Josias is indignant when he sees that Alan becomes more rude and rebellious.“Alan, you hate your Uncle Will so much that you're becoming just like him.”Alan widens his eyes to the fullest, “WHAT? How is such a thing possible?”Dora feels her heart sink, “Josias, you don't have to be so rough on my grandson. I'm sure he won't be hospitalized here all the time. Right, Alan?”Alan smirks, “Sure, Grandma. I will triumph in this world. I can't say the same for Uncle Will. Cousin Caio, no offense.”“I really want you to be a winner, Alan.” Caio asserts.Simeon gestures, “OK, OK, let's stop this shameful talk! Are we a family or not?”Alan was going to retort, but Josias's fierce gaze silenced him. Another slap would be too humiliating.******Kelvin takes Isabel and Reuben to Wallace's house. Wallace awaits and welcomes them.“Mom, welcome back!” Wallace hugs her, “You too, nephew.”“This is my first time living here, Uncle Wally.” Reuben jokes.Adults laugh. Wallace breaks the hug and tu
At General Hospital, William receives the news that he will no longer be able to walk normally, and he becomes uneasy and indignant.He tries to get up from the hospital bed, but Caio and Simeon hold him down.“What are you saying? Let me get up, I can't become a paraplegic!”Dora is distressed, “William, nobody mentioned paraplegia. You're going to have a little trouble, that's all... maybe a pair of crutches—”“You'll want to put me in a wheelchair if I don't get smart!” William blusters.Simeon narrows his eyes, “Son, why did you want to jump out of the window? Don't you realize this was a bad idea?”William huffs, “I just wanted to get away, Dad! I do everything to not have to rebuild Uélton's house!”Caio shakes his head, “You did it, Dad. Mrs. Freire and Reuben are going to live in their old house, where Wallace is now.”Anyone who thought that William would calm down with this was wrong. He became more furious and dissatisfied.“WHAT? Why did nobody think of it before? Everyone
The day of Beto and Teresa's wedding arrived. As mentioned before, the ceremony was held in Victoria, in a church chosen by Raymond.Beto was thrilled to see his children again (most still think Rosemary is his daughter).“Dad, don't you think this is weird?” Pedro scratches his head, “You were already married to Mom. Do we need to repeat that?”Beto laughs and hugs the heir, “Yes, sonny. Now I'm going to marry Tess.”“OK...” Pedro decides not to delve into the matter. The world of adults is very complicated.Josias and his troupe showed up at the Church and witnessed the marriage bond. Melissa almost gave up, but Raymond assured her that Pamela would not be there. So she was acting as maid of honor at the altar, smiling at yet another wedding.Wallace dared to ask Carmen as the priest delivered the wedding speech, “And your little sister?”Carmen smiles, amused, “Pam didn't want to see her ex-husband being happy with someone else. She threatened to ruin the moment by screaming 'I obj
Daryl is working in his office at Crystal Blue. Diane has a copy of Maggiezine in her hand. Her husband's walkman had no headphones, and they were both listening to the song “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls.“Your sister was very precise in choosing the best photo of Beto, huh?” Diane drools over the beachy photo, “No one will believe Beto has such a muscular body at forty-six!”“Does the guy have all this?” Daryl jealously questions her.“Yes, that means you should join a gym, honey.” Diane jokes between giggles.“Have you ever seen a restaurateur have a flat stomach, honey?” Daryl tries to be funny, but he's seriously considering doing some calisthenics, “I'm always wrapped in food. Kelvin keeps in good shape because he stands at the entrance as our maître d'.”“OK, but here’s the incentive.” Diane approaches her husband and kisses him on the cheek.Then she goes outside and finds Melissa storming into her hubby's office, “Hey Melissa, what happened?”“Time to speak some truths to your h
Maggie and Bernardo are excited about an upcoming bestseller by Isabel Freire. They are curious for more information.“What will your next novel be about, Izzy?” Maggie asks excitedly, “Epic romance? Contemporary romance? Dramatic drama worthy of being adapted for LCN?”Isabel responds calmly, “Not this time, guys. I want to write my son's memoirs.”Maggie breaks her smile, not because she hated the idea, but because of the situation involved, “Ehr... Izzy, are you sure you can handle writing the story of Uélton being his mother?”Isabel responds in surprise, “Who better than the person who carried him eight months in her womb to write his story?”Bernardo ventures, “The LCN will not want...”“I don't want LCN to make a show about my son!” Isabel frowns, “I just want to honor the Chief Electrician of Rocha Constructions. I haven’t spoken to Josias yet, but his approval is almost certain.”Bernardo doesn't want to miss this chance, “And you can count on my approval, Isabel. I'm glad it
Melissa has returned to the Mountain Penthouse and is now venting to Dora. The radio plays "Because of You" by 98 Degrees, but the ladies don't enjoy the song.“Mom, I was furious when I found out.” Melissa narrates, “So today I decided to go to the restaurant to peel Daryl. But Diane, as Solomon's wife, didn't want me to bother her husband with his work.”Dora sips her tea curiously, “So you told her?”Melissa smirks, “Yes, I left the bomb in her lap once she insisted. Diane was left to die when she found out what her 'busy' husband had done. Hopefully, this is the end of our troubles.”“I also hope.” Dora sighs.“I remember how Uélton and Wallace used to fight when we first met.” Melissa leans back on the couch, “I don't want the same thing between Kelvin and Daryl.”“Sibling quarrels are the worst thing ever.” Dora declares with hidden intent.Melissa got the message, “And how is William doing?”“Your brother keeps unresolved and now blames Izzy for his misfortune.” Dora declares d
The next day, Isabel met with Francisco, Wallace, and Vera at Café Montanha for the big announcement. Everyone is at one of the tables. The cafeteria is still empty.“We came early.” Wallace yawns, already dressed in his work clothes, “What's the big news, Mom?”“Guys,” Isabel smiles widely, “I asked Josias for permission and he granted it. I'm going to write Uélton's memoirs.”Everyone is silent for a few seconds, looking at each other.Isabel feels awkward, “Well, say something, guys!”“Mom,” Wallace is first, “the idea is wonderful, but does it really have to be you?”“What do you mean by that?” Isabel is amused, “Of course it has to be me, the family writer! Do I not know what happened in your brother's life?”“Of course, you know.” Wallace nods, “But, you would need more sources that are unavailable. Flavia.”“I can write the biography without going into detail about their marital life.” Isabel shrugs, “After all, I can’t ask her permission for that.”Francisco takes his girlfrie
At Café Montanha, customers began to arrive. Francisco got up to answer them and Isabel went behind him at the counter. Their radio is playing “Be Alone No More” by Another Level.“And then, dear? What do you think of my idea?”“I thought it was sensational, honey.” Francisco winks, “It's too bad I can't be of help.”“Are you good at grammar? You can be my proofreader.” Isabel jokes.“I thought that Marçal Publishing House already made this available to you. You are the writer that keeps that company going.”“I pay for Henrique’s porridge.” Isabel boasts comically, making her boyfriend laugh as he prepares an espresso for one of the customers.Meanwhile, Wallace and Vera are still sitting.“You didn't say much, honey.” Wallace asserts.Vera is worried, “What can you say in situations like this, honey? I'm very worried about discouraging your mother, but I think the idea is absurd. At least she could just do the reporting and let someone else produce the book. But will she be the one t
