And one more thing, I don’t like your friendship with that girl. You need to make friends with boys, play soccer, do manly things. Manuel, you’re always at Mariana’s house.
Manuel looked down, embarrassed. Before he could respond, Mercedes put her hand on Alfonso’s shoulder and spoke with a tight smile. Stop being rude, Alfonso.
Goodbye. What’s wrong with that? Besides, they’re about to do their homework. Let him go.
Adriana values Manuel’s studies more than anything else. Alfonso snorted, defeated. Okay, he said reluctantly.
What time should I pick you up, Manuel? Mariana quick as ever answered before Manuel could open his mouth. Don’t worry. As soon as we finish work, Edmund will take Manuel home.
Alfonso nodded slowly, still reluctant. He leaned over to hug his son. But Manuel only gave him a quick, half-hearted hug.
He then ran to Edmund’s car, where Mariana was already waiting. From a distance, Alfonso watched with disapproval as they both got into the car. I don’t like this friendship, Mercedes.
When I was his age, all I wanted to do was play football with the boys, he commented, shaking his head. Mercedes burst out laughing and said, Oh, Alfonso, come on. Do you care what the kid does? I’m sure they’ll date one day.
And look at it this way. Mariana is also the daughter of millionaires. You should be grateful.
It would be worse if he were chasing some poor girl. She winked mischievously at him. Forget about it.
Let’s focus on what’s really important. Adriana, I’ll talk to her and get this whole twin thing out of her head once and for all. After all, I’m a good girl, right? She said, laughing.
Alfonso came over and said, Better. They got into the car and before they drove away, Alfonso said with a mischievous smile, Since I’m not taking Manuel home, we can have some fun together. Mercedes leaned towards him and with a seductive look replied, Of course, my love.
They kissed, making it clear that their brotherly-sisterly bond was just a facade. Meanwhile, in Edmund’s car, Mariana and Manuel exchanged worried glances. The driver was following the usual route until Mariana leaned forward and said, Edmund, can you change the route? Please take us to the big banquet hall in the next neighborhood.
The driver looked in the rearview mirror, confused. Your parents ordered me to take you home, Mariana. Besides, you’re with a friend.
The girl smiled in her own convincing way. Edmund, I just wanted to stop by the hall to find out when my birthday is. My parents have been really busy lately and I really wanted to have the party there.
You have no idea how popular this place is. Manuel looked at her with admiration, impressed by his friend’s intelligence. Edmund sighed, stunned by the girl’s charm.
Okay, but no nonsense. If I lose my job, it will be your fault, he said, pretending to be angry. Mariana laughed and replied, The best driver in the world.
Manuel smiled with relief. But before we continue and find out if Manuel will meet Pablo again and what their real relationship is, help our channel by giving it a like and say, Would you like to have a twin brother? And if you did, would you switch places with him to prank someone? Write from which city you are watching this video. I will leave a heart in your comment.
And now back to our story. Adriana was in her office, busy with a bunch of papers and documents. She was fully focused on planning her week, organizing meetings, evaluating proposals, and preparing the launch of new products for her cosmetics company.
As she was leafing through the files, she heard a light knock on the door. Come in, she said, without taking her eyes off the paperwork. The door opened and Alfonso appeared, a carefree smile on his face.
Adriana immediately stood up, her expression softening a little when she saw him. Hello, love, she said, walking up to him. Have you picked up Manuel yet? Have you taken him home? Alfonso smiled and replied.
Manuel went to see his friend, Mariana. He said they had homework to do. They’ll take him home later.
Adriana frowned in surprise. That’s weird. I don’t remember him saying anything about homework, she said thoughtfully, then shook her head and smiled.
But OK, I like Mariana and her family. At that point, Adriana’s husband quickly changed the subject. I brought you a surprise, he said excitedly.
A surprise? Adriana asked curiously. Before she could think about the possibilities, Mercedes walked through the door, smiling brightly. Surprise, she said, opening her arms.
Hello, sweetheart. How great to see you. Adriana walked over and gave her a warm hug, unaware that Mercedes was not Alfonso’s sister, but his mistress.
It’s great to see you, Mercedes, Adriana said sincerely. Mercedes smiled and wasted no time in speaking. Alfonso told me you’ve been having some problems.
Weird dreams, right? Adriana sighed and nodded. That’s why I’m here, Mercedes said enthusiastically. You work too much, slut, and it’s taking a toll on your psyche.
Today, you’re going to take the day off. We’re going to go for a walk, relax and enjoy life. And to top it off, I’ve scheduled a therapy session with a wonderful professional.
Will you enjoy it? Adriana hesitated, looking at her desk piled high with paperwork. I don’t know. I have so much work to do.
Alfonso came over and encouraged her. Forget about it today, love. I’ll take care of everything.
You deserve a day for yourself. Amid sighs and smiles, Adriana gave in. Soon she left with Mercedes trying to relax as she whispered softly and gently, yet manipulatively, in her ear, trying to finally push away any unpleasant memories of her past pregnancy with twins.
Meanwhile, Manuel and Mariana went in search of Pablo, a boy who resembled the rich Manuel. Edmund stopped the car in front of a large banquet hall. The children quickly got out of the car, looking around warily, searching for Pablo in every corner.
But the street was deserted. No sign of the boy. Manuel crossed his arms and muttered, I thought so.
I don’t think he’ll come back. Mariana, trying to keep her spirits up, smiled and said, Calm down, Manuel. Let’s try to buy some time.
I’ll go in and pretend to want to know when my birthday is. She entered the room and Manuel remained outside, carefully observing any movements. Mariana spent a few minutes inquiring about the dates and pretending to be interested in the banquet hall.
Outside, Manuel sighed, looking around for the boy. Time passed and Pablo did not appear. Then the girl left the room, seeing the despondency on her friend’s face.
Let’s keep trying. We will find him one day, she said decisively, wanting to help her friend. They walked back to the car.
Edmund, already nervous, commented, Are you staying there for long? Yes, Mariana smiled and replied. The hall is so beautiful that I did not want to leave. My party will be like a fairy tale, Edmund.
The driver laughed and started the car. He began to drive slowly along the quiet street. Manuel, leaning his head on the glass, upset.
