A little while later, Thorne Henderson picked up the phone. "School's out?"
"Yeah..."
Thorne chuckled, "Missing your mom?"
"Yeah..."
"Haven't called her?"
"Yeah."
Thorne let out a small laugh, "Go ahead, today your mom should have time to pick up."
Jasmine Henderson's eyes lit up at his words, "Really?"
"Really, give her a call."
"Okay!"
As soon as she hung up with Thorne, Jasmine quickly dialed Charlene Ross.
Charlene paused when she saw Jasmine's call. Although they had seen each other recently when Jasmine had an accident and ended up in the hospital, those meetings weren't part of the planned monthly visits.
Putting those aside, it had actually been over a month since they last met according to their arrangement.
With that in mind, Charlene answered, "Hey, Minnie, just got out of school—"
Before Charlene could finish, Jasmine, thrilled that Charlene had picked up, exclaimed, "Mom!"
Jasmine's voice was full of delight.
Charlene paused, her hand still over the computer mouse. It took her a moment to respond, softly saying, "Yes, I'm here. You finished school?"
Unable to contain her longing, Jasmine turned to Charlene and said, "Mom, it's been so long since you cooked for me. Could you make dinner tomorrow? I miss the food you cook."
Ever since she decided to divorce Thorne, Charlene hadn't cooked much for Jasmine. And even when Jasmine visited the Ross family, Charlene had been too busy to whip up anything special.
Thinking about it, she agreed, "Sure."
The ongoing situation with Vesta wasn't much of a concern to outsiders. So, the close bond between Charlene and Jasmine hadn't reached the ears of Irma or Vernon.
They had suspected, even before Jasmine returned, that she might grow attached to Vesta.
Naturally, this made them uneasy. But they also understood that Jasmine was young and unaware of the complicated history between the Ross and Hawkins families. She couldn't be blamed for what she didn't know.
Charlene hadn't been able to secure custody of Jasmine, and Irma and Vernon had worried that long separations might drive a wedge between mother and daughter.
Seeing Jasmine so attached to Charlene now, they were pleasantly surprised and quietly relieved.

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...
