Divorce Time

Chapter 292

The Ross family didn’t have the tradition of staying up to welcome the New Year. By the time Charlene and Nadine got home, Helena and the others were already asleep.

Charlene headed upstairs to her room, and it was just striking midnight.

Her phone had been buzzing for a while.

Messages from Stewart, Granger, and a few folks from PrimeStar she was close with, like Abelard and Hickey, had all sent her New Year’s greetings.

Charlene responded to each of them, including Granger, and even took the initiative to send Kenton and Connie a New Year’s message.

Just then, Abelard sent her another message asking if she was free in the coming days. He mentioned he hadn’t had the chance to properly thank her for something due to his busy schedule and wanted to take her out for a meal.

After chatting with Abelard, Charlene put down her phone and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

Though visiting Sybil Ross at the nursing home was always a painful ordeal for the Ross family, there was no way they wouldn’t see her on such an important day.

Every New Year’s Day morning, Charlene and Helena would prepare a lavish spread of food to take to the nursing home for Sybil.

This year was no different.
