"no scar where she’d slipped and hit her head on a hot cookie sheet" tripped me up, because I couldn't get the image to work in my head. How do you hit your head on a cookie sheet while falling? My cookie sheets are usually either on the counter or in the oven. Did she hit her head on the stove? On the counter? Or did she fall on the floor, and then the cookie sheet fell off the counter onto her head?

The first use of the wife intrigued me. I thought it signified something, like that maybe there's only one wife for all men to share. However, once I realized it didn't mean anything out of the ordinary, seeing it over and over was annoying. Since he's referring to his own wife, just use his.

"Something about her seemed incorruptible." Heh heh. I like what you're implying about the MC's intentions here. He's deliciously despicable. This sentence would be even lovlier with a little more punch: "She was incorruptible."

I'm wondering about Adele's age, because it will dramatically affect how I feel about the MC. If she's 25, I can't wait to find out what this potential cheater will decide to do. But if she's 14, I might revile him more (unless it's not unusual in his culture). Then again, if he's also 14, I will be intrigued again, because I'll wonder why he's married so young, and why he's got a 34 year old wife that he already doesn't like. I don't think you have to answer all that within the first 13, because you already have a sufficient hook. But you'll need to address it soon.

Lastly, the cranberry juice was a nice touch. I totally expected him to order either alcohol or coffee, but now he's more interesting.
