Stewart and Charlene had become strangers to each other over the years, their meetings few and far between. Yet, even with these brief encounters, Stewart could tell the vibrant spirit that once defined Charlene seemed to have dimmed considerably.
He remembered Charlene in her prime, a force to be reckoned with, and could hardly believe she could ever be associated with the word 'insecure.'
Stewart wasn't privy to the intricacies of Charlene's marriage to Thorne, but he had heard enough to form his suspicions. Without delving into details, he earnestly advised Charlene, "Falling behind for a bit doesn't really matter, Charlene. You've got skills and talents that aren't just run-of-the-mill. It's never too late to start over if you're still passionate about this path. Don't forget you were the student the professor was most proud of in his teaching career."
Charlene chuckled at that. "If our professor heard that, he'd probably scoff, saying he was picking the tallest dwarf."
When recalling their refined yet sarcastically sharp professor, Charlene's smile faded slightly. "I saw in the news that he's back for the celebration. How is he doing?"
"Pretty well, just constantly annoyed by us, his students, always embarrassing him," Stewart replied.
Charlene laughed, her heart swelling with nostalgia for the days spent learning from their professor and tirelessly working on research papers.
"Come back, Charlene," Stewart urged.
Holding her coffee mug tightly, Charlene took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay."
Her passion for artificial intelligence started at a young age, and she loved the field. But her love for Thorne had led her to abandon her dreams for nearly seven years.
Returning after such a long hiatus, catching up would undoubtedly take time. Yet, Charlene believed that with effort, it was still possible.
"When do you plan on coming back?" Stewart inquired.
"I need to hand over my current projects. It might take a while."
"I came for the Starlight University anniversary celebration," Charlene replied.
Tiffany seemed to have forgotten that Charlene was also a graduate of Starlight University.
The day was for honored graduates invited by the university, except for faculty and current students. In Tiffany's eyes, Charlene was an ordinary graduate without significant achievements.
Tiffany decided not to dwell on it. She couldn't be bothered to care if Charlene didn't speak out of turn and embarrass the Henderson family.
Thinking of her son, Tiffany bluntly stated her purpose. "Cain mentioned he misses your cooking. I'll have the driver drop Cain off at yours and Thorne's place later."
Cain, Tiffany's son and two years older than Jasmine, had grown increasingly rebellious due to his parents' strained relationship and Tiffany's busy career. Knowing Cain enjoyed Charlene's home-cooked meals, Tiffany had started sending him over whenever she could.

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...
