Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 527

With Stewart’s help, things had gone surprisingly smoothly even without a laptop—at least until that afternoon, when something urgent cropped up at The Henderson Group and Charlene had to step in right away. That was when the lack of a computer became a real headache.

Staring at the files The Henderson Group had just sent to her phone, Charlene couldn’t help but regret turning down Thorne’s offer to bring her laptop earlier that morning.

But with the situation so urgent, there was no time to dwell on it.

She hurried upstairs, pausing in front of Thorne’s study. After a couple seconds’ hesitation, she raised her hand and knocked.

“Come in,” Thorne called.

He was at his desktop, busy as ever, and looked up just as Charlene opened the door. He didn’t seem the least bit surprised to see her. In fact, before she could even say a word, he asked, “Need the computer?”

Standing just inside the doorway, Charlene nodded. “…Yes.”

Thorne smiled, nudged the laptop sitting on his desk toward her, and gestured for her to come take it.

She walked in, keeping her eyes down, took the laptop from his desk, and said a quiet, “Thank you.”

Thorne just smiled and said nothing.

Without another word, Charlene turned and left. As she stepped out, she heard him say “Carry on” to someone on his call, and realized he’d been in a meeting the whole time.

Charlene took the laptop back to Jasmine’s room and got to work.

Jasmine, hoping for some playtime with her mom, quickly realized Charlene was so engrossed in work she barely noticed anything around her. Disappointed, Jasmine hugged her pillow and sighed.

It was just then that Thorne stopped by. Jasmine, still clutching her pillow, couldn’t help but pout, “Dad, Mom’s so busy…”

Thorne just grunted in sympathy and walked into the room, grabbing a chair and settling in beside Charlene at her makeshift desk.

Charlene barely noticed his arrival. Only when she heard the chair scrape the floor did she glance over and see Thorne next to her. She didn’t say anything, just turned back to her work.
