Building My Life Chapter 3079 Call Izzy
It had been a few hours since Rodrigo, Kelvin, and Daryl entered Francisco’s hospital room. Francisco lay pale and weak in his bed, barely able to chew the food the nurse had fed him. His frail condition was evident, and the concern in the room was palpable.“If this continues, it’s better to bring processed food or soup for dinner,” the nurse advised gently. “He can’t go without eating, but he barely managed to have lunch.”Rodrigo nodded, trying to keep his composure. “We understand, nurse. Thank you very much.”As the nurse left the room, the soft beeping of the multi-parameter monitor filled the silence, recording Francisco’s weakening heartbeat. His eyes were closed, his breathing slow and labored.“I’m so sorry, Rod,” Daryl said, breaking the stillness.Rodrigo took a deep breath, trying to hold back his emotions. “At least the two brothers will meet in Paradise now,” he replied softly.Daryl nodded, his voice laced with both sorrow and hope. “Along with our mother.”Kelvin chim
Building My Life Chapter 3080 Goodbye, Freire Family
The next day was filled with grief, as it marked the funeral and burial of Francisco Mountain.Wallace had made it just in time for the memorial service and now stood by his mother, Isabel, as she struggled with the pain of loss. Together, they wandered through the familiar rooms of the house, their hearts heavy with memories.“So many years spent in this house, Mom. So many memories...” Wallace said, his voice filled with nostalgia.Isabel nodded. “Yes, first your father... and now Francisco.”Wallace glanced at her with concern. “Are you really going to move? Sell this house?”Isabel sighed, the weight of the decision evident in her response. “Yes, my son. I don’t want to be the widow who dies months later from staying here, alone.”With a nod of understanding, Wallace spoke firmly, “Then it’s decided. You’ll live with me, Vera, and Elton.”As they talked, Josias and Melissa approached. Melissa embraced Isabel once again, offering more support.“The folks from LCN send their condole
Building My Life Chapter 3081 Isabel’s House Became Too Expensive to Buy
Days later, Simeon and Dora visit Caio and Brigitte’s house. “Josias and Melissa finally went to Paris to see his parents,” Simeon comments, sitting down on the sofa. “After that, they’re going to Ibiza.” “I wish I had that chance,” Caio jokes. “But precisely because Josias is traveling, I’m stuck with duties.” “You’ll manage, dear,” Brigitte encourages him, gently patting his right shoulder. Dora stands by the window in the living room, looking out. “Oh my... We passed by Izzy’s house. It’s closed, with a ‘For Sale’ sign in the yard. Who’s going to buy it?” “We’ll hardly know who, dear,” Simeon chuckles. “It’s an ending for the Freire family in Green Park,” Dora sits next to Simeon. “At least we managed to keep the Campos family tradition in this house.” Caio looks around. “Yes. This is the house I lived in when I was one year old, before moving to the penthouse.” “That penthouse now belongs to the Mountain family,” Simeon grumbles, “with Daryl Mountain back.” “Oh, Lord...”
Building My Life Chapter 3082 Sybil Spills the Beans
Caio visits Rosemary and Thierry at the photo studio. He observes various assistants fiddling with their computers, editing and enhancing photos to achieve the best visual quality possible. “I see you have a dedicated team, Thierry,” Caio comments. “Will my nephew inherit the studio in the future?” “I hope so. Although he has the supermarket too,” Thierry comments hopefully. The prospect of being a father has left Thierry smiling as if he were in front of a dentist. Rosemary’s belly hasn’t grown yet, but she smooths it as if she were already six months along. “It could be a girl, Caio.” “Photography can be done by women too,” Caio points to a woman concentrating on photoshopping a picture of wildflowers. “So, any news on the sale of Izzy’s house?” Rosemary asks casually. “It hasn’t been sold yet. Grandma Dora was talking about it,” Caio sits down on a chair. “How much are they asking for it? Maybe someone here is interested.” Thierry offers help. “R$ 125,000.00.” Caio’s resp
Building My Life Chapter 3083 Counting on Daryl’s Support
Caio is in his office, now holding with both hands a large colorful banner of ‘Residential Brigitte,’ showing an aerial view of the finished project. An architect assistant is next to him. “Does reality match the advertisement?” he asked. “Definitely, haven’t you seen the construction site?” Caio smiles satisfied. William enters the office. “Ahem... Son, can we talk?” “Yes, Dad. Fábio, can you give us a moment?” Caio rolls up the banner. The assistant leaves for his desk. Caio gestures towards his cabinet, where William follows him. After closing the door, Caio starts, “So, Dad?” “I think I know how we can get started, son.” William suggests seriously. “It sounds crazy, but have you heard that Daryl Mountain is back in town?” Caio points to a copy of Maggiezine on his desk. On the cover, everything about Francisco. “There’s a page dedicated to his return. Maggie has been quite generous with her older brother,” Caio replied, not getting involved. “I know. But he is now the pa

