Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 511

On Sunday afternoon, Jasmine called to say she wanted to come over. Remembering the promise she’d made to Jasmine earlier, Charlene agreed.

The driver brought Jasmine over.

As soon as Jasmine got out of the car, she ran straight into Charlene’s arms, beaming with delight.

After a round of affectionate hugs with both Charlene and Helena, Jasmine excitedly announced she’d won first place in her fencing tournament.

She’d even carried the trophy in her little backpack, proudly pulling it out and thrusting it into Charlene’s hands.

Helena couldn’t stop smiling, showering Jasmine with praise for her talent and determination.

When it came to fencing, Charlene knew she hadn't contributed much to Jasmine’s success. And in the future, she doubted she’d be able to do much more for her, either.

After a moment’s thought, Charlene said, “How about we go out and buy a frame for your trophy later, so we can put it on display?”

Jasmine shook her head. “No need! Dad already had a custom frame made for me before the competition. It’s really beautiful.”

She’d taken pictures, too. As Charlene mentioned the idea, Jasmine eagerly pulled out her phone and showed her a photo of the frame. “Isn’t it gorgeous?”

Charlene glanced at the image. Even through the photo, she could tell Thorne had spared no expense in having the frame made for Jasmine.

Thorne had quietly arranged everything in advance. It was clear how much care he put into Jasmine’s happiness.

Even though Jasmine already had a frame for her trophy, she was still delighted by how much Charlene valued her achievement.

That night, Jasmine stayed over at the Ross family’s house.

The next morning, Charlene slipped her documents into her purse. Jasmine glanced over and caught a glimpse of them, but she was still too young to understand and didn’t ask any questions.

Looking into Jasmine’s bright, innocent eyes, Charlene realized Thorne still hadn’t told her about the divorce.

Charlene hesitated, meeting Jasmine’s curious gaze. “Mom? What’s wrong?” Jasmine asked.

He had been about to leave as well, but paused to answer the call, slowing his steps.

Charlene walked ahead, but she still caught snippets of his conversation.

“It went smoothly, we’re finished here. I’ll be over at your place soon.”

He continued, “The issues at Neural Nexus Tech are all sorted. I’ve finalized the plan, so don’t worry. I’ll come by in person.”

After that, Thorne and Vesta moved on to other topics, but as Charlene and Thorne drifted farther apart, she could no longer make out their conversation.

Charlene got into her car and drove away.

Not long after, Thorne did the same.

And so, after finalizing their divorce, they didn’t even say goodbye.
