Building My Life Chapter 1281 Adress Changes
The next day, it was William and Caio's turn to pack their bags to leave.At Simeon's house, Dora and he were saying goodbye to two and preparing for the arrival of four people.“Mother, where will every one fit in?” William asks as he puts clothes in the suitcase.“Grandpa Carlos will sleep with the kids and Melissa will sleep in our room,” Dora responds.“I remembered the time when we all lived together with Josias.” William dares to smile.Dora wastes no time, “Yes, it was the time when you had changed for the better.”William closes the suitcase so hard that the zipper almost breaks, “Mother, don't come to defend the adulterer! Look at the result of all this: my dear sister is leaving the luxury life to live back with you.”“She decided so.” Simeon corrects his son as he overhears the conversation. He stands in the doorway.“Of course, how is she going to live in the 'Rocha' penthouse being Miss 'Campos'? And if she remarries, will her husband want to live in the penthouse bought
Building My Life Chapter 1282 Adaptable Honeymoon
Melissa's troupe arrives in peace and safety at Simeon's house. They are greeted by the radio playing the song “The Crying Game” by Boy George.“I don't feel like crying at all.” Melissa jokes.“Hello, guys!” Dora opens her arms and hugs everybody, “How are you?”“We're fine, grandma!” Alan answers for everyone.“Ah, did the kid become the spokesperson for those who moved?” William jokes, but Alan glares at him.“Won't you go away?” Alan asks defiantly.Everyone is embarrassed. Simeon takes his grandson by the shoulders.“Alan, have manners, my grandson. Come, I'll show you where you and your sister are staying.”Simeon, Alan, and Caroline go to the room where Caio and William were.“I'll help them settle in.” Caio also withdraws.With only William, Melissa, Carlos, and Dora, the hostess starts to peel her son.“Frankly, Will, you'd better be gone already!”“I made a point of waiting to wish my pure and perfect sister good luck.” William hugs Melissa.Melissa isn't so thrilled, “Will,

Dora and Melissa talk from woman to woman in the kitchen. Simeon puts the thermos on the table.“There, ma'am. I will help my father and grandchildren with the move.” Simeon withdraws, understanding that mother and daughter want to talk.Melissa pours herself fresh coffee, “Mom, what was that with William? He's unbearable. Even Alan can't take it anymore. I won’t allow him to insult my son.”“Will is getting more and more impossible.” Dora also helps herself to coffee, “I think it's a good thing he's gone. His father could kick him out.”“What worries me is his hatred affecting Caio.” Melissa gets emotional, “Kids need to be happy and not hate.”“I warned him. I'll be on the lookout for any negative behavior in Caio. I will even speak to Josias if necessary.” Dora takes a sip, “And how he said goodbye to the kids?”“He was brave enough to say that we wouldn't live together anymore.” Melissa smiles slightly, “Caroline still doesn't get it, poor thing.”“She's still three years old.” Do
Building My Life Chapter 1284 The Selected Woman
At the Bezerra farm, Katherine is listening to the radio and dancing in the middle of the living room to the song “Suck My Kiss”, by Red Hot Chili Peppers without understanding the real meaning of the song.The doorbell rings but she doesn't care, waiting for Adelina to answer.The maid was ironing, but she huffs at having to interrupt her housework to answer the door, “Hello, damn, who is it?”“Is this how employees respond to visitors?”Adelina is startled to find Ernesto standing outside, “What? Who are you and how did you get in?”Ernesto smiles out of the corner of his mouth, “There was an employee at the gate and I identified myself. I am Josias Rocha's secretary.”The pronunciation of the magical name was enough for Adelina to run into the living room, “Miss! It is a representative of Josias Rocha!”“And why didn't you warn me before?” Katherine scolds her as if there was any reason to.Katherine peers toward the door, “Come in, secretary! What does my future husband have to sa

Ephraim is surprised to return from the coffee plantation and find an unknown car parked near his front door.Upon entering, he finds Ernesto standing in the hall, waiting with a wry smile.“Who the hell are you?” Ephraim asks intrigued.“Everyone has a strange way of welcoming me.” Ernesto quips, “I am Josias Rocha’s secretary and I came to take your daughter and grandson.”“Have you come to take her?” Ephraim widens his eyes.“She was selected to live with my boss in the Rocha penthouse.”Ephraim is outraged, “Has she been ‘selected,’ just as I select my cows for breeding?”Ernesto didn't mean it, but the comparison was perfect.“My daughter has a dignity of her own and will not accept this slight.”After Ephraim says that, Katherine appears with two huge suitcases and Adelina appears with Josias Junior in her arms and his things.“What do you think you're doing?” Ephraim is apoplectic, “Are you really going to go along with this business of being the businessman's concubine?”“Yes,
Building My Life Chapter 1286 Everybody Checks Out the Novelty
Jock enters Ephraim’s studio, still touchy about the situation: he was the beloved son-in-law and the successor in control of the Bezerra farm, but suddenly, he is forced to divorce Katherine and return to his previous stage as foreman!“Did you call me, sir?”“Of course, Jock. I want to know if I can count on my loyal foreman.”Jock hardens his gaze and doesn't speak the swear words that are on the tip of his tongue.Ephraim smiles wryly, “I see so. Here’s the thing, you’re going to be promoted from foreman to spy.”Jock can't take it anymore, “Is this a joke, sir?”“Of course not. I want you to go live in Lagoon City and tell me everything that my shameless daughter is doing.”Jock sneers, “Surely she'll be spending Mr. Rocha’s money and being banged by him every single night. Do you want me to record her moans on cassette for you to hear?”Ephraim is not amused by Jock's sarcasm, “Not quite. But if you are going to record such tapes, let it be along with your male growls, and let m

In Cristina's apartment, it is no surprise that she watched the premiere of 'A Rose in the Desert', presented by LCN.Diane and Moacyr watched with her. Cristina crouches down and pulls out a VHS tape she used to record the episode.“Ready! The first episode of ‘A Rose in the Desert’ was recorded for posterity.”“It would be nice if you kept an archive, dear.”“I don't know if I'll have the space here for that.” Cristina gets up and puts the tape on the shelf, “If this soap opera has more than one season, it will be around 500 episodes.”“The book doesn't have as much material for all that, so I think it's only going to be a year,” Diane responds.“Still, it will be about 250 episodes. Lots to record.” Cristina responds excitedly, “Anyway, I loved it! Now let's wait until 09:00 pm to check out Isabel's soap opera.”“I am very happy for her.” Moacyr nods, smiling.“Meanwhile, I'll prepare dinner.” Cristina heads for the kitchen.“And I'll tidy up the canteen.” Diane offers herself.How

Are you a boardinghouse employee?”“Yes and no.” Diane laughs, “I'm Diane Barbosa.”Beto nods, “Any kinship with Moacyr Barbosa?”“Yes, I am the cousin of the madman who tried to kill his own father.” Diane takes the test to see if Beto is prejudiced.Beto passed the test, “No, I don't want to do any pre-judging. You seem like a decent girl to me.”Diane smiles, “Thanks. I came to help uncle Moacyr and aunt Cris. We take turns: sometimes I take care of my uncle, sometimes I take care of here.”“Thank you, Diane. I am Roberto Reis, son of the late owner of this place.”Diane's eyes widen, “Oh... so I should treat you with more respect! First of all, I'm sorry for the loss, Mr. Reis.”Beto smiles in camaraderie,

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? Behaving?”“Cont

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
