Chapter 98 - Meeting the Parents

Gustavo decides to take Kendall to meet his parents, João and Leila, at their home. Kendall is naturally a little nervous and apprehensive, although confident in their relationship. During the journey, Gustavo notices her anxiety and reassures her, holding her hand and telling her that his parents are simple and warm people, and that she will be very well received.

When they arrive, João and Leila, smiling and excited, open the door. Leila, a woman with a loving look, immediately embraces Kendall in a warm hug, while João, with his welcoming manner, also greets her affectionately. The light and relaxed atmosphere helps Kendall relax, and she quickly feels at ease.

During dinner, the conversation is cheerful, with João and Leila sharing funny stories from Gustavo's childhood. They tell how he has always been curious and fearless since he was little, with some funny situations, like the day when Gustavo, at age 5, decided to climb onto the roof of his house to "see the world from above". Gustavo, a little embarrassed, smiles awkwardly, while Kendall laughs as she imagines her boyfriend at this stage of his life.

The fun continues when Leila brings out a photo album. As they leaf through it, Kendall sees photos of Gustavo as a baby, playing in the park, and even dressed up as a superhero as a child. She finds it adorable to see him so embarrassed and more vulnerable than usual, especially since he is usually so sure of himself.

At the end of the night, after lots of laughter and stories, João and Leila approach Kendall in a sincere way. João, with a smile on his lips, says to her:

"We want you to know that we are very happy to meet you. Gustavo is clearly happier since you came into his life, and that means a lot to us. You are already part of our family, Kendall, and you will always be welcome here."

Leila adds with shining eyes:

"Exactly, my dear. You're part of the family now, and if you need anything, we'll be here."

Kendall, moved, thanks them with a big smile and hugs them, saying how much she loves Gustavo and how lucky she feels to be part of his life and, now, part of the family. Gustavo, watching the scene, feels extremely grateful for the affection and support of his family and for the love he has for Kendall.

After dinner, Gustavo and Kendall say goodbye to their parents. As they leave, Kendall is visibly calmer and happier. On the way back, she turns to Gustavo and says:

"Your parents are amazing, my love. And seeing you like this, more vulnerable, made me love you even more."

Gustavo smiles, pulling her close, while jokingly saying:

"Just don't let these photos leak to the internet, okay?"

They both laugh, as the car continues into the night, with the feeling that the connection between them has strengthened even more.

This chapter reinforces Gustavo's family bond, his humility and simplicity, and how Kendall is warmly accepted by his family. The scene reveals a more intimate and sensitive side of their relationship, in addition to strengthening the bond with their new family.

Chapter 99 - Confessions and Healing Wounds

After a pleasant evening at Gustavo's parents' house, he and Kendall return to his house. The atmosphere of affection and intimacy between them continues, but Gustavo feels the need to be even more transparent with Kendall. When they enter the house, he invites her to sit on the couch, saying that there is something very important that he needs to share with her. Kendall, noticing the seriousness in his gaze, agrees and sits next to him, holding his hand.
