Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

When Jasmine found out that Thorne had flown all the way back from overseas

just to surprise her, her spirits finally lifted.

Clutching her phone, she dashed excitedly down the stairs.

Charlene watched her for a moment, standing frozen, then followed Jasmine

downstairs and called the gatehouse to let Thorne's car through.

As Thorne's car pulled into the Ross family's driveway, Jasmine bolted out the

front door and threw herself into his arms the moment he stepped out of the car.

It was her birthday, but Thorne hadn't called all day, and Charlene had been out

and about, busy with her own things. Jasmine had spent the whole day feeling

overlooked and hurt, convinced they hadn't given her a second thought.

That heaviness had lingered all day, clouding everything.

But seeing Thorne make the effort to come home just for her birthday-feeling for

the first time that he truly cared-Jasmine's bottled-up emotions surged to the

surface, her eyes turning red with tears.

As she collapsed into his arms, Thorne ruffled her hair and, kneeling down to hug

her, realized she was crying.

His hand paused, surprise flickering in his eyes. But it didn't take him long to

piece it together: not only had he forgotten to call, but Charlene must have done

something else to make Jasmine feel neglected. No wonder she broke down the

moment she saw him.

He looked up and caught sight of Charlene standing a little ways off, not making

any move to approach.
