“It looks like we're waiting to go to a party at the condo where Dad works.” Uélton jokes.
“I warn you, bro,” Wallace replies, “that in the condominium where Dad works we wouldn't go in with that outfit.”
“And can I know why not? You with your Hollywood heartthrob face open doors from anywhere. I always follow in the shade.” Uélton laughs.
However, Wallace reacts worried about the younger brother's speech. Isn't he taking this story of living in his brother's shadow very seriously?
Uélton may find it funny, but that is an indication of an inferiority complex.
Josias arrives before Wallace voices his concern. He also decides to be a joker.
“Damn, so I’ll lose my girlfriend! You guys are more stylish than me.”<

Pamela decides to disguise that she came for lunch in provocative clothes to seduce Josias and maybe someone else.“What is it, girls, it's just an outfit I chose for the occasion.”The women look at each other. Dora was in a long, flowery dress while Jenny and Melissa were in a long-sleeved blouse and trousers. While Pamela looks like she's going to a disco.“Okay, you know...” Dora purses her lips, “There's a handsome guy who came with Josias who might be interested.”Pamela smiles slyly. Yes, she did notice too. Who was that boy whose face looked like marble carved by the Gods?“Mother, you can call the men. The belly is growling.” Melissa tries to hide the annoyance.

Josias is once again being questioned about his family. He doesn't respond on the spot and disguises it by chewing another forkful of lasagna.Whoever looks like that thinks that Josias is ashamed or has something to hide. But, the truth is that Josias did not want to spoil the happy and festive atmosphere of lunch by telling sad stories.Pamela, who was already curious to find out more about the man, encourages the subject. “So, Josias, can you answer us?”Melissa strafes Pamela with her gaze. “Let's take it easy, people.”“The story is not good and I don't want to spoil the joy of this lunch,” Josias explains.“Ah, Josias, I'm sorry.” Dora apologizes and gestures to end the matter, “I didn't know. Good to know that you are feeling happy with us now.”Josias swallows and smiles again. “That is true. It is comforting to meet good people in this world.“Everyone ag

Josias also feels that everyone has retired to let him and Melissa be alone to talk.Everybody’s gone except William.“William, aren't you going to doze off?” Melissa asks, amused.“Won't YOU doze off, sis?” William replies with grace.Melissa laughs, Josias not so much.“I thought it was clear to you that everyone wanted to leave us alone,” Melissa explains sweetly.“There it is. I don't want to leave you alone. I don't want you to become pregnant.” William bounces with folded arms.Josias has his first start. William was not yet at ease with him. He takes the floor.“What are you saying, buddy?” He smiles slightly, “I don't want to commit this indecency with your sister, here in the middle of the room, with your parents right there in the room.”“Ah, so that motel story was really true?” William asks, getting more upset, “It

Josias says goodbye to Melissa and leaves, with only a chaste and innocent hug. He did not dare to kiss her, although he was willing, not to abuse the situation. And yet William's accusation about wanting to lack respect was hammering in his head.William knew of the slander told by his father about Josias wanting to lead Melissa astray. Damn it! Josias will not be able to stand out of curiosity. He could talk right there with Melissa...If he asked, Melissa would confirm that it was Pamela who said that. But, he thinks Melissa doesn't know that and refused to ask, according to Teodoro's advice.But, if another slander appears... woe to anyone who tries again.Upon arriving back at the building, Teodoro was at the counter, as if waiting for him.“Have you napped yet?” Josias responds playfully.“Who dozes off in this heat?

Rainbow Garden. Teodoro is walking on Josias's former street to enter his old house.He’s wearing dark glasses not to be recognized, even if the chances were minimal. He has never been seen before.And for the residents of Rainbow Garden, it wouldn't be strange for someone to show up at the abandoned Rocha family home. Perhaps he was a real estate agent to resolve the issue.Yes, resolve it, because Josias's old house has become a problem for the neighbors.Since the tragedy, the house has been closed by the police. Informed that the late Tony Rocha had a son, he was expected to return. So, nobody did anything.But the months went by, and the neighbors started to worry. The undergrowth began to grow in the yard, attracting unwanted insects. The dirt started to accumulate. Have an idea of how the interior of the house looked! Dust, mold, and cobwebs at a minimum.It is exactly this aspect that Teodoro finds Josias's house. He sighs, des

Josias's former neighbor approaches Teodoro and asks without waiting, “Hey, what are you doing leaving the house of the late Rocha?”Teodoro is embarrassed to explain, especially with a suitcase full of clothes and personal belongings. “Well, I...”The neighbor notices the suitcase. “Ah, are you also picking up a few things?”Teodoro realizes that the neighbor blinked his eyes as a sign of mischief. That is, he is not here to scold him or report him to the moneylender.“Eh, I was informed that the house was empty and I came to see it up close...” Teodoro pretends that he came to steal and the neighbor nods in agreement with him.“Yeah, I already went in there and got the iron for my wife. Mathias went in there and got the television, it was broken, but he managed to fix it! It was a good model, it was worth it.”Teodoro was smiling, but inside he was disgusted to see Josias's ex-nei

Uélton approaches, wanting to know the reason for such a commotion. “Hey, guys! Am I missing something?”“Josias has recovered some things from his old home,” Romualdo explains.“Wow! And how did he do it without being seen by the moneylender?”Teodoro explains, “I went to his house. Josias taught me the address. Only one ex-neighbor caught me, thinking that I was looting the house and admitting that everyone else is doing the same. One such Mathias took the iron for his wife.”“I know who is. And I'm not surprised.” Josias says, undoing the hug and wiping away tears.“Congratulations, Josias.” Romualdo cheers him up, “I hope that in the future we can get more things, or maybe get the house back.”“I'll only go back to Rainbow Garden when they arrest the loan shark!” Josias frowns resolutely, “As long as impunity reigns in that neighb

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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
