All Chapters of My Sweet Poor Joel: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Hello Sweetheart", Joel says seductively, immediately Estelle answers the call. She blushed at the sound of his voice. They have been married for almost two years but every day seems to be a door to something new in their relationship. There is always something amazing about her sweet Joel."Hi Darling, Jolene slept a few minutes ago. Wanna video chat?" Joel froze. A video call will uncover his whereabouts. "Not now, still taking care of a few things b but..let me, like call you back in a few minutes. We can video chat like, then." Estelle was tired already and knew she will doze off by then."Never mind, another time." She yawns.Romeo was sensitive. From her tone, he knew two things. She was either angry or tired. He preferred the latter. "Don't be angry with me, you kn-""Am not angry with you. I have something to tell you but it's not urgent. It can wait till you come back."Joel was taken aback. Estelle was more important to him than a

Estelle did not answer immediately. Aside from how disgusted she felt, she never expected Joel to be home at this time. Her tears were overtaken with shock. Joel was getting impatient when she kept silent. Fear overtook every rational in him. 'What if something has happened to her?'"sweetheart, if you don't open up, I will break down this door". He was able to hide his fears and his voice was soft. However, Estelle knew that he was very serious and will break down the door. Her voice was so husky from her tears, therefore, she didn't want to speak. She stepped out of the bathtub and after wrapping herself in a towel and splashing water on her face, she headed to the door. Joel was completely out of patience and was about to do his worst when the door jerked open.He frowned at the sight of her. Her eyes were red and swollen. Her cheeks and nose red from crying. He pulls her into his arms before asking."What happened?" His plan of soaking in the tub with her was complete

Estelle was drowned in another swam of tears. Life is too cruel. She will never be able to understand how she found herself in this situation. Yet, she had to shoulder the guilt and take responsibility for such an immoral act. As the days went by, Joel never came home. She will go to the office and come home to her child. After putting her said to sleep, she will continue in a pool of tears and cry herself to sleep. There was no one to comfort her but the silence of her room.Joel on the other hand spent a few days with his parents and left to Pete's to avoid suspicions. He could not face his wife. He felt like the guilty one. He will go home at odd times, most probably lunchtime to see his child. At the office, he will occupy himself with a lot of work to prevent his mind from wandering.Anthony began playing the good guy. Not only was he extra nice and respectful to Estelle but also promoted Joel. To his amazement, Joel accepted the promotion with reasons o

A week went by and things seemed to have returned to normal. Estelle desperately wanted to resign but she had to work for four more days. These four days seemed to her like four months. She was restless. She has been playing her role well by being nice to Anthony, even to the extent of buying him lunch sometimes. He will sometimes ask her to have lunch out with him but she always turned him down politely with brilliant excuses, not arousing any form of suspicion.Within this time, Anthony, being engrossed with Estelle's niceness, has left his hems loose, thereby signing some documents without reading. Even those he read had been altered without his knowledge. He trusted blindly. Being moved by her kind gesture, he ordered Pizza, specially for her. In his bid to surprise her, he didn't ask for her preference. Taste buds can vehemently change during pregnancy and Estelle's was no different. Her first pregnancy was easy but she couldn't say the same for this one. She

Joel listened silently as she continued to curse incessantly till words began to fail her. "Jerk, I should have known it was too good to be true. You couldn't just accept me like that. You moron. You- " when Joel had heard enough, he sealed her lips with his. She tried defeatedly by pushing him away but he only tightened his grip till she completely relaxed. Slowly, he pulled away "How can you even think that I will leave you? Do you think Anthony will continue playing the good guy if he sees the effects of the documents you made him sign? And what makes you think that I will chase you, woo you, and love you all these years just to let you go because of the incessant greed of an awful scambag, who holds no value for moral standards?" "Use your brain, Honey. I am sending you overseas with our child for your safety. I sent my mom and dad off yesterday. You know what I mean?" Naturally, she knew what he meant. The biological father of the baby in her belly is An
