Thorne's gaze fell on Gaylord's hand covering Charlene's. He simply lifted his teacup, took a sip with a faint smile, and said nothing.
Moran was speechless.
Then again, Thorne had never been in love with Charlene, and with their divorce on the horizon, it made sense he wouldn't care if another man made a move on her. Still, Moran was surprised to see Charlene was so in demand—first Stewart Ferguson, and now another suitor of such high caliber.
Given the friction between Charlene and Vesta, Gaylord had initially worried the meeting would be awkward. But he soon saw that Charlene and Thorne communicated remarkably well. In fact, Thorne was quite considerate, even refilling Charlene's teacup himself when Gaylord was distracted.
His attitude made it seem as if the animosity between Vesta and Charlene was a thing of the past. Yet, in their previous encounters, the two women had completely ignored each other, suggesting a deep-seated grudge that was far from resolved. Gaylord chalked it up to professionalism; as adults, both Thorne and Charlene were simply good at separating business from personal matters.
Their discussion finally wrapped up around five in the afternoon. Thorne glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. Why don't we all have dinner together?"
Charlene saw no need for that. She stood up. "I have other plans, perhaps next time. I'll follow up with Mr. Sanderson on the details of our collaboration."
"Alright."
They shook hands once more, and Charlene left with Gaylord.
Moran, who had been bored out of his mind and playing games on his phone, finally put it away. Watching Charlene's retreating figure, he suddenly remembered something. "Hey, didn't you two decide to put the divorce on hold for now? Is there a deadline for that?"
Thorne took a sip of water. "No."

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...
