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.”

I looked around us and noticed many people looking in our direction. I was

nonchalant about it, but seeing that she was a little dazed, I persuaded her. "Don't drink so much.

It's not good for your health."

Lally smiled slightly. "Don’t worry, I'm a great drinker."

I helplessly smiled and did not persuade her further.

After drinking a glass of wine, I ordered a glass of fruit juice and took a few sips while staring into

space.

When I was done daydreaming, I began checking my phone constantly.

Lally saw what I was doing and asked uncontrollably, "Wanda, do you know what's the most

frightening thing in this world?"

I shook my head. "What is it?"

Cally picked up her glass and clinked it with mine, saying, “To waver. Because you'll easily lose

something that's important to you if you act like that."

She took my phone and made a call straight away after saying that.

“Ms. Lane?” A man's voice rang out beside my ear.

I wanted to snatch my phone at first but was interrupted by the man's presence.

After turning around to look at the comer, I was first stunned, then I put a polite smile o n my face.

"Hello, Mr. Isaac.”

Mr. Isaac said with a smile, "This is our third time meeting each other, Ms. Lane. I believe it's fate

that we've met three times i n such a short period of time, don't you think?"

I stood up from my seat. After pulling my distance, I said with a smile, "Are you here for a business

affair? I won't interrupt you, then.”

I planned to take Lally away after saying that.

However, Mr. Isaac stood in our way. I noticed several men coming this way, surrounding the two of

us women.

I frowned and looked at Mr. Isaac, asking," What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Isaac?"

A smile remained plastered on Mr. Isaac’s face, though now it seemed a little lewd. " You sound so

confident, Ms. Lane. Are you still unaware of the situation you’re in right now?”

I pursed my lips. ”1 don’t think I've ever offended you, Mr. Isaac. Why are you stopping us with your

men?"

Mr. Isaac laughed evilly before his gaze fell on Cally. He said with a sarcastic look on his face, "It

looks like you've been living a great life over the years and are taking good care of yourself. You're

still as beautiful as ever."

I froze, unsure what was going on.

Cally took a step forward and stood in my way. "If you're planning to give me trouble, then just come

at me. Don’t drag her into it.'

"What a coincidence, then." Mr. Isaac looked at me. "I'm here to give both of you trouble."

He continued after a pause, "Didn't you just have a pillow talk with Theo? Why are you being kicked

out so soon? But it’s understandable since the lady beside him i s one hell of a stunner. If I had to

choose between the two of you, I would kick you out too. Now that my plan has fallen through, I can

still make do with you. Now that you've lost Theo as your backer, do you want to consider me

instead?"

"How gross can you get, William Isaac?"

Lally's countenance was terrifyingly dark." Have you forgotten why you were transferred here from

Whaldorf City? Do you want to go to an even more remote place?"

This cut William to the quick. The smile on his face vanished without a trace. "How dare you fucking

threaten me?"

Cally sneered, showing no weakness. "I'm not threatening you. You know better than anyone that if

I have the ability to make you fall once, I can make you fall again."
