"I have something to take care of," Charlene said. "Whatever it is, can it wait until I get back?"
Gaylord was about to agree, but then he remembered that Charlene had no off-site meetings scheduled for today. She rarely left the office in the middle of the day for personal reasons. He'd been following the news of her divorce and knew it had been delayed because her ex was too busy. In a flash of insight, he realized why she was suddenly leaving.
He asked without thinking, "Are you… on your way to city hall?"
Charlene was surprised he had guessed correctly. She stopped, gave a quiet "Mmm," and then turned and left.
Watching her go, Gaylord felt a sudden urge to follow. He was genuinely curious about the man she had married. But after taking two steps, he stopped himself. Ever since she became aware of his feelings, Charlene had been avoiding him outside of work. If she found out he had followed her just to see who her ex-husband was, she would definitely be angry. In the end, he decided against it. Once Charlene was out of sight, he turned and went back to his desk.
Charlene arrived at city hall and waited for about fifteen minutes before Thorne rushed in.
"Sorry, the meeting ran about ten minutes longer than expected. I'm late."
Seeing his harried expression, Charlene could tell he was truly busy. She didn't comment on it, simply saying, "Let's go get the paperwork done."
Over the next two days, Charlene was swamped with work. On Thursday, she had another meeting at The Henderson Group. This time, Thorne didn't drop in to observe. However, as Charlene and Mr. Windsor were heading out for lunch, they saw Thorne and Vesta in the lobby. Vesta was holding Thorne's arm, and they were leaning close together, smiling and chatting with someone.
Mr. Windsor and the others saw them and couldn't help but remark with a smile, "Mr. Henderson and Ms. Hawkins are as close as ever."
Since Thorne's group seemed to be in a conversation, they didn't go over to interrupt. Vesta, however, spotted Charlene. Her gaze was as cold and dismissive as always. For the past few days, she and Thorne had been inseparable, and he continued to treat her wonderfully. He had even gone to city hall with Charlene again, all for her sake. This proved that even if Thorne had developed some feelings for Charlene, his love for Vesta was stronger. He couldn't live without her. Charlene's existence was no threat to her place in his heart.
Charlene noticed Vesta's stare but ignored it. Just then, Thorne saw her too. But before he could react, Charlene had already shifted her gaze away indifferently and left with Mr. Windsor and the others.

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...
