João Felipe
I kept quiet during the brief dialogue between the two men, I didn't even know what to say to Jack in the face of such a situation. I was unaware that he was married, much less that he was already a father. It didn't seem to suit him, the fact that he already had a family formed. It shouldn't even be twenty-five yet.
"A beautiful family Jack has. "
"Do you know them? "
"I was at your wedding a few years ago. He's the brother of an ex-girlfriend and I have him on my social media. "
"Small world, isn't it? You never commented that you knew Jack so well " Something I found strange, now that I knew the fact.
"I only heard about his hiring when we got here a mo

Facing Problems
VivianeThe last few months have not been easy. So much had happened, that I felt stunned just to think about the changes that had happened in my life.After the conversation between me and my parents, I decided that I had a small share of the blame for the strained relationship with Marta. I never even tried to greet her, during all these years of living together. I just understood that she didn't like the situation and I started to treat her coldly as well.Given this, I decided to try an approximation, on behalf of my son and the home that I would like to offer him, in which there was love and affection, as well as a lot of respect.I did not tell João Pedro anything that my parents told me, since he was reconciling the last semes
Sealing the Peace
VivianeAlthough the situation of each of us was extremely different, what led us to do so was the same reason: Felipe's egoism. In short, that was it. He wanted to move forward with his goals and plans and nothing should stand in the way of his longed-for professional fulfillment.I was sure that, although I did not consider her son an egoist, she knew that talking about some disease she was facing would make him postpone his plans at that moment and that, despite loving his mother above all else, he would not be happy here in Brazil, without putting into practice everything he wanted for himself.He was an ambitious man who wanted to increase the family's wealth through his efforts. To further grow the name of the Mendes. I knew of his plans and I could never understand all that ambition."
Attitude of solidarity
Viviane The days passed with impressive rapidity, given all that was happening in the Mendes de Albuquerque family. I went to the appointment with Mrs. Marta the day after our conversation and we were fully aware of everything that would happen from that day on. She had stage II breast cancer, which meant that the lumps were already of a size that it would not be possible to remove them, without affecting the breasts. Which meant that she would have to remove the entire breast and do the reconstruction later, as soon as possible. This news left her even more shaken than she already was and it was very difficult to follow her suffering in the face of such a fact. It was a very delicate situation and she would still have to go through radiotherapy. These would be complicated days, and for this very reason, soon after the consultation, I managed to convince her to at least her Rodolfo and João Pedro, since I made such a point of not interfering in João Felipe's perfectly planned life.
Back to normal
Viviane "Son, you arrived early. Didn't your father come with you? Marta was soon asking."Calm down, Mrs. Marta. Her husband stayed in a meeting with some European investors and asked me to come home, as just one of us would be enough, he said. But I'm glad I'm here. I missed seeing you here by the pool, Mom. I'm extremely glad you decided to leave that room. ""Viviane convinced me. His future wife has good company. But I'm starting to worry about his studies' ' He looked at me incriminatingly but with a smile on his face.The arrival of her youngest son seemed to have been more of a boost for her."I'm studying as always, Mrs. Marta. No need to worry. But, in this final phase of the course, we barely have face-to-face classes with the teachers. I am in the phase of the course completion work. ""I get it. I've also noticed that it's a bit chubby, too."She looked at me intently, and her gaze went to the region of my womb, which made me quite apprehensive. That still wasn't the rig
Eighteen months later
João FelipeThe view from my living room window, in the commercial building that housed the Mendes de Albuquerque branch in New York, was spectacular. From the time I was on the thirtieth floor of the building, I could see much of the magnificent city, known worldwide and the desired destination of many.I was able to achieve all the goals I set for myself over the last few months and was very satisfied with myself and everything I had accomplished. But that was it.I didn't feel happy and the work was no longer motivating me like before. The proof of this was that it had been a long time since I had a very important report on my desk and zero willingness to analyze it. Worrisome.I needed to issue some opinions on various investor accounts of our company and had no desire to read the data placed in front of me by my secretary for a few hours.I was discouraged, that was it, I needed to admit it, at least to myself, since my pride didn't allow me to let others know how restless I was.
Arousing attention
Viviane"You could enjoy that Sarinha is asleep and go do a couple of programs. Ever since my granddaughter was born I haven't seen them go out alone. They are always surrounded by other people" Marta threw, without more or less, this placement.João Pedro looked at me conspiratorially and I just smiled. We were in the mansion, gathered at the table in the large dining room of the Mendes de Albuquerque. In addition to the two of us and Marta were also Mr. Rodolfo and our friends Julia, César, and Cecilia."Marta, you're just looking for a reason to keep Sarinha just for you. We all know that you do everything to make Vivi stay out of the house" JP's father spoke playfully, causing everyone to burst out laughing." The way you speak, it makes it sound like I don't want my daughter-in-law with me! " Marta spoke indignantly." Mom, you don't have to make that face " João Pedro spoke, between laughs, at his mother's upset expression. " We all know that you like Vivi very much. ''"And he
Complicity
VivianeBut even in the face of my refusal to live any kind of loving relationship, João Pedro and I had agreed that if any of us knew someone special and wanted to live this relationship, we would separate amicably and our family would have to accept our decision. Our daughter would continue to be supported by the Mendes de Albuquerque family and, even being with other people, we would still be the usual friends, now with an even stronger bond, which is our little Sarah." Look Viviane, how beautiful this bikini looked on our Sarah! " Marta spoke excitedly.She had entered the mansion with Sarah to put on a bathing suit on the little one and now she was carrying her in her arms, who was already dressed in a bikini all pink and full of ruffles, which made Sarinha even pinker.She had also changed her clothes and was now in a discreet and elegant navy blue swimsuit. Soon the two of them were inside the pool, Sarah was supported by a colorful and extravagant float and had fun laughing a
Big celebration
VivianeWe smiled together. We were very complicit now, I believe due to everything we went through during breast cancer treatment, where I was always with Marta, supporting and encouraging them in the most difficult times."Nope. But he must be upset with us, as we no longer keep in as close contact as ever. ''"All this so as not to bring trouble to him. To avoid worrying about things other than those related to his precious work," I said without being able to contain the sarcasm."I know you must have your reasons, in addition to the ones I know, not to like João Felipe. But I hope we can all live in harmony when the time comes. ''"What moment? ''"When João Felipe can a
