Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1070

Cally smiled slightly. "Why are you suddenly asking this? Did something happen?”

I found it pointless to keep it from her now that we were already talking about it.

I nodded and explained, "I don't seem to know how to treat people around me who care about me. I always unintentionally hurt them or even push them away from m e.”

Cally raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Do they include your friends and lover?"

"Yes.”

I sighed. "I haven't been able to learn how t o love others since I was a child, so much s o that until now, I still don't know how to love those who love me."

Cally froze. "Don't you have a son? How do you love him, then? I don't know how others view love, but my understanding of love is that it stems from the heart. It's when you wish from the bottom of your heart that the other person is happy, just like how you treat your son. If you want him to be happy, then you'll try and give him the best."

I pursed my lips and asked a little confusedly, "What about friends?"

Cally smiled slightly. "The same goes for your friends. But there’s always a limit to everything. Do it in moderation or it can easily backfire."

I gently sighed. "I understand the theories you're saying, but when a problem arises, then I don't know how to solve it."

"What did you encounter?"

Lally looked at me with tender eyes. "You can tell me if you want to. Maybe I can help."

I pursed my lips. “I had a fight with my friend and don't know what to do now."

Lally was stunned. "Haven’t you ever had a fight with a friend before?”

I shook my head. "Not a real fight."

When I fought with Cecilia back then, most of the time, I would not say a word and never talked back. We would reconcile after she was done being mad.

However, Shannon and I argued this time partly because of Theo. Coupled with the fact that we had only known each other for such a short period of time, I had no idea how to deal with it at all.

I could not figure out a good way to handle i t no matter how I racked my brain.

Therefore, I looked at Lally and asked, "Do you have time tonight? How about we have dinner together?”

Lally was stunned, then said with a smile," What a coincidence. My parents happen to be coming over to take care of my kid today. I was wondering how I was going to spend the night.”

I felt much better now. I got up and said," Let's get off work now, then."

After packing our things and leaving the company, Lally and I first strolled in the mall before having our dinner.

After dinner, she thought about how she

did not have to take care of her kid after work and planned to have some fun.

Hence, she brought me to the bar.

"I haven't been to the bar since I had my baby. Now I feel like I'm 70 years old."

Lally held me and lamented, "As humans, w e should often come out and have some fun to stay young."

She was in high spirits and ordered a few glasses of wine She drank while talking to me. My mood was considerably better now.

Perhaps she had not drunk alcohol for a very long time, Lally felt tipsy after just two glasses of wine. She leaned on me with her eyes squinted. "It's nice to be young. You can easily attract gazes as soon as you sit down.”
