Rocha Mansion, sunny day. William visits his older sister and finds everyone still at the breakfast table. “What’s going on, guys? You’re waking up late, huh?” Simeon replies with his mouth full, “It’s you who’s waking up earlier than a farmer!” Everyone laughs. J.J. comments, “By the way, I should wake up early like Uncle Will.” William ruffles J.J.’s hair. “I still can’t get used to you being in the land of the living, man!” “One day reality will sink in,” J.J. joked. “I’m going to wait in the living room. I need to talk to my parents, Josias.” “Suit yourself.” Josias responded after swallowing his bread with scrambled eggs. William leaves, getting Dora and Simeon curious. “What does that boy want to talk to us about?” Dora wonders excitedly. “Does he want to talk about the leg?” Melissa suggests, “He’s been talking to Dr. Hogan, Dr. Silvana’s son.” “Let’s hope so.” Simeon sighs, “If even someone like Erasmo Vasquez is entitled to a divine miracle, what about my son, who

The Reis family enters Café Montanha, in a celebratory mood. Neil greets them. “What will it be today, family?” “We want grilled cheese with hot chocolate!” Maycon exclaims excitedly. Everyone laughs as Beto chooses a table. “My son, keep in mind that you won’t be able to eat this every day. We’re making an exception today because we’re celebrating.” “But if we celebrate every day...?” Maycon tries to be clever. Teresa kisses her son’s forehead. “Don’t push your luck.” Pedro approaches the counter to place the order. “Where’s Rod, Neil? Are you alone?” “Not exactly. There’s someone from the orphanage in the kitchen helping me,” Neilton explains as he grabs the order pad. “Mr. Mountain has retired, so to speak, and Rod is helping his wife at the Lafayette Supermarket.” “Oh, how interesting!” Pedro smiles. “Well, we’re celebrating that I don’t have heart problems for now.” “Excellent news. But it’s good not to overdo it on the grease and fried foods. Your younger brother’s ord

Kelvin and Karen’s wedding party took place at the Mountain Penthouse.It was a simple ceremony, without much fuss. Public opinion of Karen Britton was not the best; thus, to avoid individuals throwing tomatoes at the Green Park Church, Kelvin opted for an intimate ceremony. The couple formalized their union at the registry office and invited the rest to celebrate.In the living room, the sofas were removed, and the cake table was set up in their place.Karen, wearing a modest wedding dress, was cutting the first piece with Kelvin guiding her hand. The couple’s expressions were radiant, and Thierry didn’t hold back on the photos.The guests applauded and expressed wishes of happiness.“Very nice!”“Kiss! Kiss!”Kelvin took a spoon and put the first bite of cake into his wife’s mouth. More photos.Maggie leaned over to Bernardo. “They really seem like they were made for this. I don’t understand why they had such an unpleasant start.”“Maybe it was Angela’s influence,” Bernardo suggeste

Josias surprises Angela by saying she should leave when she expected him to ask her to stay. She gets up abruptly from the couch, looking at him accusingly. “What kind of nonsense is this, Josias? Do you want me to leave?” “You’re the one who asked for my modest opinion,” Josias replies without showing that he's mocking Angela. “I can’t believe this!” Angela is stunned, shaking her head. “All this time... It seems I haven’t moved beyond the status of ‘concubine’!” “Angela, that was a status the press invented to label you.” Josias frowns. “I never called you that even once. You and Katherine fought over the status of Mrs. Rocha, but truth be told: I’ve always loved Melissa.” “You married Katherine!” Angela points a finger at him. “Why can’t you marry me now?” “Can you really ask me something like that?” Josias shakes his head. “Woman, I’m still with Melissa. When I married Katherine, I didn’t have Melissa.” “And now you’re intent on supporting Kelvin’s marriage so he won’t go a

The next day. Ben and Neilton are flabbergasted by David’s announcement. “David, have you thought this through?” Benjamin asks, worried. “Yes, Ben. It’s time for me to move out. Is the rent becoming too high for you two?” Neilton shakes his head with a slight smile. “No, not at all. We have enough money to split the rent in half. Or, we could put an ad in the newspaper looking for a third guy. The question is you.” David sighs. “I’m moving into my mother’s apartment. She left to go back to Rio de Janeiro. And there’s more: I’ll be taking care of her stores.” Benjamin and Neilton remain apprehensive about David’s plans. “Are you going to tell your dad today?” Benjamin asks cautiously. “Yes, and I imagine he won’t be happy.” David scratches the back of his neck. “He wants you involved in his conglomerate businesses,” Neilton explains to him. “But Alan doesn’t want that. I know he’s eager to see me out. And right now, I have neither the strength nor the money to fight back. J.J.
