Charlene knelt down and gently stroked Jasmine’s hair. “Mommy has to go to work now, sweetheart. Your great-grandma isn’t feeling well lately and needs lots of rest. Once she’s better, you can visit her, okay?”
Although the old lady had never truly blamed Jasmine for being close to Vesta, ever since she learned Sybil was also unwell, it was as if half the life had drained from her. If Jasmine visited now, the reminder of her closeness to Vesta would only weigh heavier on the old woman’s heart.
Jasmine’s eyes widened with concern. “Great-Grandma Helena’s sick? Is it serious? Why didn’t you tell me, Mom?”
Charlene hesitated for a moment before answering softly, “I didn’t want you to worry, darling.”
She gently disentangled Jasmine’s arms from around her waist and stood up. “It’s getting late, sweetheart, and Mommy has a lot to take care of today. Please look after yourself, alright?”
Jasmine clung a little tighter, reluctant to let go, but seeing how busy Charlene seemed, she finally let her arms drop. Still, her voice trembled with disappointment. “Mom, why are you so busy these days? You’re even busier than Dad. When will you have time for me?”
Charlene’s gaze softened, but her answer was no less vague. “I’m not sure, honey.”
As she spoke, thoughts of her impending divorce from Thorne surfaced. She knew she couldn’t keep this from Jasmine forever. Still, once the separation was final, if Thorne decided to marry Vesta, he would likely be the one to talk to Jasmine about it. There was no need for her to bring it up now.
Jasmine lowered her head, her voice barely above a whisper. “You always say that, Mom…”
Charlene felt a pang of guilt. She knew this excuse had become a shield she relied on far too often.
She reached for her bag. “I have to go now, darling.”
Jasmine’s shoulders slumped. “Oh… okay.”

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...
