Moacyr smiles and shakes his head in approval. "It is very correct, miss. I tell him this: he needs to be a good man to find a good woman."
"Then he will be able to be happy in love if he listens to you." The door to Romualdo's office opens. "Ah, they're leaving. Excuse me."
When they see that it is Moacyr and not Adrian, the three partners are so relieved that Moacyr ends up laughing.
"I wanted to take a picture to record your relief face!" He gets up and extends his hand, "How are you?"
Romualdo is the first and the only one to shake it. "Let's go to my office."
The two retire. When the door closes, Melissa hurriedly asked, "So, what did you decide?"
"We will help and support Seu Teodoro." Tiago said, "Nobody in Happiness Slum can be charged a City Hall fee that nobody pays! Why only Seu Teodoro's building? And the rest of the houses?"
Melissa can't help but be curious, "And your house, Tiago?"
Josias casts a warning look at
With the defeat of the Brazilian team, only those who are very enthusiastic about soccer continued to follow the championship until Italy was three times championed. Those of Italian descent celebrated without fear of being happy.But, for Teodoro, life went on, because it was necessary to see if the City Hall intended to block his building.On a certain day, he is once again sweeping and dancing to Angela Clemmons's song "Give Me Just a Little More Time" when two people, a couple, approach the entrance and burst out laughing.Teodoro turns to whoever is mocking him, but instead of frowning and scolding, he gives a smile and a welcome."Kids!"He drops the broom and opens his arms. Teodoro's two children embrace him fervently."You always dance with a broom." The daughter says."Vera, you remember very well that I danced with your mother." Teodoro justifies himself.The hug is broken and the boy says: "That's why we think it's
Melissa is extremely shocked when she hears Everaldo say that they are accusing Josias of denying a child. After the initial shock, she reasoned and concluded that it could only have been Pamela.Pamela's baby was born and she continues to slander that her father is Josias! God, what will the child's future be like?Sometimes it would be better for Josias to identify himself as a father to pluck his son out of that crazy woman's clutches! Pamela will be a terrible mother, you can be sure of that!"Everaldo, please call later! So, Josias talks to you and finally, he kills the urge to thank you for everything." Melissa always reminds you of that."How's our champion doing?" Everaldo asks interested."He is living in a rented house, where we will live when we get married, in Green Park," Melissa informs smiling and proud."Didn't I say that God was saving magnificent things for him? And you can be sure that your wedding will be blessed. Anyway,
The next day, Pamela and Wallace return from the hospital with Caio in her arms. They appear in the lobby, with Vera and Beto talking to Teodoro.Teodoro interrupts the conversation with a gesture and points to the 'family' that enters.Pamela looks at Teodoro's children and immediately looks at Beto. The handsome, tall, black-eyed and intimidating boy left her on wobbly legs, even though she held her son in her arms and next to another attractive man. Pamela is like that, she never settles down.Vera, as a woman, already discerns what Pamela is wanting and frowns. In turn, she aims at Wallace and smiles sweetly at the handsome man who appears to be her husband. If Pamela doesn't value the man she has, who knows...Pamela decides to break the silence: "Hello, everyone! Meet Caio, the new resident of this building.""And we have another new resident." Teodoro gestures, "These are my children, Vera and Beto. Beto is going to live in Josias's old room
Josias is the most embarrassed of all. He turns to Uélton and repeats the classic question: "Uélton, didn't you promise that you would discipline your mouth?""Sorry, Josias, but it can't be overlooked!" Uélton justified himself.Milton continues to pull Josias by the shirt. "Come on, Uélton, duty calls us. Look at the owner looking at you."Moacyr, however, has the same sense of humor as Teodoro. He chuckles and excuses Uélton. "The boy is very curious, leave him alone."Uélton smiles in thanks and leaves with Milton. Josias remains thoughtful. Carmen is dating the hateful son of Moacyr Barbosa. But, months ago it looked like Adrian was making a move to Melissa. Has he gotten over it yet?"Well, Seu Moacyr, then you are aware that this young woman is accusing me of abandoning a child that is not mine. And that I am in a close relationship with Melissa, the company secretary." Josias communicates in a serio
Uélton returns home. Isabel is watching the Mexican soap opera 'Los Ricos También Lloran', a novelty in Brazilian lands. She smiles briefly at her son and continues to stare at the TV."Good afternoon, son. How was work?""It was great, mom. I met Josias. Something interesting happened today."The soap opera goes into commercials and Isabel turns to her son. "You can talk. Does it concern us?""Not so much, it concerns Wallace more." Uélton sits on the sofa, "The owner of the house we are building has a son who is dating Carmen. And he informed us that Pamela's baby was born."Isabel raised her eyebrows. "Look, how interesting. But, Wallace didn't come to tell us.""I think he is too busy taking care of everything, or he fears that we will complain.""But, of course, we will complain!" Isabel snorts, "Imagine, he's busy—"Isabel is interrupted because Harold appears, coming from work. "Oops! Good afte
Wallace takes a deep breath to face another storm with his family. "Well, I just came to tell you that Pamela's baby was born. When you want to visit her and meet Caio, you can feel free. She... resigned from the supermarket to stay home."Uélton suspects that the last part of Wallace's sentence was a lie, because of the pause he made and because he stared at the floor. When we speak the truth, we look at the person we speak to."Son, that is out of the question." Harold speaks on behalf of the whole family, "This baby is nothing of ours. He is not my grandson and he is not Uélton's nephew. And he is not your son either!"Wallace adopts an icy stance and says mechanically: "Like it or not, he was registered in the hospital files as being my son, and as soon as possible we will register him in the registry office as being mine.""Why are you doing this, my son, why?" Isabel cries out like the heroine of the soap opera."It's because I
Josias announces to Cristina and Raymond Chaves that he intends to assume Caio's supposed paternity; since Pamela insists on saying that he is the father. But, he doesn't intend to live much less marry Pamela.As an addict, Cristina cannot bear the brief period of abstinence and turns the television back on. Raymond is enraged."Woman, I ordered that damn TV off!""I NEED to know what's going to happen to the protagonist, dammit!" She roars back, out of control."Let's go to the kitchen!" He tells Josias. The two men get up. Josias is a little embarrassed that Raymond is still wrapped in a towel. Is he the father of Jeremiah?In the kitchen, the two pull chairs from the dining table and sit down. Raymond calms down and asks, "So are you going to assume the baby's paternity? Are you the father yourself?""No, I am not the father. I never touched your daughter, Mr. Chaves, although I admit that I think she is incredibly attractive and beautifu
Jeremiah opens the door to his room and opens his eyes wide when he sees Pamela outside."Pamela! What happened? Shouldn't you be on rest?" He asks genuinely curious. In other circumstances, he would love to have Pamela visit for the two to get tangled in unrestrained conduct, but now?"What can I do?" She asks, entering the room uninvited, "You can't be seen down there anymore, especially now that Teodoro has called his son to act as foreman.""Do you think that Beto came here for this? I don't believe it. I think it's for another reason." Jeremiah closes the door. He is wearing overalls, as he was leaving for work."Why would he be here? I always thought Seu Teodoro was lonely." Pamela asks as she sits on the bed."I think Seu Teodoro is about to die and his son has already come here to visit the boardinghouse and take over afterward." Jeremias smiles hopefully, "I hope this happens. I am sure that if this Beto takes over, he will remove the ban
