Building My Life Chapter 1696 Time to Think Better
In Daniel's office, he overheard all of Isabel's concerns regarding Vera and Wallace.“Isabel, this is truly a story that will take anyone's peace of mind.” He understands, “That's why I want you to take a few days off.”“More days off?” Isabel is distressed, “How will our program turn out?”Daniel is sincere, but concerned for her well-being, “We can designate someone else to be head writer, or we can end the soap this season.”Isabel ponders with her hand on her chin. Cancel the soap opera? “I thought the ratings were satisfactory.”“And they are. But it’s better to end the telenovela while the ratings are still high than to cancel it due to low ratings.” Daniel smiles, “Think over these days, Isabel, and I hope you can solve these problems in the meantime.”“OK, I'll think about it. Thank you, Daniel, for your consideration.”“I just want to help you, friend.” Daniel smiles.Isabel gets up and leaves. Flavia was waiting for her.“And then?” She asks anxiously.“Daniel raised the po
Building My Life Chapter 1697 They Meet
A few days passed. Caio is putting on his sneakers in the living room of his grandparents' house. The radio was playing “Lucky Love” by Ace of Base.Dora approaches him, “Good morning, my little grandson! Breakfast is served. Where did your father go?”“Is he not around?” Caio straightens up, “So he went home.”“Not exactly his home now.” Dora smiles, “It’s the Pizzeria Campos construction site.”Caio gets up, “Grandma, I am very happy with this undertaking. Finally, my dad is focused on something other than hating Uncle Josias.”“For a moment, I thought he wasn't going to accept Rocha Constructions' budget out of pure spite. Thankfully, common sense prevailed.”Simeon appears to put on his boots, “Good morning, people! Everyone's up early, huh?”Dora watches her husband and remembers Harold, “Did you sleep well, Simeon?”Simeon leaves his boots and hugs his wife, “Darling, Isabel lost her husband, but it looks like you are the one who was traumatized.”“I don't know if I'm prepared t

Beto calls Teresa to talk about the urgent matter at the office in the Teodoro building.“Honey, why are you so upset?” Teresa worries.“Tess, I need to leave. Vera found Wally's address and it's on his doorstep!”“What a shameless bitch!” Teresa cries out, “What if Wally was in boxer shorts, just waking up?”Beto shakes the idea of another male wearing just boxer shorts from his mind, “Ehr... Let's not think about those details, honey. Will you man the lobby for me while I prevent a tragedy?”“Of course, dear, run! We don’t know whether Isabel threw away her late husband's revolver or not.”Beto can only imagine Wallace shooting Vera in the head and he runs like crazy to stop it.******Meanwhile, Wallace buys time while talking to Vera through the living room window.Vera notices this and fusses, "Wally, won't you let me in?”“I was watching TV.” Wallace frowns, “You don't intend to linger, do you?”“I wanted to talk so we can pick up where we left off.”“And where did we stop?” W
Building My Life Chapter 1699 Breaking Up on Christmas Eve
Wallace pretends he's yawning because Vera remains silent and doesn't say a comma about what's going on.“Woah... Well, Vera, I'm on my day off, so I want to rest.”“This is so unfair...” Vera murmurs, “You should open the door, let me in, and finally have your first night of passionate lovemaking with me as you've always wanted.”“What night, you crazy girl?” Wallace laughs, “It's still daylight, it's nine in the morning!”“I know, Wally, and I need to get back to my dad's building. Beto will realize that I didn't come back.”“Are you living in your father's building? How can you face his portrait without feeling guilty?”Vera swallows her pride, “I... I try, Wally. I think my father has already forgiven me from Heaven.”“Certainly, in paradise, there is no hatred and resentment.” Wallace hardens his face, “But here on Earth, we still hate and resent each other, so I will never forgive you, Vera. I almost missed the opportunity to reconcile with my father. It was God who wanted me ou

When Josias got into the car, he was startled.Everaldo was sitting in the passenger seat! How did he get in?“Everaldo, I locked the car!” Josias exclaims terrifyingly.Everaldo just nods, “That's not true, Josias. The door was open and I went in.”Josias narrows his eyes. No, he locked the car doors. But if Ernesto wants to play...“OK, tell me the blessing for 1997.”Everaldo chuckles, “Sixteen years, and you still haven't learned? Josias, it’s not me, it’s God who blesses your life with glory, happiness, joy, wealth, and prosperity.”“Yes, but you are sent from God to do the work.” Josias suddenly grabs Everaldo's arm only to see that he is flesh and blood, “You have acquired human form.”“I have always been human, Josias!” Everaldo is exasperated.“Jesus Christ also bled when he was whipped and hung on the stake.” Josias winks at his friend, “But he wasn't 100% human.”Everaldo purses his lips holding back a laugh, “OK, stubborn dude. I liked to see that you prevented Uélton from

Her voice is worn out because all she's been doing is screaming and cussing.Renan closes the glass door and then puts his hand on his forehead, “Vera, until when are you going to understand that I only want your good? What would happen if you got into that car of your lover?”“He was not my lover, HE IS MY BROTHER!”Renan shakes his head as if Vera were a lying little girl, “I've never seen a brother

Vera and Renan are having dinner. The sunset is evident on the urban horizon, but Renan kept the balcony door closed.“Renan, I'm hot.” Vera tries.“I’m going to turn on the air conditioning.” Renan gets up and turns on the air conditioning, irritating Vera.“Did you really think I was going to kill myself?” Vera tries to fish.“Yes, you are very foolish and extremist.” Renan sits down and picks up the knife and fork, “That's why I'm here, to help you.”“Help me with what, dammit?” Vera clatters her silverware onto her plate.“First, help you with table manners. Second, help you with your verbiage. Third, help you become a society lady of Lagoon City.” Renan smiles like the snake, “Don't you want to be famous and be on the cover of Maggiezine like Melissa Mountain and Katherine Rocha?”For a few seconds, Vera forgets everything and smiles at the possibility of being rich and famous. But the dream was short-lived, “NO, not in these conditions of slavery! I want my life back!”“What lif

Kelvin will answer the door for Ernesto.“Are the kids ready for school?” Ernesto asks as he enters, “Ah, hello, Mrs. Mountain.”“Ernie, you can call me Melissa.” She asks gently.“Never.

Sarah is enjoying living at the Rocha mansion with us.”“I guess so.” She laughs, “And what's new?”“My boss is really worried about Vera Reis living with that industrialist at the

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
