“Josias, try to be reasonable!” Teodoro frowns, not liking the boy's language, “You overreacted; you could have knocked on the door. Or rather, you could have called me.”
“I don't know where your room is.”
“How can you not?” Teodoro claps his hands on his thighs, “My room is the first on the first floor! Is the easiest to find!”
“I'm sorry, Seu Teodoro, at the time I didn't think—”
“You were so upset about Jeremiah that you rushed over. If it were another tenant, you wouldn't kick the door.”
Josias is forced to confess. “Yes, you are right.”
“So take advantage and try to make up with him. I don't want to witness a murder here.”
Teodoro gets up, concluding the conversation. Josias remains seated o

Building My Life Chapter 44 Invitation to Lunch
Josias was repairing the door to Jeremiah's room with visible annoyance. The hinges were with some loose screws, so he was fastening again with a screwdriver.“Look at him,” Jeremiah says mockingly, when he and Wallace enter the hall, “I should call the police to report a violation of the home.”“It says ‘home invasion’,” Josias responds, turning the screwdriver too hard as if he were turning the screwdriver over Jeremiah's head.Wallace notices the boy that he is not muscular enough to break down a door. How did he do it?“Boy, did you manage to break down that door with that skinny leg?” Wallace asks without being offensive.“My legs are strong. Muscle does not always correspond to strength and endurance.” Josias says proudly.The job is done and Josias straightens up, facing the two men.

Uélton and Josias do not gaze at each other. Since Josias entered his home, he has greeted his parents, but not his best friend. Uélton remained in the room until his mother asked him to eat. Now the two are at the table, vis-a-vis, but without the courage to exchange half a word. Josias understands that Uélton invented a story so as not to accuse him of aggression. Deep down, he was grateful. “Too bad, Uélton, I didn't know,” Josias says not to leave the atmosphere boring. The best friend needs to say something. “You, who are new to the favela, keep an eye out, my boy.” Mr. Freire advises, “Unfortunately, honest and hardworking people are at fault.” “It seems that the more time goes by, the worse people get.” Mrs. Freire regrets as she elegantly cuts a chicken drumstick. Josias resists the temptation to grab the piece of chicken with his hand, but it seems impossible since he took the wing. All the meat around the bones is being waste

My parents are at ease, as this is not the first time that Pamela has made a scene.

Josias and Teodoro are frightened, as they did not expect anyone to be spying on the conversation. Josias is more irritated when he sees that it was Jeremiah who had dared to laugh at something he had said.“What's so funny like that?” Josias swallows a piece of bread that he is chewing and gets up from his chair.“You, saying you're still a virgin!” Jeremiah holds his hands on his stomach; it is hurting so much that he squirms with laughter.“Jeremiah, stop being annoying!” Teodoro orders, “The boy is still eighteen, he is still young.”Jeremiah holds back the laughter a little and concludes, “With eighteen years I already had plenty of experience. Josias is late! Then he talks about my father; his father must not have taught him to be a real man!”Teodoro grabs Josias's arm, preventing the boy from leaving on top of Jeremiah.

At the Rocha Mansion, Dora and Simeon were talking to William in a corner of the living room about Stacy Moreira, now Stacy Bento.“Son, do you still miss Stacy?” Simeon asked, surprised.“I don’t know, Dad.” William sighed, still holding the package. “I didn’t expect to receive a gift from her after all these years...”“Well, she seems to harbor no grudges. Neither she nor her husband,” Dora commented.“I don’t even know if I should open the gift. I’ll decide tomorrow.” William finally got up and placed the package under the tree.Simeon and Dora exchanged worried glances. Melissa approached them.“Dad, Mom, what happened?”“Sweetheart, Will received a gift from Stacy.” Simeon added ironically, “Do you remember her?”“I remember, unfortunately.” Melissa pouted. “Isn’t she happy and married to Igor in Victoria?”“Yes, but she decided to mess with my boy’s emotions.” D

Josias wants the family gathered to celebrate the end-of-year holidays, but Alan is more worried about the integrity of the gifts in case João Paulo and Luís stomp on them during a potential fight.“Alan, don’t think about that. There won’t be a fight,” Josias responded confidently.“The only way you can guarantee that is by not inviting one of them. And I know you wouldn’t leave Uncle João Paulo out,” Alan asserted, noticing that his computer had shut down.“I don’t want the family incomplete this time,” Josias replied emotionally. “Carol is still in Rio. David has become a pain and isn’t answering my calls. I only have you and J.J. as my children.”Alan frowned. “It saddens me to know that you considered inviting David. Wasn’t it you who fiercely reprimanded David months ago?”“Yes, and he has been behaving since then,” Josias replied, unaware that his son was causing a scene at Angel’s store at that moment. “In fact

At the Rocha Mansion, in addition to the Christmas spirit, everyone was eagerly awaiting the Great Phone Call from Everaldo. “Mom, is today the day that Prophet Everaldo is going to call Uncle Josias?” Mary sweetly asked as she hung ornaments on the Christmas tree in the living room. “Maybe, dear,” Melissa replied, checking her phone. “He usually does it between Christmas and New Year1s.” Simeon and Dora entered, also checking their phones. “There are no messages on my phone,” Simeon commented. “Not even on mine,” Dora said as she sat down on the couch. “And I still can’t believe that last year, the call ended up at the Mountain Penthouse.” “What a miracle they behaved this year, huh?” Simeon joked. William, who was organizing the gifts on the carpet, suddenly stopped, feeling guilt weigh on him. Not only did Daryl NOT behave, but he was also part of the mischief!

