Teodoro is washing the lunch dishes with the radio on. He is whistling the song "My Kind of Lady" by Supertramp. Vera stomps into the kitchen and turns off the radio.Teodoro notices the song being interrupted and turns to see who turned off the radio. "Oh, it's you, daughter.""Are you satisfied? I've been told that Wally is unconscious in the hospital, with an arm in a cast and an eye so black and swollen it doesn't want to open it!" Vera roars with her arms crossed.Teodoro turns off the faucet of the sink and turns to his daughter, shaking his wet hands. "Daughter, you need to understand that your brother would do the same thing to anyone who violated you.""But none of that happened, what the hell!" Vera stamps her foot."However, your brother's reaction was indispensable to our plan. When Wallace recovers, he'll keep thinking he had the first time with you and will marry you. Then he'll discard Pamela as the bitch she is!"Vera calms d

That night, Melissa and William decided to show up at the hospital to find out about Wallace. The family along with Josias awaits news in the hallway.Doctor Silvana approaches them and reassures them: "Family Freire?""We are here, doctor." Harold introduces himself."I'm Dr. Silvana. I came to inform you that Wallace no longer has any problems other than those that have already been identified. No hidden fractures or internal bleeding."Everyone is relieved that the situation has not gotten worse."How will my boy's recovery be, Doctor?" Isabel asks in a pleading tone."He will be here in the hospital for a few days under observation, treating the wounds on his face and his arm in a cast. Depending on the speed of his recovery, he will be released next week, but his arm will be in a cast for at least three weeks.""I'm glad my boy lives with us." Isabel is relieved, "Imagine if he were alone in Teodoro's building, who would do thing

After leaving the ladies' room with her face washed, Vera questions Beto about the progress of the plan."Beto, what's going on? Again you and Dad leave me out of the next steps. I am completely lost!"Beto smiles lightly: "Calm down, little sister. Our father wants genuine reactions. He explained to me that nothing happened between you and Wallace, but he let me react in anger for my actions to be true. That way, Wallace can't accuse me of faking it. And now, your equally genuine reaction of shock and surprise has left the Freire family feeling sorry for you. You can be sure that they will forgive the fact that you 'bedded' their son and will still promote you as their daughter-in-law.""Will Pamela give up so easily?" Vera is incredulous."She said she was determined to end the courtship while we were coming here." He replies confidently."Then let's wait for Wally to recover, the dust to settle so I can continue with my part of the plan." Vera s

A few weeks have passed, and Teodoro is precisely listening to Culture Club's "Time (The Clock of the Heart)" on the usual radio. As he updates the bulletin board and wonders if he should put Wallace's apartment up for rent, he appears with his family.Teodoro stops whistling as if losing all the air in his lungs. He did not expect to see Wallace again with his face deflated and his arm now in a sling."Hello, Seu Teodoro!" Harold greets him cheerfully, "My son is back! He's moving back into his apartment."Teodoro sees a huge suitcase in Uélton's hand and another smaller suitcase in Isabel's hand."Ah, how wonderful!" Teodoro barely disguises his surprise, "And how are you feeling, young man?"Wallace replies: "Ready for another, as they say." Was there a tone of debauchery and defiance in his words?Teodoro feels chills run down his spine. He clears his throat and helps Isabel with her suitcase.As they enter the apartment, W

Simeon and William are eating lunch sitting on empty paint cans. Simeon's pot is steaming and the smell of chicken leg seasoned with olive oil and curry makes everyone else float away."Gee, Dad, Mom didn't prepare my chicken so fancy." William jokingly comments."It's because I'm her man." Simeon replies overflowing with pride, "When you marry Stacy, she will do the same.""I expect Natalia to prepare me a lamb loin with spices." Uélton daydreams.William falls into laughter. "She barely spoke to you at the hospital, and look it was your brother who was hospitalized!"Uélton shrugs. "Better that way, no flash romance. Let's get to know each other little by little and slowly. In 1987 you will receive the wedding invitation."Josias appears just as they are talking about marriage. He looks around. The room that promises to be the master bedroom is already plastered and the floor is laid. The window is in place and the electrical
