Melissa is surprised by the information that she is pregnant for the second time. Then, when she finds out that the pregnancy has already taken two weeks, she starts to laugh.Silvana gets a flea behind her ear, "Did I say something funny, Mrs. Rocha?""No, doctor." Melissa replies, adopting a mischievous tone, "It's just that two weeks ago I asked my husband to perform a striptease for me. He bought a sheik costume, so I couldn't resist..."Silvana bursts out laughing. She knows very well who Melissa's husband is and has the same opinion as 100% of the female population of Lagoon City: JOSIAS ROCHA IS HOT AS HELL."Jeez, Mrs. Rocha, I can only imagine your husband dancing all sexy... he really does look like an Arab monarch." Silvana wipes away the imaginary drool, "Is he not related to Mayor Ibrahim?""No, but his son became friends with my husband just the same." Melissa takes a piece of paper, "Does the doctor have a pen so I can write down the

At night, Josias enters the Rocha penthouse and finds Melissa sitting calmly and with an angelic smile. Without her saying anything, Josias is already smiling. It's impossible not to feel loved by Melissa, this perfect being coming from Heaven to cheer mere mortals.Instantly, Josias kneels in front of Melissa and speaks in the most adorable tone possible, "Melissa, my love, my dear wife! Just seeing your naughty girl's face I already know you'll tell me good news!"Melissa strokes Josias's hair. While many men adopt the Mohawk hairstyle, Josias still kept the professional, businessman hairdo."Honey, you're absolutely right." Melissa sweetly announces, "I have good news. I went to the hospital..."Melissa can't finish anymore. Josias vibrates, laughs, claps, and then pats Melissa's stomach, "How long?"Melissa is surprised to see that Josias guesses. Did she respond...? "It has two weeks."Yes, Josias has connected the facts. He blushes wit

Simeon and Carlos have a more relaxed breakfast, as they prepared it. The bread is fresh, the guava jar is new, and the coffee has been sweetened with sugar.They take advantage of Dora's absence to talk."Son, I'm still worried about your wife after that outburst." Carlos begins, "She hasn't mentioned anything about William since then, and I've seen you being aloof and pick the right word so as not to trigger any extreme reactions.""Of course, I need to be careful." Simeon chews the guava with bread."The question is, how long will it be like this?" Carlos questions with a serious look and the undisguised tone of a worried father, "I don't want this to become a constant in your life."Simeon swallows and looks down, unable to respond.Someone knocks on the door. Simeon gets up to answer it.First, he opens the living room window and grins when he sees Josias, Melissa, and Alan, "Hey guys! Just a minute!"Simeon was comfortabl

In the evening, the private dinner celebrating the engagement of Tiago and Carmen was about to begin. Elisa organized the arrangement. Tables were joined to form a larger, rectangular table. The fine linen towels were immaculately white. The window shades were closed so that passersby would not be prying the dinner in progress.Elisa was standing watching the arrangement with undisguised pleasure. While the staff put the plates and cutlery out, Saulo appeared very elegant and handsome in a tuxedo, hugging her from behind."Good night, my beautiful wife! Today another member of the Bento family will take the important step."Elisa turns to her beloved husband, smiling and in love, "Yes, and just the eldest, to set a good example! You look charming, darling.""I'm the only one?" Saulo takes two steps back and admires Elisa's outfit. The long sleeveless cherry-colored dress makes her stunning. In her ears, the most expensive mother-of-pearl earrings, and aro

Elisa, Saulo and Igor visit Tiago at his house. The older brother and head of the Bento family is still devastated by Josias's absence from his engagement dinner.Tiago is sprawled on the sofa, shirtless, with a cup in his hands containing anything but coffee."Brother!" Elisa is surprised by the sight, "We entered because the gate and door were left open. Are you still upset?"Tiago sighs deeply and responds in a tearful tone, "We failed with our mission, folks. Our Master Josias Rocha is furious with us!""Did he not want to show up at dinner because of the mess involving Pamela and William?"Something inside Tiago is triggered when he hears Igor's question. He straightens up on the couch and frowns, "That could have been it. Pamela has been arguing and insulting Melissa. How was Josias going to let such nonsense go?"Elisa nods, "That's understandable. Yesterday she was with her husband and Caio who wanted to be with William. If Josias sh
