Chapter 3The Husband Reset

Work was slow the next day, so I agreed to go with Sarah to check out her new bakery and give some advice.

Just as I arrived, my mother-in-law called.

"Alice, I have to tell you something."

"This morning, I saw Alex dressed like a peacock. He even put on hair gel and cologne before leaving. I'm afraid he's—"

The door chimed. Alex walked into the bakery.

It was opening day, so the shop was crowded, but I spotted him immediately.

Mainly because his outfit was screaming for attention.

Cargo pants with too many pockets, an oversized black T-shirt, and a silver chain necklace.

So trendy it hurt.

I spoke into the phone, "It's okay, Mom. I know."

He might have amnesia, but I still remember everything.

I walked past Alex with a tray of samples, deliberately offering them to the customers around him.

Just as Alex, who was closest to me, finally reached out for a toothpick, Sarah swiped the last piece.

"Mmm, delicious. Crunch crunch. My baking is top tier."

She looked at Alex, feigning surprise.

"Oh! I didn't know you wanted to try too. I took the last one. Tell you what, we have new products you can buy to try at home."

Alex's mouth twitched.

Sarah continued, "Wait, you didn't just come here to mooch free samples, right?"

And just like that, Alex bought a $3,000 membership card and five pineapple buns, leaving with a dark face.

Sarah waved his first receipt of the day. "Thanks, bestie. Consider this my grand opening red packet."
