Building My Life Chapter 1212 Children Are Innocent
When Frederick returns to the apartment, Josias is on the couch listening to the song “End of the Road”, by Boyz II Men, leaving him feeling more down and homesick.“Mr. Rocha, why all this depression? Put on a Country to cheer up, because I got the job!”Josias can only smile at one corner of his mouth, “I'm happy for you, Frederick. Was it at Crystal Blue?”“Yes. I won't exactly be a waiter, but I'll help where I can. I don't know what Mr. Mountain saw in me.”“He saw your sincerity, your charisma, and willingness to work hard. Your muscular body must have given him ideas.”“Anyway, that sad little face of yours is the one who misses the mistress?”Josias remembers the newspaper he threw out the window, “I don't know if I'll have a mistress when I return from the beyond.”Frederick gets embarrassed and decides not to talk about it anymore.******At Crystal Blue, everything is already clean, organized, and ready to receive customers. Kelvin and Daryl talk to each other.“The last bo
Building My Life Chapter 1213 Maggiezine's New Sensation
Wednesday. Pamela is playing with the knife in her hands instead of spreading strawberry jam on her homemade bread. Across the mahogany table, Miguel watches his wife thoughtfully.As in the Rocha penthouse, Miguel's house in Europe Garden also has a Georgian-style dining room.“Honey, what's going on in your little head?” Miguel asks her, “Was I too brusque and violent last night?”Pamela licks her lips as she remembers 'last night', “You were wonderful, honey, as always—” Pamela shakes her head, embarrassed, “Ehr...no, it's not about 'that'. By the way, I need to go to the drugstore before Theo and Rosemary have another sibling. I was thinking about Adrian's threat.”Miguel has a grim face, “What did that bratty bastard say?”“He joked that he wouldn't turn off the hospital devices that keep my mother alive, but he had such a devilish tone that I could have sworn he was serious,” Pamela answers in a shaky voice.Miguel gets angrier, “Has this idiot lost his mind?”“He was always aga
Building My Life Chapter 1214 Angela Charges the Child Support
Carmen and Tiago visit Moacyr and Cristina at the hospital. Moacyr continues to look carefully at his wife as if his gaze had the power to wake up Cristina. “Seu Moacyr, how are you?” Carmen asks. “I'm better, daughter.” Moacyr sighs, “And that's what revolts me.” “Why do you say that, sir?” Tiago asks. “Because I should be in a coma or six feet under the ground!” Moacyr can't hold back any longer and starts crying, “I was driving that damn car, I saw the car coming in the parallel direction and I couldn't stop. Worse, I don't even know if I tried to brake. And my wife was saying goodbye to you guys, without her seat belt. How could I be so careless?” Carmen hugs Moacyr to comfort him. Pamela arrives at this point with the offside order. “Oh, I hope I haven't come at a bad time.” “Come on, Pam.” Tiago makes room, “Seu Moacyr is much shaken.” “I hope I can lighten the mood.” Pamela smiles slightly and shakes the envelope, “Miguel has issued a court order to prevent Adrian from e

Igor is apprehensive when Angela charges a high amount of child support. Will Melissa pay? “Miss Sousa, I suggest you charge a moderate amount.” Angela takes offense, “Mrs. Rocha has no idea how much we spend with a baby? Didn't she have two children?” “Baby expenses, yes.” Igor quips, “But it looks like you want to guarantee money until your son turns 30!” Gustavo interjects, “Mr. Lawyer, if Josias were alive, he would pay child support until David is 18.” “I know that very well, don't teach a priest how to say Mass, little boy!” Igor gets angry. “So this is my price.” Angela cackles, “R$100,000.00 and I won't bother you anymore. In the future, I will look for a job to make things easier, and I hope my son has the same successful trajectory as his father.” “Except impregnating the luxury escort.” Igor scoffs getting up to leave. Angela was going to tell him to go to hell, but she shuts up in time, afraid of losing the deal. ****** Kelvin walks past the newsstand and its owne

Maggie talks with a teenager's excitement that the new issue of her magazine is selling like crazy. “The whole town is drooling over my brother’s beauty, honey!” Maggie jumps up and down for joy, “We're going to have a new sales record!” Bernardo gets up and hugs his wife, “I'm happy to see you happy, my love.” Shirley enters Bernardo's office hearing the last sentence, “What about me? Don't I deserve to be happy too, Bernie?” Maggie feels her heart go cold when she hears her mother's hiss and immediately breaks the hug. Her face catches fire as she hears her mother so intimately, “Who authorized you to call my HUSBAND 'Bernie', you—” “MAGGIE!” Bernardo sternly warns her. Where was that sweet, honeyed wife from before? Shirley smiles, pleased to end the happiness in the room, and adds more fuel to the fire, “Bernie, didn't you promise me you wouldn't sexually exploit the image of my baby?” “What baby?” Maggie laughs, “Wake up, Mom! Kelvin is now twenty-eight, handsome, and hot,

The Rocha Hotel was Josias’s promise.”“Wife, since that folk hates us, they won't build the hotel anymore to harm you, simple as that!”“Melissa doesn't hate us and she's the one in control.”“That Tiago Bento is the one who appears in the newspapers as responsible because the world is too sexist to recognize Melissa as the president of Rocha Constructions.” Vernon laughs evilly.Elza was going to cou

The Portuguese teacher wants me to read Machado de Assis for a school project.”“I think this fatigue is due to the restaurant.” Flávia approaches him, “If you want my advice, it's better to take it easy.”“Well, sis, you know how things work: when you're a new employee, you have to show your best sel

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane?

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Chapter 3143 Return
Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
