Chapter 93
Next month marks Helena’s 70th birthday.
Charlene and Vernon were brainstorming on how to throw a party that the old lady would love.
Upon hearing their plans, Helena didn’t seem too thrilled and said, “Don’t fuss over me. A simple dinner with the family is all I need.”
Aunt Maisie chimed in, “But it’s your 70th birthday, Helena. We should celebrate it with a bang…”
Charlene and Vernon agreed. Since it was the wish of her children and grandchildren, Helena didn’t object further.
Tomorrow, Jasmine has school. After dinner, Charlene drove off with Jasmine.
Arriving at their mansion, Jasmine hopped out of the car, sprinting inside with joy.
Charlene sat in the car, motionless, telling Jasmine, “Get to bed early after your bath. Mom has some work to do and won’t be coming up.”
Jasmine’s smile faded, “What?”
She came back to the car, her little brows furrowed, looking at Charlene, “Mom, you’re busy with work again?”
Charlene maintained a straight face and replied, “Yeah, just focus on your classes. Call me if you need anything.”
Jasmine, slightly upset, pouted and finally said, “Okay then.”
Thorne was often away from home due to work too.
Assuming Charlene’s late nights were work–related, Jasmine didn’t think much of it.
The
butler greeted them upon their return.
Jasmine asked, “Is Dad home?”
The butler, all smiles, said, “He is.”
Charlene, unfazed, simply told Jasmine, “Mom has to go now.”
“Oh…” Jasmine stepped aside.
The butler, puzzled, asked, “Are you heading out again this late, ma’am?”
Charlene kept it brief, “Yes, I have some things to take care of.”
After telling Jasmine, “It’s cold outside, get in quick,” she drove off as Jasmine waved goodbye and went inside with the butler.
Upon entering, Jasmine inquired, “Where’s Dad?”
“He should be in his study.”
Jasmine headed upstairs and saw the study door ajar. Thorne was there, standing tall by the window, seemingly lost in thought.
“Dad,” Jasmine called out.
“Yeah,” Thorne turned around.
Jasmine said, “Mom had to leave again right after getting back.”
Thorne stubbed out his cigarette, replying, “Yes, I saw. Your mom’s been quite busy lately, almost as busy as your dad.”
Jasmine frowned, saying, “Mom’s been really busy, huh?”
08:39
horne gave a small laugh and said, “Yeah.”
it was getting late, and Jasmine was tired, She yawned, “I’m off to shower and bed. Goodnight, Dad.”
Goodnight, sweet dreams,” Thorne replied.
Back at her place, Charlene went straight to bed after freshening up.
For the next few days, even on Thursday when Charlene went back to the mansion to cook for Jasmine, she didn’t run into Thorne at all.
This time, there was no sign of Thorne or Vesta.
For the next few days, including Thursday when Charlene went back to the mansion to cook for Jasmine, there was no encounter with Thorne.
It was said he wasn’t traveling but was busy and wouldn’t be home for dinner.
As for what he was busy with, whether meetings with Vesta or actual business engagements, Charlene didn’t inquire.
On Friday, pondering what to have for dinner, Charlene received another call from Jasmine.
“Mom, Dad won’t be home this weekend. When are you coming back?”

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...
