As they walked to her car, Thorne broke the silence. "Are you free on Monday morning?"
Charlene was about to say yes when he continued, "Minnie's school is having a parent-teacher conference. They require both parents to be there."
She paused. "Alright." Then she added, "I can take the afternoon off as well."
"I have to be in Havencrest at one."
Charlene frowned. "Can't you reschedule?"
"I'm sorry," Thorne said.
Her lips tightened. Without another word, she turned and got into her car.
Thorne watched her. "Drive sa—"
Before he could finish, she slammed the car door shut, started the engine, and sped away.
Thorne watched her car disappear down the road, a faint smile playing on his lips, before turning back into the house.
It was late, and Irma had already gone to bed, but Claudia and Tiffany were still in the living room. Thorne gave them a nod and said he had to make a call before heading upstairs.
Claudia watched him go, looking as if she wanted to stop him, but ultimately she said nothing.
"What is it?" Tiffany asked.
"Yeah, but he just dropped me off. He has to go to a business lunch."
Before Charlene could respond, Jasmine asked again, "Where are you, Mommy? When are you coming back?"
"I just left the hospital. I'm on my way back now, so just wait—"
"What?" Jasmine gasped, her voice filled with concern. "You were at the hospital? Are you sick, Mommy?"
"No, sweetie," Charlene reassured her. "I was visiting your grandma."
They spoke for a few more moments before hanging up. Thorne, who had overheard the mention of the hospital, seemed to understand why she was there. After Jasmine ended the call, he simply gave his daughter a few instructions before getting in his car and driving away.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Well cockroaches it seems you've reached your final destination at which your nasty colony will be destroyed! Way to go Stewart!!!...
Now ı want to know how Thorne will stay silent with her daughter there and people talking bad about her mother....
Oh god! It's getting super boring and dragging. Lost all the interest now. A warning to new readers, avoid reading this....
761 chapters and they still couldn't divorce...
Is the universe against the divorce now?...
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?...
