Later that afternoon, after Vesta wrapped up her work, she thought about inviting Thorne out for dinner. She called his phone several times, but each attempt went unanswered. Finally, she decided to ring Thorne’s assistant, Coy.
As soon as Coy picked up, Vesta asked, “I haven’t been able to reach Thorne. Is he still busy?”
Coy seemed surprised. “Didn’t you know? The boss flew overseas on business this afternoon.”
Vesta paused, caught off guard.
She honestly hadn’t known.
Thorne hadn’t mentioned a word to her.
“Was the trip a last-minute decision?” she pressed.
“Yes, it was.”
Even if the trip had come up suddenly, it wouldn’t have taken long for him to send her a text or give her a quick call.
But he hadn’t said anything at all...
The thought left her unsettled.
After a moment’s hesitation, Vesta grabbed her purse and left her home office, calling Jasmine as she walked.
Jasmine was sprawled out in the living room, piecing together a puzzle. Seeing Vesta’s name flash on her phone, she answered cheerfully, “Ms. Hawkins?”
“Hi, sweetheart,” Vesta replied, her voice gentle. “Is Minnie home yet?”
“She’s home,” Jasmine confirmed.
Vesta smiled, “Did you have fun at the parent-teacher conference with your dad today?”
Jasmine giggled, “Ms. Hawkins, you got it mixed up! My mom came to the conference, not my dad.”
At the mention of Charlene, Vesta’s smile faded slightly, her tone softening. “Oh, I see...”
“Yeah.”
Vesta fell silent.
In truth, she knew that for the past two years—whether it was something big or small—Thorne and Charlene rarely spoke on the phone, relying almost entirely on text messages to handle things.
Even when it came to the divorce, Thorne could’ve sorted everything out with a message.
If anything, letting the lawyers handle it would’ve been even more straightforward.
And honestly, if Thorne wanted to do something, he didn’t need Charlene’s input.
Which meant, really, there was no reason for them to meet face-to-face.
Yet today, they had.
And from the sound of it, Thorne had made a point of seeing Charlene in person...

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
It is now mind numbing excruciating and irritating in the Chinese version where Thorne is ambiguous and now openly again intimate with Vesta, she leans and mutters sweetly holding his arm! And her clan are viciously demeaning Charlene while Thorne is within hearing distance. There is no justice no reparations for Charlene. Utter disheartening this novel is now...
Thorne must have bashed his head somewhere....
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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...
