On the last possible day, Thorne still hadn't returned. The finalization window closed.
Charlene assumed it would be several more days before he came back. But the very next day, as she and Stewart were in a meeting, Jasmine called with the news: Thorne was home.
Stewart let out a laugh of pure disbelief. "Are you kidding me? He couldn't come back one day sooner? He does this the day *after* the window closes? He has to be doing this on purpose."
Charlene put down her phone, her face unreadable. It couldn't be intentional. It had to be a coincidence.
Stewart knew that too, but he was furious on her behalf. "You know what? Just file for divorce. But then again, from filing to the court date, that's another month…"
Before they could say more, a knock on the door interrupted them.
…
Meanwhile, in the group chat between Thorne, Moran, Granger, and Vesta, a new message appeared.
Thorne: [@Granger Harden @Moran Albright @Vesta Hawkins, Dinner tonight?]
Moran was the first to react: […]
[Wait, you're back? When did you get back?]
Thorne: [Just landed.]
Moran: […]
[…]
[…]
But then he stopped, deleted his message, and typed a new one: [Wait a minute. Tagging me and Granger makes sense, but do you really need to tag Vesta in the group chat?]
Granger had just finished work. Seeing the messages and learning of Thorne's return, he paused for a long moment before replying. [@Thorne Henderson, I'm free. See you tonight.]
Thorne: [Good.]
Moran: […]
Vesta was actually very curious to see how Thorne would respond to Moran's last question. But Thorne seemed to ignore it completely.
Her hand tightened on her phone as she stared at the screen. Just then, it buzzed with a private notification.
It was from Thorne. [Busy?]

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...
