Chapter 94
That is to say, she was tasked with looking after Jasmine every weekend.
For reasons understood or not, it had indeed become more frequent for Thorne to be with Jasmine in the past couple of years.
Now, whether Thorne had personal engagements or truly unavoidable commitments, if he wasn’t available, it fell to Charlene to step in and take Jasmine under her wing.
Charlene returned to the townhouse.
During dinner, she casually asked Jasmine where she’d like to go over the weekend.
After a moment of thought, Jasmine shook her head, “I don’t really want to go anywhere special”
Charlene knew that Jasmine wasn’t short on places she wanted to visit; she just liked spending her weekends with Thorne and Vesta more. Now that neither of them was around, Jasmine’s interest in doing anything else had really dropped off.
Not wanting to press the issue, Charlene offered a different activity, “How about horseback riding?”
It had been a while since Jasmine had last ridden a horse. At the mention, her interest was piqued, and she eagerly nodded, “Yes, please!”
The next day, Charlene took Jasmine to the local equestrian center.
Upon arriving and getting changed, Charlene overheard Jasmine chatting with the riding instructor, her back turned, “My dad and Vesta are both amazing at horseback riding, really cool too. It’s just too bad they couldn’t come with me today…”
Charlene stood at the entrance, not wanting to interrupt their conversation.
The instructor noticed her and stood up to greet her, “Ms. Ross.”
Charlene nodded, and the instructor offered, “I’ll call someone else to assist you.”
“That’d be great, thank you,” Charlene agreed.
Even though Charlene was good at horseback riding, she usually paid more attention to Jasmine on their past visits and hardly rode herself. It had been about three to four years since she last really rode a horse.
Initially cautious, Charlene allowed the instructor to accompany her. However, after showing her comfort and skill on the horse, she confidently took the reins and, with a flick of the riding crop, galloped off.
After several laps, Charlene went to check on Jasmine.
Approaching, she paused a good distance away at the sight of Thorne and Vesta.
Unexpectedly, they were there too.
Jasmine was happily clinging to Vesta’s leg, the trio engrossed in a cheerful conversation. Soon after, Jasmine and Vesta mounted a horse together, with Jasmine in front and Vesta behind.
Thorne mounted another horse, and the two horses walked side by side, the trio atop them chatting and laughing, appearing for all the world like a close–knit family.
As they slowly moved away, without noticing her, Charlene withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
After changing out of her riding gear and taking a moment to rest, Thorne’s call came through.
Charlene answered, “Hello?”
On the line, Thorne mentioned, “I’m also at the equestrian center. I’ll take Minnie.”
Alright,” Charlene replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Thorne hung up the phone with his usual briskness.
Charlene had been waiting for this call to confirm Jasmine’s arrangement. Picking up her bag, she then made her leave.

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...
