Moran Albright's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, excused himself from Vesta Hawkins and the others, and told Thorne Henderson not to wait for him before walking away to take the call.
Only after Moran was out of earshot did Thorne speak. "Are you eating here too?"
"Yes," Vesta replied. "When did you get back?"
"Last night."
"Still swamped with work?"
The elevator arrived, and Thorne stepped in with them. "Yes."
Just then, a message came through on his phone. He gave Vesta a slight nod before replying to two texts. By the time he looked up, the elevator had reached the ground floor.
As they stepped out, Vesta asked, "Are you free tonight?"
"I have plans," Thorne said.
Vesta managed a smile. "Next time, then."
"Sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang again. "I have to get back to the office," he told Vesta. "Something came up."
"Okay," she said.
Thorne nodded a quick goodbye to Maureen Spencer and turned to leave.
Leah Spencer could be impulsive, but with Thorne present, she hadn't dared to say a word. Now, watching his retreating back, a pang of sadness hit her. "Thorne… he's so cold," she murmured.
It was the first time she had ever seen him act so distant with Vesta. So cold, in fact, that a stranger might assume they were mere acquaintances.
It was the first time for Maureen and the others as well. Thorne's detached demeanor made it feel as though he and Vesta were truly over.

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...
