Chapter 1108 I’ll Tell You What’s Going On
Kirk showed up again and listened to the end of the conversation between Nayla and Gustavo.On the other side, Gustavo, lying in his bed with the blanket covering him from the waist down, smiled like a swooning teenager. “Thanks for the talk, Nayla. Now I’ll sleep like some lambs.”“I think it’s ‘lamb’ singular, not ‘lambs’ in that expression, but it’s fine.” Nayla laughed.Kirk positioned himself outside Nayla’s line of sight, correctly guessing who she was talking to.“You know, Gus? I think we need to talk about something very serious.” Nayla took the opportunity.“Your brother?” Gustavo asked, turning serious.“Exactly. He said that me getting close to you is dangerous. Can you explain to me what’s really going on?”Kirk smiled mischievously. Would Gustavo have the courage to tell the truth?Gustavo, however, shook his head. “I-I don’t know what he’s talking about, Nayla.”“Maybe it’s because you come from the favelas. Well, I’m not some high-class princess, so I don’t see any rea
Chapter 1107 The Disobedient Sister
Nayla took advantage of Kirk not being around and grabbed her phone to call someone.On the other end, Gustavo slept like a baby when his phone woke him up.Gustavo frowned. It wasn’t his alarm. Who could it be...?Seeing Nayla’s name on the caller ID, he smiled and answered, “Hello?”“Ah, I woke you. Yesterday was Sunday and you worked your butt off at the Happy Snack Bar.” Nayla grimaced, having forgotten about that.Gustavo looked at his bedroom door. In the distance, Linda, Bella, and Walter could be heard moving their things.“Go ahead. I haven’t moved into the new house yet.” Gustavo smiled broadly.Nayla relaxed. “By the way, congrats on the new house. Nathan has been a good half-brother to you all.”“Yeah, I just wanted to make sure he continues with the same enthusiasm as the years go by.” Gustavo still smiled, but his voice sounded doubtful.“He’ll make it. Why are you worried?” Nayla raised an eyebrow.“Nathan has always lived in opulence and glamour,” Gustavo explained. “W
Chapter 1106 Inappropriate Reactions
Nayla was horrified by Kirk’s reaction to announcing Elaine’s pregnancy and seeing him react as if it were bad news.“Kirk, what does that mean? Are you upset that your friend got pregnant? Is Elaine really your friend?”Kirk shook his head as if trying to conceal something. “What are you talking about, little sister? Of course I’m happy for her.”“So why the shock?” Nayla pressed.“And who said I’m shocked?” Kirk smiled faintly. “These things always catch us off guard; that’s all. It’s not that I’m rooting for the opposite.”Nayla again looked at Kirk with suspicion. “I hope your shock isn’t motivated by jealousy. You wanted to be the baby’s father?”“No. But, from everything you’ve told me, I hope Elaine’s pregnancy doesn’t face difficulties from her husband’s family.” Kirk grew serious.Nayla made a face as if asking “Really?”.“So you’re worried about what they might do, is that it? Elaine said the same thing.”Kirk snapped his fingers. “See? We’re in sync.”Kirk tried to leave, b
Chapter 1105 Confirmed Pregnancy
Elaine moved her head away from the cellphone, pretending she’d been stung in the eardrum by Nayla’s loud shout.Matthew raised his eyebrows, worried. “What happened, dear?”“Nayla couldn’t control herself.” Elaine laughed, returning to the phone. “Calm down, friend. We’re still waiting for the result.”On the other end, Nayla spoke loudly, startling anyone passing by in the Golden Letters lobby, “But this is wonderful, friend! More reassurance that you won’t be expelled from the mansion!”“It’s exactly what I fear. Someone like Karl Sterling could use the pregnancy against me, saying I did it on purpose.” Elaine sighed dejectedly.Nayla shared Matthew’s opinion, “But that’s absurd! How could you have planned exactly when you’d become pregnant?”“I need to remember that for when it happens.” Elaine perked up.Kirk appeared beside Nayla. “Okay, friend, call me or text when you have the thing confirmed. I’m anxiously rooting for you!”Nayla ended the call and saw her brother on the othe
Chapter 1104 Maternal Expectations
Hélio wrapped his arm around Vanda as if to protect her from Karl’s dangerous words.“Karl, you’ll have to excuse us, but we haven’t even brushed our teeth yet. We’re starving, and we have things to do,” Hélio broke the uncomfortable silence.“Our children are still asleep,” Vanda added.“Are you going to tell Patty over breakfast that she’ll be warmly welcomed by my family?” Karl smiled, hopeful.Vanda and Hélio didn’t smile back.“No. We’re going to tell our daughter that she needs to be happy and move on with her life,” Hélio replied solemnly.“Great! Isn’t that what we want?” Karl rubbed his hands together as if everything had been arranged.“If our daughter doesn’t want Matt, we’ll have to accept it,” Vanda pointed out with bitterness. “The choice is hers, Karl.”“She’s already chosen Matt,” Karl insisted. “She’s probably waiting for the right moment to open her heart. When that happens, you guys should support her.”Hélio lost his temper. “Not only do you want to dictate what my
Chapter 1103 The Best for Our Children
Hélio and Vanda rolled their eyes in boredom as Karl went on again about how “Matthew and Patricia belong together,” repeating it endlessly.“Karl, you woke us up early to talk about THIS?” Hélio mocked.Karl stiffened his gaze and clenched his jaw.Vanda continued, also sarcastically, “We’ve already gotten over this fantasy.”“What fantasy?” Karl exploded. “It’s your responsibility to make sure your children have a decent future!”Hélio raised his eyebrows in a sarcastic posture. “Oh, so you mean we’ve failed in that department?”Karl retorted cruelly, “Let’s say that if it weren’t for my son Matt’s kindness, you’d still be living in a horrible, unfinished house in the worst part of Lion’s Den. Yes, you’ve failed!”Hélio dropped his ironic and petulant stance. Vanda also stopped finding the conversation funny.“I don’t believe this!” Hélio yelled. “We’re actually becoming enemies!”“That’s not true!” Karl raised his index finger. “I just want what’s best for my son. And that includes
