After Jasmine Henderson had stayed with the Ross family for three days, her phone rang one evening while Charlene Ross was in the bedroom, towel-drying her hair.
Glancing at the caller ID, Jasmine’s face lit up. She turned to Charlene, excitement in her voice. “Mom, it’s Dad!”
Charlene just murmured an acknowledgment, and Jasmine quickly answered, putting the call on speaker. “Dad!”
Thorne Henderson’s voice came through, warm and familiar. “Have you had dinner yet?”
“Yeah, I have!” Jasmine replied cheerfully.
After a bit of small talk, Thorne finally got to the point. “Remember, tomorrow we’re going out with Ms. Hawkins, just like we planned. I’ll be sending someone to pick you up soon.”
The days Jasmine spent with the Ross family had been lively and delightful. Even though Charlene was busy with work and they didn’t get to spend as much time together as Jasmine had hoped, she still felt truly happy.
She wasn’t quite ready to leave. Caught off guard by her father’s call, she started to protest. “Dad, I don’t—”
But she stopped herself, as if something had suddenly occurred to her. Her voice grew quieter, tinged with reluctance. “Okay… But I want you to come get me yourself.”
Thorne, ever indulgent when it came to his daughter, just laughed. “Alright, alright, I’ll come pick you up myself.”
When the call ended, Jasmine walked over, wrapping her arms around Charlene’s arm. “Mom, I don’t want to leave you…”
Earlier, when Thorne had said he’d send someone, she’d instinctively refused. If Charlene guessed right, Jasmine had changed her mind because she didn’t want to let Vesta Hawkins down.
She might not want to leave, but that didn’t stop her from agreeing to go, just to keep her promise to Vesta.
Charlene just stroked her hair gently, her voice soft. “Come on, pack your things. Your dad will be here soon.”
Jasmine pouted, clinging to Charlene’s arm. “Mom, I already told you—I brought so much stuff this time because I wanted to leave it here. That way, when I come back for summer vacation, I won’t have to pack again! I haven’t even been here that long and you’ve already forgotten?”
Charlene hadn’t forgotten.
But when Jasmine had brought it up a couple of days ago after she first arrived, Charlene hadn’t agreed.
After all, by the time summer rolled around, she and Thorne would likely be officially divorced.

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...
