CHAPTER 180

Elsewhere,

In Gabriela's office,

Antonio and Gabriela are having lunch together. She says that there was something that he said when they were talking to Hernan that she wanted to ask him more about. Antonio asks Gabriela what it is about. Gabriela says that when he was talking about how close Claudia has become to Aranza and Marianna, he said that his grandmother finally got what she wanted, which was granddaughters.

Antonio shrugs. He says that sometimes as a child he felt that his grandmother was disappointed with him because she would have preferred a granddaughter. He adds that he felt that she would have preferred to have daughters and granddaughters. Gabriela says that despite the problems, his grandmother loves him. Antonio smiles and says that he does love and appreciate her as well.
