Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 709

The next morning, both Charlene and Thorne arrived at city hall right on schedule.

The paperwork was processed without a hitch.

Once the formalities were completed, Charlene simply got into her car and drove straight to the office.

News of their morning trip to city hall quickly reached Moran and Granger.

"It's about time," Moran remarked. "I never saw the point of them putting the divorce on hold anyway. They both clearly have other people in their lives now. It was always going to happen; dragging it out was pointless. As for Jasmine, I honestly think Charlene is the problem. If she really loved her daughter, she'd put the past behind her—especially since she's found her own happiness—and let Jasmine have a peaceful relationship with Vesta. Wouldn't that be best for the kid?"

Of course, Charlene and Stewart Ferguson weren't actually dating, but Granger didn't voice that detail.

Hearing Moran blame Charlene, Granger frowned. "Jasmine is her flesh and blood. Even if she... has moved on from Thorne and found her own happiness, watching her own child bond with the woman who destroyed her life is a tough pill to swallow. Put yourself in her shoes. I doubt you'd be that magnanimous either."

Back when Granger couldn't stand Charlene, he used to think Jasmine's affection for Vesta was perfectly natural. Vesta was elegant, generous, and adored the kid. Why wouldn't Jasmine be drawn to her?

It was only after he forced himself to look at it from Charlene's perspective that he realized Jasmine's love for Vesta was the most brutal, agonizing betrayal a mother could experience.

Anyone else in the world could be close to Vesta, but Jasmine shouldn't be.

But Jasmine wasn't his child, and Thorne clearly permitted the bond. Furthermore, Vesta truly was wonderful to the girl. Since Thorne and Vesta were inevitably going to get married, Vesta would become a permanent fixture in Jasmine's life—likely spending more time with her than Charlene ever would. Would it really be right for Granger to advise Thorne to keep them apart?

Moran blinked, clearly taken aback by Granger's defense.

Thinking it over, if his own daughter started cozying up to the man his wife had cheated on him with, he'd probably lose his mind. Finding the grace to just 'let it go' would be near impossible.

Still...
