Chapter 271
Seated across from the Henderson family, the new guests had only just arrived, still taking in their surroundings and the people around them. It was their first time laying eyes on Jasmine.
One of them couldn’t help but remark, “I can’t believe Thorne’s kids are this grown. Does that mean Thorne got hitched ages ago?”
Rumors had been swirling lately that Thorne had children, but they’d dismissed them as mere gossip. Now, seeing it firsthand, they realized the truth of it.
Thorne took a sip of his coffee, nodding affirmatively. The others chuckled awkwardly. They had brought their daughter along today, hoping for an introduction, maybe even a match. But Thorne was already married, it seemed.
Their daughter was lovely, gentle, and quiet, but Thorne hadn’t spared her a glance the entire time they’d been there, a solid half–hour. Clearly, he wasn’t interested, and perhaps even if he were single, their daughter might not have stood a chance.
Meanwhile, over at the arcade, Granger and Daisy had played for over an hour before leaving due to prior commitments.
Charlene had been engrossed in writing her thesis before coming out. It was nearly done; she planned to review the latest sections later, then send it over to Kenton for feedback before finally submitting it.
Lost in thought, she was immersed in a VR game, oblivious to someone exiting the nearby cinema and spotting
her.
Leah noticed her playing alone, chuckled to herself, and turned away, heading out.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the opulent Hawkins family mansion. She dashed upstairs, surprised to find Rhoda there. “Mom, weren’t you supposed to go shopping? What brings you to Auntie’s place?”
“Oh, I just finished shopping and thought I’d drop by,” Rhoda said casually.
Though the Spencer family lived in a nice enough place, it paled in comparison to the mansion Thorne had bought for Maureen. Ever since the Hawkins family had moved in, Rhoda found reasons to visit frequently, drawn by the grandeur.
Leah felt the same way. The Spencer and Hawkins families were close, so she too found herself visiting often, as if it were her own home.
Settling in comfortably, she teased, “Mom, Auntie, Vesta, guess who I saw at the arcade?”
Vesta, lounging by the expansive bay window with a book, immediately guessed but had no interest in the topic.
Rhoda, however, was intrigued. “Did you see Charlene?”
“Yep!” Leah replied, munching on a handful of popcorn. “Since my brother–in–law isn’t letting her tag along to Henderson Mansion anymore, she’s all alone at the arcade, playing games. Poor thing, she looked so pitiful from behind.”

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
