DreameNovelDivorce T278 Chapter 278 However, Henley and his group had already turned to head upstairs, missing the moment Stewart stepped out of the car.
Stewart quickly diverted his attention back to Teague, greeting him with a warm smile.
After the brief catch-up with Teague, they were about to head upstairs when Thorne arrived.
Just as he stepped out of his car, Teague's face lit up with surprise. "Mr. Henderson!" Thorne greeted Teague with a handshake, maintaining a calm demeanor and a faint smile as he noticed Charlene and Stewart. "When did you get to Starfall, Teague?" "Just arrived," Teague replied cheerfully. "Last tyou mentioned grabbing a bite together, Mr. Henderson. When's good for you? How about tonight?" Thorne shook his head, "I'm fully booked today. How about in a couple of days?" "Sure, sure, a couple of days works." Watching Thorne and Teague exchange pleasantries, Stewart muttered under his breath, "Just when things were quiet for a couple of weeks, we run into them again." Charlene remained silent, though she realized it had indeed been half a month since she last saw Thorne.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven when she visited Irma at the hospital last weekend, he wasn't there.
Over the past ten days or so, Jasmine had called her a few times, particularly in the last couple of days. It was likely because winter break had started, and with Thorne and Vesta being busy, Jasmine found herself bored and ended up calling Charlene several times. Charlene hadn't picked up those calls.
To Thorne's credit, he seemed to have kept his promise. Whatever he told Jasmine, it kept her from showing up at the Ross household, saving Charlene shassle.
As she reflected on this, Thorne and Teague had finished their conversation, and the group entered the elevator. Noticing that Stewart and Charlene weren't engaging much with Thorne, Teague sensed stension between them, and his smile grew a bit awkward.
Charlene caught Thorne's gaze on her.
She looked up and met his deep eyes.
Thorne suddenly asked, "When are you free next?" Charlene quickly averted her gaze and replied coolly, "I'm not free anytsoon." It wasn't hard to guess that this question was about Jasmine. It had only been half a month since she last saw Jasmine, with more than ten days before a full month would pass. She was busy these days and didn't have tfor Jasmine. Thorne chuckled softly, seemingly unfazed by her attitude, and simply remarked, "The holidays are approaching." Charlene paused, suddenly grasping his meaning.
If she didn't make tfor Jasmine soon, the holiday season would be upon them before she knew it.
She had been so busy she'd forgotten all about it. But...
"I don't mind skipping one month," she said coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm1/2 Chapter 2 After all, she had spent quite a bit of twith Jasmine last month. Skipping this month shouldn't be a big deal. Thorne raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
Teague, listening to their exchange, was a bit puzzled. He didn't quite understand what they were discussing. With a ding, the elevator reached its destination, and Thorne bid farewell to Teague before exiting.
Once the elevator doors closed, Teague asked, "So, Ms. Ross and Mr. Henderson aren't dating?" Charlene replied, "We're not." Teague didn't quite believe her, thinking maybe Charlene was just upset with Thorne and saying that out of spite. Besides, he thought Thorne and Charlene seemed like a good match.
Before he could say more, his phone rang, and the topic was dropped.
After dinner, Charlene and her group headed back down to the parking lot, where they ran into Thorne and the Hawkins family again.
Charlene and Stewart overheard Jacques telling Thorne, "Treat my sister well. If you ever hurt her, I won't let you off easy!"
