Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 726

Despite her denial, Jasmine pressed her little lips into a tight line the moment the words left her mouth.

Seeing this, Latonia was just about to say something comforting when Jasmine's phone suddenly rang.

Jasmine glanced at the screen. The moment she saw Charlene's name, she froze. She reached out to answer it, then quickly turned her face away, pulling her hand back.

Watching the entire exchange, Latonia immediately understood that Jasmine's bad mood today had everything to do with Charlene.

Latonia had seen exactly how clingy Jasmine had been with Charlene lately.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she was certain Jasmine wouldn't actually be able to ignore Charlene's call for long. Smiling softly, Latonia didn't push the issue. She simply said, "I'll go downstairs and warm up some milk for you."

Once Latonia left, Jasmine stared at the ringing phone. She knew that if she didn't pick up soon, the call would drop.

She turned her attention back to the screen and finally reached out.

But right at that second, the call automatically disconnected.

Panic seized Jasmine's chest. She stared at the phone in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't resist picking it up.

She waited for a little while, but Charlene didn't call back.

Pouting, Jasmine clutched the phone with both hands. After another agonizing moment, she took the initiative to call Charlene back.

The line connected almost instantly. "Minnie, did you just finish your shower?"

"Mhm." Even though Charlene had picked up, Jasmine still felt a pang of lingering sadness. Her voice was slightly subdued as she asked, "Mom, how come you only called once and didn't call back?"

If she hadn't called back, would her mom have just not bothered to call her again today?

Jasmine waited at home for over half an hour before Charlene arrived.

She arrived just as Thorne was walking through the door. Seeing her, he paused. "You're back?"

Jasmine had just finished packing a few things and was coming down the stairs. "Mom, you're here?"

Thorne looked at the backpack Jasmine was wearing, then at Charlene, who clearly had no intention of going upstairs. He realized she was just here to pick Jasmine up.

Charlene didn't waste any words on Thorne. She simply looked at Jasmine. "Let's go."

Jasmine looked up at Thorne. "Are you coming with us, Dad?"

Thorne still didn't entirely understand why Charlene was suddenly taking Jasmine out this late in the evening, but judging by Charlene's expression, there didn't seem to be any sort of family emergency. He tilted his head toward his daughter. "Dad has a video conference in a little bit, so I won't be joining you tonight."
