Chapter 95
Driving away from the stables, Charlene found herself at a loss for where to go next.
Connie and Stewart were busy with their own things.
She considered returning to the Ross estate, but with Jasmine away, going back alone would just worry the matriarch…
As she mulled over her options, she drove past a wetland park bustling with families camping, and young ,adults out with their parents enjoying a day in the sun.
Watching the loving couples and joyful families sparked a mix of envy and a hint of sadness in Charlene.
After driving for a while, she impulsively pulled over and dialed a number on her phone, hesitating before finally making the call.
“Hello, how’s my mother doing?” she asked as the call connected.
An hour and a half later.
Harmony Health Retreat.
Standing in the courtyard, Charlene observed Sybil Ross from a distance. Her mother sat in a chair, looking vacant and frail, a stark contrast to the vibrant woman from her childhood memories. Despite being accustomed to this sight, Charlene’s heart still ached.
“The same as always, no change,” the director mentioned softly after a while.
Sybil couldn’t interact with people from her past without risking a relapse into turmoil.
Currently in a rare state of calm, Charlene didn’t want to disturb her.
After a brief pause, concerned that Sybil might see her, Charlene quietly exited the courtyard.
Walking away, she thanked the director and the staff caring for her mother.
“Ms. Ross, it’s our duty,” they responded.
After one last look through the glass, leaving behind some books and personal items for Sybil, Charlene departed from the retreat, her mood heavy.
Passing the wetland park again on her way back, the sight of kites dancing in the sky prompted her to turn the car around and head inside.
The park was breezy and sunny, a picturesque scene.
Yet, being alone among groups of people, she felt out of place.
Contemplating whether to buy a kite, she was suddenly approached by a little hand tugging at her fingers.
“Lady.”
Surprised, Charlene looked down to see Daisy, who nodded without releasing her grip.
“Daisy-”
Granger appeared, pausing upon seeing Charlene, then approached, “Are you here for some fun too?”
“Yeah.”
“Came with Minnie?”
Looking down, Charlene’s voice was soft, “No, just me.”
Understanding her situation, Granger fell silent for a moment.
As Charlene considered leaving, given her and Granger’s acquaintance was rather superficial, Daisy looked up

her, “Lady, let’s fly a kite together.”
can’t, sweetie. I have other things to do,” Charlene gently declined.
Daisy’s face fell, “Oh…”
Granger then interjected, “Why not join us? It’s just the two of us.”
He seemed to guess her thoughts, adding, “I’ll just watch over. It’s like giving Daisy another playmate.”
Charlene actually liked Daisy quite a bit.
*And, well…
She really didn’t want to be alone at the moment.
Hearing this, she didn’t refuse.
Together, they picked a kite, a blue butterfly, a favorite of both.
Charlene had some experience with kites, having flown them before during outings with Jasmine.
But the kite they chose this time was a bit large and tricky for Daisy to handle on her own. Granger stepped in silently to help, facilitating a moment of unexpected companionship.

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...
