The next day, Vera is talking to Teodoro and Beto at her father's apartment. They decided not to talk in the kitchen so as not to be caught by Pamela or Jeremiah."After he showered, Pamela got up immediately and took the clean clothes for Wallace to put on in the bathroom, to prevent Wallace from leaving the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist." Vera laughs, "Too bad, she didn't let me see the 'husband's' ripped body..."Beto no longer finds it so funny. "Watch out, sis, don't get contaminated by the promiscuous one.""Hey, we're talking about my future husband." Vera replies in a mocking tone, "I will see a lot more on the honeymoon."Beto purses his lips and Teodoro is embarrassed, "Calm down, dear daughter, one step at a time. No rush, so as not to spoil the plan.""I need to continue to come right at this time when he comes home from work." Vera goes on to say, "Coming here with her alone is not enough.""Now with me, th

Wallace is ready to leave for work when Pamela catches his eye. She is breastfeeding Caio. "Honey, how about we register our son as soon as possible?"Wallace stops walking and turns to her with a smile. "Yes, dear, we need to do this. My job... anyway, I'm going to talk to the supervisor and ask for tomorrow's day off so we can go out and go to the registry office."Pamela smiles with relief. She thinks that with Wallace registering Caio as his son, Josias would have no chance of taking her son. "And what's the full name?""We will call him Caio Chaves Freire, as it should be." Wallace shrugs, "Never that it will be Caio Rocha, because the other refuses to admit that he is a father, right?""Okay, let's get him out of the boy's life." Pamela snarls, "Caio will never know that he had a father who rejected him, the poor guy can grow up traumatized by that.""Well then, honey, I'm going to work. See you later." Wallace exchanges a light kiss on Pamel

At night, Josias is talking to the Campos family. He is sitting in Simeon's armchair while the others are on the sofa."And then, dear," Melissa asks, "What did Igor tell you?""He said the ideal option would be for William to be eighteen and have a stable life." Josias answers.William reacts discouraged. "By then, Wallace has already registered my son as his."Josias smiles and reassures him. "Don't worry, Will. Igor made sure this is not irreversible. The biological father always has more rights than his stepfather. It will be much better for you to fight for your son when you can provide for him. And preferably, married.""This is still going to take time," William responds with relief. The rest laugh."So it would be the case that we try." Simeon says, "Raymond agrees. Cristina is out of the cards.""Yes, Igor prefers that you plead for custody of the baby in court until William reaches the age of majority," Josias explains.

"Getting married, Pamela?" Wallace is gaping when he hears Pamela ask if he wants to marry her. "Have you become a lesbian? It's the man who asks the woman to marry him."Pamela takes offense at the question and crosses her arms. "So you're gay, because we have been dating for centuries, lived together, raised a child, but you never asked me to marry you! Do you want to stay like this all your life?"Wallace feels pummeled by the Reason. Pamela is right; they are already practically a family, without the required documentation!"Let's take advantage of that you have time off tomorrow to get married, so it will be easier for us to register Caio with your last name!" Pamela tries to coax him with some exasperation.It is Pamela's anxiety that makes Wallace curious. "Is something going on, Pamela? I agree that we need to get married, but that idea came a bit suddenly, don't you think?""There is nothing sudden!" Pamela snorts, pushes a chair, and sits

Josias narrows his eyes, trying to understand Pamela's last words. "What did you say? What did I get?""You won. Didn't want to be with Caio, take him on as a son? There, problem solved. You can have him."Josias widens his eyes in such a way that he is comical. "Are you completely out of your mind? Are you giving me Caio's custody just so I don't have to tell the truth to Wallace, so he can marry you?""Yeah!" Pamela speaks with emotion, tears are almost shedding, "Don't you understand, Josias? Marrying and being happy with Wally is the only thing I have left. Wally is the only man who respects me, who treats me with affection and dignity. You may even be right when you said that I don't feel love for him, but I still don't want to walk away from him! And that's what will happen if you or William opens the mouth."Pamela can't take it anymore and lets the tears spill down her face. Josias doesn't have time to get emotional; his mind is working, processin
