Divorce Time

Chapter 299

After more than a day and night of non–stop work, Charlene finally finished recording everything she needed to and sent it off to Stewart. Only then did she head downstairs to grab some breakfast.

Once Stewart went through the materials she sent, he was so thrilled his hands were shaking. “This is it, this is brilliant, absolutely brilliant!”

Charlene rubbed her aching temples and said, “I need to catch some sleep. We can talk later.”

“Alright,” Stewart replied.

Charlene slept like a log until well past five in the afternoon.

When she woke up, she found Jasmine sitting on the carpet, engrossed in a Sudoku puzzle.

As soon as Jasmine noticed she was awake, she got up and said, “Mom, you’re awake?”

Charlene replied with a simple, “Yeah.”

“Are you thirsty? Want some water?” Jasmine asked.

Charlene paused for a moment, then said, “Thanks.”

After Jasmine got her a glass of water, she went back to her puzzle.

As Charlene watched her daughter, a wave of guilt washed over her. She knew she’d been buried in work and hadn’t spent much time with her recently.

Unfortunately, today marked the end of their holiday. Tomorrow, she’d be back at PrimeStar and wouldn’t have much time for Jasmine.

With that thought, she called out, “Minnie.”
