At the sound of Leah’s words, Vesta’s hand froze midair, the spoonful of nourishing soup hovering just inches from her lips.
She quickly composed herself, masking her reaction so well that no one else at the table seemed to notice anything amiss.
Henley looked over. “Vesta, is Thorne back in the country?”
Vesta’s lashes fluttered almost imperceptibly.
How could she admit she had no idea Thorne had returned? He hadn’t mentioned a word to her. Earlier today, she’d tried calling him several times, but he never picked up. She’d simply assumed he was busy with work.
Before she could answer, Henley continued with a smile, “We really owe Thorne for what happened last time. I’ve been meaning to invite him over for dinner, but you said he was on a business trip abroad, so your father decided to wait. Now that he’s back, could you ask him when he might be free to join us?”
Katie chimed in, nodding. “Absolutely, Thorne should come over for dinner soon.”
Vesta forced a smile. “Sure, I’ll talk to Thorne and let you know later.”
With that, the conversation drifted to other topics.
As for what Leah had mentioned earlier about Thorne going out with Charlene, the rest of the Spencers and Hawkinses didn’t give it a second thought.
They all assumed Thorne was still the same as ever—indifferent to Charlene, with absolutely no interest in her. It never even crossed their minds that anything could change between the two. Hearing that Thorne and Charlene had gone out together, they just naturally assumed it was because of Jasmine, and that Thorne must have already told Vesta about it.
Vesta understood their assumptions all too well.
She used to think the same way herself, which was why she’d never paid much attention to Charlene.
But now—
She stared blankly at her half-finished soup, unable to taste a thing. Setting the bowl aside, she stood up. “I’m going upstairs for a bit.”
Maureen noticed the pallor on Vesta’s face as she came in. She’d specially arranged for a nourishing dessert to be prepared, yet Vesta had barely touched it. “Vesta, why don’t you have a little more?”
Vesta shook her head. “I can’t eat any more.”
Without another word, she turned and climbed the stairs.

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?...
