2021-05-26 19:20:01Teodoro remembered that the name of the girl Josias is trying to date and marry was Melissa. Was this gentleman her father? Was it time for the father-in-law conversation?
“Better that you wait here, I'll call him.” Teodoro walks away, not trusting him at all.
For a few seconds, Teodoro thought that Simeão might be one of the henchmen of that moneylender who discovered Josias's whereabouts and came to kill him.
Upon knocking on Josias's door, the boy opened almost immediately.
“Forgive me for interrupting your nap.” Teodoro apologizes.
“What nap?” Josias chuckles, “It's so hot today that I can't sleep. I'm going to ask you tomorrow to wash the sheets on the bed, they are sticky with sweat.”
“You can leave it, my son. Now come on, someone is looking for you. Simeão Campos, claims to be the father of your girl.”
“If the conversation is productive, she really

With teachings and incentives from Josias, Uélton overcomes this difficulty and manages to perform the service.In one of the breaks for lunch, Josias tells in more detail the conversation he had with Simeão.

“Will be a lunch at your house with the bricklayer assistant?” Pamela exclaims as if Melissa is announcing that she is pregnant.“When are you going to stop calling Josias ‘bricklayer assistant’?” Melissa frowns, already impatient with the nickname given by those who hate Josias.“When he becomes more than a bricklayer helper!” Pamela scoffs, trying to hide her anger. She opens the door and gives Melissa more room to enter. The two sit on the sofa in the living room.“And then, because of your anger, will you stop eating chicken lasagna?”“I will come to offer you moral support.” Pamela remains mocking.“Other boys go too. Maybe you get to know someone.” Melissa genuinely encourages.“I don't need to meet other boys.

Josias narrows his eyes with displeasure when he hears Uélton warn that Fabrício is going to Melissa's house.They did not say that Melissa is committed to Josias and they are about to date.The madman still thinks he has a chance with Melissa and will probably complain about Josias to her, exaggerating the story and telling it his way, hoping that Melissa will be indignant at the rudeness that Josias said.Josias then pulls Uélton by his shirt. “We are going to buy the pieces of bread that Seu Romualdo must be waiting for.”“Aren't you going to defend your beloved, boy?” Uélton is astonished.“I trust that Melissa will be able to discard that idiot with all the feminine sweetness.

Pamela reacts in shock when Josias practically guessed that it was she who slandered him for Simeão. However, as he asked, this can only mean two things: 1) He knows the truth and just wants honest confirmation from it; 2) He doesn't know and genuinely wants to know about her. What would be the correct option?Josias carefully analyzes Pamela's amazing reaction, trying to decipher whether this is surprise or fear.To break the silence (and right now no tenant is going down the hall) Pamela decides to take a chance on the second alternative.“No, Josias, it wasn't me!” She lies.“Why were you so nervous about my question?”“Because Melissa told me how frustrated your meeting was.” Pamela's mind works fast.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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
