Divorce Time 289

Chapter 289

Jasmine shook her head and said, "I got through."

Thorne held her close, gently rubbing her temple with his thumb, noticing how her eyebrows and eyes looked so much like his. "Got through, but you're not happy?"

Jasmine furrowed her little brows. "I am happy, but..."

It had been so long since she'd called her mom, and after finally talking to her, she really was happy. But still...

Thorne prompted, "But what?"

Jasmine mumbled, "But I also feel a bit sad."

"Sounds a bit deep, doesn't it? But..." Thorne propped his chin on his hand and chuckled, "Maybe it's because you miss her too much after not seeing her for so long. Once your mom's less busy, she'll spend more time with you." Jasmine nodded, though still looking a bit down. "But Mom said she's really busy and can only come next

month..."

"Then next month it is. Dad will wait with you."

"Okay."

Feeling tired, Jasmine chatted a little more, yawned, and then slipped out of his embrace to head back to her room for some rest.

The next day was New Year's Eve.

All morning, Claudia and Terence hadn't seen any sign of Charlene.

When her husband returned for the holidays, Charlene hadn't shown up at all. Claudia thought something big must have happened with the Ross family.

Charlene was absent even when the family matriarch was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Thorne had said she was busy, and knowing how much Charlene cared for her son, Claudia didn't think Charlene would ever consider divorce, so she didn't dwell on it. But it was New Year's Eve.
