Charlene nodded, but before she could speak, Thorne added, "There's no rush. We can pick some more before we leave."
"…Okay."
The estate also boasted vineyards, apple orchards, and, down in the valley, fields of corn and peanuts, all ripe for harvest. After the pomegranates and peaches, Jasmine insisted on picking grapes. Once they had a basketful, she even made her own fruit juice with the help of the staff.
The manager smiled. "Our resident winemaker happens to be on-site today. If Mr. Henderson and Ms. Ross are interested, you could try your hand at making your own wine."
Before Charlene could decline, Jasmine clapped her hands. "Yes, please!"
But her energy was finite. After drinking her juice, she grew tired, snuggling into Charlene's arms, her eyelids drooping. Still, she fought sleep, murmuring about wanting to pick corn, dig for peanuts, and catch fish in the pond.
Seeing Charlene struggle to hold her, Thorne gently took Jasmine into his own arms. "You're tired. Get some rest. You can do all that when you wake up."
"Okay…" Jasmine mumbled, letting out a big yawn. Within moments, she was fast asleep.
Thorne turned to the manager. "Could you arrange a room for us?"
The manager smiled. "A room is already prepared, sir. Please, follow me."
Thorne nodded and then looked at Charlene. "Let's go."
Charlene, exhausted from being pulled all over the estate by Jasmine, was ready for a rest. But when she heard Thorne ask for only one room, she hesitated.
The villa on the estate was clearly designed for the wealthy elite—it was spacious and impeccably decorated. When they reached the second floor and entered the room, Charlene understood why Thorne had only requested one. It was a family suite, enormous, with three separate bedrooms.
After opening the door for them, the manager discreetly left.
"You must be tired too," Thorne said to Charlene. "Go get some rest."
Thorne just smiled, a look of weary resignation on his face. He didn't say a word, but his expression clearly conveyed, *Do you really think if I could spare the time, I'd be dragging this out?*
She knew he was more eager for this divorce than she was.
"There are clean robes in the closet," he said softly. "Get some sleep."
Before she could reply, he turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.
Charlene stood frozen for a long moment before finally moving to the closet. She quickly washed her face, changed into a robe, and slipped into bed beside Jasmine, falling asleep almost instantly.
She must have slept for a long time. When she woke, the space beside her was empty.
She changed back into her clothes and went out into the living area of the suite. Thorne was the only one there. Hearing her, he turned with a smile. "You're awake."

Comments
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...
