Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Divorce Time 213

Chapter 213

Jasmine wasn't around, so Charlene gave a small smile and said, "We're about to split up."

Sally's mom had suspected as much. After all, even though Charlene had a daughter, she lived alone just across the street...

Besides, the last time there was a parent-teacher meeting, Charlene didn't show up. Instead, a glamorous

woman turned up.

Thorne, ever the sociable one, greeted them with a, "Hey there."

Sally's mom replied, "Hey..."

Thorne asked, "You two know each other?"

Though he directed the question at Sally's mom, his eyes were fixed on Charlene.

Charlene wasn't interested in engaging with him, so she stayed silent. Sally's mom answered, "Charlene and I

te neighbors."

Noticing the awkward vibes between Charlene and Thorne, and seeing that Charlene seemed eager to dodge him, she quickly found a reason to slip away.

Thorne commented, "Looks like you're getting along well with the new neighbor."

Charlene just glanced down at her phone.

Thorne didn't seem bothered, but he didn't push any further.

Right about then, Jasmine returned, and the school's family event was about to kick off.

Charlene had attended this sort of event back in Jasmine's first year at preschool. But after Jasmine and Thorne went abroad last year, she hadn't been to one since.

The first activity on the agenda was a good old-fashioned game of musical chairs.

The game was straightforward: set up chairs in a circle, two less than the number of families playing. Parents and their kids would walk around the chairs while the music played. When the music stopped, it was a scramble to find a seat. The family left standing would be eliminated. The last family remaining would be crowned the champions.

Thorne looked at Charlene, "You want to do it, or should I?"

Charlene was about to say, "You go ahead," but Jasmine piped up first, "Dad's got this."
