By the time Charlene finished her work and finally came back to herself, she realized with a jolt that York was no longer in the spot he’d been before.
The days that followed blurred together as she worked around the clock, barely stopping for a breath. Only after several more days of exhaustion did she finally wrap up her tasks. She collapsed into bed and slept straight through for nearly twenty-four hours, waking up with her mind clearer, her body lighter, though her complexion was still noticeably paler than before she’d first entered the facility.
That day, she did little beyond sleep, hardly eating a thing. By evening, hunger finally crept in, and she decided to head to the cafeteria for a bite. On her way there, she happened to run into York, who was coming from the other dormitory wing.
He looked at her with a flicker of surprise. “I thought you’d already left the base,” he said.
Given the gravity of the recent events, he’d guessed when she might have arrived. Now that everything had been resolved perfectly, he assumed she would’ve completed her mission and left as soon as yesterday.
Charlene shook her head. “I still have a few things to handle. I’ll need to stay a little longer.”
The truth was, she should have left yesterday, but Kenton had asked for her help with some additional matters, so she’d postponed her departure.
York’s smile was gentle as he nodded, letting her know he understood. He could tell she was still a bit groggy—probably just now awake after sleeping a whole day and night.
He smiled but didn’t press for details. Instead, he asked, “Heading to dinner?”
“…Yeah.”
“Mind if I join you?”
York looked at her, his voice soft. “Alright.”
She was about to leave, but just as she turned to go, her eyes met his. For a split second, she paused. She saw something in his gaze—a flicker of longing, a reluctance to let her go.
She hesitated, dropped her eyes, and looked away, uncertain. After a brief pause, she murmured a quiet, “Goodbye,” then hurried off.
York watched her go, feeling the ache of that unspoken farewell.
He would be leaving the base himself in a few days for a new assignment, and it would be a while before he returned. By then, Charlene would likely have moved on from the base. Their next meeting—if it happened at all—wouldn’t be for another month, at least.

The readers' comments on the novel: Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne)
Chapters 480 and on are repeat from previous chapters. What's up with that? Time to stop reading this novel....
Thanks for the update. Keep them coming please!...
Any hope for Vesta being brain-dead?...
Thanks PINKK889 for the info. The same version is also on You tube except dubbed in English and titled “ I divorced my husband who cheated now begging me to come back” Enjoy...
Gosh, this is excruciating ! The slow pace made me leave this for over 3 months. Was just taking a peek and not much development. Btw they have now made this into a 3hr 40 min long drama.Available on daily motion under, the name, next chapter without you. But all the other fringe characters such as York Granger Gaylord are missing in the movie. Ending is very satisfying, practical and apt. She chooses to leave thorne and jasmine and be with Stewart. Vesta and family are inter national wanted Criminals. Not sure if they replicate the same on here. As this book is now on the app for more than 9 months, have a feeling it'll be another 6 to 9 months before this is completed!...
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?...
