Later, Vera is complaining to Wallace in their apartment. Since it is already obvious to everyone about their so-called engagement, there is no reason for her not to visit him.
Wallace hands Vera a cup of chamomile tea. "Don't worry, my love. I think you'd better never look for that wretch girl again."
"But, I feel guilty, my darling!" Vera goes on pretending to be a good girl, "I need her to understand that we didn't mean to hurt her."
Wallace, however, smiles mischievously. "The way and ease with which you call me 'darling' and 'sweetheart' makes me think otherwise."
Vera first widens her eyes and then looks down at her cup, embarrassed.
Wallace goes on, "At some point, you started to like me. It's not possible, Vera."
Vera will learn as well as Pamela that Wallace is not a man to be easily fooled.
In fact, since Wallace already knows that Vera is as or more of a liar and slut than Pamela, he is just testing and teasing her, wanting
William is sitting on the living room floor, calling Caio to walk over to him. Dora is in the corner of the room with her camera, recording the historic moment."Come, sonny, come with Daddy!" William encourages, being very affectionate with his son."Dad-dy!" That's all Caio can speak at the moment. Within his limitations, Caio manages to walk to his father.Melissa arrives still in her nightgown and gets watery-eyed. "Awn, mom, he's getting better and better at walking.""Yes, and he is eating fruit." Dora replies like the proud grandmother, "Soon his teeth will develop, and then we'll move on to more solid foods. Ah, how time goes by!""When he came to us, he was just a little baby boy." Melissa comments.William is hugging his son. "Yes, but as the years go by he will grow up to be very strong and butch just like his father. And he won't get any sluts pregnant at fifteen as his idiot father did."Melissa and Dora look at each othe
Josias and Melissa enter the car dealership, and to their surprise, the place is playing the song "Drive" by The Cars. Everything is to do with what they want.Josias already knows enough English to understand the song and starts laughing. Melissa doesn't catch it and gets impatient."Argh, apparently the secretary here will have to take an English course.""I still don't know fluently." Josias tries to reassure her. "In the future, we'll go to a course together, when we get back from our honeymoon."A car salesman approaches with a feline smile. Josias's blue suit and Melissa's blazer make the guy think that they are going to leave with a brand new car and zero kilometers. "Can I help the very elegant couple?""We came to buy a jalopy." Josias humbly announces, "Where is the used car section?"The seller bursts out laughing. "Very good sir, I like your sense of humor. If you want to come this way..."Melissa slaps the hand the seller
Ernesto stops at the entrance to the Crystal Blue restaurant and finds Josias and Octavio behaving like two children discovering a new toy. He shakes his head in the negative and continues on his way."Excuse me," he speaks to the receptionist, "Josias Rocha is expecting me."Since the receptionist knows that Josias's table is for three, Ernesto can only be the third. So he lets him pass and leads him to the table.Josias and Octavio greet Ernesto. The waiter serves three glasses of wine while the food still arrives. Ernesto chooses the most expensive option on the menu."Mr. Paes," Octavio begins, "it is an honor to be able to serve such an illustrious client. Here are some projects that I idealized for the construction of your boss's house."Ernesto takes the floor plan and unfolds it as best he can in his lap. What little he sees has already impressed him. "Um, excellent. Will one of those rooms be mine?""Feel free to choose, sir." Josia
Josias and Octavio performed the miracle of eating and paying for the dishes. The Crystal Blue restaurant with dishes named in French was not cheap, so they couldn't afford to waste food with so many people starving in the world.But when Josias went back to the office and told everyone, he felt like he was going to throw up all the exquisite lunch. What he feared most, has happened: the loan shark has found him and wants to collect the debt.Melissa, Romualdo, and Tiago are stunned by the news and the amount of the debt."More than six thousand reais?" Romualdo sneers, "Bunch of thieves! For that crime, he should already be arrested.""But, what are we waiting for?" Melissa encourages them, "We have all the data on the loan shark! We finally know his name: José Augusto Rios. Let's go to the police station right now!""Let's take it easy, Melissa." Tiago ponders suspiciously, "Is that the real name? Since he made up the story about wanting t
Melissa is having an afternoon snack in the elegant coffee shop with Elisa, Stacy, and now Natalia. Natalia is amazed to have an exquisite snack. She had ordered shrimp pie and was startled to see the waiter hand her a huge rectangular piece."Wow, all that?" She stares at Elisa, "Won't it get expensive?"Elisa just smiles gently and makes an aristocratic gesture for the waiter to leave.Melissa is distressed and tries to calm herself with a piece of chocolate cake with chocolate truffle frosting. "Girls, I don't want to be a widow before my time.""Don't worry, honey." Elisa smiles encouragingly, "With the right building, you guys will feel safe. Josias has already bought a great car, so he won't be vulnerable riding the bus anymore. And now there's no construction site in Rainbow Garden for him to roam around in.""Yeah, and if there was, that Milton guy could take over the place." Stacy comments."You're already recording the name of the
Wallace cannot digest the news that Pamela is pregnant for the third time. Her uterus has no day off!"What do you mean by that? I broke up with Pamela weeks ago! I didn't sleep with her, that's not my child!" Wallace defends himself screaming.Vera stands up. "Wait, Beto; how do you know Pamela is pregnant?""Everyone is talking about it at the supermarket." He replies with a grim face.Wallace laughs again. "Oh sure, they lie and you seriously believe it. I thought you were a trained obstetrician to speak with such propriety!"Beto doesn't want to stay under: "If her baby isn't yours, then you want to make one with my sister, right? What did I just catch here?""Don't change the subject!" Wallace vociferates, "Vera and I are getting married, she is already my wife and I can do anything I want with her! Now as for Pamela, who can't guarantee me that the father is you?"Beto widens his eyes. The suspicion displeases Vera, she has a lo
Natalia is upset when Wallace hastily assumes that she is Uélton's girlfriend. She twitched her nose and denied it with her head."No, come on! We're not even real friends. I'm getting closer to Melissa and Stacy is my cousin who is dating William Campos. Uélton thinks I'm pretty, but we don't have much affinity."Wallace narrows his eyes. "Ah, I should have known better. My brother likes to make things up. The way he talks, it sounds like you two are already engaged."Natalia gets angrier at Uélton, huffing angrily, "Well tell that big-eared ugly guy that if he's been talking around about us sleeping together..."Wallace holds one of Natalia's hands as she gestures. Natalia feels goosebumps and calms down, staring at him with interest."No, calm down, he doesn't disrespect you." Wallace speaks in a calmer tone, "And let's calm down because we're in an ambulance, we can't disturb Pamela."Natalia had already forgotten ab
It is already evening and Natalia and Wallace are exhausted from waiting. Doctor Silvana approaches them with apprehension on her face."I already know you, you are Pamela Chaves's boyfriend." She says."No, we broke up. This is Natalia, her friend." Wallace informs.Silvana takes a deep breath. "Well... this time the story has been confirmed. Pamela is pregnant again. Any chance anyone knows who the father is?"Wallace and Natalia deny with their heads.Silvana continues, "Anyway, it is necessary to notify the family. Excuse me, I need to see how the patient is doing." She leaves.Wallace puts both hands on his head. Damn Pamela! Pregnant again, and the father isn't him! No, this time he won't make the slightest effort to take on another guy's baby. He wanted to help her with Caio, but she easily handed him over to Josias."My, what a situation!" Natalia cuts Wallace off from his thoughts."I need to call the family," Wallace
