Divorce Time 123

Chapter 123

Charlene subtly touched her nose and then, as if nothing had happened, dropped her hand and took a small step back, increasing the space between them.

Thorne seemed oblivious to her actions and, after opening the invitation, casually commented, "Her 70th birthday bash?"

Charlene simply nodded. She didn't ask him if he was free like before, nor did she plead for him to make some time to attend. She just said, "Could you let my folks know for me?"

It was unclear if Thorne had noticed her lack of inquiry about his availability that evening.

He glanced at her, then set the invitation aside carelessly, saying, "Got it."

Without another word, he turned and headed into the bathroom.

Charlene watched his retreating figure, put away the hairdryer, and then went to give Jasmine a bath in her room.
