Chapter 62
No way, Mommy. Can you come with me, please? Sapphire Springs Resort is so far. It will be boring if I go alone.”
Charlene paused.
Oh well.
“Alright.”
PrimeStar had been developing a new app, and after dinner, Stewart called to discuss some technical issues with her.
While Thorne and Jasmine chatted in the living room, Charlene stepped outside to take the call. It was half an hour later when Charlene finally wrapped up the conversation.
Jasmine looked up at her, unable to resist commenting, “Mommy, you’ve been getting a lot of calls lately, talking for hours every evening. You never used to do that.”
Overhearing that, Thorne looked up at her.
Hearing Jasmine mention it made the housekeeper realize it was true. Before, Charlene rarely spent so much time on the phone, let alone have such lengthy conversations.
Could Mrs. Henderson be having an affair? the housekeeper wondered.
No, that seemed unlikely. Given Charlene’s feelings for Thome, that just couldn’t be it.
“Just some work stuff,” Charlene replied briefly. “I’m going upstairs to handle a few things.”
Jasmine said, “Okay.”
Charlene booted up her computer to start working on the files Stewart had sent her.
Seeing her so busy, Jasmine didn’t want to disturb her. After playing alone and taking a bath, she peeked in again.
Charlene hadn’t neglected her professional skills in the past few years. Occasionally, when she had free time, she’d even design a few programs, sharing some basics with Jasmine when she came over, though Jasmine was only three or four and often fell asleep listening.
As Jasmine looked on, Charlene didn’t mind her and kept working.
Jasmine didn’t understand much but suddenly realized this work seemed familiar. Vesta had done something similar.

Jasmine watched for a bit before heading to bed.
Charlene continued working until she finished, then shut down her computer. Checking the time, she realized it was already past 2 am
She hadn’t gone back to the master bedroom, and Thorne hadn’t shown any reaction. Maybe her bunking in Jasmine’s room and cutting back on their time together was just what he wanted.
The following day, Charlene didn’t wake up to make breakfast.
Jasmine woke up. Seeing Charlene asleep beside her, she realized her mom had stayed with her through the night.
Seeing Charlene still asleep, Jasmine quietly got up and left the room.
Seeing Thorne, she yawned, “Morning, Dad.”
Thorne responded with a simple “Hmm.”
“Mommy’s still asleep.”
“Hmm.”
When Charlene got up for breakfast, Thorne almost finished eating. They didn’t talk much, and Thorne left after finishing his meal.
Charlene also headed to the office when it was time. She left work on time that evening. When she got home, Jasmine was already waiting in the car. But Thorne hadn’t returned yet.
Charlene and Jasmine waited for over twenty minutes, with Jasmine frowning. “Dad’s taking forever.”
Calmly reading a book, Charlene didn’t seem bothered.
Then, the living room phone rang.
A few seconds later, the housekeeper relayed, “Mr. Henderson says he’s busy and can’t make it back. He’s asked you and Miss Minnie to go to Sapphire Springs Resort, and he’ll join later.”
Charlene was indifferent, responding, “Got it.”
Thorne had said he’d join them later but never showed up that night, not even when it was deep into the night.

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...
