Chapter 3366 A Shift in the Wind
In the hallway of the Rocha Mansion, Dora planted her feet firmly on the polished floor, her chin set in defiance.“No,” she said, her voice steel. “I want to stay.”Melissa kept her posture soft, trying to act as a buffer against her mother’s stubbornness. “Mom, wouldn’t it be better to distract your mind with the beginning of a life instead of...” She leaned in, dropping her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “...focusing on the end of one?”“But who said your father is going to die?!” Dora’s voice rose, echoing slightly off the walls.“Shh!” Melissa pressed a finger to her lips, glancing around. “Don’t get worked up, Mom.”“You’re the one working me up, daughter. This situation should be under control, don’t you think?”“I do. But you aren’t making it easy.” Melissa placed a gentle, grounding hand on her mother’s shoulder. “Dr. Hogan explicitly asked to speak with Josias first.”Dora bristled, straightening her blouse. “I should be the most qualified person to hear it.”“Mom, pleas
Chapter 3365 Birth and Resurrection
On a particular sunny day, William was about to exercise in his living room, in his usual house above Campos Pizzeria.William stood in the center of the familiar space, dressed in his workout gear, mentally preparing for his daily routine. He reached down to stretch, but before he could even begin his first set, the shrill ring of his cell phone shattered the morning calm.He glanced at the screen: Caio.“Talk to me, kid,” William answered, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead that hadn’t even earned the right to be there yet.On the other end, the background noise was unmistakable with the distinctive, hurried hum of a hospital corridor.Caio’s voice came through breathless and electric. “Dad, good morning! It’s happening!”William straightened up, abandoning his workout entirely. “What?”“Carlos is coming! Or Charles...” Caio stammered, his excitement tripping over his words.William chuckled, a warm sound that rumbled in his chest. “You guys still haven’t decided, huh?”“Not y
Chapter 3364 Protective Instincts
Reuben appeared in his suite, finding Caroline coming out of the bath, still in her nightgown with a towel wrapped around her head.“Hello, darling. How was your day?”“After we saw each other at the hotel, I had a talk with my mother.” Caroline sighed. “Honey, do you really think I should give Sofia the benefit of the doubt?”Reuben hugged his wife, very affectionately.“I don’t know, honey. If you suspect her, I suspect her right along with you. But Alan is my best friend, and I was counting on having Wellington be best friends with A.J.”“That’s what I thought.” Caroline broke the hug. “Anyway, Mom said I’m too old for these ‘Mean Girls’ style rivalries.”“I agree, too.” Reuben chuckled.“Are you calling me old?” Caroline lightly pushed her bumbling husband.Reuben laughed more and more.“I still haven’t found a supervisor. Luís Vasquez wants to stay at his family’s company.”“Let him be.” Caroline sat at her vanity, picking up the hair dryer. “That shabby company is finally turnin
Chapter 3363 Letting Go of Grudges
Melissa was trying to convince Caroline that she needed to grow up and get over her anger.Taking her hand, she said, “Daughter, do you want Wellington to grow up wondering why you don’t like Aunt Sofia? Do you want to stop Wellington and A.J. from being friends?”“Of course not!” Caroline was horrified. “After all, letting the two be friends would be like continuing the tradition, right? A.J. and Wellington, best friends, just like Alan and Reuben, my father and the late Uélton...”“Yes, it is a tradition. That’s why I want you to think about what you will do,” Melissa spoke more firmly. “So far, Sofia hasn’t done anything else to justify our disapproval. And I, honestly, am fighting for peace. I have more urgent things to worry about.”“I know.” Caroline’s voice came out tense. “Can I take a little peek at Grandpa?”“Of course, let’s go see him.” Melissa smiled.The two stood up and left the office.******Diane was talking to Kelvin in his office after Ignacio had left.“Looks like
Chapter 3362 Mother and Daughter Talk
Ignacio was face to face with his father. Both were seated, with only the desk separating them.“Son, I want to ask how you are holding up. I know we’ve already talked about it, but...” Kelvin paused. “Days have passed, and there’s still no sign of your grandfather waking up.”“I know, Dad.” Ignacio nodded.“Have you been helping your mother, your sister, and your grandmother?” Kelvin asked in an encouraging tone.Ignacio nodded, feeling important. “They say Grandpa is still alive.”“And how have you been feeling about all this, my son?” Kelvin leaned forward.Ignacio had never stopped to think about it. “Ehr... I’m okay, Dad.”“It’s normal to feel a little sadness. If I’m not around, you can vent to Josias.” Kelvin smiled faintly.“What I’m feeling is anger.” Ignacio suddenly scowled. “What that investment woman did is unforgivable. Too cowardly to go after my mother, she first argued with Mary, then she targeted my grandparents!”“Calm down, son. It’s a relief to know that the shrew
Chapter 3361 The Date
Café Montanha, afternoon.The phenomenal date between Jake and Michelle was taking place.Jake pulled out the chair for Michelle to sit, like a true gentleman.Neilton looked at the table and smiled jokingly. Then, he grabbed the menu and walked over to them.“Good afternoon, special people! Ready to order?”“Thank you, Neil.” Michelle took hers first.Jake was already reaching for his wallet. Michelle saw it out of the corner of her eye and smiled discreetly.“When you need anything, just call.” Neilton gave a funny bow and withdrew.Jake waited patiently for Michelle to choose.Michelle, however, was trying to pick the cheapest options so as not to overspend.******In the manager’s office at the Rocha Hotel, Luís was surprised by Reuben’s invitation.“Reuben, you want me to come back to work here?”“You were the best. The people who STILL work around here praise the heck out of you.” Reuben gave a thumbs-up, smiling like a weirdo. “How about you come back and do us a solid?”Luís s
