Episode 9

Pablo noticed right away that Noah had his eye on Paolo, and since he didn't like Natalia, he wanted to provoke his friend to see how far he would go. Joyce, realizing what Pablo was doing, called him over to talk, and they headed towards the kitchen.

"Tell me, little one," Pablo said.

"I noticed you're striking up conversations with Paolo because you saw the way my dad looks at him, right?" Joyce asked.

"Yes, I did. I don't dislike Paolo in that sense, he's a nice, intelligent young man, just from the few minutes I talked to him. But I noticed your dad looking at him as soon as you two walked through the gate, and the way he looks at Paolo isn't the way he looks at Natalia. And since I don't like that witch, I'm going to do everything I can to make Noah realize his feelings," Pablo admitted.

"I'm doing the same, and I totally support the two of them. So, tonight we're going to the club, and I want you to hit on Paolo," Joyce declared.

"Leave it to me. If it's up to me, those two will end up in bed tonight, and that witch will leave for good," Pablo assured her.

"I hope so," Joyce sighed.

They finished their conversation and returned to the pool. Everyone was laughing and playing around. After a while, they all got out of the pool and went to eat something.

Late in the afternoon, Pablo and his friends said goodbye and went home to get ready, as they were also going to the club. Paolo, Nick, and Joyce went to get ready as well. In the bedroom, Joyce told the boys her plan. Paolo didn't like it at all, but he didn't say anything and kept it to himself.

Paolo was finishing getting ready when his phone rang. When he picked it up to see who it was, it was his younger brother.

Call Connected:

"Hey, bro, how are you?" Pedro asked.

"I'm doing well, and you? I miss you so much," Paolo replied.

"Me too. I'm calling to tell you that Mom kicked me out of the house," Pedro said, his voice breaking with sobs.

"That... I'm going to send you money. Go to the airport and buy a ticket to come here. When you arrive, let me know, and I'll pick you up," Paolo said, his voice firm with determination.

"Okay! Thanks, bro. I'm sorry for being a burden to you, but I have no one else," Pedro cried.

"You're not a burden, kiddo. I love you. You're everything to me. Now, do as I said. You don't need to bring anything; I'll buy everything for you here," Paolo reassured him.

They finished their conversation and hung up the phone. Paolo was very upset because he didn't have a place of his own, and now his brother was coming. Joyce noticed his sad expression and tear-filled eyes. She went up to him and asked what happened. He told her everything. At that moment, Noah passed by his daughter's bedroom door and overheard the conversation. Immediately, a thought crossed his mind:

Noah's thoughts: "I already have a reason to bring him to live with me."

After a few minutes, they were all ready and headed towards the club. It was there that Joyce and Pablo's plan would begin to unfold.
