2024-10-29 19:42:56A few more days passed. At Crystal Blue, Diane keeps sad and worried about the impossibility of getting pregnant. Daryl finds her melancholy at the bar. Diane inadvertently put too much vermouth into the drink she was preparing for a customer.
“Are you alright, my love?”
“I'm the one who asks you.” Diane holds out the drink to the customer and walks away, “Are you okay?”
Daryl takes her hands, “My love, I'm not upset with you because we had a false alarm. I've already told you that.”
Diane takes a deep breath, “Honey, I've made another appointment with Dr. Silvana. I want to know if I have any problems. Perhaps... maybe I am—”
“Don't even touch that word, honey!” Daryl comforts her, “Alright, take the exam if you want to feel better, but let's not think about the worst, OK.”
“OK.” Diane's eyes are teary.

In Dr. Silvana's office, the doctor patiently and carefully explains to a distressed Diane how such a situation of hers is not at all irredeemable.“Diane, I've seen a lot of patients like you.” Dr. Silvana smiles assuredly, “Women who get so anxious and eager to get pregnant that, in the end, they can't. It seems like it's a psychological thing. A lot of my patients ended up getting pregnant when they least thought about it.”“So you think I should make love to my husband without thinking about the trousseau and the baby shower?” Diane asks dumbfounded.And Dr. Silvana is equally shocked, “So that's it? Diane, I believe your body is purposely playing tricks. Do this: relax, go home, and keep trying.”Diane is awkward, “Dr. Silvana, I really wanted to do an exam on my uterus and ovaries... Maybe I'm even in trouble without knowing it.”Dr. Silvana takes a deep breath, “OK, as you wis

Simeon and Dora are appalled by the twist.Dora jokes, “Daughter, are you sure you're not outlining a new episode of 'Sweet Love'?”“I swear I don't, Mom!” Melissa is thrilled, “Josias was asking sweetly and sincerely. But... Couldn't I cheat on my husband, could I?”Simeon takes her hand, “Melissa, what do you REALLY think of all this?”Melissa turns to him, “What are you talking about, Dad?”“I was wondering if you still feel anything for Josias in your little heart,” Simeon replies in a fatherly tone.Melissa has a slight tremor, “I feel... friendship, I feel companionship for Josias and I share two beautiful children.”Simeon continues to motivate, “I understand, dear daughter.

At Rocha Constructions, Josias is at his desk when his cell phone rings. He sees by the caller ID that is the number of his mansion.“Kate or J.J. is calling.” He answers, “Hello?”“Dad, it's David. We need to talk urgently.” David speaks at a fast pace.“David, did something happen? Why are you so fast-paced? It looks like you ran a marathon.”“I'm nervous. Your wife has insinuated that I am a spy for my mother because of my phone calls!” David complains, making drama.Josias purses his lips. Then he asks, “David, did you do anything to annoy your stepmother?”“I didn't do anything! Your wife is hysterical and keeps getting in trouble; it seems she takes a neurotic pleasure in it!” David exclaims indignantly.Josias doesn't buy the explanation, “How funny, Alan says the same of you. The fact is, I can't make peace with any of you. If you two can

I'll defend you.”Gabriela looks at Josias with shallow water eyes, “I'm so afraid, Josias... Someone thinks we did it on purpose... They sent in an anonymous email, the coward... Possibly this person wants revenge.”Josias sharpens his gaze, “I don't have proof, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kate.”“She wasn't at the pizzeria that night.” Gabriela undoes the hug.“She WAS SUPPOSED to show up that night.” Josias explains, “We were waiting for her when you showed up.

He won't greet her with a romantic kiss.As she sits on the couch, Melissa wonders if Kelvin heard about the conversation she had with her parents, “Kelvin, what's happened that's so bad that you're like this, scowling?”“I want to be the first to tell you so you’ll understand at once that I am your man.” Kelvin retorts in a creepy tone.Such words should stoke the love between Melissa and him, but Melissa feels goosebumps down her spine and curls up on the couch, “I didn't betray you, Kelvin.”“No, I'm not accusing you of anything.” Kelvin explains, “It's Josias I'm talking about.”“This chat is meaningless.” Melissa becomes impatient and no longer cowers, “Josias is happy with Kate, against our expectations.

You won't escape my questions!”Josias grunts and is forcibly awakened, “Urgh... What time was it, what time is it?”“It doesn't matter!” Katherine leans against the head of the bed, “Where have you been? The world exploded yesterday and you were conveniently incommunicado!

At Tiago's house, he and Carmen comment on the email Tiago received about Josias's indiscretion.“I know my master didn't cheat on his wife.” Tiago tries to conform to this hypothesis, “But of course, the other girl took advantage of his company. And who assures me she wasn't doing it on purpose?”Carmen ponders, “Couldn't William have been the photographer?”Tiago rejects the suggestion, “No. Something like that would be too clumsy of him. William already hates my master too much. And he's buying the shares of Rocha Constructions, which means he's slowly wishing for peace among us.”Carmen remains suspicious, “Maybe this talk of buying shares and wanting Caio to live in peace with his cousins is just a façade for something so mean.”Tiago grabs his jacket and puts it on, “Well, let's hope our master gets out of another one of these messes.”Carmen and Tiago kiss

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.

But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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
