The car smoothly rolled away from the facility.
They chatted during the drive, and as they entered city limits, York suggested, "Grab a bite later?"
"No thanks," Charlene declined firmly. "I want to have dinner at home with my family."
It was the answer he expected.
York knew not to push his luck and didn't insist.
After York was dropped off, Charlene finally pulled her phone out of her bag and turned it on.
A flood of missed calls popped up, the vast majority from Jasmine.
She had been so frantically managing Dr. Wagner's tasks on the way to the Base that she'd forgotten to tell Jasmine she was going on a "business trip."
Still, when Jasmine couldn't reach her, she undoubtedly asked the Ross family for updates, so there wasn't much cause for worry.
Even so, seeing all the notifications, Charlene quickly sent a text letting her know she was done with work.
The message had barely gone through when her phone rang. "Mom, you're finally back!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Yes."
"I missed you so much when I couldn't reach you! Have you eaten? Let's go out for dinner, okay?"
But Charlene declined.
"I just got back, so I want to stay home with Great-Grandma Helena tonight. Let's eat out next time."
"Then I'll go eat at Great-Grandma's place too!" Jasmine declared.
"Alright. Come over," Charlene agreed.
The Ross household was already preparing extra dishes to welcome Charlene back. When they heard Jasmine was joining, Helena and Aunt Maisie exchanged a brief, stiff look.
Jasmine was just a child. They didn't really blame her for cozying up to Vesta.

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...
