All Chapters of You Want Me Back? Sorry, Request Rejected: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It happened to be Elise Stanton's sixth wedding anniversary when she returned to Ravenport from Halston.She'd caught the flu before leaving Halston, and her cough was pretty bad. Still, she hadn't seen her husband, Calvin Fulton, and their twins for three months. That was why she'd insisted on returning to Ravenport anyway.The Fulton family was local to Ravenport. After generations, their business expanded into Halston, so the family moved there. Only the old family home, Serenity Estate, remained in Ravenport.When Elise arrived at Serenity Estate, a news alert popped up on her phone. "Mr. Fulton Spends Fortune on Bonfire Party for Best Actress, Sabrina Quill."Elise's expression cooled.The housekeeper at Serenity Estate was from Halston. When she saw the headline, she quickly tried to comfort Elise. "The tabloids love to make things up, Mrs. Fulton. Please don't take it to heart. Mr. Fulton is tied up with work tonight."Elise didn't say anything. She'd texted Calvin before

Calvin ended the call in the next second. He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows in the house at Ravenport, a faint trace of displeasure crossing his impossibly handsome face. He glanced at his brand-new phone, ultimately deciding against calling the number at the top of the screen.Back at the chapel, his phone and SIM card had both been smashed. He'd originally wanted to tell Elise about it. She was his wife, after all. But it seemed that the preferential treatment she'd enjoyed these past few years had given her a bit of a temper, so he wanted to teach her a lesson.Elise was oblivious to this. After a full night's rest, she went to Fulton Group and handed in her resignation.Things went smoothly. When Calvin had first put her on the books, it had only been in a small, nominal position. No one in the company actually knew who she really was. So as long as she finished handing over her work, she could leave.When her coworkers found out she was quitting, they couldn't help

Elise looked up after hearing what Shannon said. Her lashes fluttered slightly as she stared at the pieces on display.Shannon arched a brow. "Steele Group has been pouring money into developments and partnerships on modern remakes of the classical arts, from jewelry to clothing. That's exactly what you're good at. Come back, Liss."Elise was no stranger to the Steele Group Shannon mentioned. The company had grown fast over the past two years, especially in manufacturing. Their head, Jeremiah Steele, was young but notoriously ruthless and had long-term vision.It didn't surprise her that Shannon wanted to hitch Primero to Steele Group and blaze a trail in modernizing the classical arts. It was just that… could she really go back?She was still thinking it over when a cool, arrogant voice rang out not far away. "Elise? Why are you here instead of taking care of Mom?"The speaker was Candace Fulton, Calvin's younger sister and one of the city's golden girls. Ever since Elise married

Elise felt like her blood had turned to ice. Her fingers were numb as she called Regina. She just wanted to ask what was going on.On the other end of the line, Regina was holding a rag doll and leaning into Sabrina as they took selfies. When she saw the caller ID, she arched a delicate brow, a flicker of annoyance flashing in her eyes.The phone rang for a long time. Sabrina gently reminded her, "Gina, it's your mommy calling. Aren't you going to take the call?"Regina shook her head. "Mommy is so annoying. If I pick up, she'll just nag and ask a million questions. I don't want that!"She declined the call, stopping the endless ringing. Then, she turned to complain to Rowan. "See, Rowan? I told you we shouldn't have unblocked Mommy's number. Look how long it took before she started blowing up our phone again. I don't know what you're so scared of.""I'm not scared of anything! I just said Mommy might've forgotten to tell us something. You're the one who unblocked her!" Rowan soun

Elise had asked a nurse to help change the munchkin's IV drip. Half-awake, the munchkin had mistaken Elise for someone else and grabbed her hand, calling her "Mommy"."Thanks, Izzy." Elise took the tissue that the little girl, Isabel Steele, kindly offered. For the first time in days, she showed a genuine smile.Isabel suddenly clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oh my gosh. Pretty lady, you look like a glowing fairy when you smile. You have to smile more!"Elise's smile widened because of her pure, earnest compliment."Too bad Daddy already has Mommy." Isabel shook her head and sighed dramatically. Then, something seemed to occur to her, and her eyes lit up. "How about you marry my uncle instead? He doesn't have a wife yet!"Elise couldn't help laughing, her eyes crinkling as she used a small comb to smooth Isabel's hair. "Izzy, I'm already married."Isabel's face fell. "Huh? You're married? Well, you're so pretty. Of course you have a husband. But why isn't he here to see you? When
