Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 598

After hanging up, Vesta exchanged a few more words with Dalton before getting into her car and leaving.

For the rest of the afternoon, the Hawkins and Spencer households were buzzing with excitement and joy. Vesta was too, though she maintained a calm and composed exterior.

Around five o'clock, her phone buzzed. Instantly, everyone's attention turned to her. After she read the message, Leah asked eagerly, "Is Thorne coming to pick you up?"

"No," Vesta said. "He just messaged to ask if I needed him to send a car for me."

"Oh, I see…"

Though Thorne wasn't coming himself, neither Vesta nor her family thought much of it. After all, a surprise is often more effective when it emerges from the ordinary.

Vesta replied to the text, and a little after six, with her family waving her off, she left for the restaurant Thorne had booked.

When she arrived, she saw Jasmine happily pacing outside the private room, clearly waiting for her. The moment Jasmine spotted her, she ran over, beaming. "Ms. Hawkins!"

Vesta smiled and opened her arms to catch her. "Careful, now."

Jasmine nodded eagerly. "I know!" She held out a gift box. "Happy birthday!"

"Thank you, Minnie," Vesta said, accepting the gift.

Looking up, she saw Thorne emerge from the room, likely checking on Jasmine. "You're here," he said upon seeing her.
