When Flavia managed to break the bad news to Josias, he promptly took care of everything else.Therefore, yet on Sunday afternoon, Harold Freire's wake and burial took place at Lagoon City Cemetery.It usually rains at funerals and burials, but Harold's death seems to have caught even the weather off guard, as the sun continued to shine, urging the citizens of Lagoon City to head to the beach.But today would be a sad day for the Freire family and their friends. In the hall where the wake takes place, Isabel is standing, staring at her dead husband. He was with the same serene smile.“You had that smile on, and I thought you were sleeping.” She says in a plaintive tone, “I should have sent you to the hospital. You had been slow to wake up, I had to scream and shake you! Why didn't I understand that you were saying goodbye when you said you loved me? Sorry, Harold, I was stupid and killed you!”The last sentence came out in a choked voice. Wallace approaches his mother, wearing a black

Then he enters the room.Wallace looks up and is surprised to find his father. “Wow, did you come too? How did you know I came?”“How did we know you were captured as a fugitive criminal?” Harold slams the door and approaches his son exuding hatred, “You ask 'how did I come', like it's the most normal thing in the world for you to go to a police station to be booked!”“Father, please—“Harold doesn't listen and slaps his son. “You mean you're macho enough to make your mother cry in disgust? Is that what you are? You mean a handsome, attractive man like you needs to force a woman to have sex with you?”Wallace has mixed emotions. Could it be that Isabel was the 'good cop' and Harold is being the 'bad cop'? “Dad, don't talk like I'm proud. I didn't want things to end like this.”“Well

They're in their apartment, “Kelvin, tell me that's a lie!”“Why would I lie on such a subject?” Kelvin justifies himself.“OK, forgive me.” Diane puts the suitcases on the sofa, “It just seems shameful that while we were having fun, the Freire family was in mourning.”“We can visit them.” Daryl decides. He turns on the radio and The Offspring's song “Gonna Get Away” fills the living room.Melissa sits on the sofa and notices the suitcase, “You didn't go to Acapulco with that suitcase, correct?”Diane smiles, “No, I got back with her. She has gifts and souvenirs that I bought during the trip.”“Cool.

Building My Life Chapter 1690 Be Careful with Who Supports You
Beto looks like he won't get a straight answer from Vera as to what she's afraid of. Then he goes to the radio and turns it on.

You came back from Victoria expecting us to take you in with no questions or answers.”Vera is visibly trying to hide something. Her voice shakes and her skin is as white as snow, “I... I can't say.”“Ah, then get out of here before you bring trouble to my children and my tenants!”“NO!” Vera covers her mouth with both hands, and then goes back to speaking more quietly, “I just want to have a little money to go back to the capital.”“Don't worry, I'll give it to you right now.” Beto opens the cash drawer and takes out some bills at r
Building My Life Chapter 1691 Something Is Wrong
Wallace is surprised to hear this stranger speaking directly to him and wanting to confer with his mother. He is obviously suspicious, “My lord, don't you see the absurdity of wanting to talk to my mother?”Renan remains calm, “Be sure, young man, that I don't intend to do anything disgraceful to your mother.”“So what do you want?” Wallace is gruff.Renan changes tactics, “Is she still upset and grieving?”“Technically she is, but she decided to go back to work on the soap to clear her mind.”“I understood. Then I can speak directly to you, young man. Can you meet me at the Rocha Hotel restaurant at noon?”“I don't have money to eat at this restaurant,” Wallace speaks grimly.“And who says you're going to pay?

Building My Life Chapter 1692 Return My Woman
Wallace enters the Rocha Hotel restaurant.

I hear the caviar here is delicious.”“Can we cut to the chase? Or is the matter so nasty that I need to eat first?”Renan holds out the menu to the youngest, “I don't believe you're one of those people who lose their appetite easily.”Wallace is definitely out of patience, “Oh Heavens, you called me to—”“Relax, Mr. Freire!” Renan enjoys the unhappiness of others, “You are useful to me to solve my problem.
