Charlene, York, and Gaylord had all come prepared, so their side of the meadow was a feast for the eyes. Several picnic blankets were laid out, covered in baskets overflowing with gourmet ingredients.
Fresh salads, red wine, champagne, pastries, and signature drinks were all arranged artfully, creating a warm, inviting picnic spread that put everyone in a cheerful mood.
After everything was set up, York glanced at the steaks, lamb chops, and assortment of seafood he’d brought along especially for the occasion. He turned to Charlene and asked, “Do you like spicy food? This marbled lamb is something I had flown in last night from out of town. I’ve tried it before, and it’s top quality—”
Before York could finish, Gaylord strolled over and handed Charlene a drink, cutting him off mid-sentence. “This is a special drink I had made just for today,” he said, grinning. “It’s really good—want to try it?”
With the drink already offered, Charlene had no choice but to accept. “Thank you,” she replied politely.
Since York had just spoken to her, she couldn’t ignore him either. Turning back, she added, “I can handle spicy food, and I’m not picky.”
York smiled. “Great.”
With that, Charlene took a sip of the drink in her hand. The flavor surprised her—it was blueberry, just the way she liked it, with a smooth, bright taste that instantly lifted her spirits. “This is delicious,” she said, her eyes lighting up. “I really like it. Thank you.”
Having worked by Charlene’s side for a few months, Gaylord naturally understood her tastes better than most. He’d actually had this drink developed especially with her preferences in mind.
Seeing her enjoy it, his smile grew. “I’m glad you like it. I had them mix up a few different flavors—there’s raspberry, too. Want to try that one later?”
Charlene nodded, “Sure.”
As she looked up, she caught sight of Connie across the blankets, waggling her eyebrows and making exaggerated faces at her.
Charlene paused, momentarily speechless.
Connie tried to stifle her laughter, leaning in to whisper to Stewart, “Looks like I picked the perfect night to come along.”
Honestly, this little drama unfolding was even better than a meteor shower.

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?...
