Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 736

Moran Albright and Granger Harden were both fully aware that Thorne and Charlene were scheduled to finalize their divorce that morning.

By ten-thirty, Moran couldn't contain his curiosity and tagged Thorne in their group chat: [Did everything go smoothly with the papers? Drinks at noon to celebrate?]

The moment the message popped up, Vesta and Granger both saw it.

Vesta actually held her breath.

Her family had been anxiously waiting for news since the crack of dawn. Over the past hour, they had relentlessly bombarded her with texts, demanding to know if the divorce was finally official.

They were all practically climbing the walls with impatience.

They wanted to be the very first to know the deed was done.

After all, Thorne and Charlene's previous attempts to split had failed so many times. This was the closest they had ever come to actually severing ties.

In truth, Vesta was even more anxious and desperate for a resolution than her pushy relatives.

Back when she believed she was vastly superior to Charlene in every way, and felt totally secure that Thorne would never give his wife a second glance after having her, she genuinely hadn't cared if the divorce took a little longer.

But...

Thinking about everything that had transpired over the past six months made her chest tighten with agonizing dread.

As long as the divorce went through, she and Thorne would finally—

When several minutes passed without a peep from Thorne, Moran grew confused and tagged him again: [What's going on? Don't tell me things went sideways again. Did Charlene pull some kind of stunt?]

Still, Thorne didn't reply.

Getting impatient, Moran tagged Vesta and Granger: [What about you two? Heard anything?]

Granger chimed in: [Nothing.]

Moran: [This morning.]

This morning...

Which meant Thorne and Charlene might not have made it to city hall to finalize the paperwork.

The sickening realization washed over Vesta like a bucket of ice water.

Moran and Granger, meanwhile, completely abandoned the topic of the divorce and started calling Thorne back-to-back, desperate to find out how Lloyd and Claudia were holding up.

It took several tries before Thorne finally picked up.

Learning that the older couple was currently fighting for their lives in the Emergency Room, the two men didn't waste another second. They hung up and immediately raced toward the hospital.

Snapping back to reality, Vesta also started blowing up Thorne's phone. After what felt like an eternity of endless ringing, he finally found a second to answer her call.
