Charlene had no choice but to go and lie down beside her daughter.
The campground was abuzz with just enough noise to feel alive, not enough to disturb. Holding the fast-asleep Jasmine, Charlene soon drifted off as well.
She wasn't sure how long she slept, but when she awoke, Jasmine was still asleep. She sat up and glanced outside, seeing Thorne still sitting under the umbrella, engrossed in a book.
He must have heard her stir, because he looked up. "You're awake?"
Charlene nodded silently.
Just then, Jasmine woke up too. She snuggled against her mother for a while before finally agreeing to get up. A splash of water on her face washed away the last traces of sleep, and her energy returned in full force. She grabbed Charlene's hand and started pulling her around the campsite.
Seeing other people taking pictures, Jasmine decided she wanted to as well. She ran back to Thorne. "Dad, can you take a picture of me and Mom?"
Thorne set his book down. "Of course."
He patiently took photo after photo as Jasmine directed Charlene to sit, stand, and pose in various spots. He fulfilled every one of Jasmine's requests without a hint of annoyance. But he only photographed the two of them. Even when Jasmine was finally satisfied, he never once suggested taking a picture together.
They stayed until a little after five, then packed up their things and headed home separately.
…
The next morning, Charlene left the Ross residence early and went to PrimeStar. After handling a few work matters, she headed out to represent the company at a business conference hosted by the Starfall City government.
She was running a bit late, and as luck would have it, she ran into Vesta right as she got out of her car.
Dalton had always remembered her birthday. He had considered getting her a gift but felt he didn't have the right standing to give one, so he had ultimately decided against it.
But now…
He looked at her and started to say, "Ms. Spencer, you—" He stopped himself mid-sentence.
Vesta looked at him, confused. "Yes?"
Dalton had remembered a piece of news he'd heard a few days ago—that Thorne had recently spent a fortune, tens of millions, on a diamond. He was almost certain Thorne had bought it for Vesta. However, the purchase hadn't been made public, so Vesta likely didn't know. Thorne was probably planning a surprise. If he told her about the diamond now, he would ruin it.
Thinking this, he smiled again. "It's nothing. Shall we head inside?"

Comments
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...
