Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 845

When Charlene walked through the door, she realized Irma Henderson was there.

Irma smiled as she saw her. "You're back, Charlene."

Charlene returned the smile, setting her bag aside before taking a seat next to the older woman. "When did you get back, Grandma?"

She knew Irma had spent the last few weeks down south to escape the summer heat.

"I arrived around noon today," Irma said, taking Charlene's hand. "I picked up quite a few local specialties while I was there and wanted to bring some over for you."

After a few more minutes of catching up, dinner was served. Over the meal, Irma shared plenty of amusing stories from her summer getaway.

Irma and Helena Ross hadn't seen each other in a while, so they had a lot of ground to cover.

Irma ended up staying until nearly nine o'clock before finally deciding it was time to head out.

As Charlene and Helena walked her out, Irma's smile faded. She hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "I've heard about everything that happened over the last couple of days. Regarding the Hawkins family's company, Lloyd and I already called Thorne. He promised he wouldn't step in to help them, but..."

But even if Thorne had agreed not to help the Hawkins family now, there was no telling what he might do once the storm blew over.

Charlene and Helena had already anticipated that possibility from the very beginning, even without Irma pointing it out.

They both knew that delivering this message was the real reason behind Irma's visit today.

Irma clasped Helena's hands, her eyes growing misty. "The Hawkins and Spencer families ruined Sybil, yet my ungrateful grandson... Old friend, I am so sorry. I know I have no right to even show my face here, but I couldn't just pretend I was blind to it all."

No matter what, she needed to make her stance clear to the Ross family regarding the recent drama.

Otherwise, she feared the decades of friendship she had with them would slowly wither away.

"We've been friends for years, there's no need for that," Helena said quickly, patting her hand to soothe her. "How could I not understand where you're coming from?"
