Divorce Time

Chapter 169

Thorne didn’t look at Charlene as he gently tapped Jasmine on the nose, “Daddy’s got to work, pumpkin. Be good and listen to your mom, okay?”

“Okay,” Jasmine mumbled reluctantly. She glanced at Charlene, then slowly reached out her hand as she approached her, a quiet offer of peace.

Charlene took her hand and after nodding to the housekeeper, they left the house.

By the time they reached the Ross household, Irma had already been there for a bit.

Upon seeing only Charlene and Jasmine without Thorne, Irma’s face fell. “Where’s Thorne? Busy again?”

Charlene simply nodded.

Irma, visibly annoyed, reached for her phone to call Thorne. However, Helena, already aware of Charlene and Thorne’s impending divorce, felt it was unnecessary for Thorne to show up.

She stopped Irma, saying, “He’s swamped with work, I totally get it. Let’s not pressure him.”

Inside, Jasmine ran upstairs to play video games with Carl.

Charlene stayed downstairs, keeping the two old ladies company.
