After dinner, Jasmine announced she wanted to head back early to prepare a few things, telling them to follow ten minutes later.
It was clear she had a lot she wanted to share with her mother.
Seeing her so eager and happy, both Charlene and Thorne agreed.
Once Jasmine left with the driver, the private dining room was left with just Charlene and Thorne.
The room fell utterly silent.
They exchanged a brief glance before Charlene pulled out her phone, lowering her head to mind her own business.
Thorne didn’t touch his phone. He simply sat there, his gaze resting on her, though it was impossible to tell exactly what he was thinking.
Charlene noticed his stare, but since he didn't speak, she kept her mouth shut.
She was scrolling through an AI research forum, reading summaries of the latest industry papers.
It was supposed to be a quick distraction, but she quickly became engrossed. By the time she finally snapped out of it, twenty minutes had slipped by.
She blinked, her head snapping up.
Thorne had clearly noticed the ten-minute mark passing long ago. Seeing her sudden realization, a faint smile touched his lips. "Finished reading?"
"Yeah," Charlene murmured.
She didn’t bother asking why he hadn't interrupted her. Slipping her phone back into her purse, she stood up.
Thorne opened the door for her. Charlene paused mid-step. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it," he replied.
They stepped out of the room and rode the elevator down side by side, the silence stretching between them the entire way.
Downstairs, Thorne opened the passenger door for her. Only after she was settled did he round the hood and climb into the driver's seat.
Moments later, Thorne’s car pulled out of the restaurant's parking lot.
As soon as they left, another car quietly tailed them.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
761 chapters and they still couldn't divorce...
Is the universe against the divorce now?...
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!...
