Building My Life Chapter 2764 Reuben’s Messy Message
At Rocha Constructions, Josias received Reuben’s mistaken message in his office.He reads, “Hello, Uncle Josias. Sorry for my delay. Carol and I are going to talk to Grandpa Frank and Grandma Isabel about getting married before one of them passes away. Carol had the same idea as me. Meanwhile, Cláudio Guzman slept with a committed woman again—WHAT?”Josias was under the impression that the last part wasn’t for Reuben to type. Caio entered the office at this moment.“Uncle Josias, Reuben wasn’t at his desk.”Josias chuckles. “He’s trying to convince their grandparents not to die before he and Carol get married.”Caio stood still for a few seconds, unable to follow Reuben’s logic.Josias laughs more. “I know, it sounds crazy, but Carol came to me with the same idea. They want to get married this year so that Simeon, Dora, Francisco, and Isabel can be present.”Caio nodded, understanding better. “Ah, okay. Well, here are the projects I approved.” He comments later, “At least, Grandpa Sim
Building My Life Chapter 2765 It’s Better This Way
At LCN, Josias and João Paulo discussed the unrestrained conduct of Cláudio and Karen.Josias pulled up a chair and sat down to talk more. “Who profits from something like that, little brother?”João Paulo smiles, “Isn’t it obvious to you?”“Felipe and Kelvin Mountain,” Josias answered for himself.“They expect you to do something.” João Paulo tries to help Felipe.“Are you aware that Felipe is in love with Caroline?” Josias asks suddenly.“I didn’t know that. Wow, Caroline always loved Reuben. Can no one convince Felipe otherwise?”“Maybe if he owns Crystal Blue, he’ll hang out with more people.” Josias crosses his fingers thoughtfully.“And that will get the attention of women.” João Paulo smiles mischievously, “A handsome guy like Felipe, single, managing the hottest restaurant in Lagoon City... really, he’ll become someone coveted by the opposite sex!”“Then we understand.” Josias gets up. “Thanks for the help, little brother.”“My help?” João Paulo bounces on his chair.Josias sm
Building My Life Chapter 2766 Don’t Expose Yourself Indecently
Rocha Hotel, Jane’s office.Alan was working intently, typing something into the computer. Around the computer, printed sheets of various reports were abundant on the desk.The door opened, and David entered fearfully. “Alan, did you call me?”“Sit down, David.” Alan pointed to a chair previously positioned on the other side of the desk.David sat, expecting reprimands. “What happened?”“I received an email from Lauro Medeiros informing me that you’re unable to carry out the tasks of a bellboy.” Alan didn’t take his eyes off the computer.David gets angry about this. “Can we at least talk face to face?”Alan stops typing and looks at his half-brother indifferently. “Don’t take it personally.”David did exactly the opposite, “Oh, of course! You’ll now take advantage of your position as a boss to oppress me.” He chuckles derisively, “You know, I shouldn’t even be surprised. Why would it be any different?”“Not all brothers in the world have the same story as us, David,” Alan replied.“N
Building My Life Chapter 2767 Goodbye, Adelaide and Amoreira
Adelaide’s apartment was too small for the guests.Those who attended were spread across the kitchen, dinner room, and living room. Some guests sat on chairs and sofas while others stood. Food and drinks were served by some of the guests without caring about it. The radio echoing “Famous Last Words” by My Chemical Romance cheered those present.Amoreira and Adelaide were the center of attention. They were on one of the throne-like sofas, with the guests acting like court subjects paying obeisance to them.Josias and Melissa approached them. “Congratulations, you two. I hope you guys are happy.”“Thank you, Mr. Rocha.”“Adelaide, don’t worry. Our famous detective Amoreira won’t disappoint you.” Josias spoke as if it were a promise.“I don’t want to get run over.” Amoreira joked, alluding to Ulysses’ death.The joke could shock or embarrass, but Adelaide laughed heartily. She was completely over her previous husband who only brought her disappointment and hurt.In one part of the living
Building My Life Chapter 2768 Is It A Good Idea?
Amoreira and Adelaide got up from the sofa. Everyone realized that a speech was about to take place and fell silent.Reuben paused the music on the stereo so as not to disturb them.“We’re listening.” Josias encouraged the couple.Amoreira took the floor, “Good evening, everyone. We’re happy to have you at this celebration and farewell. I’m celebrating with my new wife the formalization of the union, thus being able to call our relationship a ‘marriage’. And we say goodbye because we intend to build our future in Linhares.”Everyone already knew this, but hearing it again from those involved wasn’t an easy task.Adelaide continued, “My company headquarters needs more care. My late husband Ulysses intended to stay here for a while, taking care of Lagoon City’s business, and then return. He should never have let himself get involved in one of my nephews’ troubles. But, it happened... and you know the rest.”Amoreira continued, “Although I know you’ll miss me, you can always count on my

