Chapter 194 Trouble Brewing

• In her home, back to her familiar place, Roxanne twirled in happiness.
• It was not that she had not enjoyed herself, been relaxed in the Delano household, but truth be told, Roxanne felt happiest by herself, immersed in her painting. Little Xander pined for his friends for a while, but the joy of being home was contagious, and soon, he was racing around his house with his latest toys.
• Blissfully unaware of the fact that Snake had begun to frequent the building opposite her home, Roxanne moved around, painting, singing, and generally relaxing. The chef whom Van Dyke had employed was excellent, and he did not like it if the mistress of the house entered the kitchen. So Roxanne resigned herself to enjoying her life. And the nights…they were the best, she thought as she lay, her hand on Van Dyke’s chest, watching the steady breathing of her lover.
