All Chapters of My Sweet Poor Joel: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The week moved on fast and there were no major activities as everyone was preparing for the exams. Estelle and her friends spent most of their time in the library, but she did make time for Joel. Their discussions were short and brief. They were straight-A students and wanted to keep it that way. Soon it was time for Estelle to leave for Paris and Joel chaperoned her to the airport. Even though she promised to return in two days, Joel doubted it but didn't tell her, and kisses her goodbye.Before he drives out of the Airport, someone taps on his window and he winds down his window glass, thinking it might be security or something important. To his amazement, Brittany was standing there smiling innocently."Are you stalking me?" he asks furiously."Yes, to be honest," She says, directing her gaze to the floor. Joel was still angry with her for making the police arrest Estelle but gave her a listening ear regardless."May I know why?" He asks impatiently.

Joel kept staring as if he has seen a ghost. There was something about the woman he just saw. Sure she didn't have the same hair color as Estelle and her eye-lashes were longer and she was also dressed too extravagant but what he couldn't understand was the attraction he felt towards her. It was the same thing he felt for Estelle and he couldn't understand. She looked like her in a way and yet, so different.Also, he couldn't believe Pierro Montanna and his wife, Adelaide Montanna was here. He has always wanted to meet Pierro. He was more of a role model to him and since the girl standing in front of him was his daughter as he said, it means it's not his Estelle. But wait, did he know her parents? What if?"Joel!" Brittany yells, bringing him back to himself, but too loud, in that, it draws the attention of others, including Estelle and her parents, who looked in their direction. "I've called you for the 7th time, she says with disappointment. He was supposed

"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

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

"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
