Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 628

Hearing her out, Thorne seemed about to say something more, but after a slight pause, he simply said, "Alright."

Just as the word left his lips, Coy pushed the door open and entered.

After giving his report, Coy was about to leave when Thorne stopped him. "Reschedule my lunch meeting."

Coy looked surprised for a second, but then his eyes fell on Vesta, who was sitting quietly to the side. A knowing smile spread across his face. "Of course, sir."

Vesta felt a wave of relief wash over her. She looked at Thorne, her eyes softening with a familiar tenderness.

That afternoon, Thorne and Vesta had lunch together. Afterward, they went their separate ways as Thorne had other commitments.

When Vesta returned to her office, Rhoda immediately pounced. "How did it go?"

Georgina and Maureen also turned to her expectantly.

Vesta took her seat, a calm smile on her face. "It was good. It felt just like it used to."

Learning that Thorne had cancelled his plans for her, putting her first just as he always had, sent a ripple of joy through the Spencers.

Leah beamed triumphantly. "I knew it! My brother-in-law will always love my sister the most!"

Rhoda was smiling too, but she couldn't help but add, "It's just a shame you met him for lunch. If it had been dinner, that would have been even better."

The implication was clear: a romantic dinner could lead to a more intimate rekindling of their passion. Everyone in the room understood.

In fact, the thought had crossed Vesta's mind on her way back. It was a pity, but...

To Stewart and Charlene, Thorne's personal appearance was a powerful gesture of goodwill. Under any other circumstances, Stewart would have been thrilled by such a show of respect from a partner. But this was Thorne.

The more professional and impeccable he acted, the more it infuriated Stewart.

Gritting his teeth, he forced a tight, insincere smile and extended a hand. "Mr. Henderson, we weren't expecting you personally. Please forgive us if our welcome seems a bit lacking."

Thorne shook his hand, then Charlene's, his own smile perfectly pleasant. "Not at all, Mr. Ferguson. Thank you for having me."

Stewart was momentarily speechless.

As Thorne took a seat, his gaze briefly flickered to Gaylord, who was seated right beside Charlene, perhaps a little too closely.
