Charlene Ross was thinking the same thing.
She texted back, "Busy. And please keep your promise, make sure she doesn't wander off to my grandma's place."
It took Thorne Henderson a while to respond: "Okay."
After that, Thorne didn't contact her again.
On the third afternoon of the Labor Day weekend, just as Charlene and her family were about to embark on a white-water rafting adventure, she received a photo from Connie Snyder.
The person in the photo was none other than Vesta Hawkins.
Connie was currently in New York, busy with a fashion show.
Charlene looked at the picture and replied, "Is she watching your show?"
Connie shot back, "Yes! Talk about bad luck!"
Then she added another message, "But she's alone, no sign of Thorne."
Charlene simply replied, "Got it," showing little interest in the matter. Instead, she asked, "When are you coming back stateside?"
Connie replied, "Not sure yet."
Connie had her hands full, so they exchanged a few more messages before Connie had to go.
About ten minutes later, Connie sent a video.
Charlene paused, and as soon as she answered, she saw Vesta and Thorne in the frame.
Connie snorted and whispered, "They just arrived. The show's over, and he's here to pick her up."
Vesta seemed to know people there and was deep in conversation, with Thorne patiently waiting by her side, watching her chat away.
Stewart Ferguson had mentioned he might take Vesta on his business trip, and it looked like he was right.
But...
Seeing only the two of them without Jasmine Henderson around, Charlene furrowed her brows.
Just as she was mulling this over, the camera suddenly wobbled, making Charlene think Connie had run into some trouble.
Upon closer inspection, she realized Thorne had just glanced over at the camera.
He must have noticed Connie.
"Where are you?" she asked.
"I'm abroad," Jasmine replied, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm. "I just went on a helicopter ride to see the great wildebeest migration. Thousands of them, moving in endless waves. Watching them from the helicopter was absolutely breathtaking!"
Charlene paused at this news.
May, the time of the great migration...
"Are you in the Serengeti?"
"Yeah, I—"
But Thorne and Vesta were in New York.
Sure, Charlene knew that ever since Thorne started taking Jasmine along, he always had security detail to accompany her, so she could explore whenever he was busy.
But she was still so young. Leaving her in the care of security while he and Vesta went to New York seemed irresponsible, especially if something were to happen...
Charlene gripped her phone tighter, trying to keep her emotions in check. "Did you go with your dad?"
"No, Dad said he had work and couldn't come with me. He told me to choose something fun to do. I'd seen the migration on TV and always wanted to see it for myself, so I told Dad. He arranged for someone to take me here," Jasmine explained.

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...
