Chapter 269
Cain strolled over to where Minnie was sitting. “Hey, Minnie.”
Jasmine nodded in acknowledgment. “Hey, you made it.”
Cain plopped down beside her and started helping with the jigsaw puzzle. “I went to the movies with my mom earlier, and guess what? I saw your mom there.”
Jasmine, previously engrossed in her puzzle, looked up immediately, her interest sparked. “You saw my mom?
At the theater?”
“Yeah, at the cinema.”
Jasmine pursed her lips, skeptical. “No way. My mom’s super busy right now. There’s no way she’d have time to go to the movies. You must’ve mistaken her for someone else.”
Cain frowned, feeling a bit defensive. “I didn’t mistake her. It was definitely your mom.”
Jasmine shook her head, disbelief clear in her eyes. “You’re making it up.”
She had called her mom last night and again this morning, and her mom barely had time to answer. How could she possibly have time to go to the movies?
“I’m not making it up,” Cain insisted, feeling his frustration bubble up. “And she wasn’t alone. She was with another kid who looked about your height, and really cute!”
Jasmine hadn’t been taking Cain’s words seriously until now. But at this, she shot up, grabbing a handful of puzzle pieces and flinging them at Cain. “No way! You, you’re lying!”
Cain was telling the truth, but he couldn’t understand why Jasmine didn’t believe him and was getting upset. He was used to getting his way, too, and now he was genuinely angry. He retaliated by tossing a handful of pieces back at her. “I’m not lying!”
“You-”
“What’s going on here?”
Their escalating argument had drawn the attention of Thorne and the others in the living room.
Claudia was the first to come over.
Cain, feeling wronged, was on the brink of tears. “I was just saying-”
“Hmph!”
Jasmine, also teary–eyed, pouted and ran toward the living room. “Dad!”
Thorne watched her approach and caught her as she flung herself at him. After a quick word to the guests, he carried Jasmine out of the room, giving them some space. “What happened, sweetheart?”
Jasmine wanted to recount what her cousin had said, but the mere thought of Charlene being with a kid cuter than her brought tears to her eyes before she could get the words out.
Meanwhile, Claudia and Tiffany had gotten the story from Cain.
Claudia turned to Tiffany, who admitted she hadn’t been paying attention at the movies and couldn’t verify Cain’s claim.
Claudia thought for a moment. “Sweetie, I believe you weren’t lying. It’s possible you saw someone who looked a lot like Aunt Charlene, but it might not have been Aunt Charlene.”
The Henderson family, aside from Irma, weren’t aware that Thorne and Charlene were considering a divorce. Charlene’s affection for Thorne over the years was something the family had witnessed firsthand.
When Thorne mentioned Charlene had pressing matters to attend to without getting into details, the family
assumed it was something urgent with the Ross family.
Now, hearing Cain’s story, Claudia and Tiffany were inclined to believe Cain might have made a mistake. After all, as far as they knew, there were no kids in the Ross family who were Jasmine’s age, and if Charlene had any free time, it seemed unlikely she’d choose to go to the movies instead of visiting the Henderson family. It just didn’t add up.

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...
