Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 576

That afternoon, when Charlene arrived home, Jasmine was already there, having just gotten back from school. As Charlene stepped through the door, she heard Jasmine on the phone. The little girl's face lit up. "Mommy!"

After a quick exchange with the person on the other end, Jasmine ran over, holding out the phone. "Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to you."

Charlene sighed and took the phone. "Hello?"

"Happy birthday."

She was silent for a couple of seconds before replying, "Thank you."

This was the moment she should have mentioned his extravagant gift, but the words wouldn't come. Thorne, for his part, didn't bring it up either, acting as if he hadn't just sent her a fortune in a box.

"I've got a lot on my plate here," he said. "It'll be a while before I'm back."

Charlene understood his meaning. She pressed her lips together, saying nothing.

"Are you angry?" he asked into the silence.
