Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Jasmine Henderson was halfway through unwrapping the present Thorne Henderson had given her as she chatted with Charlene Ross upstairs.

Charlene listened, distracted, when her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was from Thorne.

[Something's come up in Goldland. I need to head back tomorrow afternoon to deal with it. The divorce will have to be postponed another week.]

Charlene's brow furrowed as she read the message. She quickly typed a reply.

[Can't you wait until Monday morning to go back?]

Thorne responded almost immediately.

[I've tried. It's not possible. Sorry.]

Charlene pressed her lips together, hesitating, then decided not to reply.

Maybe sensing she was annoyed, Thorne sent another message, trying to reassure her: [Even if I can't make it back by next Friday, I promise I'll be back before the following Monday. You have my word.]

With Thorne giving her a concrete timeline, Charlene felt a bit more at ease.

She put down her phone without replying again.

Thorne must have known she'd seen the message, and when she didn't answer, he let it go and didn't reach out again.

After chatting with Charlene for a while, Jasmine started to get sleepy, and soon drifted off.
