However, Henley and his group had already turned to head upstairs, missing the moment Stewart stepped out

of the car.

Stewart quickly diverted his attention back to Teague, greeting him with a warm smile.

After the brief catch–up with Teague, they were about to head upstairs when Thorne arrived.

Just as he stepped out of his car, Teague’s face lit up with surprise. “Mr. Henderson!”

Thorne greeted Teague with a handshake, maintaining a calm demeanor and a faint smile as he noticed Charlene and Stewart. “When did you get to Starfall, Teague?”

“Just arrived,” Teague replied cheerfully. “Last time you mentioned grabbing a bite together, Mr. Henderson. When’s good for you? How about tonight?”

Thorne shook his head, “I’m fully booked today. How about in a couple of days?”

“Sure, sure, a couple of days works.”

Watching Thorne and Teague exchange pleasantries, Stewart muttered under his breath, “Just when things were quiet for a couple of weeks, we run into them again.”

Charlene remained silent, though she realized it had indeed been half a month since she last saw Thorne.

Even when she visited Irma at the hospital last weekend, he wasn’t there.

Over the past ten days or so, Jasmine had called her a few times, particularly in the last couple of days. It was likely because winter break had started, and with Thorne and Vesta being busy, Jasmine found herself bored and ended up calling Charlene several times.

Charlene hadn’t picked up those calls.

To Thorne’s credit, he seemed to have kept his promise. Whatever he told Jasmine, it kept her from showing up at the Ross household, saving Charlene some hassle.
