Accompanying Granger's flowers was a handmade card from Daisy. As Charlene saw it, she assumed Granger's bouquet was simply a polite gesture on Daisy's behalf. Still, a gift required a thank you.
She dialed his number. He had been expecting her call and answered on the first ring. "You got the gift? Happy birthday."
"I did. Thank you for the flowers," she said. "And please tell Daisy I absolutely love her card."
Granger smiled. "I will. She actually made it and sent it over two weeks ago. She'll be thrilled to hear you like it."
Charlene's heart warmed at Daisy's thoughtfulness. "Please tell her that when she's back in Starfall, I'd love to take her out to dinner."
"I'll let her know."
"Thank you," Charlene said. "I won't keep you any longer."
Granger clearly didn't want to hang up, but he had no reason to prolong the call. "You're welcome."
After hanging up, Charlene paused for a moment before calling York. The call went straight to voicemail, which confirmed her suspicion that he was on base and had arranged the delivery in advance. She sent him a text, thanking him for the flowers but also gently reiterating her position. Then, she sent a similar message to Gaylord.
…
After ending the call with Charlene, the smile faded from Granger's face. He sat in silence for a long moment before dialing Moran.
Moran answered, surprised. "Well, well, look who it is. The busy man finally has time to call. Do you have any idea how long it's been?"
Granger knew there were certain times of the year when Thorne would drop off the map for work. Still, to not even have thirty minutes to spare seemed extreme.
As Granger remained silent, Moran sighed on the other end of the line. "Whatever. Let's not talk about it. Thorne's probably more stressed about it than we are."
"Yeah," Granger murmured.
"Want to grab lunch?" Moran offered. "I'll invite Vesta along."
At the mention of Vesta, Granger paused. "Let's wait until Thorne gets back." It just wouldn't be the same without him.
"Alright, fine," Moran conceded.

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...
