Chapter 49
When he glanced toward the bathroom, Jasmine said, “Mom’s in there taking a shower.”
Thorne nodded and asked, “Did you ask Mommy to come over here to shower?”
Jasmine shook her head. “Nope, she brought her clothes over by herself.”
Thorne didn’t pursue the topic further. After chatting with Jasmine and telling her to get some rest, he turned and left.
Still in the bathroom, Charlene heard some noise and knew Thorne had come by, but she couldn’t hear what they were discussing.
Jasmine hadn’t fully recovered from her sickness, and the medicine made her drowsy. Seeing it getting late, Charlene decided to lie down in bed with Jasmine after her shower.
Jasmine snuggled into her arms, rubbing against her shoulder nook. “Mommy, you smell so nice and feel so soft.”
She felt the softest comfort in her mother’s embrace, even more so than in Vesta’s arms. But knowing Charlene wasn’t fond of Vesta, she kept that thought to herself.
Jasmine fell asleep quickly.
Exhausted herself, Charlene soon drifted off, too.
Since falling ill, Jasmine had a habit of kicking off her blankets. Maybe out of worry, Charlene woke up a few times during the night to tuck Jasmine in, making sure she wouldn’t catch a chill before she could comfortably get some shut–eye.
Charlene didn’t get much rest that night and woke up at dawn. Jasmine was still sleeping as Charlene quietly got out of bed and peered out the window, spotting Thorne jogging below as expected. He usually ran for about an hour before returning.
After getting ready and changing her clothes, Charlene went downstairs to make breakfast.
Half an hour later, she handed off the remaining tasks to Latonia, ensuring Jasmine didn’t have a fever flare–up, before grabbing her purse and car keys and heading out.
Not long after she left, Jasmine woke up and couldn’t find Charlene, asking, “Where’s Mommy?”
Latonia replied, “Mrs. Henderson had to go out.”
Jasmine pouted. “Oh.”
Latonia smiled. “But she made sure your breakfast was ready before she left.”
That lifted Jasmine’s spirits somewhat. Still not fully recovered but feeling hungry, Jasmine freshened up and went downstairs for breakfast.
Shortly after, Thorne came down and also noticed Charlene’s absence. He asked Latonia, “Where’s Mrs. Henderson?”
“Oh, Mrs. Henderson has gone out,” she replied.
Thorne didn’t ask further.
Meanwhile, after returning and grabbing a quick bite, Charlene was about to head to the office when the doorbell rang. She saw her neighbor, Mrs. Sullivan, and her daughter Sally through the door’s camera.
Opening the door, Charlene greeted, “Mrs. Sullivan.”
Mrs. Sullivan looked worried. “Ms. Ross, Sally’s grandmother is sick, and I must take her to the hospital. Could you please drop Sally off at school for me?”
Since Jasmine and Sally’s preschool was on the way to her office, Charlene agreed.
Twenty minutes later, as Charlene was looking for a parking spot near the preschool, she spotted Thorne, Vesta, and Jasmine. Jasmine looked well. She bounced along while holding hands with Vesta, enjoying herself. As for Thorne, he stood beside Vesta, thoughtfully shielding her and Jasmine from the traffic and pedestrians.
Sally also noticed Jasmine. “Charlene, it’s Minnie!”
Charlene smiled softly, “Yes, honey. I see her.”
“Who’s that beautiful lady holding Minnie’s hand? Is she Minnie’s mom, too? Does Minnie have two mommies?” asked Sally.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
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...
