Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 593

Both Thorne and Charlene had brought food. When Jasmine saw the pastries Charlene had made—a favorite she hadn't had in a long time—her face lit up. "Mom, you made these specially for me?!"

Charlene hadn't actually planned on it. Helena had insisted, and she'd complied simply to avoid the old woman's nagging. Seeing Jasmine's excitement, however, she didn't say anything.

Just then, Thorne placed two plates of pastries in front of Charlene. "The housekeeper mentioned you liked these, so I had her make some. Want one?"

One of Thorne's cooks made exceptional pastries, and a particular kind of cheese cake had a unique flavor she adored. It wasn't something you could buy in a store, and she hadn't tasted one since she'd moved out. The familiar sight of the food spread before her suddenly transported her back to the past, to the days she spent waiting at home for Thorne to return.

Charlene turned her head away. "Thank you," she said coolly. "I'll have some if I feel like it."

Thorne glanced at her but didn't press the issue.

After a snack, Jasmine spotted someone flying a kite and immediately wanted to do the same. She dragged Thorne off to buy one, and they returned a few minutes later, each holding one. As Charlene looked over, Thorne offered her the blue butterfly kite.

She instinctively refused. "No, thank you. I—"

Lost in thought, she was startled to find Thorne looking at her. As their eyes met, she was about to look away when he glanced at the kite she had set aside. "Not going to give it a try?"

"I'm not really interested," she replied flatly.

Thorne said nothing more, his gaze returning to Jasmine. The campground was large, and there were quite a few people around. Since they hadn't brought any staff, Thorne followed after Jasmine as she began to wander further away, keeping a watchful eye on her.

Charlene remained seated, her gaze fixed on the distant figures of the father and daughter.