Chapter 3196 Permission to Date
At Café Montanha, David was only served by another waiter since Neilton was deliberately attending to other customers. “Your supervisor lacks professionalism,” David said. But the helpers, also coming from the Uélton Freire Orphanage, just shook their heads, refusing to interact with David. He wanted coffee, they served coffee. Just that. Looking back at the table where Suzy and Felipe were interacting romantically, David felt a burning sensation in his stomach. He approached them again, holding a cup of cappuccino. “Feeling better, Suzy?” “I was much better before you approached,” Suzy replied, dissatisfied. Felipe huffed. “Dude, don’t you know when you’re not welcome in the conversation?” “I’m Josias Rocha’s son,” David replied arrogantly. “I don’t need to be ‘welcome’ in conversations. I approach and talk to whoever I want, as I please!” Suzy finished drinking her coffee, banging her cup on the saucer. “Are you done, dear? Come on, I need to stop by Vaztrans.” David narrow

Now that we’re dating, those annoying people won’t bother us anymore,” Felipe said. Neilton commented, “It’s strange that Pete Reis behaved like that. He and his wife are nice people over at the building.” With just those two sentences, David understood the whole story. Seeing Suzy with tearful eyes felt like something was stabbing his heart. Unable to contain himself, he approached their table, shouting, “And who asked for your opinion, you lousy waiter? People from the favelas will always be people from the favelas, wrap your mind around that!” Neilton nearly dropped the tray in shock at the interruption. Felipe, with his back to David, frowned. Suzy was wiping her eyes with a tissue. “David, not you too.” David looked at Suzy with pleading eyes. “I didn’t come here to hurt you, Suzy. I came to defend you! What did Pete Reis say?
Chapter 3194 J.J.’s Choice
Leonardo nearly had a heart attack when he found out that J.J. chose Vasconcelos Fabrics to work. “No, no, this can’t happen.” He shook his head, no longer caring to hide what he really wanted. “Hey, what are you talking about, lawyer Borges?” Dylan asked sarcastically. “Did you not expect J.J. to finally decide where he would work? Well...” Leonardo stood up again. “I thought he would honor his family’s legacy – the Bezerra Farm!” “I am honoring it by appointing a representative to take care of matters like the accident that happened with the truck,” J.J. replied, studying Leonardo’s body language. “But my dad wants me at Vasconcelos to represent him since he is the majority partner.” The phrase ‘he is the majority partner’ hit Leonardo like a punch to the face. If his father heard that now... Then, to give no more clues, Leonardo smiled strangely. “Alright, J.J. Go to the office and inform my brother Reynaldo of your decision. I’m sure he’ll be relieved by your decision since

Brendon notices his cousin’s critical gaze. “Come on, it’s like you’re an art and decoration analyst! Just tell me what you think!” “Were you expecting me to praise something?” David retorted, always the sour one in the family. “Sorry, but I can’t feel anything special.” “You JERK!” Brendon barked. “Anyway, what are you doing here?” David looked Brendon up and down as if he were an insect. “You didn’t really DREAM that I would let my mom’s stores—” “—and my mom, your aunt—” “—be managed by just you, did you?” David asked without flinching. “Yes, I dreamed. Not only did I dream, but I made it happen. I’m taking care of everything and trying to hire more staff.” Brendon smiled. “There was a cute girl who left her resume, but I couldn’t call her in time. She’s working as Kelvin Mountain’s secretary now.” “Isn’t th
Chapter 3192 The Lawyer Is Cross-Examined
At Damascene Lawyers, J.J. and Dylan had the same idea and went to Leonardo’s office to question him about what he told Theodore. The office of the most sought-after lawyer in the firm did not match his reputation: it was a mess. Leonardo was on a phone call, had spilled coffee on his desk, and the cleaning lady was trying to clean it up before the spilled coffee stained a pile of documents she was organizing before the accident happened. “I’m telling you, man: she’s going to accuse you of harassment again to get your money! Don’t forgive her, don’t be a doormat—” Leonardo pulled the phone away from his ear. “He hung up on me, that son of a—” “Lawyer Borges!” The cleaning lady noticed the presence of the visitors. Leonardo turned on his heels and saw them. “Excuse us.” The cleaning lady left, eager for a break. Dylan and J.J. marveled at the chaos. “We were going to suggest a cleaning, but it’s good you have someone.” Dylan quipped. “Did the gentlemen come to check the tidines
