Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

No one in the Henderson family cared much about Charlene except for Irma Henderson, Thorne’s grandmother. 

kids often mimic what they see. Tiffany’s son was no exception. He enjoyed Charlene’s cooking but looked down on her from his heart, treating her more like a servant than a family member. 

In the past, Charlene had gone out of her way for Thorne and never taken Tiffany’s child’s disrespect to heart. But then, as she and Thome were on the brink of divorce, Charlene refused to bend backward for him any longer. 

“I’m sorry, Tiffany. I’m busy tomorrow,” Charlene stated when Tiffany asked for a favor. 

Charlene was determined to focus on her career, putting her time into her work rather than worrying about Thorne or Tiffany after the divorce. It was time for her to stop wasting her time on them. 

Tiffany was stunned by the refusal. Charlene had always gone out of her way to please, especially with Thorne and his side of the family. 

But Tiffany figured Charlene must genuinely be busy. Otherwise, why would she pass up the opportunity to curry favor? Tiffany couldn’t hide her displeasure. “Thorne and Minnie are not around. What could be so important?” 

Charlene couldn’t help but smile bitterly. For years, she had lost herself in her role as wife and mother, revolving her entire world around Thorne and Jasmine. Tiffany’s words were harsh, but not without reason. But Charlene was ready to move on. 

As they spoke, a group approached, calling out, “Ms. Henderson!” 

They were looking for Tiffany. After giving Charlene a once–over, one asked, “Ms. Henderson, and who might this be?” 

Without acknowledging Charlene’s relation to her, Tiffany coldly replied, “A friend.” 

The group, all graduates of Starlight University back for a reunion, expected someone of significance. But Tiffany’s dismissive tone shifted their attention away from Charlene despite a few lingering glances at her striking appearance. 

After the group left with Tiffany, Charlene, who might have been hurt by such treatment in the past, now felt indifferent. She picked up 

her purse and left.
