NovelEnglishChapter 3
It was just past nine when Thand Jasmine got home.
Jasmine clung to her dad’s shirt. Her movements were sluggish as she got out of the car. She didn’t want to
chbecause her mom was there.-
But Vesta had told her that Charlene cspecially to spend twith her and her dad. They couldn't just stay
out, which would break Charlene’s heart.
Thhad also mentioned that if they didn’t chtonight, Charlene would join them on their boating trip
tomorrow.
Reluctantly, she agreed to return. Still, she couldn't help worrying, muttering, “Dad, what if Mommy insists on
coming with us tomorrow?”
“It won't happen,” Thorne said with assurance.
Over the years of their marriage, Charlene always tried to find chances to spend more twith him, but she
was sensible enough to back off whenever he made it clear he needed space.
In Jasmine’s memory, Charlene always listened to Thorne. If he said it wouldn't happen, then it certainly
wouldn't.
Finally feeling relieved, Jasmine’s mood lifted. She bounced into the house, telling Latonia she would take a
shower.
Okay,” Latonia responded. Remembering Charlene’s instructions, she handed Thorne an envelope. “Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHenderson, Mrs. Henderson askedto give this to you.”
Thtook it, casually asking, “Where is she?”
“She... packed up and left around noon. Didn't you know?”
Thpaused on his way upstairs, turning back. “She left?”
Latonia nodded. “Yes.”
Thorne had never let Charlene explain why she cto Goldland, and he didn’t care much. Knowing she had left
didn’t bother him either.
Jasmine was surprised to hear it, feeling a slight sense of loss.
She figured it would be nice to have her mom around in the evening, especially if her mom didn’t join their
outing the next day. Plus, her hands always hurt from polishing shells, and she had hoped her mom would help
her finish.
Thorne and Charlene hadn't seen each other for months. Charlene had call this way yet hadn't even seen
Thorne. Remembering Charlene’s unhappy expression upon leaving, Latonia couldn’t help but mention, “Mr.
Henderson, Mrs. Henderson seemed upset when she left. It looked like she was angry.”
Latonia had initially thought Charlene had urgent business to attend to back in the country. Then, realizing
Thorne didn’t know about her return, she sensed something was off.
‘Angry? Charlene’s always been super patient and nice to me. Wait, she can actually get mad? That's a first.
Thorne chuckled dismissively, barely acknowledging Latonia before heading upstairs.
Entering his room, he was about to open Charlene’s letter when Vesta’s call cthrough. After picking up, he
carelessly tossed the envelope aside and left the room. The envelope fell to the floor beside the bed.
Thorne didn’t chthat night.
