Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 618

Thorne's reply arrived quickly: [Okay.]

But that was his only message. Three or four more days passed, and Charlene still hadn't received a call from Thorne to schedule their appointment at City Hall.

It had been over a week since Thorne returned to the country, yet he had made no move to finalize the divorce. Both the Hawkins family and the Spencers were aware of this. They also knew that Thorne had barely seen Vesta all week. If he were swamped with work, they could have understood. But from what they gathered, Thorne's week hadn't been particularly busy at all.

Vesta had told them that Thorne's attitude toward Charlene began to shift after he learned about her professional skills. They now suspected he had developed some feelings for her, making him hesitant to let her go. Despite this, the Hawkins and Spencers still believed his feelings for Vesta ran deeper. But now, as the days ticked by, Thorne was neither finalizing the divorce nor spending time with Vesta. His indecisiveness was unsettling. Could it be that Charlene was now important enough to rival Vesta in his heart?

Leah couldn't accept it. "Impossible!" she declared. "How could Charlene ever compare to my sister? There's no way he would choose Charlene over her!"

The others felt the same. While Charlene was talented in the AI field, Vesta excelled not only there but in many other areas as well. She was a captivating woman; how could Charlene possibly compete?

And yet, the facts were undeniable: Thorne was dragging his feet on the divorce and seeing less of Vesta.

Maureen spoke calmly. "Let's just wait and see."

"Exactly," Leah chimed in. "I'm sure once he thinks it through, he'll choose my sister. Who does Charlene think she is? She's nothing compared to her!"

...

Stewart was also aware that Thorne hadn't made time to finalize the divorce.

Vesta clenched her fists, her jaw tight, saying nothing.

...

Later that day, Charlene sent another message to Thorne, urging him to meet her at City Hall.

He didn't reply until noon the next day. This time, he finally agreed.

[Okay.]
