2005“Nadia Lafayette, I don’t even know where to start. When I met you, I never dreamed that I would be here now, at the altar of Green Park Church, declaring my love in front of our friends and family. But the time came when I started to dream, and then, to believe that the dream would come true. Thank you, thank you very much for believing in me and accepting me as your companion, for the rest of our lives.”“Rodrigo Mountain, they say that women can’t resist the charm of a Mountain man, and it seems that the saying is true. I tried, but my heart spoke louder. You won me over with your charismatic way of being. I wrapped myself body and mind in your love and affection. I’m very honored that you chose me among countless who would envy my place. So I promise I’ll make up for your decision.”Father Matias smiles in front of the bride and groom, “Now, time to recite the classic vows.”Rodrigo, dressed in his tuxedo, and Nadia, dressed in a stunning bridal outfit, smile at each other.I

At Rocha Constructions, Reuben grimaces, thinking that Josias will entrust him with another embarrassing mission.Josias, however, doesn’t seem to want to demand any of this from him, “I want to confirm something, Reuben. You’re willing to do anything to marry my daughter, right?”“Yes, Uncle Josias! I love her like crazy!” Reuben declares passionately.“Then why didn’t you make things easier?” Josias laughs lightly.“I hope that, with Carol and Sofia living together, your daughter will eventually come to truly accept Sofia as a friend.” Reuben finally reveals what he really means.Josias was more amazed at Reuben’s wisdom. He understood: if Reuben just told Caroline to be friends with Sofia because her father told her to, she would never have accepted it.“Reuben, I take my hat off to you!” Josias extends his hand.Reuben shakes it, “Now can we eat? I’m still hungry.”“Yes, let’s go to Crystal Blue for lunch together!” Josias puts the glass on the drinks table.Reuben grins, victorio

The next day, Erasmo is the most embarrassed person in the world at the breakfast table. He looks at Olivia calmly enjoying papaya yogurt, and can only imagine her getting romantically involved with Cláudio at a candlelit dinner... And then... Paparazzi caught the two of them and the extramarital affair was exposed by all the media, causing Josias and Melissa to cancel Sofia and Alan’s wedding! No!There has to be someone else!When Erasmo was about to speak, Sofia appeared smiling and jumping with happiness, “Good morning, people! How happy I am!”“Yes, you could fool me.” Olivia jokes, “Did everything go well with your mother-in-law yesterday?”“Yes, I am closer and closer to them.” Sofia looks at her father, “Yesterday, Mr. Campos asked if I was pregnant.”Erasmo does ‘PFFF’ and spits out the sip of coffee he was drinking, “Cough, cough! Are you pregnant, my princess?”“Of course not, Dad. Respect me, and respect your future son-in-law.” Sofia pretends to be offended, but she wants

Sofia enters the Teodoro Building and is welcomed by Pedro at the counter.“Good morning, Miss Vasquez. Did you come to see my father?”Sofia jolts, “What? No, I didn’t come to see anyone in particular. I came to talk about the minibus.”Pedro smiles, pleased to see that Sofia didn’t come with immoral intentions like her mother, “Then I can assist you. You know, I’ll be managing the building soon.”“I hope you can. And is that radio still on?”Sofia points to the stereo playing “Wake Me Up When September Ends” by Green Day.“Yes, this radio is part of the tradition. If we turn it off, my grandfather’s ghost pulls our feet at night.”Sofia bursts into laughter. She didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but the story is funny.Pedro laughs with her, “You still haven’t told me the reason for your visit, Miss Vasquez.”“I wanted to get to know my boyfriend’s friends better.” Sofia stops laughing, “And I also wanted to announce that my father is going to add another minibus on line 118.”“Oh, t

João Paulo puts Helen in Vernon’s empty office. He slams the door shut and turns to her with his eyes burning in wrath.Helen mocks João Paulo, “Now do you want to talk alone? Wasn’t Mrs. Freire a trustworthy person?”“SHUT UP!” João Paulo fiercely commands, “I’ll never believe that lie!”Helen smiles defiantly, “What is it, dear? Would you rather wait for my belly to grow?”“Yes, would be the immediate answer.” João Paulo crosses his arms, “Still, your growing belly doesn’t prove much. This baby could be anyone’s!”“I’m glad there’s DNA testing now!” Helen laughs, “Dear João Paulo, you have nowhere to escape. Your parents kept suggesting that we get married to continue sleeping together. I suggest that we do what they asked so everyone can be at peace.”João Paulo starts to walk in circles around the room, “That can’t be, I don’t believe it! What will Josias think of me?”“I think your brother is too busy managing his company, and with his family’s problems.” Helen responds wryly, “H
