Julian shook his head in disbelief as he walked beside Everton through the moonlit gardens of Ferro House.“She’s out of her mind,” he muttered. “I’ve met Mr. Vasconcelos. He’s no telenovela heartthrob, sure, but he’s far from ugly. And he strikes me as a decent husband. So why is she doing this?”Everton gave a lazy shrug. “Bored housewives.”Julian frowned. “She’s not a housewife. She works at the family company.”Before Everton could answer, a sound drifted down from an open window above them.Raw, animalistic male's grunts mingled with the creak of bedsprings and a woman’s teeth-grinding and desperate sobbing.Everton stopped dead, tilting his head toward the guest-room window where the noises spilled out into the night.“Uh… didn’t they only meet this afternoon?Julian’s cheeks burned. “Looks like the Vasconcelos family is in a hurry for an heir.”“And what about Lady Ferro and her cousin?” Everton asked, arching a brow.“Those babies won’t carry the Vasconcelos name the way Youn

“Who is the snitch?” Adalberto demanded.“It’s my best friend’s sister-in-law,” Addie explained. “Nadir is always speaking ill of that viper. Well, it seems she proved herself right!”Adalberto became even more concerned because he recognized the origin of the photo. He frowned deeply.“Where did she get this picture?” he asked.“How should I know? But she’ll certainly tell me tomorrow.”“Tomorrow?” Adalberto raised his eyebrows.“Sweet Aroma Café, 9:00 AM.” Addie pursed her lips.“Near the Glamour Studios. Be careful, Queen.”Adalberto got suspicious, thinking about the risk of Addie meeting someone they knew in an uncommon place.“Aw,” Addie smiled, touched. “Are you worried about me?”“Someone needs to be the man when yours is away, leaving you unprotected,” Adalberto said seductively.Addie and Adalberto exchanged caresses. When Adalberto least expected it, Addie shoved him, dragging him back toward his bedroom, slamming the door shut with a resounding thud.******Claudia, please

In the Vasconcelos Mansion living room, the family was now trying to digest dinner while engaging in light conversation. Althea seemed visibly more satisfied by Claudia’s absence.“Gilson, did Chris send any more photos?” Althea asked, sounding as curious as a teenager.“Not yet, Mom,” Gilson replied, chuckling.“I truly don’t understand why Claudia is so against this,” Nadir mused. “She saw the photos earlier…”“She’s been overly protective lately,” Sandro offered.“Nonsense,” Gilson dismissed the thought. “I am certain Chris and Miss D’Arveil were made for each other.”Gilson’s cell phone notification pinged making everyone to hear it.Gilson picked up his phone and checked the message from Briana. Everyone watched him handle the device, opening the attached pictures with a serious expression.When Gilson looked up, he was clearly embarrassed.“What is it, little brother?” Sandro asked.“They’re pictures from Brie… of her future baby’s room,” Gilson answered awkwardly.“How lovely,”

Gilson showed everyone his cellphone, displaying the selfie of Christopher and Elara taken before dinner. When the phone reached Claudia, she refused to take it.Nadir smiled maliciously and rose from the other side of the table to retrieve the device.“Let me see,” she said, taking the phone with a deliberate tone. “Ah, what a LOVELY young woman!”“Perfect,” Althea stated proudly. “If Christopher chooses her, she will have my blessing.”“You don't give your blessing on anything around here, you cranky old hag!” Claudia exploded.Gilson lashed Claudia with a look that silenced her instantly. She swallowed the insults that would not be spoken.Nadir just smirked at her hateful sister-in-law.“You should be proud of your son’s potential girlfriend,” Nadir said, passing the phone to Sandro. “Did you want him to choose an unqualified girl?”“He is still too young to marry,” Claudia insisted.“And you want the Vasconcelos family to vanish?!” Gilson countered, exasperated.“I don’t know if

“I’m sure Christopher will be wearing a tie,” Briana countered, straightening up.“But this isn't anything terribly formal or romantic,” Mark argued. “It's their first time meeting.”“It might be a good idea to check with Regis about one of the guest rooms just in case they want to ‘get to know’ each other more,” Briana said with a mischievous look.Mark laughed heartily. “Come on, no one should turn our sacred home into a motel.”Briana sat down at her vanity, giving him a look that clearly communicated: How do I explain things to my oblivious hubby?******At the Sweet Aroma Café, Karl and Luana were finishing their coffee and muffins after work. Around them, customers were paying their bills and leaving as the café was preparing to close.“Another bomb that, thankfully, didn’t explode this time,” Luana observed.“I wanted so badly to go back to our apartment,” Karl said, his expression somber. “But now...”“What is it, my love?” Luana raised her eyebrows.Karl took both of Luana’s

Christopher held up his phone screen for Sandro and Gilson to see, and both men responded with approving nods. Althea sat in her regal armchair, attended by Dalila.Gilson, however, struggled to suppress a wince of pain in his back, a consequence of spending the afternoon entangled with Celia in her less-than-comfortable car.“My congratulations, son!” Gilson managed, attempting to look composed. “Miss D’Arveil is a wonderful girl.”“So, I have everyone’s approval?” Christopher asked, looking around.“Why wouldn’t you?” Dalila replied simply.“It seems my mother has some objection.”Althea scowled. Always Claudia!“Chris, don't listen to your problematic mother,” Althea commanded. “You need to marry and continue the family lineage.”“We’ll see if Miss D’Arveil agrees to that,” Christopher said, his voice hopeful.Gilson chuckled and then joked, “When she sees you without a shirt, she’ll want to bear ten children for you, big man!”The men erupted in a roar of laughter, typical masculi
