Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 468

The days ticked by, and it wasn’t just Stewart and York waiting for Charlene’s divorce—Granger was counting down, too.

Granger, in fact, knew the exact date: Thursday. That was when Charlene and Thorne were supposed to sign their divorce papers.

He’d been traveling for work a lot lately, hardly ever in town. But this week, he made a point of catching the red-eye back, arriving home in the early hours of Thursday morning. After a few hours' rest, sometime after ten, he tried to distract himself with work. But eventually, impatience got the better of him, and he dialed Moran Albright’s number.

“It’s been a while since I’ve caught up with you and Thorne,” Granger said, aiming for casual. “How about lunch today? Let’s invite Thorne too.”

Moran replied, “I’m free, but Thorne can’t make it. He’s overseas on business—left a few days ago and still hasn’t come back.”

A knot formed in Granger’s chest. “Thorne’s... out of the country?”

So, they hadn’t gone through with the divorce today after all?

Granger had kept his distance from Thorne and the rest lately. He’d called Moran partly to fish for news about the divorce. If it was finalized, maybe today would be his chance—

But things hadn’t gone as he’d hoped.

“So, any idea when Thorne’s coming back?” he pressed.

Moran, who was no longer as invested in the whole divorce saga as he’d been at the start, just shrugged it off. “No clue. You know how hectic he gets around this time every year—no telling how long he’ll be gone.”

Granger stared down at his phone, suddenly silent.

After hanging up, he looked at Charlene’s number in his contacts. He’d thought today might finally be the day he could call her. But now, it seemed he’d have to wait a little longer.
