Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 462

Jasmine held Charlene’s hand in one and tugged Thorne’s sleeve with the other. “Come on, let’s go eat!” she chirped.

Charlene hesitated, trying to slip her hand from Jasmine’s grasp. But Jasmine suddenly piped up, “You know, it’s been ages since I had dinner with both my mom and dad.”

Charlene paused, glancing at the little girl’s beaming face as Jasmine clung to her and Thorne, surrounded by other children happily flanked by their parents. Charlene’s heart twisted.

She’d kept Jasmine when the unexpected pregnancy happened, her decision alone. For years after, Thorne had barely been involved in Jasmine’s life.

Only in the last couple of years had Thorne started making an effort, but by then, she and Jasmine spent more time apart than together as a family.

The truth was, Jasmine had never really known what it was like to have both parents around—a normal family life.

In that, Charlene knew she’d let her daughter down.

She’d given birth to Jasmine, raised her, but had never really given her a typical childhood.

No matter what happened between her and Thorne, they would always be Jasmine’s parents.

Whatever the future held, even if they divorced, there would be times they’d have to sit down together to talk about Jasmine’s future.

A family meal like this, really, wasn’t so hard.

“Mom?” Jasmine shook her hand and looked up at her with bright eyes when she didn’t respond.

Snapping back to the moment, Charlene glanced at Thorne, silently asking his opinion.

He was already watching her, as if he could read her mind.

“What shall we eat?” he asked.

She looked away, her voice neutral. “You pick.”

Thorne nodded. “Alright.”

Soon, they each got into their cars and drove to the restaurant.

When they arrived, they were shown to a private booth. Jasmine slid into the middle seat, and Thorne handed Charlene the menu. Then he turned to her and asked, “Will you be coming by The Henderson Group this afternoon?”
