Although the coach hadn't explicitly stated it, Charlene easily read between the lines.
Even if Jasmine's coach hadn't said anything, Charlene could have guessed that Jasmine took up fencing because of Thorne or Vesta's influence.
Charlene didn't dwell on it too much.
Despite having relinquished custody of Jasmine and knowing she might not be a big part of Jasmine's future, Jasmine was still her flesh and blood. No matter how distant they might become, she wanted the best for her daughter.
As long as fencing was beneficial for Jasmine, that was enough for her.
Who inspired Jasmine to learn wasn't important to her.
Charlene didn't hover over Jasmine during training sessions.
That morning, as Jasmine's practice wrapped up, Charlene was engrossed in her phone, researching something, when she felt someone approach.
She looked up, and sure enough, Thorne's deep-set eyes met hers.
Charlene looked away almost immediately after making eye contact.
“What kind of model data is that?” Thorne asked.
Charlene tucked her phone away without answering.
Thorne seemed ready to continue the conversation, but then Jasmine finished her session, removed her mask, and ran over. “Dad!”
Thorne chuckled, ruffling her hair. “All done training?”
“Yup!” Jasmine replied, then turned to Charlene, asking her to wipe her sweat. She looked up at both Thorne and Charlene. “I'm hungry. Can we go grab some lunch?”
“Sure,” Thorne agreed.
Jasmine looked to Charlene. “Mom, what do you feel like eating?”
She didn't mind dining with Jasmine, but with both of them? There was no need.
Her tone was calm but firm.
Seeing her resolve, Thorne smiled slightly and didn't press further. “Alright then.”
Jasmine's disappointment was palpable as her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
Charlene hesitated, then gently stroked Jasmine's hair. “Next time, when I have some free time, we'll go out for a meal together.”
Despite Charlene's attempt to comfort her, Jasmine's spirits didn't lift much. But she wasn't as despondent as before and nodded quietly.
Feeling she had said all she could, Charlene picked up her bag to leave. Jasmine, reluctant to let her go, clutched Charlene's hand and looked up imploringly.
“Mom, can you come to my competition next month?”

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...
