A dish Served Cold Novel

Chapter 8 Nelly was startled by the hatred in my eyes. She kept on yelling that it had nothing to do with her before running away. A few months later, I heard from my colleagues that Nelly had given birth to her baby. To support her baby, she found a quick-paying job at a nightclub. Over the years, I occasionally heard news about Riley from my higher-ups. They said he had tried to quit the project, but he was trapped at the base and couldn't come back. He would just drink and drown in his regrets all day long, always talking about how sorry he was to me.

Whenever the bosses asked me about him, I simply smiled and shook my head. The moment Riley betrayed me, there was no more future between us. And after my parents had died because of him, the only person he could become was my enemy. Ten years later, I was promoted to general manager of the company. At the same time, the Kentran Top-Secret Research Project had finally finished, and all the members returned to Kentra one by one. Riley came back, too. When he saw me at the company, his eyes instantly turned red. "Anna, I'm back. I know what I did was wrong now.

I thought about you every day for the past ten years, and I've regretted everything I did every day. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please let me stay by your side and take care of you. I promised your parents I'd look after you." Before I could speak, the coworkers watching the drama all chimed in. "Riley, stop being so disgusting. We used to think you really loved Anna, but you went and got another woman pregnant behind her back." "You don't even know how wild your girlfriend was.

She barged into the company and wrecked several of our samples for different projects." "Leave Anna alone. Your girlfriend even gave birth to your baby. For the past ten years, she has shown up every month looking for you at the company." When Nelly caused the commotion all those years ago, everyone had learned the truth about Riley's scandal. He wasn't sure what to do when he looked back at all those disdainful stares directed at him. Just then, Nelly rushed in after hearing the news.

She was wearing a revealing slip dress and had heavy makeup on, obviously having just gotten off her night shift. She hadn't even had the time to clean up. Riley, you're finally back. I've waited a whole decade for you!" She tried to throw herself into his arms, but Riley shoved her to the ground forcefully the next second, shouting furiously, "You witch! If it weren't for you, I never would've lost Anna or made such stupid mistakes!" 11 Nelly sat on the ground, sobbing pitifully. "Riley, how could you treat me this way?! I've waited for you for ten years and raised our son all alone.

Do you know what I went through?! You can't do this to me! I lost my career and ruined my life for you. You must take responsibility!" Riley just looked at Nelly coldly. "Nelly, all I ever wanted to have with you were the flings. I made that clear from the start. I wouldn't have lost Anna completely if not for your tricks! And the kid? I don't even like children. If it wasn't because Anna likes kids, I would never have let you give birth. Yet you want me to take responsibility? I wish I could kill you right now!" Suddenly, a little boy burst through the crowd and bit down hard on Riley's arm.

With a cry of pain, Riley kicked the boy away. The boy rolled several times on the ground, finally hitting his forehead on a chair with blood streaming down his face. Nelly scrambled over immediately. "Jolly, are you okay?! Don't scare me!" Support Share admin
