Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 558

Charlene hesitated for a moment.

Gaylord just chuckled and said, “No worries. We’ll eat when we’re hungry. If you’re not in the mood for this, I’ll whip up something fresh later when you feel like it.”

Charlene offered a polite smile. “...Alright, thank you for going to the trouble.”

For a moment, the three of them fell into an awkward silence.

That was when Connie and Stewart noticed Charlene’s discomfort and quickly stepped in to rescue her.

Connie spoke up, “Mr. Young brought his guitar. Come on, let’s go listen to some music.”

Charlene followed Connie, leaving York and Gaylord exchanging a glance. Without saying anything, they turned and wandered back to the newly lit bonfire.

Vesta and the others hadn’t caught what Gaylord and York had said to Charlene, but seeing how things played out, Vesta paused, as if she’d picked up on something. Then she shrugged it off, thinking maybe she was reading too much into it.

Meanwhile, Moran’s friends also knew York, though not well enough to pay much attention—he was more of an acquaintance.

Still, one of them, after watching the exchange, pulled his gaze away and asked, “Who’s that girl? She’s gorgeous, no wonder even Mr. Watson—who barely ever talks to women—seems a little smitten.”

Leah’s expression soured immediately. “Smitten? Come on, don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way Mr. Watson would like her.”

But the truth was, Leah couldn’t accept the thought that someone as accomplished as York might actually be interested in Charlene. Besides, everyone considered Charlene and Stewart a done deal—why would York even get involved?

Not to mention, York wasn’t the type to swoop in right in front of Stewart. If he dared, Stewart would have already lost his cool.

As for Gaylord, it was even less likely. Everyone knew Gaylord only had eyes for her older sister.

What everyone else was thinking, Charlene had no idea.

The Mr. Young Connie mentioned was Stewart’s friend, a pretty decent guitarist. The group gathered around as Mr. Young strummed and sang.

Connie, ever the extrovert, started calling out song requests and eventually joined Mr. Young for a duet.
