Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 864

The butler had anticipated she might try calling Jasmine. When the phone finally rang, the little girl happened to be in the shower.

The butler declined Vesta Hawkins's call without hesitation.

Seeing that Jasmine still wasn't answering, Vesta sent a text message.

*Minnie, Aunt Vesta is here to see you. Can you come downstairs and open the door for me?*

The butler read the message and promptly deleted it.

He waited a moment longer, relaxing only when it became clear Vesta wasn't going to call back.

Outside, Vesta waited in the quiet night. When Jasmine remained unresponsive, she pursed her lips in frustration.

She lingered outside the estate for a long time. By the time midnight rolled around, there was still no sign of Thorne Henderson's car.

Checking the time, she finally gave up and drove away.

When she arrived back home, Henley Hawkins and the rest of the family were still awake, anxiously awaiting any news.

Leah Spencer was the first to jump to her feet the moment Vesta walked through the door. "Vesta—"

Vesta didn't look at her. Instead, she met the expectant gazes of the others and simply shook her head.

A heavy sense of dread washed over Henley and Maureen Spencer.

Leah caught on immediately. "Vesta, did you... still not get to see Thorne?"

Everyone knew Vesta had spent the last two days trying everything to see Thorne. But they never imagined that after countless calls and hours spent waiting outside his home, she still wouldn't even catch a glimpse of him.

At that moment, even Leah realized the grim reality. "Is Thorne... actively avoiding you?"

If she could figure it out, the others certainly had as well.

They could understand if Thorne was simply stressed and wanted some peace and quiet, needing space from Vesta.

They had all believed that once the scandal blew over, the two of them would quickly reconcile.
