As soon as Charlene returned to her office, her phone began to buzz.
It was a call from Jasmine Henderson.
Remembering the lunch invitation from Thorne in the meeting room earlier, Charlene hesitated and decided not to answer Jasmine's call.
Jasmine was persistent, though, calling three times in a row. When Charlene didn't pick up, Jasmine sent a text instead.
“Mom, I have a fencing competition next month. Can you come with me to my training tomorrow?”
Charlene stared at the message, her grip on the phone tightening for a moment.
Ever since Thorne took Jasmine to Goldland two years ago, Charlene had missed out on so many aspects of her daughter's life.
She wasn't even sure what courses or extracurricular activities Thorne had arranged for Jasmine. Before she considered divorcing Thorne, she'd tried asking Jasmine about these things, but Jasmine was always tight-lipped.
If Jasmine hadn't mentioned it now, Charlene would never have known she was taking fencing lessons, let alone preparing for a competition.
Realizing how much she'd missed in Jasmine's life, Charlene sat there, absorbing the weight of it all, her mind adrift.
Just then, a knock at the door brought her back to the present.
“Come in,” Charlene called out.
It was Gaylord Hearst, here to discuss work matters.
Gaylord was always serious about work, and with the weekend just a day away, they wrapped up their conversation quickly. But as their discussion ended, he lingered, remembering the missed opportunities to invite her out.
“I caught a play a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it,” he said casually. “There's another performance this weekend. Would you like to join me?”
Charlene thought of Jasmine's message and shook her head. “I have plans on Saturday, so I'll have to pass.”
Gaylord looked a bit disappointed. “Oh, alright then…”

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...
