Pedro, with his shirt on, was at Café Montanha having a snack and a regular black coffee. The radio was playing "Destination Calabria" by Alex Gaudino & Crystal Waters, setting the mood in the café.Rodrigo passed by him and saw the pensive man. "Can I help you with something, buddy?""How's Frank doing?" Pedro smiled, trying to cheer up."Frank's doing well." Rodrigo pulled up a chair and sat down, "The little guy is going to grow up to be handsome like his father. I don't know why Nadia wants me to buy a rifle."Pedro chuckled. "It's to scare away the young girls who might fall for your son."Rodrigo smiled proudly, thinking about the day he'd find out his son was charming all the girls in the neighborhood."Anyway, you seem more upbeat now." Rodrigo didn't let Pedro off the hook."Okay, you're very curious!" Pedro teased, "I'm dating Daniela Lombardi. It's official now.""Oh, congratulations!" Rodrigo and Pedro high-fived."Thank you. I'm just a little worried about my friend Felip

Pedro returned from Downtown to the Teodoro Building.Beto was waiting for him to talk about something he needed to know."Hi, Dad. What's with the look?" Pedro was taken aback by his father's somber expression."Son, I hope you don't get discouraged. I know how much you want Daniela as your wife." Beto begins to speak, first checking something on the computer."This can wait." Pedro shuts off the monitor."You're right." Beto goes to the radio and adjusts the station. The song "Shut Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol echoed through the lobby."What's the problem?" Pedro swallowed hard."I talked to your future father-in-law and he's not willing to accept you," Beto summarized the conversation."What did he say?" Pedro's eyes widened, "But this can't be serious! Why would he refuse?""He doesn't want his princess living in the building forever." Beto gestures around the room."HE can live here, why can't she?" Pedro tries to see the logic."Son, every father wants the best for his daughter. Fo

Not after she found out that Kelvin welcomed the new neighbor..."How is Kelvin?""Tell Quantium Agency that I approve the idea for the new commercial for our store," Angela replied without thinking about the last question."Did you hear me?" Karen thought Angela was doing this on purpose."Huh?" Angela raised her eyes from the laptop to her, "Oh, you asked about Kelvin Mountain?""Cut the last name, there’s no need to be so formal." Karen crossed her arms and sarcastically smiled."Karen, if you're insinuating that something is going on between me and Mr. Mountain, forget it." Angela continued typing on the laptop, showing she was working, "Mr. Mountain and I just talked as neighbors. He hasn't seen me anymore.""Not because he wanted to avoid you, right?" Karen probed her boss."I think that's what he wants," Angela impatiently replied, "Otherwise, he'd have reached out or called me

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio approaches Benjamin at the entrance of the kitchen. In the back, the chefs are working hard to serve lunch."Speak, Manager Cogo," Benjamin wipes the sweat from his forehead."Today you were cooking, Chef Teixeira?" Eugenio asks jokingly."Yes, sometimes I need to get my hands dirty to show the newcomers how it's done," Benjamin smiles."You're good friends with David Rocha, right?" Eugenio asks curiously."Yes, the poor boy doesn't have a happy life around here. He has some issues with Alan and Reuben, but I try to ignore it and help him avoid problems," Benjamin replies."Tell that to Mr. Rocha." Eugenio's smile fades, "When he was here and I handed him the report, Mr. Rocha implied that David didn't deserve to be in the hotel. I had called David earlier and he showed up precisely at that moment. A little more, and the two half-brothers would have come to blows in my office.""That's a big problem," Benjamin scratches his head."That's why I wanted to kno

My cousin mentioned an engagement party for someone related to your father," Luís asked, astonished.David sneers, "Don't bother. I wasn't invited.""I don't understand...""The fiancé was raised by my father for many years as if he were his own son. And his father is dating the mother whose son is engaged to my little sister," David explains didactically, "So, to prevent the party from being ruined, they barred me.""Your sister's fiancé is Reuben Freire, your father's secretary," Luís smiles, "I'm getting in with some interesting people.""Believe me, Reuben Freire is not interesting at all.

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.

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?

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

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
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

Chapter 3143 Return
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
