Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 

As Charlene and Stewart walked into the restaurant, they saw the Hawkins and Spencer families approaching. Charlene maintained a mask of indifference on her face. 

Stewart muttered under his breath, “Talk about bad luck.” 

However, the Hawkins and Spencer families seemed thrilled to see Stewart. 

Henley grinned, “Mr. Ferguson, fancy meeting you here again.” 

Stewart offered a tepid smile, “Yeah, fancy that.” 

Henley chuckled, “Since we’ve bumped into each other, why not join us?” 

Henley had been planning to invite Stewart for a meal over the phone earlier, and now seizing the chance encounter, he didn’t want to let it slip. 

Stewart replied, “No, thank you. I’m on personal time right now. Maybe some other time.” 

“Well, if you insist, another time then.” 

Henley couldn’t press further after Stewart’s refusal. 

Nodding, Stewart turned to Charlene, “Let’s go.” 

Without giving the Hawkins and Spencer families another glance, Charlene nodded, and they both headed upstairs. 

As Charlene and Stewart walked away, Laverne frowned and said, “I heard from Vesta that Stewart has been rather lukewarm towards Charlene. With the PrimeStar project on the horizon, I hope his feelings don’t interfere with our potential collaboration.” 

Given Stewart’s cool demeanor towards them, it was a valid concern. 

Maureen spoke lightly, “The PrimeStar project bids are still a while away. Nothing’s set in stone; anything can happen.” 

Garfield added with a smile, “Exactly. Remember the hiccup with Vesta and Thorne’s situation due to Irma’s objections? And now, suddenly, there’s a breakthrough. So, let’s not lose hope; we still stand a chance.” 

The ‘breakthrough‘ Garfield referred to was Thorne’s decision to divorce Charlene. 

This news had cheered them up considerably. 

They, along with Vesta, were initially in the dark about the divorce. 

It was Moran who let it slip to Vesta, which was how they found out. 

They later found out that the processing of the divorce papers was taking longer than expected. Thorne didn’t want Vesta to worry unnecessarily, so he planned to surprise her with the news once everything was finalized 

With this in mind, Georgina smiled, “Thorne has been wanting a divorce for a while now. With Vesta getting hurt trying to save him, Thorne is now defying Irma’s wishes and pushing for the divorce. He’s truly committed to Vesta.” 

“Indeed. Vesta’s patience is finally paying off. Her happy days are just around the corner.” 

“Absolutely.”
