Chapter 90
Charlene helped Jasmine into her pajamas after a warm shower and was drying Jasmine’s hair. Jasmine watched Charlene’s focused face in silence, suddenly realizing that Charlene had become unusually quiet. It used to be that Charlene would fill their time with endless chatter.
Catching Jasmine’s thoughtful gaze, Charlene asked, “What’s on your mind, love?”
Jasmine shook her head. “Nothing.”
Maybe she was overthinking things. Or perhaps Charlene had something on her mind and didn’t feel like talking.
Once her hair was dry, Jasmine tumbled on her bed and asked, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?”
Charlene paused, then asked, “Do you want me to stay with you tonight, sweetie?”
“I don’t mind either way. But you haven’t slept with Dad for a while. Don’t you want to sleep with him tonight?”
‘ll head back in a bit.”
Charlene hadn’t finalized the divorce papers with Thorne yet. If Jasmine hadn’t asked her to stay, staying in their room could stir up drama, especially if Irma found out.
Charlene left Jasmine’s room and found the light in their bedroom still on. Thorne was sitting by the desk, busy on his laptop.
He looked up when she walked in. Charlene quickly diverted her gaze and headed to the closet to grab her nightgown, then slipped into the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out, Thorne was still typing away.
Dressed in her nightgown, Charlene sat at the edge of the bed, completing her skincare routine before settling in with a book, considering it was still early.
They were wrapped up in their worlds in the bedroom without exchanging.
Close to midnight, Charlene couldn’t keep her eyes open anymore. She put her book away, turned off her bedside lamp, and slept.
Charlene and Thorne hadn’t shared a bed in ages and thought it would be hard to fall asleep. She also half–expected Thorne to leave after finishing his work to be with Vesta.
With these thoughts, Charlene drifted off, the soft clicking of the keyboard lulling her to sleep. She slept surprisingly well, feeling cozy and warm under the covers.
As Charlene was about to get up, she felt a warm breath near her ear and realized she was holding someghe. Stiffening, she quickly became fully awake.
Charlene opened her eyes and found herself snuggled up against Thorne, who was holding her tight with legs around her and sleeping deeply. They were so close that there was hardly any space between them.
Charlene could feel the warmth of his chest and the strength of his arms, taking pride in the fact that she was
a peaceful sleeper.
The night before, she had consciously slept on the edge, thinking that even if she and Thorne were in the same bed, there would be a gap between them. So, it seemed unlikely she had rolled into his arms unless Thorne > had grown used to sleeping with Vesta during their separation and had mistaken her for Vesta in his
half–asleep state.
With this thought, Charlene withdrew her hand from Thorne’s chest, slowly making a fist.
She tried to move out of his embrace, but her movement seemed to have woken him. Thorne’s grip tightened, pulling her closer into his embrace.
08:39
Caught off guard, Charlene was about to protest when a kiss landed on her forehead. “Sleep a bit longer.”
Thorne could never have said those words to her.

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...
