All Chapters of You Want Me Back? Sorry, Request Rejected: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Calvin even sent a photo. It showed Rowan lying on the bed, his face abnormally flushed from his fever. His brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked like he was having an awful time.Elise's heart tightened. She stared at the photo for a long time. In the end, however, she forced down the worry and heartache, long-pressing on the photo to delete it.Then, after replying to Calvin, she quit the app.At the hospital, Calvin's eyes darkened with anger upon receiving Elise's first message in three days. She'd vanished for three whole days, and when she finally replied, it was with something as detached as, "I'm not a doctor. He likes chicken soup when he's sick, so get a chef to prepare it ahead of time."That was it? She was heartless!He called her, his voice tight with fury. "Elise, where are you?""At home."He ground his teeth. The maids at the marital home had been on standby for three days straight. Not once had Elise shown up.Lies. Nothing but lies!His anger burned hot

Regina started to feel resentful and took it out on Elise. "Mommy, either you show up first thing, or you don't come at all. This is so annoying, you know! You only brought the soup now—Rowan and Sabrina are already all better!"If Elise had shown up earlier, she could've taken care of Rowan, and no one would've stolen Sabrina from her!"Elise, the kids are still young. Don't take their words to heart." Sabrina bit her lip, feigning anxiety as she rushed to explain.Elise merely smiled and asked, "Are you done?"Without waiting for them to answer, she stabbed at the button for the tenth floor. The doors quickly slid shut, making the four shocked faces vanish from her line of sight.She let out a breath of relief. This was much better.She knocked on the ward door, but there was no response from inside. She waited a bit and confirmed no one was there. Then, she texted Jordan.S: "Something came up, but the door isn't locked. Go in and wait for me. I'll be right back."Out of hab

The chill in Elise's eyes was like a blade, cutting through everyone present. She fixed her gaze on Helen and said, "Mom, I've always respected you as an elder, and this is my last time addressing you this way. If you really can't stand me that much, then have your son hurry up and agree to a divorce."Helen was rattled by the look in her eyes. For a moment, she forgot how to speak. How had Elise turned into something this frightening in just a few days?"Oh, right. Why don't you ask your precious grandson and your precious son why his fever still hasn't broken after so long?"Elise stood in front of the group with her arms crossed, her delicate chin tilted up slightly. Even with a shocking red handprint across her face, there was nothing pitiful or yielding about her stance.At her words, the looks on both Calvin's and Rowan's faces changed. Calvin's gaze turned cold. "Watch what you say."He knew what had actually happened, but Rowan was the Fulton family's future heir. This sor

This was the umpteenth time.The sting in Elise's cheek was still throbbing in waves, impossible to ignore.Jordan dropped the smile. His eyes fixed on the handprint on her face, and he asked coolly, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the room? Why didn't you go in?"Keith had just rushed back and stumbled upon this scene. He immediately wished he could shove himself back into the elevator.Good grief. Jordan had raced back here, and he still hadn't made it in time!"Just standing there and taking the hit without fighting back—if I didn't know better, I'd think you were into a pretty niche kink, Ms. Stanton," Jordan continued.Elise bit her lip, a strange stuffiness burning in her nose. When Helen had slapped her just now, she hadn't wanted to cry. When Calvin had taken Helen's side and even chased after Sabrina as she watched, she still hadn't wanted to cry.But somehow, Jordan's words made her chest clench so hard that it hurt. He probably thought she was a burden now.She sniffle

While she waited for Jordan to change his clothes, Elise took the chance to check her phone. She saw that Calvin had left her a couple of messages not long ago.Calvin: "Come back to the marital home, Elise. We need to talk."Calvin: "It's about the agreement. My offer isn't permanent."Elise's nails pressed so hard into her phone that her fingertips turned white. So, he'd received the divorce papers. Thank goodness they hadn't gone missing.She sighed. After a long moment of hesitation, she waited until Jordan and Isabel had finished changing and came back out before apologizing and taking her leave."I'm sorry about this. Next time, it's my treat.""Pretty lady, is it something super important?" Isabel tugged pitifully at the hem of Elise's shirt."Yeah, it is," Elise said, gently stroking her soft cheek. Then, she turned to Jordan and bit her lip. "I need to go, Mr. Steele. I'll figure something out about the surgery as soon as I can."Jordan lowered his gaze to the file in
