Chapter 56
Thinking of this, she said, “Got it. I’ll be back soon.”
Charlene prepared beef steak for Jasmine that evening and also simmered a soup. She stayed over for the next two days.
By Friday, Helena called, asking her to come home for dinner.
Charlene took Jasmine back to the Ross family. Only Helena was home. Everyone else was either busy with social engagements or still at school.
Helena was unaware Jasmine had returned from abroad. Seeing Charlene bring Jasmine along, she was delighted. Jasmine and Helena had a close bond, bringing much joy to Helena.
That night, Charlene and Jasmine stayed over at the Ross family.
The following morning, Charlene got up early to make homemade pasta.
Seeing how skilled Charlene was, Helena reminisced about the days before Charlene was married, when she hardly did any household chores, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Understanding what Helena was thinking, Charlene smiled and said, “Cooking is my way of finding peace. I quite enjoy it.”
Noticing Charlene had gained a bit more weight since her last visit, Helena felt more at ease.
After finishing the pasta and chatting with Helena, Charlene went upstairs.
Jasmine was already up, getting ready for the day.
While tidying up the pajamas Jasmine had changed out of, Charlene noticed Jasmine’s tablet ping with a message from Vesta. [Minnie, awake yet? I will be back this afternoon, and we’ll have dinner together. How about I take you out tomorrow?]
Charlene glanced at it and looked away, putting Jasmine’s changed clothes in the washing machine.
When she got back, Jasmine was holding onto the tablet tight, trying to keep her chat with Vesta from Charlene. Charlene didn’t expose her, saying, “Breakfast’s ready. Come downstairs.”
Jasmine leaped from the bed excitedly. “I haven’t had Mommy’s homemade pasta in so long. Yay!”
During breakfast, Helena happily asked, “Minnie, what would you like for dinner tonight? Grandma can have it made just for you.”
Hasmine knew Helena wasn’t fond of Vesta. After hearing that, her eyes darted around before she whispered, “Grandma, Daddy’s coming home tonight. I want to go home for dinner.”
Helena was a bit reluctant, having not seen Jasmine for a while. But knowing how attached Jasmine had become to Thorne over the
she didn’t think much of it. years,
Charlene knew Jasmine was lying but pretended otherwise, serving Helena some food. “It’s okay. I’ll stay here with you.”
It seemed unreasonable for a wife to stay at her parents‘ house when her husband returned from a business trip. But Helena had always disapproved of Charlene’s dedication to Thorne and would fully support her if she wanted a divorce.
So, upon hearing Charlene say this, Helena smiled, “Good. Our Charlene is such a darling.”
Jasmine, worried about how to ditch Charlene to meet Vesta that evening, breathed a sigh of relief hearing Charlene’s words.
When Jasmine left, Helena prepared a bunch of her favorite foods. But Charlene declined, suggesting they be saved for her cousin’s kids instead.
When Jasmine left, Charlene contacted Thorne’s housekeeper to arrange for someone to pick her up rather than going herself. Helena found this odd but didn’t dwell on it further.

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...
