Chapter 89
wenty minutes later, Thorne and Jasmine arrived.
Irma didn’t glance at Thorne but warmly beckoned Jasmine with a smile, saying, “Here, my darling Minnie”
“Great–grandma.” Jasmine ran toward Irma, who hugged her and ruffled her hair before she went to Charlene. “Mommy.”
“Sweetie.” As Charlene hugged Jasmine, she detected a faint scent of the perfume that Vesta had been wearing earlier on her clothes. She didn’t voice her thoughts but gently pushed her away.
Thorne sat down beside Irma, handing her a box. “A peace offering”
It was Irma’s favorite type of iced tea, rare in the market and worth its weight in gold. Irma knew he apologized for missing the last trip to Sapphire Springs Resort.
She huffed, “Thinking of gifts for me, but what about Charlene? Have you prepared a peace offering for her?”
Thorne smiled, not saying a word, but glanced at Charlene. It was just a glance devoid of any other emotion.
Irma was ready to stick up for Charlene, hoping Thorne would pay her more attention. But for Charlene, it didn’t really matter anymore.
She didn’t look at Thorne, smiling, and said, “Irma, the food’s getting cold. Let’s eat.”
Irma thought Charlene was changing the subject to avoid discussing Thorne.
After all, when Thorne neglected her and Irma scolded him on her behalf, she would find excuses for Thorne.
Irma sighed in resignation, “You’re always taking his side.”
Charlene just smiled, saying nothing.
Thorne remained indifferent, and his expression was unchanged despite her defending him.
It was getting late. It was time to eat.
Irma stood up, taking Jasmine by the hand. “Minnie hasn’t had dinner with Great–grandma in a long time. Will you sit beside me today?”
Jasmine nodded obediently. “Okay.”
“You’re a good girl,” Irma said, glancing meaningfully at Thorne, the intention clear.
Charlene knew Irma was trying to play matchmaker with her and Thorne again. She didn’t look for Thorne’s reaction but followed Irma into the dining room.
As she sat opposite Irma and Jasmine, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Thorne had pulled out the chair beside her and sat down.
Irma seemed somewhat satisfied. Once the meal was served, she told Thorne, “Serve Charlene some food?
Charlene didn’t look at Thorne, saying, “No need, Irma. I can-”
Before she could finish, Thorne had served her favorite stir–fried meat on her plate.
Charlene paused, “Thank you.”
> Thorne said nothing.
When Irma asked Thorne to serve Charlene, it wasn’t just for a single dish but to take care of her throughout the meal.
So, as Charlene’s plate neared empty, Thorne would serve her more, always her favorites. However, that didn’t Signify much. After all, such instances had occurred a few times over the years, and with Thorne’s memory, he could remember without making an effort.
08:38
After dinner, Thorne stayed chatting with Irma.
Charlene stayed mostly on the sidelines, rarely jumping into the conversation or starting one with Thorne, and
he even avoided making eye contact with him.
Seeing the couple barely communicate after so many years, Irma sighed helplessly.
By nine o’clock, Irma was tired and waved them off, suggesting they head upstairs to rest.

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...
