Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 710

By the time they wrapped up business, the sky outside had turned dark. Andie suggested they all grab dinner together.

"Apologies, I have pressing matters to attend to. Take a raincheck," Thorne declined.

Andie chuckled knowingly. "Pressing matters? Don't tell me you're rushing off to have dinner with Ms. Hawkins?"

Thorne paused, making no effort to deny it.

Seeing his silence, Andie took it as an absolute confirmation.

"Didn't you say she was mostly recovered days ago? You're still treating her like fragile glass, huh? Having to be by her side for every single meal—"

Andie's gaze flicked to Charlene, and he instantly choked on his words. Panic flashed in his eyes as he hurriedly backpedaled. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I totally forgot that you guys—"

He knew perfectly well about the tangled history between Charlene and Thorne. But over the last few weeks of endless meetings, the two of them operated with such clinical professionalism that he genuinely forgot they had any personal connection outside the boardroom.

Charlene knew Andie meant no harm.

She also understood the unsaid implications of his joke.

Her expression didn't so much as ripple. "It's fine."

Gaylord watched the exchange with a perplexed frown, completely unable to fathom why Andie had suddenly started apologizing to Charlene.

He couldn't connect the dots, but assuming it wasn't a major issue, he didn't dwell on it.

A heavy, awkward silence blanketed the room.

Thorne was the one to finally break it. His face an impassive mask, he looked at Charlene and said, "Well... next time, then. I'll take my leave."

Charlene gave a silent nod.

Andie stood there, utterly bewildered.

Looking at this level of rigid, polite detachment, who on earth would ever believe these two used to be married?

With Thorne gone, Andie, Charlene, and Gaylord headed out to eat on their own.
