Thorne had been swamped lately. He was barely halfway through his meal when his phone rang again.
As Thorne stepped out to take the call, Vesta seemed to remember something. She turned to Jasmine and said, “By the way, Minnie, school starts on Monday. Why don’t I drive you there?”
Jasmine hesitated, her face showing a hint of discomfort. “I’m sorry, Ms. Hawkins. I already asked my mom to take me. She promised she would.”
“Oh, I see,” Vesta replied, not pressing the matter.

On Sunday evening, just as Charlene finished dinner and was about to unwind, her phone buzzed with a call from Jasmine.
No sooner had she answered than Jasmine chimed in, “Mom, tomorrow morning Dad and I will come over. Then you and Dad can take me to school together.”
“Alright, sweetheart. I’ll be ready,” Charlene replied.
The next morning, Charlene had barely finished breakfast when Thorne and Jasmine showed up.
As Charlene stepped outside with her car keys, Jasmine hopped out of Thorne’s car and grabbed her hand, pulling her toward his vehicle. “Mom, we’re running late! Come on, get in!”
Charlene protested, “I’ll need my car to get back to the office later. It’d be easier if I just drive myself and meet you both at the school—”
Thorne interjected, “I’ll drop you off at PrimeStar afterward.”
Charlene was about to refuse, but Jasmine tugged her forward, bouncing on her toes. “Yeah, let Dad take you! Come on, Mom, hurry!”
Charlene hesitated, her brow furrowing for a moment. Then she turned and climbed into Thorne’s car.
Today, she wore a custom white lace dress that gave her a serene, graceful air—perfectly complementing her gentle disposition.
As Jasmine settled in beside her, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mom, you look so beautiful today!”
“Alright.”
After that, most of the conversation was between Jasmine and Charlene; Thorne remained quiet.
When they arrived at the school, both Thorne and Charlene walked Jasmine inside.
Standing together, they made an impressive pair—well-matched in both looks and demeanor, naturally drawing attention from those around them.
Seeing both parents accompanying Jasmine on the first day, Ms. Payne, her teacher, assumed the couple had reconciled. She smiled warmly at Charlene. “Ms. Ross, it’s been a while.”
Charlene nodded with a polite smile. “It has. Good to see you.”
Charlene chatted with Ms. Payne for a bit, then, once it was time, gave Jasmine a few last words of advice before she and Thorne turned to leave.
They walked away, and only when Jasmine and Ms. Payne had disappeared from view did Charlene finally pull out her phone and open her rideshare app.

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...
