Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 

The 

The kids getting along well with him, that seemed pretty normal. 

Besides, she noticed how other parents, when watching their spouse play games with their kids, would laugh heartily or clap in encouragement when things went well, and get anxious when they didn’t. 

You could really feel the unity among them. 

But when it came to Charlene… 

Sure, Charlene had a smile on her face when she was with her child and playing games, but there was something different about it. It was like there was a gap between her and her husband and daughter. 

Thinking back to the last parent–teacher meeting, it was clear that Charlene’s daughter had a strong bond with that other woman. So, Charlene feeling a bit left out of her husband and daughter’s world seemed kind of understandable. 

Any parent would feel uneasy if their child got close to the person who disrupted their marriage, right? 

With that thought, she realized Charlene must be feeling pretty down. But looking at Charlene, she just couldn’t figure out the right way to offer comfort. 

Charlene caught the glimpse of pity and concern in her eyes. Charlene knew she probably had a hint of what was going on. She gave a small smile. 

The hardest times had already passed for her. She understood that Vesta was busy, and that’s why Thorne and Jasmine asked her to join the event. 

So today, yes, she did feel a bit like an outsider. 

Just then, Thorne and Jasmine returned. 

Jasmine leaned in to see the video she had recorded, and Charlene sent it to both her and Thorne, saying, “I’ve sent it to you, you can watch it on your tablet.” 

Jasmine replied, “Okay.” 

After three games, the parent–child activities wrapped up. 

Jasmine had won two championship trophies. 

With her trophies in hand, Jasmine asked Thorne to take her picture. 

Thorne snapped several shots of her. 

Then Jasmine turned to Charlene and said, “Mom, can you take some of me and Dad too?” 

Charlene nodded, “Sure.” 

She took four or five photos of Jasmine with Thorne as she had asked. 

After sending them to Jasmine, Thorne suddenly suggested, “How about I take some of you and Minnie too?” 

“Yeah, come on, Mom,” Jasmine encouraged. 

“Alright.” 

Thorne took her phone and clicked photos of her and Jasmine. 

Once done, Charlene retrieved her phone, which soon started ringing. 

It was a call from Stewart. 

just take this call,” Charlene said. 

Okay, Mom!” Jasmine replied.

“Alright,” Thorne added. 

Charlene stepped aside and discussed work with Stewart for about ten minutes. When she returned, she saw. Thorne and Jasmine seemingly on a video call with someone. 

She didn’t walk over but instead checked the work documents Stewart had sent her. 

A moment later, Jasmine waved her over, “Mom, come on, we need a big group photo and then we can go eat!” 

Charlene joined them, and along with other parents, they took a group photo. 

Ms. Payne also took photos of each family. 

And with that, Jasmine’s school event officially came to an end. 

As Charlene was about to leave, Thorne grabbed his coat and asked, “Where do you want to eat?” 

Before Charlene could answer, Jasmine excitedly raised her hand, “I want barbecue, like the place we went last time!” 

horne gently pinched her cheek and said, “That place is too far, and you’ve got afternoon classes. We won’t have enough time.” 

“Okay,” Jasmine pouted a bit, “How about seafood then?” 

Thorne didn’t respond right away but turned to Charlene, “What do you feel like eating?”
