Charlene didn't answer. What was there for them to talk about? Did he genuinely not understand, or was he pretending not to?
Just then, Jasmine pulled Charlene into a conversation, and Charlene focused her attention entirely on her daughter, ignoring Thorne. He didn't try to force another topic, but when the food arrived, he began placing a few choice pieces onto Charlene's plate.
She paused, then said coolly, "You don't have to. I can serve myself."
Thorne was also serving Jasmine, who didn't understand her mother's reaction. "Mom, Dad just wants to help. Let him."
Charlene was speechless.
Thorne smiled and placed another piece of meat in her bowl.
Just then, a waiter entered with another dish, leaving the door to their private room ajar. Maureen, Georgina, and their party happened to be walking past and witnessed the entire scene—the conversation, Thorne's attentiveness, all of it. They froze for a second, but no one in the room noticed them.
The waiter, however, did. Before he could say anything, Maureen regained her composure and ushered Georgina down the hall. Leah pursed her lips and followed with Rhoda.
Once they were in their own private room, Rhoda couldn't hold back. "I thought Thorne hated Charlene. But last time and just now, he seemed so nice to her. What's going on?"
Later that day, they recounted the entire incident to Vesta, including Thorne's attentiveness to Charlene.
The Spencers assumed she wouldn't care, but Leah couldn't help but complain, "If you ask me, Thorne is just too wrapped up in that kid's feelings. If he didn't have to consider her, he wouldn't have to force himself to play nice with Charlene."
"Exactly," Rhoda agreed.
Vesta listened, her gaze dropping as she remained silent.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Well cockroaches it seems you've reached your final destination at which your nasty colony will be destroyed! Way to go Stewart!!!...
Now ı want to know how Thorne will stay silent with her daughter there and people talking bad about her mother....
Oh god! It's getting super boring and dragging. Lost all the interest now. A warning to new readers, avoid reading this....
761 chapters and they still couldn't divorce...
Is the universe against the divorce now?...
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?...
