Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 59
Chapter 59
After they walked away, Connie looked at Charlene with concern. “Charlene…”
Charlene shook her head, her voice soft but firm. “I’m fine.”
From the moment Henley divorced her mother, he ceased to be her father in her heart. It wasn’t just the divorce that hurt her but was the strain her relationship put on her uncle. And Thorne’s preference was like salt in the wound.
Thinking about how Thorne only had eyes for Vesta, how he could be so ruthless to Stewart and her uncle for Vesta’s sake, never sparing a thought for her feelings, it felt like a knife twisting in her heart. Bleeding, yet unseen.
“Charlene, here.” Connie hugged her, her heart aching for her friend.
Charlene managed a weak smile, saying nothing.
It was okay. Charlene had decided to move on. She just needed a bit of time. She could do it.
“Want to grab a drink?” Connie felt Charlene needed to unwind.
Charlene shook her head. “No, thanks.”
Instead of drinking, she preferred going home to dive into her research. That was her sanctuary, where she found peace and could be her true self.
Respecting her wishes, Connie didn’t push.
As they headed for the parking lot, Charlene’s phone rang. It was Jasmine.
The brief smile that had appeared on Charlene’s face faded as she answered after a slight pause. “Hey.”
Jasmine’s playful and longing voice came through. “Mommy, when are you coming home?”
Charlene didn’t immediately answer, asking, “What’s up?”
“I’m so bored here all by myself. Can’t you come home and keep me company?”
Thorne was
out, and Vesta was busy. The house was too quiet, and Jasmine missed the days when Charlene would chat with her and
about her favorite cartoons and action figures. So, she called Charlene, hoping she would come home. listen to her
Charlene replied, her voice detached yet gentle. “Mom’s got some work. Maybe next time.”
Che was a mom and wanted to grant Jasmine’s wishes whenever she could. But she needed her own space too, especially when she was feeling down in the dumps.
Jasmine sounded disappointed. “Okay then.”
“I’ve got to go. Call me if
you need anything.”
“Okay.” Hanging up, Jasmine felt even lonelier.
Then, Thorne walked in, finding her deflated like a balloon. “What’s wrong?”
“I called Mommy and wanted her to come home, but she’s busy…” Jasmine buried her face into a cushion, her voice muffled. “Mommy’s always so busy lately.”
Thorne hummed in response, settling on the couch with his phone to handle some work. Though he didn’t offer comfort with words, he stayed in the room, a silent presence that eventually lightened Jasmine’s mood. Soon, she got distracted by her tablet, playing puzzle games.
On the other side, seeing Henley return, Laverne Hawkins inquired, “What took you so long?”
Henley paused. “I ran into Charlene.”
“Oh? You saw her?” Laverne, a stunning and successful woman, wielded considerable influence in her husband’s family and the Hawkins family. Yet, her interest in Charlene, whom she hadn’t seen for years, was overshadowed by a more pressing matter. “Did you talk to her about Vesta joining PrimeStar?”
Henley shook his head. “I tried, but she wouldn’t listen.”
Laverne set down her coffee cup, her brow furrowed in frustration. “Charlene is… I understand she’s upset about Mr. Henderson choosing Vesta over her, but we’ve all met Mr. Henderson. He’s not someone that a woman with Charlene’s limited spark can hold onto. Even without Vesta around, it was just a matter of time before he’d walk away.”

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...
