She was always saying how busy she was, how she simply didn’t have the time.
But no matter how busy you are, you can always spare a minute for a phone call, right?
Yet whenever Jasmine called her, she rarely called back. As for her actually calling Jasmine first—that was even rarer.
It felt as if, in her mother’s eyes, everything else in the world was more important than her.
The more Jasmine thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and tears streamed silently down her cheeks.
Seeing Jasmine like this, Charlene hadn’t even found the words to comfort her before Thorne stepped in. He gently wiped away her tears and said, “Your mom really is swamped with work right now, but next year, things should calm down for her. After that, she’ll probably have more time.”
Jasmine was still just a child, and Thorne’s soothing words eased her hurt a little. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, eyes shining with hope as she looked at Charlene. “Really? Next year, will Mom really have more time for me?”
Jasmine was, after all, the daughter Charlene had carried for nine months and brought into this world. Even though she’d given up custody, Charlene still wanted the best for her.
Staring into Jasmine’s hopeful eyes, Charlene couldn’t bring herself to shatter that fragile expectation—not right now.
But Thorne’s promise, that she’d be less busy next year, wasn’t something Charlene could give so lightly.
“My projects will probably be wrapped up by the end of this year,” Charlene said carefully, “but next year, there might be other things I have to take care of. So… I can’t promise that I’ll definitely have more free time.”
It wasn’t what Jasmine wanted to hear, not really. But having caught that flicker of guilt on Charlene’s face, Jasmine knew her mom still cared about her.
That understanding was enough. Her mood brightened.
She slid off Thorne’s lap and ran over to throw her arms around Charlene. “That’s okay. But when you do have time, you have to answer my calls, okay?”
Charlene hesitated, glancing at Thorne.

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?...
