Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 

By the time they got home, Irma was still awake. 

Seeing Charlene indeed came back in Thorne’s car, she finally went to her room to rest, at peace. 

After heading upstairs, Charlene made a call to Vernon Ross to update him on the situation. 

As soon as she hung up with Vernon, Stewart’s call came through. 

Half an hour later, after finishing the call and returning to her room, Charlene found Thorne had already * showered and was now leaning against the headboard, deeply engrossed in a book. 

Noticing her return, Thorne shifted his gaze from the book, gave her a brief look, and then returned his attention to his reading. 

Charlene also diverted her gaze, then went to take a shower and do her skincare routine. 

By the time she was done, it was getting late. Charlene took a glance at Thorne. 

She had gotten used to Thorne’s coldness towards her. Being alone with him didn’t make her feel uncomfortable anymore. 

But now, after he had helped her, there seemed to be a slight thaw in their relationship, which ironically made her unsure of how to act around him. 

Regardless, she knew their relationship wouldn’t fundamentally change. 

With that thought, Charlene quietly got into bed, ready to sleep. 

Just as she lay down, Thorne put away his book, turned off the light, and lay down as well. 

It was as if he had been reading just to wait for her, to turn off the light for her. 

Charlene paused, thinking she might be overinterpreting things. 

Her heart calmed down again, and she soon fell asleep. 

The next day, Irma wanted Thorne to drive Charlene to work again. 

Charlene turned her down again, “Grandma, I’ve got a networking event today and I need to head out. It’d be really inconvenient without the car.” 

Irma frowned, looking towards Thorne, hoping he’d offer to drive her himself. 

But Thorne, silently eating his breakfast, didn’t play into Irma’s hands. 

Charlene, seeing this, bowed her head. 

Irma, seeing Thorne’s reluctance, didn’t insist further. 

Of course, Charlene didn’t actually have any networking event planned. 

She said so to avoid another car ride with Thorne and to spare him the trouble. 

The day passed without incident. 

Charlene stayed at the office, working late until after nine, then drove herself home. 

Arriving home, she was surprised to find that Thorne was already there, which was unusual unless something special had happened, as he typically came home late. 

Thorne wasn’t in the bedroom. Charlene turned on the light, set her bag aside, and was about to check on Jasmine in her room when she noticed a red booklet on her dressing table. 

Charlene paused. 

誌 

Even though she and Thorne shared a bedroom, the left side of the bed was Thorne’s territory, and she usually

wouldn’t cross into it without a good reason. Likewise, the right side was her space, which Thorne always repected. 

their belongings, such as wallets, watches, skincare products, and the like, were also kept to their respective 

sides. 

So, the red booklet was definitely not misplaced by Thorne. 

With this in mind, Charlene approached it. 

Only upon closer inspection did she realize it was a property deed. 

*Immediately, she had a hunch, opened it, and saw it was indeed for the villa across from her uncle’s house. 

The deed listed her as the sole owner. 

Before she could fully process this, Thorne returned to the room. 

Hearing his footsteps, Charlene turned, looked at him seriously, and said, “I saw the deed. Thank you.” Before he could respond, she continued, “I don’t have that kind of money on hand right now. I’ll pay you back for the House in time-”
