Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 431

Gaylord Hearst frowned. "You mean you couldn't find out anything at all?"

"About her ex-husband? Not a single thing," his friend replied. "But I did pick up a few other bits and pieces. Apparently, she got married pretty young, but it seems things weren't great between her and her husband. None of the Ross family's neighbors ever saw him, and from what I gathered, the Ross family didn't like her ex at all. They don't even mention him if they can help it."

His friend paused for a moment before adding, "Also, they already have a child." Gaylord's head snapped up in disbelief. "What did you just say?"

"It's true. I was shocked, too, when I heard there's just no way you'd guess it, right?"

He was right.

Gaylord had worked at PrimeStar Technologies for years, and not once had he ever heard Charlene Ross mention a child.

So, the fact that not only had she been married, but that she already had a kid- he really hadn't seen that coming.

Seeing the look on Gaylord's face, his friend hesitated. "You want me to keep going?"

He was really asking if Gaylord still cared-now that he knew Charlene had been married and had a child, did it matter to him? If it did, and Gaylord was planning to move on, there was no point digging deeper.

Gaylord stood there, silent.

He was the whole package, no doubt about it, but his love life always seemed to be one long, bumpy road. The first girl he liked fell for someone else halfway through his pursuit, and now, just as he was finally starting to care deeply for someone new, he discovered she'd already been married—and even had a child. Anyone would have a hard time swallowing that.
