The other Golden Letters employees passing by the lobby didn’t look kindly on Matthew and Elaine exchanging caresses in public.It seems the number of fans for Matthew to return to Patricia were bigger than Elaine had imagined...Matthew passed by Nayla, wishing her good morning. Elaine leaned against the counter next.“My friend, did you manage to overcome the opposition?” Nayla asked with an excited expression, her eyes shining with anticipation of juicy gossip.Elaine nodded, victorious. “Yes, Nayla. I won another battle. All that’s left is to end the war.”“How did you do it?” Nayla stood up to hear well.“His annoying family suggested I put aside my feud with Patricia just so I could enjoy Miss Andrade and Mrs. Loss’s wedding reception.” Elaine relayed the gossip. “They thought I would refuse, preferring to let my Matt go alone. However, I accepted.”“And that’s what Matthew wanted?” Nayla hit the nail on the head.“Exactly! I pleased my husband, Nayla! Better yet, I’m going to r

At the Andrade family house, Bella and Nathan took refuge in the living room, enjoying the absence of anyone. Nathan first looked toward the entrance, giving a view of the staircase where footsteps disappeared into the distance. Bella laughed, understanding what Nathan was looking at. “Are we being watched?” “No, your brother really went up to his room.” Nathan shook his head. “I’ve already outgrown the phase of causing trouble behind the beach chestnut trees, but my older brother still has the mentality of an irresponsible young man, huh?” Bella nodded. “I’m also in a stable relationship with Jorge Nunes, and we wouldn’t dare do such things.” “Bella, we need to change things.” Nathan looked serious. “Everyone thinks we’re just party-goers with no future, only interested in parties and drinking. I want to change that, build my family, and act responsibly.” Bella pursed her lips. “But... will your family be formed with Elaine?” Nathan again looked toward the living room entrance.

Tiffany was walking through the Sterling Cultural Hall auditorium, looking at the ceiling and remembering that fateful night when a spotlight nearly fell on Vicente while he was performing. She shook her head, trying to forget that nightmare. Looking up, she saw maintenance technicians ensuring everything was safe and in order. João Paulo appeared beside her, holding a bunch of cotton on his left arm. “All done, I did the blood tests and received the tropical vaccines. Hope I don’t get yellow fever.” “If you got vaccinated, it’s obvious you won’t get it,” Tiffany laughed. “So, did you rescue Maurício?” “The irresponsible one was tangled up in that vegetation behind the beachside chestnut trees with a ‘companion’ who probably lost her ability to walk thanks to him!” João Pedro complained, still not used to that strange way couples have fun. Tiffany made a ‘PFFF’ sound and covered her mouth with her hands. She knows how it feels to be unable to feel her legs after spending a sleepl

Matthew and Walter entered Charles’s room to visit him. Charles was feeling much better, and there was no longer an IV bag dripping medication into his arm. “Matt, I’m glad you came to see me, thank you so much.” Charles was moved. “How have you been?” “I’m doing very well,” Matthew responded kindly. “Better than I imagined,” Charles teased himself. “You can eat roasted meat with spicy sauce and heavily seasoned broth, huh? I had to settle for grilled chicken fillet with little salt and oil.” Matthew and Walter laughed. “I don’t see how you’re going to eat anything at Jacque’s wedding,” Matthew joked. “Oh, she’ll make something adjustable for me. I trust my little princess,” Charles smiled. “Speaking of which, I have some news that will pique your interest,” Matthew said, first checking Charles’s blood pressure on the multiparameter monitor. “Elaine changed her mind and decided to attend the wedding. Will that cause any problems for you guys?” Walter and Charles exchanged look

Matthew meets Jacqueline in Sterling University Square. She was taking a break to snack at the kiosk. Clayton was handing her a grilled cheese sandwich. “Enjoy it, Miss Andrade.” “Thanks. Have you decided about my wedding?” Jacqueline asked sweetly. “It will be a joyful occasion, my dear.” Clayton didn’t quite understand. “Ha, ha... I meant if YOU’RE going to my wedding.” Jacqueline thought Clayton was joking. Clayton almost had a heart attack, so startled he was. “WHAT?! No, Miss Andrade; I am leprous!” Matthew approached, also giggling. “Don’t worry, Clayton. You’ll be on the bride’s side.” Jacqueline smiled wider when she saw Matthew. “Matt, it’s always a pleasure to see you without your boring wife!” “AHEM...” Clayton was embarrassed. “Hello, Matt. Do you want me to go to this beautiful girl’s wedding?” “I think you’re privileged because of me. Enjoy!” Matthew put his arm around the fiancée. “Alright, I will! With the money I make from the snack bars, I’ll buy a brand ne
