Building My Life Chapter 1554 The Wisdom of the Maid
At Café Montanha, Rodrigo brought a radio to set the scene while his customers have a basic snack. At this moment, the song “Fairground”, by Simply Red, cheered up those who had a very tasty coffee.The only ones who didn't get excited were Shirley and Kelvin, relatives of the cafeteria owner.Kelvin scowled in anger when he heard his mother ask him to break off his engagement to Melissa, “Mom, have you lost your mind?”“Son, you know I love you.” Shirley tries to explain herself, “I wouldn't ask this if I knew it was best for everyone.”“For everyone?” Kelvin retorts in disbelief.“Yes, because I'm afraid of Everaldo's prophecy.” Shirley finally explains why.Kelvin, hearing his mother, chuckles and takes both her hands, “Mom, don't worry. Melissa will be happy with me, as Everaldo said.”“No, son, we got it wrong. Everaldo told Uélton that the correct interpretation of the prophecy—”“OK, I understand.” Kelvin gently interrupts his mother, “Uélton talked about it at the bachelor par
Building My Life Chapter 1555 Who Holds Shirley?
Shirley tries to convince Kelvin that it's best for everyone if he breaks off his engagement with Melissa, but Kelvin is too in love with her to do that.She takes a deep breath to answer his plea, “Son, I want to support your happiness. But with what I know about Everaldo's prophecy, I'm afraid something bad could happen to you if you insist on marriage.”“Something bad?” Kelvin's eyes widen.“Yes, I fear you may have an accident... or even die supernaturally.” Shirley gets goosebumps even though the coffee shop is at room temperature.“Mom, don't spread that kind of stuff.” Kelvin frowns slightly, feeling offended, “I don't believe God will go to extremes. I'm not sinning, I love Melissa. We are not in carnal intimacy; we are sleeping in separate rooms.”Shirley doesn't calm down, “If only we could get in touch with Everaldo...”“The only ones who have contact with him are Josias and Uélton.” Kelvin scratches the back of his head.The radio is now playing “Only Wanna Be With You” by
Building My Life Chapter 1556 Rumors and Gossip at the Police Station
At Café Montanha, Flávia is taken by surprise when Shirley asks if she knows Everaldo.Kelvin tries to ease the embarrassment, “Flávia, don't care what my mother says. She is desperate and doesn't know what she does.”Shirley huffs, "Kelvin, don't play with godly matters."Flavia kindly responds, “Mrs. Mountain, unfortunately, I don't know Everaldo closely enough to give you this information. Uélton found him in the square selling hot dogs.”Shirley looks toward the plaza, "But there's no one selling hot dogs today or last week."Flávia shrugs her shoulders, “This only increases our perspective on Everaldo not being of this world.”"And my daughter, as usual, doesn't believe it." Shirley rolls her eyes, "If I didn't believe in Everaldo's divine power, then she would."Flavia smiles, “Well, my blackberry pie saved that day. Maggie even asked me for the recipe.”"May she learn good things like cooking a pie instead of insulting her mother." Shirley opines bitterly.Kelvin gets up, “Mom,

Tuesday. Uélton is dressed in his usual attire for working in construction: an orange helmet, worn jeans, boots, and his handy toolbox.Flávia is at the newspaper reading the real estate ads. Their radio is playing the song “Over My Shoulder” by Mike + The Mechanics.Uélton approaches his wife, “Darling, what are you reading?”“I am looking for houses to buy or rent.” She stares at him, “Did your parents ever tell you that they want us to move closer to them?”Uélton sighs, “If they did, I completely forgot.”“I get it, honey, there's so much going on in 1995.” Flávia reads the newspaper again, “But I think it's a good idea for us to stay close to them, including Reuben. He can attend high school at the same school in Green Park with Caio.”“This is a good idea.” Uélton looks around, “The point is that this house gives me countless memories.”Flavia smiles understandingly, “I know, my love. But your mother said something right: you earn a great salary and have a great position at Roch

Isabel and Harold are also bursting with laughter when they read the report about Angela having spent the afternoon at the slammer, according to their perspective. Uélton appears at this moment."Hello, mother! Hello, dad. What's so funny that you're red from laughing?"Harold organizes his breathing as if he were Jennifer Holliday, “Son, your father almost had a heart attack from laughing. Your best friend's fiancée is still called a 'concubine' by the media!”Uélton realizes that their parents read the news in the newspaper, but remains serious, which only makes the scene funnier, “And where is the mistake?”Isabel's stomach hurts as she giggles more, “Stop it, son, I can't take it anymore.”Uélton gives a slightly ironic smile, “What does the report say?”Harold picks up the newspaper that has been scattered on the floor, “Angela Souza got into trouble in the Rocha penthouse and ended up behind bars for an afternoon to learn not to be a troublemaker anymore.”“Was it Melissa who ca
Building My Life Chapter 1559 Moving to Green Park
Uélton and his parents decide to change the subject.“Dad, I came here to discuss the proposal you guys made about me moving here.” Uélton solemnly talks, “Actually, Flávia was reading the real estate ads today.”Harold smiles, “Son, I understand that our old house brings back childhood and teenage memories. But life has changed, the time has passed, and our economic situation has improved surprisingly.”Isabel adds affectionately, “That's why, dear son, we think you should leave our little house in the favela behind and think about your future with your family.”Harold concludes, “A man of your position, on the salary you earn, can't go on living in a place like Happiness Slum. Someone could be capable of getting you robbed or breaking into your house if they find out how your bank account is stuffed.”Uélton laughs, “Years ago I was loaded with debts, remember? My friends donated to help me with the wedding party.”Isabel kisses her son's cheek, “Yes, we remember. But that's in the
Building My Life Chapter 1560 I Don't Have to Choose
Uélton is now at the construction site, guiding the electricians' team. They are inside the room that will be the bathroom. Uélton has some circuit breakers on hand.“Guys, do you know what these pieces are for?” He asks masterfully and pedagogically, attracting the attention of the helpers, “This beauty avoids overloads and short circuits in the shower. If this occurs, the circuit breaker automatically turns off and interrupts the electrical flow.”The helpers nod and gape as if Uélton is the wisest electrician on Earth. But Uélton learned all this in the course he took at SENAC.After giving instructions on how to install the circuit breakers, Uélton walks into the house under construction and finds his radio with batteries. He turns it on and the song “I Wanna Take Forever Tonight” by Peter Cetera fills the atmosphere.Adolfo comes from Ferreira Hotel and greets his son-in-law, “Uélton, I have good news. My son is moving to Victoria to study gastronomy.”“Wow, how chic!” Uélton rej

Josias enters Rocha Constructions with an angry face after the argument with Angela. Octavio is embarrassed to greet him.“Good morning, Josias... how... how are you?”Josias notices he's scaring people away and tries to calm down, “Sorry, Octavio. I argued with Angela. No, it is not Everaldo’s prophecy being fulfilled in Uélton’s interpretation.”Octavio tries not to bring it up, “I know, it's the classic argument between couples. When I'm married, maybe I'll understand you.”Josias smiles slightly, “And when will your turn come, buddy? Sometimes I worry, I imagine your father.”Octavio responds good-naturedly, “My father is reassured that the offspring is guaranteed thanks to Jack.”“He's really going to marry that Veronica, huh?” Josias is unsure.“They are getting to know each other better.” Octavio blinks.Cristina and Moacyr pass by them."Oh, Josias, glad you're here." Moacyr greets him, “Today we will have a farewell party for Igor and we want your presence.”“Count me in,” Jo

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

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

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

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
