Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 384

The next morning, Thorne Henderson, Jasmine Henderson, and Vesta Hawkins arrived early at the sports arena where Jasmine's competition was set to take place.

Shortly after, Granger Harden and Daisy joined them. Jasmine waved when she spotted them. "Granger, Daisy, glad you could make it!"

Daisy approached Jasmine with a reassuring smile and shook her hand. "Ready for the big game, Minnie? You nervous at all?"

Jasmine was calm and collected, shaking her head. "Nah, not really."

Granger had other pressing matters to attend to. He was only there to drop Daisy off.

Thorne, noticing Granger’s urgency, said, "Don’t worry, I’ll look after Daisy. You go take care of your business."

Granger nodded. "Thanks, I’ll catch up with you all for lunch."

"Sounds good."

Their friendship seemed as solid as ever, but Vesta couldn't help but wonder...

She observed them quietly. If Thorne knew about Granger's feelings for Charlene Ross, would they still be this close?

Granger noticed Vesta’s gaze and gave her a slight nod, but didn't speak. He turned and left, leaving Vesta with a wry smile. Ever since Granger took a liking to Charlene, he’d grown noticeably distant from her.

Meanwhile, across town, Charlene was at home when she received a call from Stewart Ferguson. "Hey, my folks and I are heading out for lunch. They haven’t seen you in a while and have been asking about you. Would you like to join us?"

Charlene hadn’t seen Stewart's parents, Hector and Darleen Ferguson, in quite some time so she agreed. As lunchtime approached, she drove over to the restaurant.

When she arrived, Stewart and his parents were just getting there too. Darleen greeted her warmly, holding Charlene's hand. "It’s been too long, Charlene. You look wonderful as ever."

As they chatted, Moran Albright pulled up and paused when he saw Charlene with Stewart and his parents. He seemed surprised, but Charlene’s smile faded slightly and she quickly looked away.
