Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 620

Just then, her phone buzzed. It was Moran again.

Annoyed at being ignored, he tagged Thorne in the group chat once more: [@Thorne You there?]

This time, Thorne finally responded: [What's up?]

Moran: [...]

Seeing that Thorne had no intention of answering his first question, Moran assumed he just didn't want to talk about it. He figured Thorne was probably frustrated himself. After all, he'd always been eager to get divorced, but something always seemed to get in the way after each cooling-off period. Deciding not to press the issue, Moran changed the subject.

He asked: [Still busy these days? Want to hang out this weekend?]

Vesta's breath caught. A moment later, Thorne replied to Moran: [Can't. I have plans this Saturday and Sunday.]

Moran immediately shot back: [What plans?]

Thorne didn't answer.

Moran: [ What's that supposed to mean?]

Still getting no reply, Moran tagged Vesta: [@Vesta Spill it. Do you two have some big plans this weekend? Is that why you can't include me and Granger?]

Vesta didn't respond. Staring at Thorne's last message, she clutched her phone and, after a moment of hesitation, sent him a private message: [I saw the messages in the group. Are you really busy all weekend? Is it something important? I wanted to talk about something. Can we meet tonight?]

She waited, but a long time passed with no reply.

Moran's mood finally improved slightly, and the group chat fell silent.

Vesta put her phone down, trying to focus on work, but then it buzzed again. It was a message from Thorne.

[Sorry, I have something tonight.]

Vesta's eyes darkened as she read his reply. He didn't ask what she wanted to talk about. No further messages came. He sounded so cold, so distant.

She gripped her phone tightly. After taking a deep breath to compose herself, she typed back: [Okay, next time then.]

Seeing her troubled expression, Rhoda tried to offer some comfort. "Vesta, I'm sure Thorne still cares about you deeply. If you just take the initiative and reach out to him more often, things will go back to the way they were in no time."
