Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 47
Chapter 47
Footsteps echoed from outside. Thome was back.
“Daddy!”
“Hmm.” Thorne entered and went to the bedside.
Seeing him, Charlene tried to put Jasmine down to make room for Thorne, but Jasmine clung to her, reaching out for her dad.
Thorne came closer and lifted Jasmine into his arms.
Holding Jasmine close, Charlene could catch the familiar scent of his cologne. But mingled with that familiar smell was a light whiff of ,women’s perfume. She had caught a whiff of this on Vesta at the dinner bash earlier.
Charlene turned away, rising to put some distance between them, stopping when the scents faded.
Adorned with a sleek watch, Thorne gently touched Jasmine’s forehead with his wrist before he looked at Charlene. “How’s her fever? Did it go down a bit?”
Charlene relayed the doctor’s words. “It’s shifted from a high to a low fever, but it’s still unstable. It might spike again.”
“I see.” Thome sat beside Jasmine on the bed while Jasmine snuggled into his arms, unwilling to leave. But she frowned, “Daddy, your jacket is so stiff.”
Thorne took off his jacket and handed it to Charlene. She caught it reflexively, holding it close until the mixed perfumes hit her, reminding her of their impending divorce.
In the past, holding his jacket would have felt like a cherished moment of happiness she wouldn’t want to let go of.
But then, she casually placed the jacket aside and told Jasmine, “I’ll go make some soup.”
With both parents at home, Jasmine seemed to perk up a bit. Hearing about the soup, she obediently nodded, “Okay, thanks, Mommy.” Charlene smiled and left Jasmine’s room.
Upon watching her leave, Thorne’s gaze fell on the suit jacket she’d left on the chair.
After starting the soup, Charlene began preparing other ingredients. Twenty minutes later, she emerged from the kitchen with clean hands.
Hesitant, Charlene went upstairs.
Turning a corner on the second floor, she saw Thorne at the end of the hallway, on the phone by a window. “Her fever has gone down. No need to worry.” he said.
Was he talking to Vesta? Did Vesta genuinely care about Jasmine?
Charlene withdrew her gaze and entered Jasmine’s room.
Jasmine had fallen asleep after her treatment, sweating profusely. Latonia was gently wiping her down.
Upon seeing Charlene, Latonia moved aside and offered her the towel, assuming Charlene wanted to tend to Jasmine personally. That had always been Charlene’s way. With anything concerning Jasmine and Thorne, she was hands–on.
Charlene shook her head.
Latonia paused but didn’t read too much into it, quietly helping Jasmine change into dry clothes.
Once Latonia finished, Charlene sat on the couch and asked, “Did the doctor leave?”
“Yes.”
“What did the doctor say? Will the fever come back?” She was contemplating whether to stay the night.
“The doctor doesn’t think so.”
“That’s good.”
Since Jasmine was okay, Charlene probably didn’t need to stay overnight.
The soup was still simmering downstairs. After sitting a while, Charlene went down to find Latonia in the kitchen. “I’ll keep an eye on it. You’ve had a long day. Why don’t you sit and rest a bit?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
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...
