Charlene and Jasmine kept playing their game, laughter echoing through the room.
Just then, Thorne’s phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he stepped away for some privacy before answering, “Hello?”
It was Vesta on the other end.
Ever since the Axiom Flux Technologies press conference—because of Charlene, and because she was genuinely concerned about Neural Nexus Tech’s future—Vesta’s nerves had been on edge. Thorne hadn’t reached out to her since yesterday afternoon, and now it was already past ten in the morning with still no word from him. Her anxiety only grew.
Trying to distract herself, she’d purposely left her phone behind during meetings and at lunch, hoping not to obsess over when he might finally contact her. But her resolve hadn’t lasted long. After lunch, she gave in and turned her phone back on, only to discover she’d missed a call from him around eleven. Back in her office, she found a new research report on the future market for autonomous vehicles on her desk.
Reading through the report, she realized just how little she’d understood about the scope of the self-driving car industry. The market was far larger than she’d ever imagined. Suddenly, the future for Neural Nexus Tech seemed full of promise.
Thorne had also included some pointers on technical development in his report. By the time she finished reading, the anxiety that had gnawed at her was replaced with a newfound confidence.
Composing herself, Vesta spoke, her voice tinged with relief and gratitude. “I was in a meeting this morning and left my phone behind. That’s why I missed your call.”
“Yeah, I heard,” Thorne replied. “Someone at your office told me.”
So he’d actually checked in with her colleagues when she didn’t answer, just to make sure she was alright? The thought made her smile.
“I read the report too,” she continued. “I know what I need to do next.”
“Good,” Thorne said, his tone steady. “The market for autonomous vehicles is huge. If we can address some of our product’s weaknesses, Neural Nexus Tech still has a lot of potential.”
This time, Thorne didn’t insist on coming along. He simply looked at Charlene and said, “Thank you.”
Driving Jasmine to school was hardly a burden—a far cry from the difficult times she’d left behind.
Charlene said nothing. She just ruffled Jasmine’s hair and said, “Let’s get going.”
Jasmine beamed. “Okay!”
Hand in hand, Jasmine waved goodbye to Thorne, then climbed into the car with Charlene. Thorne watched them drive away before heading to his own car and leaving as well.

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...
