Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Chapter 549

At the sound of Leah's words, Vesta's hand froze midair, the spoonful of

nourishing soup hovering just inches from her lips.

She quickly composed herself, masking her reaction so well that no one else at the table seemed to notice anything amiss.

Henley looked over. "Vesta, is Thorne back in the country?"

Vesta's lashes fluttered almost imperceptibly.

How could she admit she had no idea Thorne had returned? He hadn't mentioned a word to her. Earlier today, she'd tried calling him several times, but he never picked up. She'd simply assumed he was busy with work.

Before she could answer, Henley continued with a smile, "We really owe Thorne for what happened last time. I've been meaning to invite him over for dinner, but you said he was on a business trip abroad, so your father decided to wait. Now that he's back, could you ask him when he might be free to join us?"

Katie chimed in, nodding. "Absolutely, Thorne should come over for dinner soon." Vesta forced a smile. "Sure, I'll talk to Thorne and let you know later."
