Building My Life Chapter 1826 We Messed Up Her Life
Wallace sits on the classic divan but still doesn't dare to lie on it like he always sees in American movies. Sandro smiles and sits down in the armchair with his notebook.“And then, Mr. Freire... Or we can cut the formality, don't you think? I'm Sandro and you're Wallace. I bet your family must call you Wally.”The nickname itself already gave Wallace the shivers, “My girlfriend... the one I hated in the '80s...”“Let's start with her.” Sandro puts on his glasses and takes out his pen, “You met Vera Reis...”“I want to go back further, Doctor.” Wallace says firmly, “For me, it all started precisely in 1980 when Josias Rocha entered our lives through my younger brother.”“Proceed.” Sandro is attentive.“Josias Rocha had two kittens chasing him: Melissa Campos and Pamela Chaves. But Josias just loved Melissa. Melissa was a virgin, pure, decent, and promised to be the perfect housewife. But Pamela was the opposite: promiscuous, vulgar, immoral, a modern Jezebel. One fine day, Melissa's
Building My Life Chapter 1827 Josias Helps Once Again
Wallace's session with Sandro continues. Wallace has already spoken more data about his past, reaching 1981 and 1982.Sandro ventures a question, “Wallace... Forgive my intrusion, but at this time, I think it was already clear to you that Pamela Chaves was not willing to be a straight woman. See, I'm not one to judge people by their actions, I just hope they know what they're doing. For me, Miss Chaves was determined to be the kind of woman that went against your principles. You started talking about Josias Rocha and your younger brother, but I want you to think: WHY DID YOU stick around?”“I loved her, Doctor,” Wallace responds wistfully.“But why?” Sandro wants to dig deep in this well until he finds mined water, “Everything in this life has a reason.”“I ain’t following you, Doctor.”Sandro straightens up in his chair, “You were willing to assume a child that Miss Chaves bore. I'm not a churchgoer, but I know enough to believe that it would be against holy doctrines. Did you expect
Building My Life Chapter 1828 Wallace Finally Understands
Isabel took advantage of the opportunity to go to Teodoro's building. She is well received with the song “High” by The Lighthouse Family.She smiles and approaches the counter, “Hey, is this radio ever turned off?”“Never.” Teresa jokes, “Only when we go to sleep. It’s the tradition that we mean to maintain.”“I remember when Teodoro was alive.” Isabel looks respectfully at the portrait, “Is Vera in her apartment?”“No, she's at her psychiatrist's appointment.” Teresa is alarmed.Isabel nods regretfully, “My boy Wally is too. He showed up at the house destroyed, saying that he deserved to be treated because he had hurt Vera. I didn't ask for the details because I could tell he was emotionally wrecked.”Teresa takes a deep breath to get into a thorny subject, “Mrs. Freire, for us, nothing much happened, but for our couple, it was a terrible ordeal.”“Did she get out of here all right, or was she bad too?” Isabel genuinely cares.“She was blaming herself for everything that happened in
Building My Life Chapter 1829 Taking Lessons From Dr. Almeida
The next day, Wallace is in his underwear in the bathroom brushing his teeth, thinking about everything he heard from Dr. Almeida. Suddenly, he hears the door open and the footsteps of people entering.“Good morning, Uncle Wally!” Reuben screams.Wallace's eyes widen and he spits out toothpaste in fright. When he rinses his mouth and thinks about closing the door, Uélton and Reuben appear at the bathroom door and catch him with little clothes on.Reuben pretends he’s embarrassed and covers his eyes, “Argh, there's an indecent man here!”Uélton bursts out laughing, “That's right, son, never see a naked man, not even when you're Uncle Wally's age.”“Cover your eyes too, daddy!” Reuben sneaks a peek.Uélton covers his son's head, “It's different with dad, we're brothers. Wait in the kitchen.”Reuben goes into the kitchen with his eyes still covered and bumps into the first wall he finds.Wallace nods, “I see you're having a great time, huh? Are you teaching your son to enter other people
Building My Life Chapter 1830 He Won't Kill Me
At Wallace's house, he, Uélton, and Reuben are eating plain bread with butter and cheese. None of the peach cobbler they thought they would have.“Dad, you said Uncle Wally had peach cobbler,” Reuben complains.“Next time we’ll have strawberry cake.” Uélton winks at his dear son.“Only if it’s at your house, huh?” Wallace laughs as he chews.“Today our mother will be famous throughout Espírito Santo, perhaps Brazil.” Uélton rubs his hands in anxiety, “I hope everything works out.”“Everything will be all right, dad.” Reuben lifts his coffee cup, “Grandma Isabel is a beast!”Wallace looks at Uélton as if to say: is this what you are teaching your son?Uélton disguises himself and raises his coffee cup to play with his son, “To grandma Isabel!”Father and son toast. Wallace cannot stay angry with these two pranksters.******At Tiago's house, Carmen is dressed up to visit some places. Tiago appears in the living room finishing putting on his tie.“How are Isabel and Flávia, dear? Well i

