Chapter 270
Cain just couldn’t stand being accused of lying.
With Claudia’s soothing words, his spirits lifted almost immediately.
Jasmine, who had been crying beside them, stopped her tears as well. Oh right, maybe Cain just mistook someone else for her mom. That person wasn’t her mom at all.
Thinking about this made her feel a lot better.
But then she recalled how Charlene had once complimented Sally for being so adorable. Besides, they seemed to know each other quite well.
As this thought crossed her mind, Jasmine quickly cleaned her tears and reached for Thorne’s pocket. “Dad, give me your phone.”
Thorne, having caught on to the gist of what Claudia was saying, handed his phone to her while gently wiping away her tears with his thumb.
Jasmine hurriedly punched in Charlene’s number and dialed.
Charlene had just finished watching a movie and was now playing games in the arcade next to the theater.
Seeing Thorne’s call, she dismissed it without a second thought.
Jasmine’s eyes were still teary. “Mom didn’t answer.”
“She’s probably busy,” Thorne suggested. “How about we don’t disturb her and go out for dinner tonight, just you and me?”
To Jasmine, Thorne saying Charlene was busy meant that he also believed Cain had mistaken someone else for her mom.
Feeling reassured, Jasmine asked, “Can Ms. Hawkins join us?”
Thorne chuckled. “Of course.”
Jasmine, feeling much better, slipped off his lap and was about to return to her puzzle. But still feeling a bit uneasy, she decided to call Ms. Payne. She asked if she could talk to Sally.
Ms. Payne was quite surprised at the request. In her mind, Jasmine wasn’t particularly fond of Sally.
Not that she was mean to her, but still…
Unable to resist Jasmine’s sweet pleading, Ms. Payne first contacted Sally’s mom to check if it was alright before giving Jasmine Sally’s mom’s number.
Jasmine made a quick video call.
Sally answered promptly, her face lighting up with surprise. “Hey, Minnie! The teacher said you wanted to talk to me? Do you want to hang out?”
Even though Jasmine didn’t seem to like her much, Sally had always admired Jasmine. She thought Jasmine was bold and confident, which she found pretty cool.
“Yeah,” Jasmine replied, her lips pressed into a tiny pout. “Where are you right now?”
“At home!” Sally said cheerfully, turning the camera around. “My grandparents are here, and they’re helping my mom make my favorite spaghetti. Do you want to-”
Seeing that Sally’s family was indeed making spaghetti at home, Jasmine felt more at ease. She asked, “You didn’t go to the movies with my mom today, did you?”
Sally shook her head. “With Ms. Ross? No, I haven’t seen Ms. Ross in ages.”

Hearing this, Jasmine finally relaxed. “Got it. Enjoy your spaghetti.”
She was about to end the video call but hesitated for a moment, awkwardly adding, “Bye.”
Sally responded, “Oh, bye–bye…”
In the living room, Lloyd looked up as Thorne walked back in. “All sorted?”
Thorne nodded. “Yeah, all good.”

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...
