Chapter 287
“Dad, Ms. Hawkins!”
As soon as they stepped out of the airport, Jasmine spotted Thorne and Vesta, She quickly let go of Latonia’s hand and dashed toward them, launching herself into their arms.
Inside the car, Jasmine rummaged through her backpack, pulling out quirky little trinkets she’d picked up during her travels to show Vesta and Thorne,
“Dad, Ms. Hawkins, I got you guys some gifts!”
Vesta accepted them, gently ruffling Jasmine’s hair with a smile. “Thank you, Minnie
Today was the day Irma was discharged from the hospital, so Thorne and Jasmine were headed back to the family home for dinner.
After leaving the airport and dropping Vesta off at her place, Thorne instructed the driver to turn the car towards the family estate.
In the car, Thorne was busy with work.
Jasmine didn’t bother him, keeping herself entertained with her own thoughts.
Once they reached the family estate, Jasmine jumped out of the car, her backpack bouncing as she ran towards the house, calling out, “Mom, Mom!”
Thorne packed up his laptop and got out of the car, responding leisurely, “Your mom’s not here.”
Jasmine stopped in her tracks, turning back to him with a puzzled expression. “Huh? Mom’s not here?”
“That’s right.”
“Is she still busy with work?”
Thorne gently tousled her hair. “Maybe you could give her a call and find out.”
“Oh…”
Lately, every time Jasmine tried calling her mom, she got no answer.
It wasn’t as tough when she was at home, but being abroad felt different. Even though her dad and Ms. Hawkins called and video–chatted with her daily, she still felt a pang of loneliness and homesickness without them nearby.
During those first days in a foreign country, she missed her mom the most. She called her every day. But her mom never picked up.
Eventually, she got used to it, figuring her mom was probably too busy to answer. So she stopped calling.
Before coming back, she secretly hoped her mom would be at the airport to greet her.
But when Dad and Ms. Hawkins said they would pick her up, she didn’t call her mom.
She assumed her mom would definitely be at the family home.
But now…
Thinking about it made Jasmine not want to call her mom anymore. She felt that even if she did, her mom probably wouldn’t have time to answer.
When she got to the estate and realized Charlene wasn’t there, the excitement of coming home quickly faded.
Thorne crouched down, gently pinching her cheek, raising an eyebrow. “Are you crying?”
Jasmine pouted and turned her head away. “No, I’m not!”

Thorne said, “Have you given up? Don’t want to call your mom anymore?”
Jasmine didn’t reply immediately. After a moment, she mumbled softly, “N–no, I still want to call her.”

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...
