Ah that’s the thing with telenovelas, specially Mexican novelas, time never make sense. A single day last like 3 episodes but them we just assume times move fast or something. Like the time Lupita was in the hospital it was like 2 days but when she asked for the bill it said 8 days. So yeah, Juls and Val have known each other for weeks if you count days-nights, but in telenovela time it has been probably months.
