Charlene and Thorne walked side by side out of the hospital room. Once they’d put some distance between themselves and the door, Charlene spoke first. “If you have something to say, now’s your chance.”
Thorne glanced over at her. “My grandmother’s condition still isn’t stable. I’d like to put off the divorce for a few more days.”
Charlene didn’t look at him, but his words didn’t come as a surprise.
After a brief pause, she said, “Alright.”
“Thank you.” As she was about to leave, Thorne added, “Is there anything you want? As a thank you, I’d like to help you with something, or grant you a wish—anything within my power.”
Charlene paused, her step faltering for just a moment, but she didn’t turn around. Her voice was calm as she replied, “No, there’s nothing. What I want isn’t something you can give.”
Realizing her words might be misunderstood—that he might think she was talking about his feelings for her—she quickly clarified, “And just so you know, that’s not what I meant.”
Thorne gave a small laugh, watching her profile. “How do you know what I thought you meant?”
Charlene had no idea what he’d read into her words. From his tone, though, she could tell he wasn’t upset.
Whatever he thought, she had nothing more to say. Without looking back, Charlene walked away.
Thorne watched her go. “So, I owe you a favor, then?”
She didn’t break stride. “Suit yourself.”

That evening, news spread quickly through both the Hawkins and Spencer families: Irma had woken up, and the divorce between Charlene and Thorne had been postponed once again.
Georgina Spencer was the first to comment: “Irma waking up is a good thing. Now we’re one step closer to that Ross girl divorcing Thorne. No matter how you look at it, this is progress.”
Leah Spencer and Rhoda, among others, felt the same. But Leah had been downcast for days since Granger Harden had rejected her in front of Charlene, so she kept her thoughts to herself.
Vesta Hawkins shared their opinion, though her feelings ran deeper. More than anyone, she longed for Charlene and Thorne’s marriage to end as soon as possible. But no matter how anxious she was, she had to be understanding when Thorne—because of Irma—kept postponing the divorce.
Objectively, she should’ve been happy that Irma was awake. But when she heard that Charlene would be visiting The Henderson Group the next day, her mood soured.
Charlene had only needed to showcase her skills once at The Henderson Group to win over not just Thorne, but the entire core development team. Now, with Charlene returning, if she impressed them again—and if Thorne found out—

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?...
