When he found out he couldn't be there for Daisy's birthday, Granger was a bit disappointed but got the picture. "It's alright," he said, "work comes first. Daisy will understand."
After hanging up, Charlene had just finished freshening up when her phone buzzed again.
It was a video call from Granger's phone. Only Daisy would use Granger's phone to video call her.
Charlene answered, and Daisy's face immediately filled the screen. A warm smile spread across Charlene's face, but before she could speak, Daisy chimed in, "Good morning, Ms. Ross! Uncle told me you can't make it to my birthday tomorrow. That's okay. If you're busy this time, we can celebrate another day!"
Daisy had to head off to school soon, so she continued without waiting for Charlene to respond, "Uncle said you're baking me a cake and you got me some other gifts too. Thank you, Ms. Ross! Grandma says when someone gives you gifts, you should invite them for dinner. There's this new restaurant that just opened, and the food is amazing! Are you free tonight? Uncle and I would love to take you out for dinner!"
Charlene chuckled at Daisy's enthusiasm and replied, "I'm free, Daisy. Thank you for the invitation."
"No need to thank me, Ms. Ross. It's only right to treat you to dinner!"
Daisy, eager to get to school, said goodbye before handing the phone back to Granger. Charlene and Granger arranged a dinner time and ended the call.
Once at work, Charlene informed Stewart that she'd need to visit the site again the next morning.
Stewart gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. "You've been working hard. I'll handle things here in the R&D department. Don't worry."
"Thanks," Charlene replied.
Usually, Charlene stayed at the office until after 8 PM. But that afternoon, she started packing up her things a bit after 6 PM.
"The owner did a great job with the marketing. It's become the go-to spot for networking in the business community."
"I see," Charlene nodded.
Granger gestured towards the entrance, "Shall we?"
"Yes, let's," Charlene agreed. They headed towards the restaurant, leaving the bustling parking lot behind.
Meanwhile, Vesta, stepping out of her car while on a phone call, ended the call and closed her car door. As she turned towards the restaurant, she spotted Charlene, Granger, and Daisy walking together.
She halted mid-step, momentarily taken aback by the sight.

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...
