Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Kendal didn't even bother replying to him. When Thorne made his comment, Charlene didn't respond either.

No one seemed eager to engage with him, but Thorne didn't mind. He noticed Charlene's coffee was nearly gone, so he picked up the pot and refilled her cup, as well as Kendal's.

Throughout the brunch, whether sipping on their Americanos or discussing over the club sandwiches, Charlene mostly chatted with Kendal and Jasmine, leaving Thorne out of the conversation.

It wasn't clear if Charlene was intentionally ignoring him, or if Thorne himself wasn't interested in talking to her.

Kendal had noticed this too.

Thorne wasn't about to change that, and Charlene had already moved on emotionally. Thorne hadn't invited them over for matchmaking purposes; he knew they had nothing to say to each other and he had nothing more to add.

As they were getting ready to head back home, Jasmine looked up at Charlene and asked, "Mom, are you coming home today?" Before Charlene could respond, Jasmine added, "You haven't been home in a long time."

Kendal paused, saying nothing, merely sighing softly under his breath.
