Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 

No way, Mommy. Can you come with me, please? Sapphire Springs Resort is so far. It will be boring if I go alone.” 

Charlene paused. 

Oh well. 

“Alright.” 

PrimeStar had been developing a new app, and after dinner, Stewart called to discuss some technical issues with her. 

While Thorne and Jasmine chatted in the living room, Charlene stepped outside to take the call. It was half an hour later when Charlene finally wrapped up the conversation. 

Jasmine looked up at her, unable to resist commenting, “Mommy, you’ve been getting a lot of calls lately, talking for hours every evening. You never used to do that.” 

Overhearing that, Thorne looked up at her. 

Hearing Jasmine mention it made the housekeeper realize it was true. Before, Charlene rarely spent so much time on the phone, let alone have such lengthy conversations. 

Could Mrs. Henderson be having an affair? the housekeeper wondered. 

No, that seemed unlikely. Given Charlene’s feelings for Thome, that just couldn’t be it. 

“Just some work stuff,” Charlene replied briefly. “I’m going upstairs to handle a few things.” 

Jasmine said, “Okay.” 

Charlene booted up her computer to start working on the files Stewart had sent her. 

Seeing her so busy, Jasmine didn’t want to disturb her. After playing alone and taking a bath, she peeked in again. 

Charlene hadn’t neglected her professional skills in the past few years. Occasionally, when she had free time, she’d even design a few programs, sharing some basics with Jasmine when she came over, though Jasmine was only three or four and often fell asleep listening. 

As Jasmine looked on, Charlene didn’t mind her and kept working. 

Jasmine didn’t understand much but suddenly realized this work seemed familiar. Vesta had done something similar.

Jasmine watched for a bit before heading to bed. 

Charlene continued working until she finished, then shut down her computer. Checking the time, she realized it was already past 2 am 

She hadn’t gone back to the master bedroom, and Thorne hadn’t shown any reaction. Maybe her bunking in Jasmine’s room and cutting back on their time together was just what he wanted. 

The following day, Charlene didn’t wake up to make breakfast. 

Jasmine woke up. Seeing Charlene asleep beside her, she realized her mom had stayed with her through the night. 

Seeing Charlene still asleep, Jasmine quietly got up and left the room. 

Seeing Thorne, she yawned, “Morning, Dad.” 

Thorne responded with a simple “Hmm.” 

“Mommy’s still asleep.”
