Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 590

Vesta and Thorne arrived at the restaurant at almost the same time. As they were walking in, they ran into Mr. Hawkins, the very man Thorne was supposed to have met with that morning. Mr. Hawkins showed no signs of being upset about the last-minute change of plans. On the contrary, he greeted Thorne warmly. "I watched the press conference this morning," he said. "It's getting rave reviews both inside and outside the industry. Congratulations."

"Thank you," Thorne replied. "About our meeting this morning—"

"With a major technological breakthrough like this, it was only right for you to be there, Mr. Henderson. I completely understand. Please don't give it a second thought."

Vesta had known from watching the conference that Thorne's attendance wasn't officially required. If it had been, he'd be busy with post-conference obligations instead of having dinner with her and Moran. But hearing Mr. Hawkins's words, it hit her then: Thorne had deliberately cleared his schedule to be here.

Mr. Hawkins had his own party to meet, so after a few more pleasantries, he excused himself.

With her work at The Henderson Group wrapped up, Charlene was looking forward to a quiet weekend. But early Saturday morning, her phone rang. It was Jasmine, asking if she wanted to go out for lunch and shopping.

Charlene was exhausted, though not so much that she couldn't manage a simple outing. Still, she wasn't keen on leaving the house. Jasmine seemed to sense her hesitation. "Mom, just for a little while. We can get lunch and walk around for a bit, then come right back."

"…Alright," Charlene conceded.

Jasmine's car pulled up to the Ross family home just after eleven. Seeing it arrive, Charlene grabbed her bag and walked out, only to find Thorne sitting in the car as well.

"Mom, hurry up!" Jasmine waved from the window.

Jasmine had conveniently failed to mention that Thorne would be joining them. Charlene stopped in her tracks.
