Chapter 155
He casually asked, “Are you close to that woman?”
Hearing him inquire about Charlene made Vesta’s fingers pause mid–type.
Charlene was undeniably attractive.
Dalton’s question sparked a thought in Vesta’s mind that maybe he was interested in Charlene.
But recalling the conversation she overheard at the charity auction, and Dalton’s current demeanor towards her, Vesta realized she might have jumped to the wrong conclusion.
With a poker face, she replied, “Not really, why do you ask?”
Dalton glanced towards where Charlene and Stewart were chatting, commenting, “She seems quite capable, talking to Stewart like that, doesn’t she?”
Vesta responded indifferently, “Not sure, but I heard she only has a Bachelor’s degree.”
Just a Bachelor’s?”
“Mhm.”
That explained a lot. Charlene couldn’t compete with Vesta in terms of qualifications or charm, so it made sense that she was concerned about Stewart’s attention drifting.
Understanding her concern about Stewart possibly being snatched away, Dalton could empathize.
However, the fact that Charlene seemed hostile towards Vesta, always on edge about other women seducing
her boyfriend, struck him as rather petty.
This thought shifted Dalton’s neutral stance on Charlene to a mild disapproval.
Meanwhile, Stewart, having a moment to himself, peered through the glass window at Dalton and Vesta, speculating softly to Charlene, “Dalton likes Vesta?”
Caught up in her analytics, it took Charlene a second to register Stewart’s question and remember who Dalton
was.
She replied nonchalantly, “Seems like it.”
Her disinterest was palpable. After her brief response, she urged Stewart to focus on work, dismissing the gossip. After all, the sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.
Stewart made a face, “Weird taste.”
That was the end of their gossip.
Dalton, noticing Stewart’s glances, mistakenly thought he was eyeing Vesta.
He assumed Charlene’s irritation in pulling Stewart away was due to jealousy over his attention to Vesta.
Vesta hit a snag in her work and considered consulting Stewart, but seeing him and the tech team from Neural Nexus Tech all ears for Charlene, she retracted her gaze. Anyone would think Charlene was some tech wizard.
By five in the afternoon, Charlene and Stewart had nearly finished their work, putting the final touches on the contract between EchoWave and Neural Nexus Tech.
Ę Mr. Ferrell invited Charlene and Stewart to the conference room for a break and a drink.
Noticing Dalton and his party were also done, he suggested, “It’s getting late; how about we all grab dinner together?”
Dalton’s heart skipped a beat as he glanced at Vesta.
Vesta, acting as if she didn’t catch his look, excused herself, “Sorry, Thorne from The Henderson Group is

picking me up soon. We have other plans, so I’ll have to pass. Enjoy your dinner.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
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...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
Updating chapters to this novel is reminiscent of a sloth. There should be a disclaimer when this site states PUBLISH 10 chaps/day....
Seriously speaking story seems to loosing its grip.. no point in dragging.. it would be better if story gets wrapped within 600 chapters.....
Dragging and no real story. Mistress is having gala time and getting all attention and poor wife is getting neglected. The story is stuck and not moving...forget about the divorce let alone husband regretting. Boring book...
