Later that afternoon, after Vesta wrapped up her work, she thought about inviting Thorne out for dinner. She called his phone several times, but each attempt went unanswered. Finally, she decided to ring Thorne’s assistant, Coy.
As soon as Coy picked up, Vesta asked, “I haven’t been able to reach Thorne. Is he still busy?”
Coy seemed surprised. “Didn’t you know? The boss flew overseas on business this afternoon.”
Vesta paused, caught off guard.
She honestly hadn’t known.
Thorne hadn’t mentioned a word to her.
“Was the trip a last-minute decision?” she pressed.
“Yes, it was.”
Even if the trip had come up suddenly, it wouldn’t have taken long for him to send her a text or give her a quick call.
But he hadn’t said anything at all...
The thought left her unsettled.
After a moment’s hesitation, Vesta grabbed her purse and left her home office, calling Jasmine as she walked.
Jasmine was sprawled out in the living room, piecing together a puzzle. Seeing Vesta’s name flash on her phone, she answered cheerfully, “Ms. Hawkins?”
“Hi, sweetheart,” Vesta replied, her voice gentle. “Is Minnie home yet?”
“She’s home,” Jasmine confirmed.
Vesta smiled, “Did you have fun at the parent-teacher conference with your dad today?”
Jasmine giggled, “Ms. Hawkins, you got it mixed up! My mom came to the conference, not my dad.”
At the mention of Charlene, Vesta’s smile faded slightly, her tone softening. “Oh, I see...”
“Yeah.”
Vesta fell silent.
In truth, she knew that for the past two years—whether it was something big or small—Thorne and Charlene rarely spoke on the phone, relying almost entirely on text messages to handle things.
Even when it came to the divorce, Thorne could’ve sorted everything out with a message.
If anything, letting the lawyers handle it would’ve been even more straightforward.
And honestly, if Thorne wanted to do something, he didn’t need Charlene’s input.
Which meant, really, there was no reason for them to meet face-to-face.
Yet today, they had.
And from the sound of it, Thorne had made a point of seeing Charlene in person...

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...
