After we all opened our presents and got dressed, Olga was in the kitchen with Martina and Candelaria, while the kids were playing with their toys, Ruggero was talking to me about Martina.
Ruggero: *Picks up his beer* Jorge, what is going on between you and Martina?
Jorge: What do you mean?
Ruggero: Well, are you sure you want to marry this girl? I thought you weren't ready for that.
Jorge: Are you asking me because of Joshua and Ethan or are you asking me because you care?
Ruggero: I just want to make sure you know what you're doing.
Jorge: I don't know, in my heart it feels right, but Joshua is taking this hard he thinks I'm replacing his mom and I'm not.
Ruggero: Jorge, he is going to feel like that because that's how It looks to him. I know you aren't trying to replace Stephie, but I just don't want to see those kids hurt from your decisions.
Jorge: What? I would never hurt my sons, especially with my decisions.
Ruggero: Oh, really?
Jorge: Yes.
Ruggero: So, how would you explain sleeping on the sofa with Martina and the half-empty bottle on the kitchen counter from this morning?
Jorge: I just had a drink that is it, and Martina came down to see where I was that is it.
Ruggero: A drink? Or too many drinks?
Jorge: Look, this is my house, and I can drink or do what I want when my kids are in bed, I don't judge you for working all that time since Candelaria had your daughter?
Ruggero: Merry F*cking Christmas, Jorge, *Stood up* Candelaria!!!
Candelaria: My love, what's wrong?
Ruggero: We're going home before this Christmas gets ruined more or a friendship.
Jorge: *Stood up* So, that's it you're just going to walk out the door because I defended myself?
Ruggero: No, Jorge, it's because I don't recognize my best friend or my Business partner anymore, you're like a different person.
Jorge: I grew the f*ck up that's what I did, I got on with my life Ruggero.
Ruggero: Growing up is one thing, getting on with your life is another Jorge, but not knowing who you are is the one thing I can't deal with.
Jorge: So, what are you saying?
Ruggero: I'm saying I'm going to talk to Lucus, and Diego can be your business partner from now on where I am staying at his company until further notice.
Joshua: Where's Ruggero and Candelaria going?
Jorge: There, leaving.
Ethan: Why?
Ruggero: Because your daddy is a person I don't want to know right now.
Candelaria: Ruggero!!! It's not that we have some presents at our house for Emma and we can let you have your Christmas with your dad and Martina along with your Auntie and Uncle.
Olga: What is going on?
Ramallo: Ruggero and Candelaria are leaving.
Olga: What?
Ruggero: Sorry, Olga, but I can't be here with a guy I don't know anymore.
Olga: What are you saying?
