A few more days passed. At George and Carla's apartment, the doorbell is rung. Carla shows up in casual clothes to answer."Who is it?""It's Taddeo."Carla opens the door with a smile, "Taddeo! What a surprise. Come in, George is taking a shower."Taddeo comes in very excited, "So glad I found you guys. This Sunday is a very hot day, begging us to go to the beach.""But that's exactly what we did." Carla gestures for Taddeo to sit down, "We went to the beach and came back not long ago."The bathroom door opens and George comes out just wearing a towel around his waist and using another one to dry his hair, "Dad? Did something happen or is it just a Sunday visit?"Taddeo chuckles, "Need a serious reason to visit my son?""Well, of course not." George smiles."Well then, I do have something important to say. I hope you two can forgive me for not waiting." Taddeo makes suspense.Carla already takes her cell phone, "I'm waiting, future father-in-law.""Marianne and I have decided to get

On the edge of the beach, Laura is overwhelmed by the intimate questions that Eduardo is asking amid countless beachgoers. Some of them managed to hear the inappropriate words and push their children away from them.Laura grits her teeth, "Cool, Eddie! Keep up those outrageous questions. I'll lend you a megaphone!""I just want to make sure I can spread out the wedding invitations without finding out you're carrying someone else's child.""Weren't you going to say 'Jacob' baby?" Laura widens her eyes."Not exactly." Eduardo takes a firm stance, "Laura, I need to know: was I the only lover you had while you were married to Reggie? You know very well that YOU weren't my only woman."Laura is shocked and gets up from the bench, "Let's not have this conversation here, in the middle of everyone!"Eduardo also gets up, "OK, then let's talk while we walk, or let's go to my loft.""Your loft would be better." Laura frowns.The two leave the beach promenade and cross the avenue to go to the bu

Monday is the day Marianne and Taddeo exchange wedding vows.Laura's apartment is set with a table showing a pastry cake appropriate for the occasion.Marianne is shown wearing a long white cocktail dress to serve as a wedding dress. She didn't necessarily want to wear one to keep the occasion simple.Laura comes out of the room in her knee-length, sleeveless red dress, putting on emerald earrings, “Mother, you look very beautiful.”“Thank you, my darling.” Marianne smiles, “Hopefully enough for Carla to share in her vlog.”“Let's start the party!” Laura goes to the dresser and takes out her cell phone. She fires up a playlist and turns up the volume. The apartment is filled with Shania Twain’s love ballads.The bell is rung. Laura goes to answer it and finds Carla and George.For a few seconds, Laura scans George's gorgeous body which remains evident even though he is wearing a purple cotton shirt and black dress pants. The shirt fit and molded his physique perfectly, it's like he's

The justice of the peace asks, "Do the bride and groom want to say anything? Or can we go for the vows?"Taddeo jokes, "I think everyone already knows what we're going to say. Who hasn't heard?"Everyone breaks into laughter. Marianne laughs through her tears.Taddeo kisses one of Marianne's hands, "Well, as I'm new to this circle of friends, it's best to explain to those who don't know me yet. I knew this beautiful woman in my youth, but unfortunately, our paths didn't cross. I thought that I would never see my first crush again. But as I recovered from a stroke, it seems that God took pity on me and reintroduced me to her, and now here we are, fixing and fulfilling what could have been in the past. I am so happy for the second chance and for meeting you again, Marianne."Marianne feels compelled to say something, "Unfortunately, I suffered a lot with your absence. I don't regret having my daughter Laura, she is the best thing that happened to me during these long years. But that's i

On Tuesday, Antonio and Sabrina are in the Ferreira Mansion dining room having breakfast. Sabrina proceeds to check her cell phone for the latest gossip.When she looks at a certain article, her eyes widen in revolt."Dear!" Sabrina exclaims, "Your ex-wife already married someone else!"Antonio gets furious. He slams his fork down on his plate and glares at her, "Do you still believe in fake news?""So let's send Carla Fortunato to the fact-checking agencies." Sabrina wryly retorts, "There's even live video, how could that be fake?""Marianne swore she didn't have a lover, how could she have gotten married so quickly?" Antonio roars.Sabrina smirks, "Probably the same way you got married so quickly, huh?""It's different with me, I'm a man!" Antonio repeats the macho litany, "Marianne has no right to remake her life with another male, I’ll never allow that!"In a burst of fury, Antonio knocks the plate of scrambled eggs with bacon and the cup of coffee with milk to the floor.
