s tone brightened. “Mom!” she exclaimed, sounding delighted.
“Have you eaten yet?” Charlene asked her.
Not yet,” Jasmine replied, sounding a bit down. “Mom, are you at Great–grandma’s? I want to come over. Can
ou eat with me later?”
Helena, overhearing, asked, “Is that Minnie on the phone?”
Charlene nodded. “Yes.”
“Is Minnie missing you?” Helena set down her fork and approached. “If she wants to come over, contact Thorne and have him bring her here. We’ll save some food for her.”
Charlene sighed. “Alright, I got it.”
Turning back to the phone, she told Jasmine, “Okay, you can come over now.”
“Yay!”
Before hanging up, Charlene remembered to add, “Make sure you tell your dad before you leave.”
“Got it!”
The Ross family members were willing to wait for Jasmine before starting dinner, but Charlene insisted they go ahead.
About an hour later, Jasmine finally arrived at the Ross house. As soon as she walked through the door, she dashed toward Charlene. “Mom! I’m back!”
“Good,” Charlene said while straightening Jasmine’s clothes. “Let me heat up some food for you.”

Chapter 25
“Okay!”
Jasmine set down her backpack and tablet, then followed Charlene into the kitchen.
With Vernon and his wife out taking Nadine and the others to school, Helena stayed home. Watching Jasmine cling to Charlene like a little shadow, Helena smiled warmly, not wanting to interrupt their reunion.
Charlene instructed Jasmine to wait outside while she reheated the food.
Jasmine obediently sat in the dining room, waiting for Charlene to bring out the warmed–up meal.
Jasmine was usually a picky eater, often turning her nose up at leftovers. But today, she didn’t seem to mind and ate with gusto.
As she ate, she animatedly recounted her day to Charlene. “Mom, I went out with Granger and Daisy today!”

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...
