As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a knock at the door.
It was Moran and Granger.
Moran swung the door open, eyebrows shooting up at the crowd inside. “Whoa, didn’t expect this many people!”
This was his family’s restaurant, after all. He and Granger had dropped by for dinner, and when the manager mentioned Thorne was here, Moran figured he’d pop in and say hi. He definitely hadn’t expected so many familiar faces.
Suddenly, having dinner alone with just Granger didn’t sound so appealing. “Thorne, with a crowd this lively, you mind if Granger and I join you all?”
Thorne turned to the others. “Professor Mack, Mr. Ferguson, what do you think—?”
Professor Mack had just welcomed the Hawkins and Spencer families to join, so with Thorne’s friends arriving, he couldn’t very well say no. “Of course not, the more the merrier. Mr. Ferguson?”
Stewart grinned. “Mr. Harden and Mr. Albright are old acquaintances of mine. I don’t mind at all.”
He’d been a little annoyed when the Hawkins and Spencer folks joined in earlier, but now? The more, the better. He was half hoping the whole town would pile in at this point.
Leah, who’d been hoping to run into Granger for weeks, finally couldn’t help herself. She stood up, smiling. “Granger, why don’t you sit here by me?”
Granger ignored her, and he and Moran waved over a server to pull up a couple of chairs next to Thorne.
They’d barely settled in when another knock sounded at the door.
Dalton took his seat and asked, “So, what were we talking about?”
Professor Mack jumped in, quickly recapping the discussion.
Dalton nodded, then turned to Vesta. “Mr. Smith went out of his way to let Mr. Hawkins know about this,” he said, “so it’s clear how much he values Mr. Hawkins’ involvement.”
Vesta smiled warmly. “I’m honored to have such support from the professor. I’ll do my best to study that article he recommended and not let him down.”
Dalton felt genuinely happy for her, seeing how much Professor Mack and Mr. Smith appreciated Vesta. It made him admire her even more. He found himself lingering on her face a little longer than he meant to, and only looked away when he remembered Thorne was right there.
Of course, Vesta noticed Dalton’s attention, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased. But she also noticed Granger, sitting quietly, sipping his coffee and not meeting her gaze. He hadn’t said a word about the praise coming her way, and that faint frown creased her brow before she turned away.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Can't wait to read where Charlene will start another relationship... God for is she gets back with Thorne... She needs to be with York or Gaylord (to annoy vesta) or granger (to annoy Thorne)...
I know its ur story and u obviously have ur own plot line and all and have every right to build the story as u like but what writer provide isnt just entertainment, but they shape the narrative of young minds. So I would say that romanticing cheating is, or rather THORNE'S behaviour, wrong for all the reasons..give york a chance ..that will be way more satisfying...again all of this is just my point of view but if charlene and thorne get back together, its not the story im looking for...
Hey...please dont ever make Charlene and thorne get back together no matter what...he simply doesn't deserve it....no matter the reason or plot twist behind the way he treated his legally wedded wife....whether he actually slept with vesta or not....just his emotional cheating...not repecting his spouse....not caring enough to actually get to know the person his wife was....and actually distancing his child from her mother and encouraging her to bond with the mistress are all the biggest RED FLAGS... when a person enters a contract....he must uphold it no questions asked...its not like if ur partner isnt good enough, ur allowed to cheat..allowed to let a 3rd person in-between....if ur not satisfied with ur partner then u can get a divorce...whats the point of all the wealth, power and brilliance of mind when the ML cant even get his head around this simple fact...So, its fine it he regrets, but charlene shouldn't be with him in any case.....
Enough already. This novel is dragging slowly. Updated with 2 chapters only. REALLY!!! Whoever the author or authors of this novel why is there a delay in penning more chapters? Here’s my question. In reading the comments from others does their opinions matters and/or make a difference? Are comments being monitored? Or is it only a tool allowing readers to blow off steam?...
Long wait to just get an upload of a couple of chapters. Very little progress in the story if any at all! For heaven's sake the story is 453 chapters so far with nothing or little change from where the story began! Show commitment to us your readers and followers please!...
Hi..its my 1st ever time commenting on any story. But seriously....i dont mean to come as rude but are u seriously thinking about the stroy or losing ur grip on the plot and characters...not updating...no story development...no commitment towards ur readers...u just uploaded 2 chapters after god know how long and still nothing to give to the story..if u dont want to write or simply cant then please dont...
The updates are so slow that I forgot the story for some time and just remembered it and read 20 chapters. The chapters are short and the story development is like a snail. 451 chapters and Charlene still couldn't break her image in other's eyes or dealth some serious damage to Vesta and her trash father....
It would be better to say right away that there are 10 chap/month...
Just give us updates already...
We're stuck at this chapter for over 2wks now Very annoying Thorne and vesta having the tune of their lives while Charlene is stuck More annoying...
