Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 687

In the eyes of the Ross family, Thorne was now Jasmine's father. Since he had helped find a doctor for Grandma Helena, the family felt they owed him a deep debt of gratitude, and they all treated him with a polite warmth. Still, his presence made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little stiff.

Charlene barely spoke during the meal, but Jasmine was thrilled because her mother had made many of her favorite dishes. As for Thorne, Charlene hadn't known he was coming, but she still showed her hospitality by quickly preparing a couple of dishes she knew he liked.

He seemed to notice. After taking his seat, he looked at Charlene and said simply, “Thank you.”

“It's nothing,” she replied, her tone neutral.

Sensing her reluctance to engage, Vernon smoothly redirected the conversation, and Thorne turned to chat with him instead.

A few moments later, just as Thorne and Vernon were deep in conversation, Charlene's phone buzzed. It was a call from York Watson.

Charlene paused, and before she could fully register the caller, she noticed Thorne glance in her direction. Avoiding his gaze, she picked up her phone and stood. “Excuse me, I need to take this,” she said to the others.

She walked a short distance away before answering. “Hello.”

York's voice was warm on the other end. “Merry Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas to you too,” Charlene replied.

“Are you free later?” he asked. “Want to go for a walk?”

She had only answered out of respect for their friendship, but she had no intention of accepting his invitation. “I'm sorry, I can't. I'm spending the evening with my daughter.”

It was the answer he'd expected. After a brief pause, York simply chuckled. “Alright, I understand.” He then asked, “Have you eaten?”

“We're eating now.”

“Okay, I won't keep you then. I'll call you later.”
