Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 517

Gaylord had joined the system test this time as well.

Vesta hadn’t expected to see him there. Spotting Gaylord across the room, she couldn’t help but glance his way.

Gaylord, for his part, was equally surprised to find both her and Thorne present.

When he noticed her gaze lingering on him, he looked away, his expression cool and detached.

Seeing his indifference, Vesta just smiled faintly.

Truthfully, she was only here because she had a business trip out of town; she wasn’t traveling with Thorne to Jade City.

She turned to Thorne and said, “It’s about time, I should get going.”

“I’ll walk you out,” Thorne offered.

Vesta smiled at his insistence. “No need, really. It’s just a short walk. You focus on your own work. I’ll call you once I land.”

“Alright,” Thorne replied.

Nearby, members of both the Henderson Group and PrimeStar couldn’t help but whisper to each other about how close Thorne and Vesta seemed.

Stewart smirked dismissively.

Charlene watched silently, her expression unreadable.

Vesta bid farewell to the rest of the Henderson Group with a polite nod before leaving, not sparing Charlene or Stewart so much as a glance.

On the plane, Charlene and Thorne’s seats were separated by just a single aisle.

Stewart, who needed to discuss something with Mr. Windsor from the Henderson Group, noticed how close their seats were and asked, “Is that going to be a problem?”

Charlene shook her head. “It’s fine.”

Gaylord happened to be seated right beside Charlene.

He held out his phone to her.

Charlene took the phone and answered, still standing in the doorway. “Minnie?”

“Mommy! I’m buying you a present, but I don’t know what you like, and I couldn’t reach you…” Jasmine’s excited voice rattled on at the other end.

Once Charlene understood, she replied, “Mommy knows, sweetheart. I’ve just been busy today—my phone probably died and I missed your calls. I’ll check it in a moment. Let me know once you’ve picked something, okay?”

“Okay!”

After that, Jasmine didn’t say much more and hung up quickly.

Charlene handed the phone back to Thorne.

He nodded, murmured, “Good night,” and was about to turn to leave when he nearly bumped into Gaylord, who was on his way over to see Charlene.

Gaylord stopped in his tracks, momentarily taken aback at the scene before him.
