Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 342

A little while later, Thorne Henderson picked up the phone. "School's out?"

"Yeah..."

Thorne chuckled, "Missing your mom?"

"Yeah..."

"Haven't called her?"

"Yeah."

Thorne let out a small laugh, "Go ahead, today your mom should have time to pick up."

Jasmine Henderson's eyes lit up at his words, "Really?"

"Really, give her a call."

"Okay!"

As soon as she hung up with Thorne, Jasmine quickly dialed Charlene Ross.

Charlene paused when she saw Jasmine's call. Although they had seen each other recently when Jasmine had an accident and ended up in the hospital, those meetings weren't part of the planned monthly visits.

Putting those aside, it had actually been over a month since they last met according to their arrangement.

With that in mind, Charlene answered, "Hey, Minnie, just got out of school—"

Before Charlene could finish, Jasmine, thrilled that Charlene had picked up, exclaimed, "Mom!"

Jasmine's voice was full of delight.

Charlene paused, her hand still over the computer mouse. It took her a moment to respond, softly saying, "Yes, I'm here. You finished school?"

Unable to contain her longing, Jasmine turned to Charlene and said, "Mom, it's been so long since you cooked for me. Could you make dinner tomorrow? I miss the food you cook."

Ever since she decided to divorce Thorne, Charlene hadn't cooked much for Jasmine. And even when Jasmine visited the Ross family, Charlene had been too busy to whip up anything special.

Thinking about it, she agreed, "Sure."

The ongoing situation with Vesta wasn't much of a concern to outsiders. So, the close bond between Charlene and Jasmine hadn't reached the ears of Irma or Vernon.

They had suspected, even before Jasmine returned, that she might grow attached to Vesta.

Naturally, this made them uneasy. But they also understood that Jasmine was young and unaware of the complicated history between the Ross and Hawkins families. She couldn't be blamed for what she didn't know.

Charlene hadn't been able to secure custody of Jasmine, and Irma and Vernon had worried that long separations might drive a wedge between mother and daughter.

Seeing Jasmine so attached to Charlene now, they were pleasantly surprised and quietly relieved.