Ivan enters the presidential office and finds Josias at his desk, leaning back in the regal upholstered chair, with a glass of whiskey in his hand and a confident smile. Nothing can shake our hero.The sergeant studies the Italian-cut suit of Lagoon City's most successful businessman and is envious of the patterned T-shirt and faded, frayed jeans he is wearing.Josias leans forward and places the glass on the mahogany desk, “Mr. Moraes, it's a pleasure to see you again. The concierge said you really wanted to see me.”“The concierge wouldn’t let me in, I had to make a fuss!” Ivan barks.“But why did you come to see me with such emphasis?” Josias asks as if he doesn't know the answer.“I came here,” He approaches with slow steps, “to hear your confession and have peace of mind.”“Who would have that peace, me?” Josias chuckles, “Wouldn’t that be you?”“Perhaps peace will come to both of us.” Ivan smiles awkwardly.Josias shakes his head, “Moraes, I'm tired of all this. You're trying to
Building My Life Chapter 1832 Sales Report
On LCN, Daniel is talking to Melissa about the astronomical sales of 'Love Spins the World'. They're in one of the 'Sweet Love' studios. Not far away, Veronica and Jack are studying their scripts for the next episode.Melissa is also reading the sales report, “Daniel... It's a lot of books. The new novel by Isabel Freire is being yet another literary success.”“And the Mountain family suggested that we further transform this masterpiece into one of our famous telenovelas.” Daniel has his teeth on the street, “What do you think?”“If Izzy agrees...” Melissa responds suggestively, “I hear she's in the capital, holding an autograph session with Flávia. How must Reuben and Uélton be?”“I don't know.” Daniel says, “I just know that these numbers are encouraging. I’ll take the matter to the Board for them to consider and maybe release the sponsorship.” Daniel makes a 'money' gesture with his fingers.“However, I don't think Izzy will want to adapt.” Melissa recalls Daniel, “She said it's to

A few days passed. The book signing held in Victoria by Isabel was the biggest success. Isabel got a swollen hand from signing so much, but at the end of the queue with the last fan, she was smiling and satisfied.One of the sessions was broadcast live on the state network. In Lagoon City, Uélton and Reuben recorded the transmission on cassette tape for posterity.“Grandma Isabel will be proud when she finds out we recorded it, huh, dad?” Reuben suggests.Uélton takes the cassette tape out of the VCR, “Yes, and we’ll remember this moment forever, or at least until the tape dies.”“Why?” Reuben scratches his head.Uélton sighs, “Because if there's one thing I've learned in this life, my son, it's that nothing lasts forever. That's why we have to enjoy the life that God has given us.”“Like Grandpa Harold?” Reuben asks, a little sadly, “I wanted him at my wedding.”Uélton goes to his room and Reuben goes after him, “Don't worry, son. I’ll, of course, be applauding this glorious moment.

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

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
