Chapter 70 Roxanne - Torn

• Isabel Bellini cooed in fake sympathy, holding out her arms to Xander when Roxanne emerged on to the patio, her son in her arms.
• “But why …how did the little one wander over to the pool?” she cried, outrage on her harsh features, she went on, “ Where were you, Roxanne? What were you doing? Didn’t you notice?”
• Xander was pulled into Isabel’s arms and the infant looked up at her, startled, as Isabel covered his face and soft head with effusive kisses. The aunts who had arrived on the scene, made soft noises of approval.
