Divorce Time

Chapter 374

After chatting with Jasmine and hanging up the phone, it only took about ten minutes for Thorne to text Charlene the time and place for Jasmine’s training the next day.

But that was it–just the time and location. Nothing else, not even an extra word.

The next day, Charlene arrived at the fencing club a few minutes before Jasmine did.

As soon as she got out of the car, Jasmine beamed and grabbed Charlene’s hand, leading her into the fencing club.

No sooner had they entered than Charlene’s phone buzzed with a call from Stewart.

“Sweetie, let me take this call,” Charlene told Jasmine.

“Okay, I’ll go find my coach,” Jasmine replied, nodding.

Charlene answered the call. Stewart just had a few questions, and after a short chat, they hung up.
