Wallace appears at home frowning to the extreme, too outraged to say 'good evening' to the family. However, they want to know what their son's day was like.
"Good evening, son." Isabel greets him, "What face is that, did something happen?"
"How about you tell me, mom?" Wallace replies fiercely.
Harold immediately gets up. "Oops, lower the tone, my son! You are talking to your mother, and not to the vagabonds around the corner!"
The mood immediately becomes tense. Uélton leaves the room to witness the discussion and help where he can.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"I came to talk to you about the 'harlot', who was cursed by you this morning," Wallace responds coldly, shooting his brother with his gaze.
Uélton and Isabel face each other while Harold asks, "What is going on here, who we are talking about?"
"We are talking about my girlfriend!" Wallace says vociferously, "The woman who was chased and humiliated in the m
The Freire family was shocked by Wallace's announcement that he was looking to move to Pamela's apartment. What does he mean?"Wallace, you can't be serious!" Harold finally yells, "How can that be possible? You are taking on a problem that is not yours!""What do I do, father, if whoever should take the child, does not?" Wallace is about to cry. He moves away from the rest. "What do you want me to do? She has no one...""She has no one because she wants to!" Isabel screams."You are very cruel. That's why she is like that, aloof and aggressive. Pamela does not attack, she defends herself; you are the ones who provoke her!""Nothing like that, brother, she is the one who starts the confusion. It has been like this since I met her; since she started chasing Josias!" Uélton screamed, too, desperately. This is not happening!Wallace shakes his head stubbornly. "There is no way. Excuse me; I'm going to pack my things."Harold stops
Contrary to what Uélton thinks, Wallace did not have a whole night of shamelessness with Pamela. She slept on the bed and he slept on the cold floor, wearing only a few blankets. And Pamela still felt entitled to be upset when she saw that Wallace was going to sleep dressed."I thought you slept naked," she says, smiling slyly."I don't have that habit; and even if I had, how am I going to sleep without clothes on this cold floor? Do you want me to get pneumonia?" Wallace scolds her.Upset, Pamela doesn't even say 'good night' and lies down to sleep.So, the next day, they wake up and go to the bathroom. While Wallace is in the shower, with the shower curtain closed, Pamela brushes her teeth and decides to ask about Josias."Honey, do you know what Josias has been doing in Seu Romualdo's new company? It seems that he is no longer a bricklayer assistant.""He is no more." Wallace's voice is heard from inside the box, "Uélton sai
"Then that's it?" Josias asks, "Are you really going to be with Pamela, even after everything that happened, even if it cost your family's happiness?""What else can I do?" Wallace revolts and looks at him harshly, "You guys don't want to understand me. You don't want to understand Pam. She needs someone, and I want to help her.""The question is if she deserves to be helped." Uélton disdains, with a twisted nose, "Let's see if she will remain grateful.""Please, go away!" Pamela now speaks pleadingly, "You came too early; we just woke up. We don't want to ruin our Saturday with you here."Josias and Uélton look at each other and decide to leave. After closing the door, Pamela collapses on the bed."Phew, I thought they would never leave! What a bunch of inconveniences!""I'm going to the bakery to get some bread, dear. Wait for me." Wallace says this and approaches his girlfriend. The two exchange a kiss lightly and he leaves.
In the afternoon, a soccer match is taking place in a medium-sized stadium. It is the municipal championship where the Happiness Slum team is participating.Melissa, Dora, and Simeon are in the stands, cheering effusively for the team and for William, who has been devastating as a striker since the beginning of the season.But when news of Pamela's pregnancy surfaced, everything changed in William's mind.The enormous possibility that he was the father moved him deeply, and this has been affecting his performance on the field. In some matches, the coach was so furious that he left William on the bench.However, this match was decisive for qualifying for the quarterfinals, and the team was from the neighborhood of Saint Gabriel. The team was the favorite and has already been declared champion by the fans.Fabrício's memory had given the Campos family one more reason to root for William to defeat the team.But, the players seemed to be
"He was more lost than a dizzy cockroach and ended up getting a violent foul. I think he broke his leg in such a way that he will never walk again."Jeremiah narrates the result of the soccer match yesterday, for Wallace and Pamela in the kitchen. Teodoro prepared eggs with bacon with furrowed eyebrows. How annoying Jeremiah is!"Guys, how absurd, I'm sorry for William!" Pamela speaks in genuine concern. Wallace strokes her hair."Your concern moves me, dear. I'll look for them later." Wallace praises her.Jeremiah stares at Pamela and cannot contain an ironic chuckle.Teodoro approaches the table with the frying pan still hot. The three need to get away, as Teodoro did not warn them."Um, I really wanted bacon!" Pamela provokes Teodoro. He just looks at her like a sheepdog about to attack her.Josias enters dressed socially to go to the Church. "Ah, but what a joke is this? Are you out of gas on your stove?""Humph!" Pamela sn
Dora hurries into the room, startled by her son's screams. "Hey, what's going on here? What is this circus?""Mommy, get those bastards out of here!" William screams shamefully."Gentlemen, you are bothering my son!" Dora turns to the visitors.Simeon does not agree with his wife. "Honey, don't support William's tantrum! These are Uélton's parents; they came to see how our son is doing.""I was much better off before you came, so get out of here!" William's face is red with anger.Harold takes offense and replies, "Young man, I now realize that you did not deserve to represent our community. What a shameful behavior!""You don't offend my son that he just had an operation!" Dora approaches Harold menacingly.Isabel stands between them. "Excuse me, darling, do you have a problem with my husband? We both better solve it!"Dora purses her lips and looks at Isabel with disdain. "Better not. I don't want to disturb the order
At the hospital entrance, two burly security guards expel Josias and the Freire family after the confusion in the previous chapter."And next time, we'll call the police!" One of them screamed.After they leave, Isabel asks, "Aren't we going to eat at the restaurant anymore?"Harold kisses his wife on the forehead, without answering.Josias looks at Uélton and he shrugs.Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Wallace is standing at the door of the ladies' room. Pamela comes out from it with her makeup remade. She gestures that she was going to keep the case in her bag, but she has no bag."Ah, I left my bag at home; it didn't fit in the suitcase." Pamela regrets and keeps the case in her jeans pocket."Are you feeling better, dear?" Wallace asks."I'm going to charge these people for plastic surgery. I've never been so slapped so many times in my life. I don't think even a soap opera villain has this treatment! How am I going t
A few days pass. William continued to recover in the hospital. The certainty that he is the father of Pamela's baby has given him a new reason to live. The doctors were happy and concluded that it was William's psychologist who helped him heal.Meanwhile, Pamela was fortunately chosen and hired to work as a cashier at the supermarket. Great service for her who is pregnant: she can sit and validate the customers' purchases and get paid without everyone suspecting that she is generating a child.When the pregnancy is more evident, it will be too late to do anything. Unless the supermarket owner is too cruel to fire her at eight months pregnant.Teodoro receives loaders from a furniture store carrying a refrigerator and stove, being guided by Pamela as if she were the madam of some luxury condominium."This way, gentlemen." She says in a pompous way, "Ah, Seu Teodoro! I hope you don't mind, I'm buying some things for my apartment.""Ah, good to know,"
