Melissa is totally astonished and dumbfounded to discover that she is an aunt and that she was an aunt in 1980. She starts to shake her head as if she were waking up from a nightmare.
"But... but... Will!" She gets up and walks away from the two, "Will, what you meant?"
Josias approaches her. "Honey, I know this is a shock to you..."
"Did you know?" Melissa gets annoyed to see Josias calm, "Did you know and didn't you tell me?"
"It was a personal matter between you and William. He asked me to keep it a secret." Josias responds seriously.
"When I asked you to get along and become friends, do you decide to do this by hiding things from me and making a fool of me?" Melissa crosses her arms in anger.
William gets up. "I didn't mean to make a fool of you, sis! It's just a difficult subject to talk about."
The office climate becomes tense. Melissa remains unhappy.
"Will, when Pamela became pregnant for the first time, you kept your m
Simeon returns from work and finds the family more harmonious and calm. Dora approaches him and kisses him with madness and passion. William and Melissa vibrate and tease."Little sister, sooner or later we will be three children!" William scoffs.Dora and Simeon move away and are slightly embarrassed in front of their children; as if they were the children and Melissa and William were the parents."You two, stop being silly!" Dora jokes, "I am welcoming your father, who spends all day toiling in that mechanic shop."Simeon sits in the armchair, "But who's going to work in this house is my boy too! Speak up, champion: did everything go well in the job interview?""Josias was the one who interviewed me," William speaks with a smile so wide that Simeon got suspicious."Ehr... and everything went well?" He asks without understanding."Yes, father, Josias not only hired me but promised to help me!" William tells Simeon everything that hap
The next day, Moacyr is being introduced to William. Josias took him to the construction site to give moral support.Before the introductions, Josias whispers in his ear: "Will, the owner of this house has a son who is dating Carmen. They don't know the truth yet.""Better to stay that way, so our plan doesn't leak," William muttered under his breath.So William prints his best smile when he meets the owner of the building: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Barbosa.""Will we have another worker?" Moacyr asks in surprise."We got another customer, Seu Moacyr." Josias explains with a smile, "Some workers will be relocated to the new construction. I hope you don't mind.""Well, as long as my house looks beautiful like the advertising, I don't care." He jokingly responds. Everyone laughs.Uélton approaches and extends his hand to William. "How are you, man? No hard feelings."Josias doesn't understand what Uélton meant, but Wil
Jeremiah takes advantage of the fact that Simeon does not know that he is the villain of the story and asks for more explanations: "What do you mean by that, Simeon? Did your son give you a grandson, and do you want him to take care of the son alone? What about the mother?""The situation is as follows, Jeremiah." The two go to the water fountain in search of privacy, "My son revealed to me that he impregnated a girl who caused a lot of problems for my daughter. They were both best friends, but they fought over my little princess's boyfriend. This ex-friend approached my son, they both did what they shouldn't and now she has given birth to their son. This girl is totally inadequate to be the mother of my grandson."Jeremiah listens to everything without interrupting until now: "And how are you so sure that this girl is not worthy to be with her son? Wouldn't you be being too cruel to her?""If you knew this unworthy, you would think the same as I do," Simeon res
Adrian, like many stupid men who like to show off in front of his girlfriend, decides to take Carmen to the construction of his father's house to show who the boss is. In addition to strolling around the job site without a helmet, he keeps scolding the workers, thinking that they are working in the wrong way."This Silva Constructions is the worst construction company in history, dear." Adrian disparages the company and the workers react in revolt, but without the courage to contest."Do what, dear?" Carmen joins his snobbish behavior, "There are no more companies like they used to be. I bet the material used is second-rate.""Yes, I hope the house doesn't collapse on top of my father while he's asleep." He speaks loudly, for everyone to hear.Meanwhile, William is masterfully preparing the plaster, his strong arms allowed him to learn quickly. Uélton approaches with an empty can for him to fill."Uélton, do you know who is that blond
Josias is talking to Tiago and Romualdo in the last room, the door is closed. Romualdo is in his presidential seat, his suit and tie giving him a CEO-worthy appearance. Tiago and Josias still wore a dress shirt and pants; they dare not wear a tie."Another client in Green Park, in the neighborhood where you live, Josias," Romualdo announces, "We are out of the necessary workers for so much demand.""Soon the competition starts to advertise more aggressively." Tiago speaks as if he is rooting for it, he smiles with excitement, "Come on! We guarantee ourselves.""God is blessing us." Josias opines, remembering Everaldo."Speaking of God, have you ever met Everaldo at Green Park Church?" Romualdo asks.Josias shakes his head. "The pastor there said that Everaldo left on a Mission and will only be back next year."The disappointment in Josias's tone is evident. He had only moved to Green Park to be reunited with Everaldo. Tiago takes the floor.<
Pamela is paralyzed with dread when she finds out that they are trying to snatch Caio out of her arms. What a revolting injustice! She barely got used to the idea of being a mother, she is still learning to apply talcum powder and put diapers on her son!"Wallace is about to arrive, so we'd better talk to you in detail tomorrow." She tries to close the door, but Jeremiah stops her by placing his hand."You still haven't confirmed me. Caio's father is Josias or William?" Jeremiah is insistent and inconvenient. Does he not realize the danger of being caught by Wallace?"Let's talk tomorrow!" She hisses, "You already know the answer!"As Pamela feared, someone enters the corridor and finds the two of them talking. But, it is not Wallace. It's Vera Reis."Pamela? Are you all right?" She asks.Pamela looks paler than when she was giving birth. Jeremiah wants to dig a hole to bury himself. He should have left while it was time! Now it's another
The next day, Vera is talking to Teodoro and Beto at her father's apartment. They decided not to talk in the kitchen so as not to be caught by Pamela or Jeremiah."After he showered, Pamela got up immediately and took the clean clothes for Wallace to put on in the bathroom, to prevent Wallace from leaving the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist." Vera laughs, "Too bad, she didn't let me see the 'husband's' ripped body..."Beto no longer finds it so funny. "Watch out, sis, don't get contaminated by the promiscuous one.""Hey, we're talking about my future husband." Vera replies in a mocking tone, "I will see a lot more on the honeymoon."Beto purses his lips and Teodoro is embarrassed, "Calm down, dear daughter, one step at a time. No rush, so as not to spoil the plan.""I need to continue to come right at this time when he comes home from work." Vera goes on to say, "Coming here with her alone is not enough.""Now with me, th
"Josias, my love, can we talk in the kitchen?" Melissa asks. Her serious, dark face is making Josias worried."God, what was that calling about?" Josias asks and decides to follow Melissa into the kitchen. The phone rings again and Romualdo answers it."Silva Construction Company, Romualdo Silva, how can I help you?" He frowns, "Ah, young Mr. Barbosa... what was it this time?"While Adrian tells the whole story of yesterday in his version, omitting everything wrong he did, Josias and Melissa are already talking in the kitchen."Josias, I want to be straightforward. Since we're getting married, we can't have any secrets between us. A while ago, Adrian got in touch over the phone, we started talking and he said he's dating Carmen. She spoke a lot of lies about us. I was furious and started to disprove it, so Adrian said we could meet up to talk in person."Josias puts his hand on her shoulder, patient and understanding. "And you went."Melissa
