After the meeting ended, Mayor Tobias approaches Josias.
“Hey, hey, hey, buddy! Come here, there is something I want to discuss with you.”
“I’m listening,” Josias replies between chuckles.
“First, congratulations on forty years.” Tobias gently states, “Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as I thought.”
“Thanks.” Josias laughs.
“Secondly, speaking of homeless street children, I have another project that needs to be put into practice. We require another orphanage in the city. I was thinking of honoring it with... how about your best friend, the funny one?”
Josias feels a lump in his throat, “Uélton Freire Orphanage?”
“Yes, excellent!” Tobias nods, “This shelter would specialize in boys. According to research carried out by my advisors and the Housing Department, the majority of street children are boys.”

Throw that bottle in the trash! We’re not going to celebrate anything!”Daryl approaches her, leaving the bag on one of the islands, “Why not, honey?”“I thought we were going to welcome our son.” Diane frets, “What you mean is that we are going to have an interviewer or an inspector who will still evaluate us, to see if we’re decent and responsible people to adopt someone.”“Exactly,” Daryl is confused, “Honey, you know how the

Oops! I forgot, her thing is beggars!”Pedro takes a deep breath, “Pat, I know how upset you are—”“No, man, you don’t, and I hope you never do!” Patrick exclaims, shaking the bag of bread, “May your girlfriend become your wife and mother of many of your children to continue the Reis family.

In the lobby of the Teodoro Building, Thierry realized that fourteen-year-old Pedro Chaves Reis is mature enough to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.“Pedro, I know you are nervous, but allow me to explain.”“No, I’m not nervous.” Pedro explains, “I’m disgusted, indignant, revolted, but nervous, not so much. Nervousness would mean punching you, but I don’t have enough muscle mass for that yet.”“Why do you think everything would be solved by punching me?” Thierry leans against the news bulletin board, “Punching me won’t bring Rosemary back.”“And you’re dying to get her back, correct?” Pedro pounces.“She never needed to leave here in the first place.” Thierry shakes his head, “How come the family didn’t convince her to stay?

A clipboard and red pen rested in her arms.She glanced at the living room clock and sighed. Avril Lavigne’s song “Complicated” didn’t cheer her up.“Mr. Mountain, we definitely got off on the wrong foot.” She mutters, “If Mrs. Mountain doesn’t have the proper commitment to receive me—”“Calm down, Mrs. Brito.” Daryl was buttoning a dress shirt as he was at the pool.Mrs. Brito pretended not to, but she checked Daryl’s physique as he wore his shirt and smiled out of the corner of her mouth.The bell rings and Daryl goes to answer it, tucking the bottom of his shirt into his dress pants.Opening the door, Diane gasps, &

One rejection is not the end of the world. Have you tried other orphanages?”Daryl isn’t crying publicly, but his red eyes indicate that he did it privately, “So far, we’ve only received contact from this orphanage. This means that the others have written us off right away.”Francisco serves them chamomile tea, “Don’t worry, you’ll make your dream come true.”Diane sobs, “I’m seriously considering getting checked out again with Dr. Silvana!

Gabriela felt punched by her father-in-law’s direct and caustic question.“That’s not fair, Vernon.”But Vernon bursts out laughing upon hearing this, “NO! My granddaughter is learning to speak, she already says ‘daddy’, ‘grandpa’, and ‘grandma’, but she doesn’t say ‘mommy’! She hates you and I rejoice in that!”Gabriela was going to slap Vernon, but she remembers that she needs the job and holds her frozen hand in the air.“Put that hand down! We’re not on ‘Sweet Love’ for you to stoop yourself to that cardboard scene.”Gabriela lowers her hand, but smiles wickedly, “Looks like this soap opera was canceled, huh?
