You Want Me Back? Sorry, Request Rejected のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Elise's gaze turned icy, the hand at her side clenching tight. "What gives you the right, Calvin?"Arthur had been a master of classic arts. That massive painting had taken him years to complete, all so he could give it to her as a wedding gift. Because the frame was so large, she'd left it behind when moving out and hadn't managed to pick it up yet.Before this, Sabrina had casually mentioned to Calvin that she was about to shoot a period drama and wanted to borrow that painting for the set.Even if Elise had cast aside her dignity due to her love for Calvin, she still hadn't agreed to lend out that painting. She never imagined he would actually go this far over this incident.Sabrina was ecstatic inside, but on the surface, she still pretended to reluctantly compromise. "Elise, if you really like that painting so much, just think of it as me borrowing it from you. I'll return it once I finish filming."Calvin didn't think it was a big deal. "It's just a painting. I'll have someo

Calvin's brows unfurled when he heard that, and he started to walk toward Elise. But right then, Regina shouted, "Daddy, Sabrina fainted!"Calvin stopped and whirled around, hurrying back toward Sabrina.The hospital staff and the police soon arrived, and the crisis was wrapped up in no time."That woman found out that when she was almost due that her husband was sleeping with her best friend. Their older daughter even helped them keep it from her. She got so worked up that she lost the baby on the spot. Her mental state's been off ever since. No one knows what set her off today…"That was what Elise learned from the hospital staff when she later woke up. The crazy woman's insanity had been the last straw that broke her.Elise bit her lip. "I don't have the right to decide whether to press charges. The man who saved me is the one who got hurt. You should be asking him what he thinks.""Thing is, he already left. He told us to check with you on how to handle it," the staff member

The Royal Academy of Arts was every designer's dream school.Even now, Elise could still recall how excited she'd been when she got the acceptance letter. Yet that single spot to study abroad had ended up slipping through her fingers when she missed the flight because Sylvia had gotten the date wrong.And the next day, when she saw Jenny posting updates about daily life at the academy all over her social media, it became clear to her what exactly had happened.Gregory and his family had leeched off Elise's parents' legacy like parasites, draining away everything they'd left behind, including her education.She ignored Gregory and Sylvia's fake attempts to keep her from leaving and moved out that very night. In the end, getting into Jilton College's design faculty had at least put a small, belated bow on her original dream."Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?" Jenny spat.Elise snapped out of her memories and looked at her as she stood there, blocking her path with her chin ti

Elise didn't suspect anything. None of this seemed out of the ordinary to her.Keith, on the other hand, was stunned. He watched the scene, his eyes bulging in disbelief. Had Mars crashed into Earth, or had a black hole been plugged by asteroids?Jordan was calmly drinking the soup that he hated most like it was nothing!As a top-tier secretary, Keith's professional curiosity instantly went into overdrive.Jordan shot him a sidelong glance. "You seem very free, Keith."Keith smiled. "I just remembered there's an urgent document back at the office that needs to be signed, Mr. Steele. I'll get going."After lying through his teeth, he bolted from the room. Hector had carefully selected so many marriage prospects for Jordan, yet he'd overlooked one category entirely—married women.Jordan had practiced restraint for years now. The moment he snapped, he wanted to go for something so astounding.Keith had caught every detail with his perfect vision. Just now, while Elise was feeding

Elise couldn't help laughing at Isabel's straightforward thinking. "You've got a point."Isabel's eyes lit up in delight. Great—Elise really was getting a divorce. Yay!…Rowan tried calling Elise a few more times, but each call was declined. This was Elise's first time rejecting his calls since getting him this phone. And she'd done it so many times, too!He trudged out of the hospital feeling a little hurt, only to see Elise holding Isabel, whom he found annoying, in her arms. She even smiled gently at her.In the past, Elise only smiled at him and Regina like that.Rowan clenched his fists as he deliberately walked right past them. Elise saw him and habitually called out, "Ro?"He ignored her on purpose, huffing as he lifted his chin and marched forward. Whenever he was upset before, Elise would always find a way to appease him. He'd already caught a glimpse of the food container in her hand as well as the insulated thermal flask she usually used for soup.She sure liked to