By the pool at the Rocha Mansion, Dora chats with Simeon while watching him swim. “Do you know who was interested in buying Izzy’s house, my love?” Simeon stops swimming and positions himself at the edge. He adjusts the loose Speedos he’s wearing. “Who?” Dora noticed her husband’s ‘crack’ but decided not to make a joke. “Leonardo Borges, a lawyer from Damascene Lawyers.” “Are you serious?” Simeon raises his eyebrows. “Does he have a family?” “He has a younger brother. Maybe one of them will start a family in the future.” Dora sighs, “A nice-looking guy with a personality like Attorney Borges won’t stay single for long.” “Izzy doesn’t want to sell the house to some single guy who lives in wild parties and promiscuity. That house has sentimental value; it means a lot to her that the buyer is someone responsible and family-oriented,” Simeon comments, returning to his laps. Dora looks at the beach horizon. “Yes, I can understand her perfectly.” William appears from behind and kiss
Building My Life Chapter 3085 Pros and Cons of Modernity
The Teodoro Building was buzzing with excitement at the return of Pedro and Daniela from their honeymoon.Beto, Teresa, Maycon, Rosemary, and Thierry were in the lobby waiting for them.“We’re back!” Daniela exclaimed as she passed through the gate.“YAY!” Everyone cheered and clapped. Teresa hugged Daniela.Pedro entered, loaded with bags. Beto and Thierry rushed to help him, laughing at the scene at the same time.“Hey, Pete! Looks like you got stuck with the pack mule job, huh?”“I bet you carried a lot of bags too!” Pedro retorted with chuckles, “That’s what happens when we go through Paris.”“Did you happen to run into Josias and Melissa while you were there?” Teresa asked curiously.“Yes, and his parents too.” Daniela’s smile faded a bit. “His dad, Mr. Queiroz, is getting really old.”Pedro solemnly added, “Yeah, everyone, we heard what happened around here. Poor Mr. Mountain...”Beto nodded. “I didn’t have the courage to go to the funeral. Strong emotions don’t do well for me,

Daniela and Pedro entered the apartment that would now be reserved for the two of them.“Oh! Home sweet home!” Pedro exclaimed, extremely excited.“And the best part, no dad to bother us,” Daniela replied humorously.“Darling, I found it quite offensive that your dad vanished like this,” Pedro’s smile faded as he looked at his wife with concern.“How so?” Daniela placed one of the bags on the sofa. “He asked for it, right?”“I bet he’s out there complaining in bars, lamenting to his drunken friends about how he has an ungrateful and disloyal daughter.”“You’re exactly right: drunken friends. That doesn’t count,” Daniela shrugged off the idea.“Okay, so it’s good that our children get used to their paternal grandparents.” Pedro sat down on the sofa.Daniela sat beside him. “And your mother?”“The grandmother of our future children will be Tess,” Pedro replied somewhat abruptly.“But our future children will see you call her ‘Tess’ and not ‘Mom’.” Daniela stroked Pedro’s hair.“When the

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?

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

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
