Chapter 2006 João Paulo Is Not a Baby Anymore
Elza enters the Rocha Hotel and finds Jane directing the maids with cleaning.“Girls, you cannot wear the same cloth all the time.

Use a different cloth for each occasion, and then the furniture will be 100% clean.”“Thank you for the advice, Mrs. Motta.” One of the maids bows like she's Japanese.“Glad you understand.” The maids leave and Jane finds Elza, “Hello, Elza! How is your day?”“Very worried.” Elza lets out a sigh, “My baby has barely started labor and already fought with I don’t know who.”Jane laughs, “Elza, from what you've told me, João Paulo is no longer a baby.
