MainNovelHearing this, Vesta's hand paused mid-meal.
Nicol went on, "I'm serious. Whether it's her looks, her calm demeanor, or the way she carries herself-she's
everything | like. And she's so talented. Honestly, she's the kind of woman I've always dreamed of meeting. How
could I not fall for her?"
Maybe because the divorce with Charlene wasn't final yet, Thorne knew it was inappropriate to encourage other
men to pursue her. So when Nicol finished, Thorne just smiled politely and didn't say anything more.
Nicol had other things to take care of, and their call ended shortly after.
After the call with Nicol, Charlene spent the afternoon resting at home. Before bed, she carefully gathered all the
documents she'd need to finalize the divorce tomorrow, placing them neatly in her bag and double-checking that
nothing was missing. She was just about to turn off the light when her phone buzzed-Kenton Wagner was calling.
"Get ready. Someone will be there to pick you up in ten minutes."
Tomorrow was supposed to be the day she and Thorne made their divorce official.
Charlene hesitated for a moment. "Professor, I—"
"Could | cby tomorrow morning instead?" she started to ask, but the rest of her words caught in her throat.
She'd been to the institute enough times to know that, for them, twasn't just money it could mean lives on
the front lines.

There weren't many days left in her and Thorne's required "cooling-off" period before finalizing the divorce. She
didn't know how long this trip to the institute would last. If she didn't make it back before the period was up,
they'd have to reapply for the divorce and start the waiting period all over again.
The thought left her sitting on the edge of her bed, lips pressed in a tight line. After a while, she snapped out of
it, changed clothes, and shot Stewart a text. His reply cquickly a simple thumbs-up emoji, letting her know
he understood.
Once she was dressed, Charlene hesitated, then messaged Thorne:
| have an urgent matter to handle. We'll need to reschedule the divorce appointment. I'll be in touch once things
settle down.
She didn't know if Thorne was busy or just hadn't seen her message, but there was no response by the time
she'd finished packing or even when the car arrived to pick her up.
As the car pulled out of the Ross family driveway, she turned in her phone according to protocol, and the staff in
the car quickly briefed her on the current situation.
Charlene hadn't even reached the institute before she was already knee-deep in work.
Three days passed.
After three nights in a row without sleep, Charlene completed her final assignment. The engineers in the data
center collapsed onto their desks as soon as the job was done, catching sleep wherever they could.

She had no idea how long she'd been out.
When she finally woke, the fatigue was still there, but at least her mind felt a little clearer.
