“No, thank you. I’ve already eaten.”
To be honest, his confession had been touching—almost moving, really.
But still—
The only reason she’d answered his call tonight was to finally make things clear once and for all.
With quiet resolve, she spoke, her tone both sincere and final. “I really appreciate your feelings for me, but as you said, I’m simply not ready to start a new relationship right now. I’m sorry—and please, don’t wait for me.”
She noticed York Watson wanted to say something more, hesitated for a second, but in the end, she simply hung up.
Afterward, she stood there with her phone in hand, a swirl of emotions passing through her.
She let out a wry smile after a long moment, then turned and headed back toward the private dining room.
She’d been gone for quite a while.
The moment Stewart Ferguson figured out it was York who had called her, curiosity gnawed at him—he was dying to know what was really going on between them.
When he saw just how long she’d been on the phone with York, his curiosity only grew.
As soon as she returned, he leaned in and lowered his voice. “What’s going on between you and York?”
Charlene Ross took a sip of her lemon water and replied evenly, “Nothing, really.”
Stewart caught her drift. “Not convenient to talk about now, huh? I’ll ask you later, then.”
Charlene just gave him a look.
Gaylord Hearst was even more anxious than Stewart.
When Charlene stepped out to take the call, he’d been waiting for her to come back too.
He had no idea who York was, and while he waited, he shot a message to a friend, fishing for information.
Since everyone moved in the same circles, his friend knew York as well. The moment Gaylord asked, his friend filled him in on the essentials.
Right as Charlene returned to the dining room, his friend sent the last bit of info, then couldn’t help but text: [Why the sudden interest in York?]
Unable to hear what Charlene and Stewart were discussing, Gaylord glanced away and replied: [No reason.]
Thorne Henderson also glanced up when Charlene came back, but after just a second, he smiled and turned back to his conversation with the others.
Charlene, meanwhile, was oblivious to the little glances from Thorne and Gaylord. She barely paid them any mind—after exchanging a couple of words with Stewart, she joined Professor Hancock’s group and started chatting with them.

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...
