All Chapters of Intertwined Destinies: A Nanny on the Farm: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

While chewing slowly at the table, Oliver can’t help noticing the silence hanging over the room. The clinking of silverware against plates is the only soundtrack to lunch, and it bothers him deeply. His eyes move from one child to another, especially the twins, who haven’t exchanged a single word since coming back from outside.“What the hell is going on?” he asks, more sharply than he intends, dropping his utensils onto the plate with enough force for the metallic sound to echo through the dining room.Aurora startles, coughing lightly as she chokes on a piece of meat.“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” Oliver says, reaching for her arm, concern written all over his face. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”“It’s okay, honey,” she replies, forcing a smile as she takes a sip of juice. “You just caught me off guard.”Oliver nods and turns back to his children, his expression firmer now.“It’s just that the boys are so quiet I’m starting to worry. This house has never been a monastery, and now it feels

The arrival in the United States is quiet. After an exhausting flight, Saulo only wants to find the hotel and let his daughter rest. It is still difficult for him to understand what is going on with Eloá. Ever since they left her grandparents’ house, she has seemed more withdrawn than ever. Not that this is unusual before long trips, but there is something different now. She barely smiles and speaks even less. Deep down, he suspects that she left something important behind, but he decides not to push. Everyone has their own timing, he thinks.The next morning, after breakfast in the hotel lobby, they head to the university.The campus is large and modern, with glass buildings reflecting the blue autumn sky. With a backpack on her shoulders and tired eyes, Eloá takes everything in with a mixture of awe and apprehension.They step out of the taxi and are greeted by a friendly woman with a bright smile and her hair tied in a messy bun. She is wearing jeans, sneakers, and an ID badge arou

A Few Days Later…The absence of her youngest daughter is already beginning to echo through the house. The longing grows stronger during the week, especially when her oldest is away as well, studying in the capital. The silence that now fills the house, once occupied by the girls’ voices and laughter, is almost deafening.Trying to keep her mind busy, Denise organizes the wardrobe in the nursery that is nearly ready for the babies. She carefully folds embroidered diapers bearing the names Erik and Eduardo, names she chooses with love alongside her husband.That’s when her phone vibrates with a notification.“Can we talk now?” — it’s a message from Aurora.She replies yes and, without thinking much about it, grabs her car keys. Her friend’s house is very close, but she plans to go out for a while after whatever conversation Aurora wants to have.When she arrives, she finds Aurora on the porch. There’s a sparkle in her eyes that is impossible to hide, as if she’s about to burst with exc

After another dense lecture on international macroeconomics, Eloá leaves the classroom with unsteady steps. She feels strangely weak, as if the ground beneath her feet isn't quite solid. She looks for a quieter place to sit and catch her breath, away from the noise of the hallways. But as she turns a corner, she runs straight into Brook. “How are you feeling, Eloá?” the advisor asks, concerned when she notices how pale the young woman looks.“Yes, of course,” she replies, forcing a smile. But her voice isn’t convincing. The next instant, the world spins again, and she has to brace herself against the wall.“My God, you don’t look well at all,” Brook says, already stepping closer to support her.“I’m just feeling a little nauseous,” she admits, struggling to breathe evenly.“And has this been happening often?”“For a few months now…” she reveals hesitantly.“We’re going to the infirmary right now.”Before Eloá can protest, Brook practically escorts her down the hallways, and she tries

Oliver pulls her into a strong, protective embrace, smiling like a little boy. His eyes are glistening with tears as well.“Our princess, who’s going to rule over all our little ones,” he says, pressing a lingering kiss to her forehead. “Our Helena.” Aurora nods, unable to speak through the overwhelming emotion.From the VIP box, Denise jumps with excitement while Saulo helps her keep her balance with her enormous belly. Henri records everything on his phone, laughing and celebrating. Noah, crying as he watches his parents’ happiness, wraps an arm around Elisa, who is on a video call with her sister, following everything from afar.As she watches all that joy, Eloá feels her heart tighten because she cannot be there.On stage, the drones continue dancing across the sky, now forming a giant pink bow and a glowing pacifier while the headlining band prepares to perform.Aurora turns to the audience, still standing on stage, and lifts the microphone with a trembling voice.“Thank you for
