Sure enough, when Charlene went downstairs, she found Thorne in the living room. Vernon and Helena were also awake and chatting with him. Hearing her footsteps, all three of them looked up.
"Charlene, you're up," Vernon said. "Breakfast is ready. You should eat before you go."
Charlene nodded. "Okay."
Thorne stood. "I need to step outside to reply to a work message. We can talk again next time."
"Of course," Vernon replied quickly.
Thorne gave Helena a polite nod, then walked out the front door. Seeing Vernon's respectful manners and her grandmother's slightly thawed but still reserved attitude toward Thorne, Charlene understood exactly why they had invited him in.
It was only because he had been a great help when her grandmother fell ill. Since Thorne was going to marry Vesta, the relationship between their families could never be truly close, no matter how cordial it appeared.
After a quick breakfast and a goodbye to her grandparents, Charlene got into Thorne's car with Jasmine, and they drove off.
Not long after they set off, Thorne sent her a text. Before she could react, he explained, "It's a list of activities on the island. See if there's anything you'd like to do."
The journey was long. After more than an hour in the car, they boarded a private speedboat, finally arriving at the island close to noon. Thorne hadn't been exaggerating when he said it was deserted. Besides the three of them, the only other people were the island's staff.
After lunch, Jasmine changed into her beach clothes, eager to start exploring. She grabbed a small bucket and, within minutes of stepping outside, had collected a pile of colorful shells. Charlene stayed by her side while Thorne followed a short distance behind.
An hour later, the staff gave them the all-clear for the submarine dive. They changed their clothes and prepared to head out. The vessel was a small, private submarine, accommodating only five or six people, with a fully transparent hull that offered a 360-degree view of the ocean floor.
Charlene had been diving before, but this was her first time in a sealed submarine, and the experience was completely different. Once inside, Jasmine was thrilled to learn she could operate a mechanical claw to catch fish. As they descended, she was mesmerized by the schools of colorful fish swimming past and eagerly began practicing with the controls. After several failed attempts, Thorne leaned over, gently placing his hand over hers to guide her.

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...
