Some time passed. Charlene finally looked away from the fading figures and began scrolling through her phone while slowly snacking. Just then, a young man approached her. "Hi, I was wondering if I could get your number?"
Charlene looked up. "Sorry, I don't think that's a good idea."
He hesitated. "Is it because you already have a boyfriend?"
Charlene didn't want to elaborate. She frowned, about to shut him down again when Thorne and Jasmine returned.
"Mom!" Jasmine cried out happily, running to her.
"Hi, sweetie," Charlene replied.
The young man saw Jasmine throw her arms around Charlene and then glanced at Thorne, whose striking features and commanding presence made it obvious he was no ordinary person. Moreover, the resemblance between him and Jasmine was undeniable.
Understanding dawned on his face. "My apologies," he stammered before quickly walking away.
"Mom, who was that man?" Jasmine asked, confused.
"Just a stranger," Charlene said.
"Oh."
Thorne observed the exchange without a word. After putting away the kite, he asked, "Beef stew for dinner?" The question was clearly directed at Charlene.
"That's fine," she replied coolly.
After tucking her in, he looked up at Charlene, who was standing just outside. "Aren't you going to get some rest?" Before she could answer, he added, "You should take a nap."
He then left the tent, giving her the space, and settled into a chair under the sun umbrella.
Charlene stood there for a moment, looking at him. As he met her gaze, he spoke before she could. "You should stay with her. If you leave and she wakes up alone, she'll be upset."
Charlene paused. He had guessed what she was thinking without her saying a word.
Just then, Jasmine murmured in her sleep, "Mommy…"
Charlene froze. A moment later, Jasmine's eyes fluttered open. She was still half-asleep, but she saw her mother and sleepily reached out her arms. "Mommy, stay with me."

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...
