Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 

Imma hadn’t seen Thorne, and it was getting under her skin, leaving Jasmine feeling pretty down in the dumps, too

But Charlene was the picture of calm amidst the storm, pouring Irma a cup of coffee with a serene expression, suggesting, Maybe he’s caught up in something urgent and can’t break away.” 

Irma was in a foul mood, calling it a night much earlier than usual

Jasmine tried calling Thorne several times, but it was like talking to a brick wall. She got no answer

The following morning dawned. When Charlene woke up, the bed beside her was empty. There was no sign of Jasmine anywhere

After getting ready for the day, Charlene left her room to find the place eerily quiet

Bored out of her mind because Thome was a noshow, Jasmine had someone take her to the city for excitement bright and early. And Irma? She caught a chill from the evening breeze the night before, ending up with a splitting headache in the wee hours, and had headed back to the Henderson Mansion before Charlene even stirred

Not wanting to disturb her rest, they didn’t even bother to inform Charlene

So, there was Charlene, the only guest in the huge Sapphire Springs Resort, except for the staff

wasn’t like Jasmine couldn’t have waited for Charlene to wake up to take her out for some fun. But Jasmine sneaking off without a word probably meant she got some news from Thorne’s end, planning to meet with him and Vesta, and was worried Charlene might object

The weather was dreary, with rain pouring down, but the hot spring under its protective cover offered a cozy refuge. There’s something special about soaking in the hot waters while reading a book and admiring the rainy landscape

Besides, Charlene enjoyed her solitude, which allowed her more time to herself. So, even with everyone gone, Charlene decided to stay put at Sapphire Springs Resort

It was Sunday afternoon. Charlene planned to have dinner before heading home and got a call from Irma. Charlene, I rang Thome in the morning, asking him to pick you up from Sapphire Springs Resort tonight. Did he get in touch?” 

Nope. Thorne was supposed to join them at Sapphire Springs Resort but had been MIA without a call

Jasmine hadn’t reached out, either, since she sneaked off the day before

But Charlene wasn’t about to bother Irma with this

But 

To keep things simple, she lied, Yes.” 

Feeling relieved, Irma didn’t press further after Charlene inquired about her health, and they ended the call

Charlene had dinner at Sapphire Springs Resort as the sun dipped below the horizon

Irma mentioned Thorne would come for her, but there she was, waiting until nearly nine with no sign of him

Sapphire Springs Resort was a good hour and a half from her home, and Charlene couldn’t wait longer. She arranged for a resort shuttle to take her back

Sleep was about to claim her on the ride home when her phone jolted her awake. It was Connie

Picking up, Charlene said, Connie?”
