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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Stewart and Charlene will the best match, both power players!...
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...
