Chapter 26
He was stunned but thought she was having a moment, so he did not pay much attention to her unusual behavior.
He didn’t even care to know why she was upset, dismissively saying, “Minnie’s enrollment is all set. You’ll drop her off at school tomorrow morning.”
Charlene replied, “Got it.”
Thome said nothing more, heading toward the walk–in closet to pick out clothes for a shower. That was his attitude toward her.
Watching his retreating figure, Charlene remembered their impending divorce and wanted to ask when they could go and get the divorce
papers.
But Thorne was busy, and given his nature, he would contact her without needing any nudging if all the paperwork was ready. After all, he was the one more eager for the divorce. So, she had been quietly waiting for his update for the past two weeks, never once rushing
him.
Then Thome’s phone rang.
Charlene watched him answer the call. His tone was instantly softer than when he spoke with her. It was a tender tone.
Almost immediately, Charlene guessed it was Vesta on the other line.
While she was thinking this, Thorne let go of the closet door, saying, “I’ll
come right now.”
With that, he left the room without looking back. Charlene watched him go without calling out to him.
Soon after, she heard the sound of a car. Thorne had left the mansion.
Charlene closed her eyes, calmly turned off the light, and slept.
The following morning, since she had to take Jasmine to school, Charlene woke up around 6:30. She was alone in the room. Thorne hadn’t returned since he left the night before. Charlene didn’t mind anymore.
She checked the time, saw that Jasmine wasn’t up yet, and went to wake her. Since Jasmine still had her door locked, Charlene had to
knock.
After a while, Jasmine finally got up to open the door.
Upon seeing Charlene, Jasmine pouted unhappily. “Mommy, why did you knock so hard? You gave me a headache.”
She talked to Vesta about it last night. Even though Vesta agreed it was best for her mom to take her to school, her voice was so sad. Jasmine felt guilty about it. She had several nightmares throughout the night. Being woken up by Charlene, she was in a terrible mood. Seeing Jasmine upset but not getting angry, Charlene calmly said, “It’s a long drive to school. We need to get going soon.”
Not being taken by Vesta made Jasmine not want to go to school at all. She grunted but didn’t reply. Stubborn as she was, she knew better than to be capricious about school matters.
She lay back down, sulking. “I know.”
After lying there for a bit without moving, she looked at Charlene. “Mommy, can you squeeze the toothpaste for me?”
Charlene nodded. “Sure.”
After Charlene went into the bathroom, Jasmine grabbed her phone to send a good morning text to Vesta, then followed into the bathroom to brush her teeth with the toothpaste Charlene had squeezed for her.
As Jasmine finished up, Charlene warmed up a towel, wrung it out, and handed it over for her to wipe her face.
Charlene opened the wardrobe, asking, “Which outfit do you want to wear?”
Jasmine replied, “Mommy, I can dress myself. You can go out.”
Charlene closed the wardrobe. “Okay.”
After Charlene left, Jasmine picked out the outfit she had brought from home the day before. Vesta had chosen this super cool camo outfit for her. She was going to wear it to cheer Vesta on!

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...
