Divorce Time

Chapter 186

Thorne didn’t say much, just pulled out his phone and dialed Charlene.

Charlene saw the call but decided to disconnect.

Thorne paused for a moment, then remarked, “Looks like your mom didn’t pick up my call either.”

“She’s probably busy, didn’t you see?” Jasmine said. Otherwise, her mom would never miss her dad’s call..

“Maybe,” Thorne replied as he slipped into his suit jacket and grabbed a black trench coat. “I’m heading out. If you want to go out, you can ask the bodyguard to take you.”

“But I want mom to come with me…”

Even though she sometimes resented her mother’s nagging, there were moments she wished for her company.

Then, cupping her face, she asked, “Dad, are you visiting Ms. Hawkins at the hospital or heading back to the office?”

“Hospital first, then the office,” Thorne gently tapped on her forehead. “Off I go, have fun on your own.”

Jasmine murmured a disappointed, “Oh…”

After two more unreturned calls to Charlene, Jasmine resigned to having the bodyguard and Latonia accompany her out.

But without her favorite person, even skiing felt joyless, and it wasn’t long before she returned home, disheartened.

Leaving the hospital, Thorne made his way back to Henderson Group.