The day Felipe was waiting for arrived.Alone in the master suite of the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin was ‘gently’ woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. While the alarm clock emitted a discreet and soft ring, the cell phone ring was loud and made the device vibrate.Kelvin had to wake up and answer before his cell phone fell off the bedside table. “Hello?”“Kelvin, I hope I didn’t wake you up.” Josias identified himself while sitting at the desk in his office at Rocha Mansion.“Actually, I was counting 5390 sheep.” Kelvin teased, then yawned, “Tell me, what do you order?”“I understand that Crystal Blue is left without a manager. What does that mean?”Kelvin had the feeling that Josias already knew, but he just wanted to hear his side. “Huh... Where do I start? Did you read your brother’s article reporting an escapade between my ex-girlfriend and Cláudio Guzman?”“I can’t even fathom the idea that you’d be her boyfriend, but that’s okay. Go on,” Josias answered ironically.“Well, a

“What did you say, Jack?” Octavio widened his eyes, “And until when did you intend to tell me this? Oh yes, you’re saying now...”Sofia, Jane, and even Augusto found Octavio’s disjointed sentences were weird. Something happened...“OK. The family is here. I’ll let them know, bye!” Octavio ended the phone call.Jane shivered. “Honey, what happened?”“Bad news?” Sofia didn’t know whether to stay or leave the kitchen.Octavio sighed. “Bad news, guys. My father isn’t very well. Likely, he won’t make it past this year.”“Oh, darling...” Jane covered her mouth with her hands.“Is he also in São Paulo with your brother?” Sofia wanted to know the Motta family more deeply.“Exactly. And there, he has the best medical care.” Octavio swallows hard, “But there are times when there’s no other way. Maybe my father’s time is coming.”Jane informs her husband, “I was letting Sofia know that maybe she doesn’t need to come here anymore, honey.”Octavio stares at Sofia, “Thank you very much for the help
Building My Life Chapter 2771 Defending the Youngest Brother
At Rocha Constructions, Octavio was sad at his desk. The other architects worked at their desks or computers. Some exchanged ideas with others.Octavio smiled when he noticed that the majority were exchanging opinions with Caio as if he was already accepted among them as the new leader.Caio saw Octavio’s face and addressed him. “Octavio? What happened, buddy?”“Caio, congratulations on demonstrating leadership. You’ll need it for when I’m absent.”“Absent, you?” Caio’s eyes widened.“Yes. My father is sick and may not make it through this year.” Octavio replied sadly.“Oh, I’m so sorry!” Caio pulls out another chair and sits down. “I remember Mr. Motta.”“Yes, he is a nice old man. He’s managed to live this far, but I think my mom is calling him now.” Octavio tried to smile at the joke, but couldn’t.“Are you going to São Paulo?” Caio asks cautiously.“I might not even be able to attend your graduation ceremony.” Octavio laments, “I don’t know if I’ll make it back to Lagoon City.

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
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.

Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. 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? Behaving?”“Cont

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
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.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
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

At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? 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

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
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. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. 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. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. 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
