Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 426

“No sign of him at all?”

“Exactly.” Another colleague chimed in, “That’s why a lot of us think Ms. Ross must be divorced already. I mean, it’s been more than half a year—if she wasn’t, how could she go this long without ever mentioning her husband?”

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

If that’s the case, it did sound plausible.

If Charlene was still married, how could York openly, almost brazenly, pursue her like this?

Still, Gaylord couldn’t shake off the unease inside him.

He’d never considered that Charlene might have already been married.

Noticing how lost in thought he looked, Charlene glanced up from her desk. “Something on your mind?”

Gaylord wanted to blurt out, “I heard you’ve been married before—is that true?”

But peppering your boss with personal questions at work, especially more than once, was crossing a line. He caught himself just in time.

“It’s nothing,” he replied, quickly looking away.

Later that afternoon, Charlene received a phone call.

Right after she hung up, just before everyone was packing up to leave, she turned to Stewart. “I’ll probably come in later tomorrow—maybe after lunch. Can you take my place at the morning meeting?”

“Of course.” He studied her for a moment, then asked, “Everything okay?”

“My mother’s having some tests done at the hospital tomorrow. I want to go with her.”

Stewart had no idea Sybil Ross’s health had worsened; he figured it was just a routine check-up. “Not a problem. Go ahead—I’ve got things covered here.”

Charlene nodded and headed out for the evening.

The next morning, Charlene, her sister Helena, and Maisie arrived at the hospital bright and early.
