Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 472

Jasmine Henderson was halfway through unwrapping the present Thorne Henderson had given her as she chatted with Charlene Ross upstairs.

Charlene listened, distracted, when her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was from Thorne.

[Something’s come up in Goldland. I need to head back tomorrow afternoon to deal with it. The divorce will have to be postponed another week.]

Charlene’s brow furrowed as she read the message. She quickly typed a reply.

[Can’t you wait until Monday morning to go back?]

Thorne responded almost immediately.

[I’ve tried. It’s not possible. Sorry.]

Charlene pressed her lips together, hesitating, then decided not to reply.

Maybe sensing she was annoyed, Thorne sent another message, trying to reassure her: [Even if I can’t make it back by next Friday, I promise I’ll be back before the following Monday. You have my word.]

With Thorne giving her a concrete timeline, Charlene felt a bit more at ease.

She put down her phone without replying again.

Thorne must have known she’d seen the message, and when she didn’t answer, he let it go and didn’t reach out again.

After chatting with Charlene for a while, Jasmine started to get sleepy, and soon drifted off.

Charlene tucked her in, then went to wash up.

She was exhausted after the long day. Once she’d showered, she climbed into bed and got ready to turn off the lights.

As soon as she settled in, Jasmine, perhaps sensing her mother’s presence, rolled over and snuggled into her arms, mumbling softly, “Mommy… Mommy…”

Thinking Jasmine was awake, Charlene murmured, “I’m here. Go back to sleep.”

But Jasmine didn’t answer, and when Charlene looked down, she realized Jasmine was still fast asleep.

Even so, Jasmine clung tightly to her, little fingers clutching Charlene’s shirt.

The next morning, Thorne arrived right on time to pick up Jasmine.

Jasmine was already dressed and had her tiny backpack ready.

When she heard Thorne had arrived, she grabbed Charlene’s hand and pulled her downstairs.

Helena and Vernon Ross both knew Thorne was waiting outside, but they pretended not to notice—neither greeting him nor inviting him in.
