2021-06-05 19:08:53Melissa narrows her eyes even more. Carmen had asked for secrecy on the subject of pregnancy, but now Josias is repeating the story. How did he find out about that?
"Was that the story she was telling me before I showed up?" Josias asks, also with a cold face.
"My love, Carmen had asked me to keep the secret. How did you find out?" Melissa asks instead of answering directly.
"She showed up just yesterday, making the biggest scandal and slapping me twice. She insinuated that I was the father." Josias shakes hands to Melissa, "But, that is a lie, dear! I love you, I would not suffer as much to have you as a girlfriend as I suffered for right after cheating on you, and even more so with your best friend!"
"No, of course not," Melissa has a strange expression, "if you were to betray me, it would be with a completely unknown person; so that I won't find out so easily."
Josias is startled. That was not what he meant.
"You are distorting what I sai

But, the smile didn't last long when Pamela saw that Josias remained rough and cold.Josias approaches menacingly and Pamela feels shivers down her spine. "Do you still smile when you know exactly what I came to talk about?""Don't do anything stupid, or I'll scream for help!" Pamela speaks with fear, "My sister was kicked out of here without ceremony.""I bet she gave you a well-deserved concealer." Josias is not intimidated."Say what you want and get out of here, this is a place of rest and recovery." Pamela looks away."Do you want to tell me why you lied to your sister that I was the father of your stillborn baby?" Josias asks, the words coming out laden with contempt.Pamela just smiles wryly, not car
Building My Life Chapter 123 Back Home
A week goes by. Monday is Pamela's day back to Happiness Slum.It was with great displeasure that Pamela received the news from Dr. Silvana that she would be discharged the next day. And it was with great embarrassment that Pamela received a sheet of paper, on it was written a referral from the doctor to the Gynecology sector; so that Pamela could better deal with this unusual situation of the interrupted pregnancy.The doctor wanted to make sure that Pamela's reproductive system had not suffered permanent trauma, but Pamela was so terrified that she kept the paper in the bottom of her trouser pocket and did not tell Mrs. Chaves about it.The cast of the leg was removed, but it was agreed that Pamela would continue to be careful as she steps, leaning on crutches when she is at home.

After they finished talking, Josias and Uélton decide to leave, since they have nothing else to do in Tiago's new house. They go to the sidewalk and admire the fully built house. The single-stored house with colonial roof tile and a wall made of blocks has nothing to do with the other rectangular and dull houses that surround it. It looks like someone took this house from Saint Gabriel and put it there."Man, it is good for Mr. Bento to put an alarm system in this house; otherwise it will be robbed every day." Uélton, as always, makes jokes about everything."Do you think he doesn't think about that? Whoever has a nice house in this place, unfortunately, catches the attention of a thug. So there's no use for us to have a better life in here." Josias concludes with a regretful tone, "That's why I want to raise my family in another neighborhood. I intend to talk to Melissa about it.""Well, I'm going home." Uélton pulls Josias by the shirt, "D

Wallace pleads, "Why does everything have to be taken as a joke?""Life is too boring to be taken seriously, brother!" Uélton stops laughing. "We are going to dinner, and you apologize to Josias."Wallace is alarmed and reacts like a cornered animal. "Wow, what do you mean? Apologize to Josias? He's the one who has to apologize; not me! How about Melissa?""Stop that idea, brother, I put my hand on the fire and I swear that Josias was not cheating on Melissa, especially with Pamela! It's something so easy to discover.""Ah, so the problem is to be found out, is that why Josias doesn't risk sleeping with Pamela?" Wallace's voice is filled with irony.Uélton, in a rare fit of seriousness, crosses his arms and glares at Wallace. "Listen here, my brother: I don't say that Josias is capable, but if on

The next day, Josias is having breakfast with Teodoro. Today there is no service at Tiago's house, so Josias is wearing a normal shirt and casual shorts."Son, I want to ask you something, but you don't have to accept it." Teodoro pulls out a chair and sits down, somewhat afraid to anger Josias, "I know that now you have nothing to do, so I thought you could help me tidy up the backyard. It doesn't have to be today, maybe tomorrow..."Josias smiles at him. He wanted to take the day off, and Teodoro is embarrassed to ask for this favor."You can relax, Seu Teodoro. I could help you today.""No, son, leave it for tomorrow. Today is your first day off after many months.

"Josias," Romualdo asks after clearing his throat, "don't tell me you prefer to keep working as you are!" "If so, we will be disappointed," Tiago tries to argue. "We feel that you have the capacity to grow in life." Josias after hearing these and other attempts by the two masters to dissuade him from the idea, smiles, and gestures for them to be silent. "Gentlemen, please," Josias explains in a comical tone, "I did not come here to refuse the offer. In fact, I came here to confirm. Remember that I promised to think better." Romualdo and Tiago sigh in relief. Then they laugh at themselves for being so apprehensive. "Yes, you promised to think better." Romualdo remembers, "And you asked your friends and girlfriend."

Her dance partner, a close friend of sixteen, guided her with surprising poise.Around them, seven other couples glided across the floor, including Ignacio, who partnered with a girl from a well-known family. Henrique, as the cousin of the twins, also had his partner following the waltz.From the sidelines, Kelvin and Karen watched the scene with quiet pride, while Melissa and Josias — especially Melissa, mother of the birthday twins — took in the moment with emotion.“Look at your daughter,” Josias whispe

In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

The Mountain Penthouse living room was filled with tension that morning. Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you
Chapter 3234 The Girlfriend Showed Up
At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

At Vaztrans, William and Daryl were discussing the repercussions of Suzy’s article in Maggiezine.“People are accepting Suzy’s apologies and explanations,” William broke the silence, holding a copy.Daryl pursed his lips. “Whatever. Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
