Chapter 295
Charlene reached out to hold her steady, preventing her from tumbling over.
As soon as she got close, the familiar scent of Vesta’s perfume wafted into her nose again.
Charlene took Jasmine’s backpack and placed it gently on the sofa. Just as Jasmine dashed toward the bed, Charlene grabbed her by the arm and asked, “Have you taken a shower?”
“Yes, I have.” Jasmine said.
If she had showered and still carried Vesta’s scent, it suggested one of two possibilities: either Vesta was living with her and Thorne, or Thorne and Vesta had together dropped her off. Evidently, they had chosen not to come into the building with her.
Charlene said calmly, “You’re all sweaty. How about changing into some fresh clothes?”
Jasmine remembered she had been running around after her shower and might have sweated a bit. She nodded and obediently headed to the bathroom to change.
Meanwhile, Charlene continued sorting through her papers..
When Jasmine emerged, now in clean clothes, she rummaged through her backpack and pulled out a small bunny–shaped lantern. “Mom, look! A lantern!”
Charlene paused and looked at it. “This is-”
“Daddy bought it for me! Isn’t it cute and pretty?!”
Charlene replied, “…Yes.”
Jasmine then dashed over to turn off Charlene’s room lights, flicked on the lantern, and excitedly shared, “Doesn’t it look even prettier with the lights off?!”
Charlene agreed, “…Yes, it does look prettier.” After a moment, she asked, “Do you really like it?”
“Yeah, I love it so much!” Jasmine exclaimed. Then she produced another lantern. “Daddy got me two, and! saved this one for you. Will you take a walk downstairs with me, carrying our lanterns?”
Charlene sighed, “I’ve already had my shower, maybe tomorrow. You just changed too; you don’t want to get dirty again.”
Jasmine’s enthusiasm was slightly dampened by Charlene’s response. Her excitement and joy took a small hit. “Oh…”
But it had been a month since Jasmine last saw Charlene. Realizing Charlene wasn’t very interested in the lantern, she stopped trying to sell the idea and instead put the lantern down, running over to hug her. “Mom…”
Charlene set her papers aside. “Yes, what is it?”
Initially, Jasmine remained quiet, but then she slipped off her shoes and climbed into Charlene’s lap. “I missed you so much,” she murmured as she wrapped her arms around Charlene’s neck and delivered two swift kisses to her cheek. Breaking into a giggle, she added, “Mom, you smell so nice.”
Charlene’s arms tightened around her slightly. She paused, then gently stroked Jasmine’s cheek without saying a word. She could tell Jasmine’s face had matured a little, her features shifting slightly, looking a bit more like Thorne.
Lowering her gaze, she noticed Jasmine wasn’t wearing socks. She placed her on the bed and covered her feet with a blanket. “How long will you be staying here this time?”
Jasmine shrugged. “I don’t know. Daddy just told me to wait here for him to come back.”
Charlene murmured an acknowledgment and didn’t pursue it further.
Jasmine, however, remembered something else and jumped off the bed to find her backpack. “Mom, I got you a

little gift when I went overseas.”
She retrieved a snow globe she had bought for Charlene and handed it over, her eyes full of hope.
Ever since Jasmine had grown close to Vesta, it had been a long time since she thought of giving Charlene any gifts.
Charlene accepted it, feeling a calm gratitude, and said, “Thank you, sweetie. I love it.”

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...
