Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 849

"Okay, Mom," Jasmine replied softly. "Then... bye, Mom."

Charlene hadn't expected her to end the call so quickly, but she didn't make a fuss about it. "Alright. Get some rest early tonight."

"Mm, goodnight, Mom."

After hanging up, Jasmine turned and marched straight downstairs, confronting the Butler. "Did you call my mom earlier?"

The Butler gave an apologetic nod. "I did. You were refusing to eat, and I was worried about you, so I let her know."

Hearing that, Jasmine lowered her head, said nothing more, and silently made her way back upstairs.

The next morning, Jasmine woke up and deliberately avoided going down for breakfast. After finishing his own meal, Thorne came upstairs and knocked on her door. "I have to head out for a bit. I'll be back this afternoon."

Jasmine was still sulking. She turned her head away, ignoring him, but suddenly remembered something. She glanced back at him, hesitation flickering in her eyes.

Thorne noticed her inner conflict and gently ruffled her hair. "What is it?"

Jasmine opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words. "Nothing."

Thorne didn't press her. "Call me if you need anything."

With that, he turned and left the house.

A while after Thorne's departure, Jasmine slowly dragged herself downstairs to eat. Latonia watched her carefully, noticing that her mood seemed even gloomier than when she first woke up. "What's wrong, sweetie?" she asked gently. "Did something happen?"

Jasmine shook her head in silence, staring down at her food as she quietly ate her breakfast.

Latonia figured Thorne must have said something to upset her before he left.

That afternoon, right after lunch, Jasmine went upstairs for a nap. However, when she finally opened her eyes, she realized she was in a completely unfamiliar room.

She blinked, utterly confused. Before she could process her surroundings, Thorne pushed the door open and walked in.

She glared at him. "Why am I here?"

"I'm taking you out for a trip," Thorne replied smoothly.

She had just realized that the only people on this trip were her, Daisy, Thorne, Granger, and Moran...

There was no one else.

Not entirely convinced, she glanced around the sprawling deck.

Moran waved at her with a grin. "Hey there, you're finally up?"

Confirming that it was just their small group, a quiet wave of relief washed over Jasmine. Hearing Moran's greeting, she politely acknowledged him and Granger. "Mr. Albright. Granger."

Granger offered a warm, easy smile and nodded in return.

Jasmine and Daisy wandered off to play by themselves, leaving the three men lounging on the deck with their drinks.

In truth, Moran and Granger had only realized Vesta hadn't been invited when they all gathered at the yacht.

And neither of them had bothered to ask why.
