Chapter 26 - When he doesn't make sense
If Joel's analysis serves him right, then his encounter with Brittanny at the bar wasn't a mere coincidence. She had planned everything and he stupidly fell for it. He knew that there was no way Pete would have sent those pictures to Estelle and there was no familiar person present as well. Brittanny planned it all. He thought himself outrageous that she had changed from the last time but now, it only seems different. He decided to tell the whole truth he knew.
"It's not what you think. I went to the bar with Pete. I just wanted to let off some steam." Estelle, hearing those words quickly jumped to a conclusion.
"Of course, letting out some steam by laying my mess on the table in some bar right?" She said irritably.
"I will never do that. I never said anything about our marriage. We only talked about stuff that will take my mind off my problems. Honestly, I just wanted to spend a little more time with Pete because I knew I might not see him again for years to come.

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?"
