Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 397

Sunday was Mother’s Day.

Jasmine arrived at the Ross family home on Saturday.

Thorne’s driver dropped her off.

For her Mother’s Day gift, Jasmine gave her mom a handmade card. On the front, in careful handwriting, it said, “Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.”

“Isn’t it pretty? My teacher said I could ask Dad to help, but he’s been super busy lately. So I did everything myself—from the design to drawing and sticking on the hearts and everything.”

Charlene realized it had been a while since she’d actually watched Jasmine do her homework.

Her handwriting was getting neater and neater.

As Charlene looked at the card, she suddenly remembered last year, when she’d flown all the way to Goldland just to spend Jasmine and Thorne’s birthday with them. But Jasmine had been preoccupied, polishing a bracelet for Vesta.

And, if Jasmine’s words were anything to go by, that bracelet had been a team effort between her and Thorne.

Charlene kept her expression calm as these memories flickered through her mind.

She slowly closed the card and said, “It’s beautiful, thank you.”

The day after Mother’s Day, Charlene got a call from Kenton Wagner. That evening, she headed straight back to the base.

York Watson walked into the data center and paused when he saw Charlene hard at work.

She didn’t notice him right away.

A few minutes later, as she picked up her mug, took a sip of water, and set it down, she finally caught sight of York standing not far away, facing her.

She paused for a second, nodded at him, then turned back to her computer.

York was in the data center for a reason.

When he finished his meeting, he noticed Charlene was still at her desk. He walked over and said, “It’s getting late. Aren’t you going to grab something to eat?”
