Chapter 13 - It's him, isn't he?
Estelle felt her heart fall out of her chest, the moment she saw Joel walk out, hand in hand with Brittanny. She trusts him with her life but this? The shattering sound of glass fetched her back to reality, as the glass of wine she was holding had fallen out of her hand, making the shattering sound. She bent to pick it but was stopped by Anthony before two waiters came to clean up the mess.
"Are you alright?" She heard Anthony's concerned voice but she felt irritated instead.
Nonchalantly, she responded, "Yes, am fine, thank you."
"Should I get you another glass of wine? Anthony asked.
"No, I think I had enough wine."
"That was the first glass of wine you had this evening. It's about the guy who just left, isn't it? His voice was laced with jealousy.
"What makes you think it's because of him?" She asked defensively.
"You never focussed on our conversation and kept stealing glances at him. Who is he to you?"
"I am very sorry

"It's him, isn't it?" Estelle thought to dig a pit and bury herself when she heard the deep voice behind her.""Who dad?" Estelle asked, swimming in embarrassment, as she tries to avert her father's piercing gaze, not knowing her father had seen everything that transpired, and also heard her conversation with her mum."Don't be silly, Estelle," He was irritated at her act. Her dad doesn't call her by her name so calling her name precisely only meant this was a matter of all seriousness."I honestly don't know what you are talking about." Estelle denies, lowering her gaze."Don't play smart with me, you silly girl. Do you think am dumb? I have observed how you kept looking at the guy my investee's daughter introduced as her boyfriend." His words were startling and Estelle didn't conceal her surprise and stood cold because she trusted Joel and wanted to hear his part of the story, before taking any decision."I also heard everything you said to your mum a

Joel sat on the edge of the bed, facing her directly. Estelle had more questions to ask but found it needless, remembering her phone had been switched off the entire time she was in Paris and didn't also call to tell him she had arrived. She had no one else to blame but herself. She felt Joel's face turn hard at the question which made her fidget like a little child.

At the Montana mansion, Joel waited nervously for her father-in-law to descend the stairs. He looked rather elegant in his white shirt and black suit, which could not cover his uneasiness. He could hear his heart beating rapidly.Estelle sat beside him in a knee-length, simple black dress and matching shoes. She looked beautiful but was lost in despair. She couldn't understand why it was taking her father this long to come down. They have been waiting for almost two hours and she had already gone to call him in twice. She knows that he did not like Joel, from what happened at the party but she had to do as he had asked her."No matter what happens, we are adults and we can make our own decisions," she whispered to Joel," who responded with a sigh.The living room in the Montana mansion was filled with all the luxuries from different countries. Joel, who was a lover of good things, made an exception this time. He couldn't bring himself to admire anything. The
My Sweet Poor Joel Chapter 17 - Where is she?
Estelle turned around, giving her full attention to her dad. She glinted with hope, that he will change his mind."Don't do this. Anthony is a fine young man, who will take very good care of you. Don't waste your life away." Hearing her father's words destroyed her last bit of hope. So it was all because of Anthony. She turned around with disappointment and left without another word."She left, she left. You have to stop her". Mrs. Montana entreats her husband, seeing her daughter walk out the door with a stranger. Mr. Montana was indifferent to her plea. After all, he just wants to give her a good life. If she doesn't want it, he can't do much about it."Don't worry, she will come back. She can't be that stupid. She will soon realize her mistake and come begging." He said it confidently but there were traces of sadness poking his face. He was only trying to comfort her.Estelle and Joel checked into a hotel after booking the next available flight to New York

"Relax Dude, Paris is her home. She can never get lost if she wanted to. She just left everything and run off when she saw me approach the store". Anthony said absentmindedly.Joel stared at him for a while and without a word, he walks over to the counter where Estelle dropped off the items she had picked and pays for them. After receiving the packaged items, he walks out of the store, not noticing the frown on Anthony's face."Hey, if you care about her so much, then let her go. You can't afford to take care of her. Why do you have to make her suffer?" Anthony sneered behind him. Joel wanted to ignore him but thought it will encourage him to continue throwing trash his way."There are things about love that people like you will never be able to understand. Life is not all about money. I hope you realize it one day but if you don't mind, I have a wedding to plan, so please excuse me," He said in a mocking tone and left the shop.Anthony gets furious and walks
My Sweet Poor Joel Chapter 19 - Life's blessings.
Soon, shopping and planning were over. Estelle walked down the aisle of a simple, garden wedding. Even her gown was very simple and less costly. She prioritized her love over all the money in the world. Joel couldn't force her into a lavish wedding and into picking a luxurious gown without having much to explain so he accepted things just as they were.Despite the simplicity of the wedding, everything was so beautiful. Aside from Joel's parents and Estelle's friends, only a few people attended, who were few good friends from college. Estelle never felt bad for her parents not attending. She knew they wouldn't come anyway.When Joel chose a location for their honeymoon, Estelle thought it was too expensive so Joel surprised her with a four-bedroom luxurious house, where they spent their honeymoon. He made her understand that it was a wedding gift and all documents were in her name."Who gifted us this house?" Estelle's mind started going wild. Joel only told h

Estelle froze at the sight of the man sitting on the CEO's desk. An unconscious frown appeared on her face as she stood at the doorway."What do you want?" Anthony was rather relaxed, as compared to Estelle, who saw him as being despicable. The former CEO shared his office with her because he was hardly in the office and she had to scan and send documents to him through email. Most of the documents were confidential so it made perfect sense to share his office but now, it seems to be the worst feeling she ever had.Anthony curls his lips slightly into a smile and raises his legs on the desk with his hands behind the back of his neck. "Wow, relax, I am here to work okay. Just like you. Anyway, you look beautiful in that dress. It reveals your curves very well."Estelle cursed inwardly and ignored his lustful compliment. "So you knew I work here?" She gritted her teeth in annoyance.Anthony was nonchalant. "Of course. That's why I accepted to take over from my father.
