Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 678

Granger didn't respond.

Neither did Vesta.

Moran had thought his little scoop would get some reactions, but after a long silence, he couldn't help himself.

He typed: [Hello? Anyone home?]

Granger finally replied: [In a meeting.]

A moment later, Vesta followed suit: [Busy.]

Moran: [...]

Then, Thorne finally appeared: [Swamped.]

Moran: [...]

[Everyone's that busy?]

Thorne: [Yep. Talk later.]

With that, Thorne went silent again. Granger really was busy, so he didn't say anything more either.

Vesta saw Thorne's brief appearance and disappearance. She didn't type another word, but she found herself staring at the screen, lost in thought. A couple of days ago, she had arranged for Coy to bring Thorne to a dinner without his knowledge, hoping to ambush him. She'd made a move in the car, trying to kiss him, but he had rejected her. When she tried to contact him the next day, he was unreachable. Since then, she hadn't tried to contact him again. It wasn't that she was embarrassed, but she knew she couldn't appear too desperate.

"Vesta?"

In their minds, there was only one possible reason—he was still upset about the incident with Leah Spencer.

Rhoda and Leah's faces instantly darkened. Leah, biting her lip with tears welling in her eyes, turned and ran upstairs.

Frankly, Henley and Maureen were shocked that Granger would hold such a grudge over Leah. They had assumed that, for Vesta's sake, he would still extend an invitation. Apparently not. Then again, if he had invited them, Leah would have probably insisted on going.

Laverne Hawkins sighed. "It seems we all need to be more careful. We can't even mention Leah's name in front of him anymore."

Rhoda's expression was grim, but she knew her daughter was at fault, so she said nothing.

Vesta knew the truth. Granger's decision had nothing to do with Leah. He was using it as an excuse to draw a line in the sand between him and her.
