Helena and Bruno's lives continued, each charting their own course, but always maintaining a connection through the children they shared. While Helena was immersed in the bustling life of São Paulo, Bruno remained in the tranquility of the farm, where time seemed to pass at a different pace.

Helena was sitting on the living room couch, gazing at the engagement ring that sparkled on her finger. Beside her, Leandro was also lost in his own thoughts, lost in contemplation. They had been together for years, since Leandro's proposal on the emotional night of Antônio and Emanoel's graduation. However, the wedding date had not yet been set.The postponement of the wedding was not due to lack of desire or love between them, but rather due to a series of unexpected events that had arisen. First came the news that Isabel, Helena's eldest daughter, had been accepted into an MBA program at Harvard. She was ecstatic about the opportunity but also missed her family and wanted to be present at her mother's wedding. So, Helena and Leandro decided to postpone the ceremony, so Isabel could attend.Months passed, and when Isabel finally returned, she brought with her a surprise: the news that Antônio, Helena and Bruno's eldest son, was expecting a child.

Her phone lay on the desk, inviting her to pick it up. With a mix of nervousness and determination, Helena unlocked the device and dialed Bruno's number, her ex-husband whose memory remained etched in her mind even after so many years of separation.The phone rang a few times before being answered, and Helena's heart began to beat faster, feeling a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. Finally, Bruno's familiar voice echoed from the other end of the line.“Hello?&rd

He was checking the arrangements of the wooden benches in the farm's garden while listening attentively to Helena's instructions.“So, Bruno, I think if we arrange the benches this way, we'll have enough space for all the guests to comfortably watch the ceremony,” said Helena, pointing to the layout she had prepared.Bruno nodded, appreciating the view on the screen. “Great idea, Helena.

Because you haven't found someone as wonderful as Melissa yet.”Dante chuckled, responding in the same lighthearted tone. “Oh, don't worry, brother. I have my charms too.”Emanoel, quieter, observed t

He processed his daughter's words, pondering the meaning behind them.“How do you know that your mother didn't marry Leandro because she still loves me?” Bruno asked, surprised by Isabel's assertion.Isabel looked at him earnestly. “It's easy to see, Dad. I see the way she looks at you and how much she loves,” she explained, trying to convey what she had noticed for a long time.Bruno pondered for a moment before responding. “Helena has always been affectionate with everyone, not just me,” he replied, trying to downplay Isabel's observation.However, Isabel insisted on her perception. “Besides, I overheard the argument between Leandro and Mom the other day. He accused her of stringing him along, saying that if it were you, she would have said yes right away,” s
