Chapter 5057
Aitana’s eyes widened in genuine surprise. “Alex, you’re full of hidden talents! The more I get to know you, the more impressed I am. You can make pastries this beautiful? They look amazing—they must taste incredible.”
Alex handed her a pair of disposable gloves, putting on a pair himself. He picked up a delicate petal-shaped pastry and held it out to her. “Try it. Tell me if you like it.”
Aitana took it, bit into it, and after savoring the flavor, nodded enthusiastically. “Delicious! The sweetness is perfect—not overly sugary like the ones sold outside. And there’s a light floral fragrance. Seriously, this is so good.”
Alex finally relaxed, relieved she enjoyed it.
Aitana tried several more pastries, and Alex poured her a glass of warm water.
“Alex,” she said, “you could open a pastry shop. Your pastries are prettier and tastier than what a lot of professional chefs make.”
