Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 545

Thorne's gaze lingered on Charlene for two or three seconds before he finally looked away. He seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation, but Dalton noticed where Thorne's attention truly lay-always drifting back to Charlene.

Whenever Charlene finished chatting with Stewart and moved on, Thorne's eyes would search the crowd for her again and again.

Charlene herself, meanwhile, was entirely focused on helping Stewart greet the guests. She didn't notice Thorne watching her, not even once.

Dalton's expression darkened, and the people around him immediately noticed. “Dalton, is something wrong?" one of them asked.

He took a breath and forced himself to calm down, pushing the heat of his anger back down. "It's nothing," he replied.
