My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 21

“She has a solar panel,” Melissa stated, reading her daughter's mind.

“O-Ohh…” Roxanne said, having a relieved expression on her face.

However, another thought suddenly came to her mind. What about connection, she wasn’t holding

her phone currently due to the heavy bag she carried, but there was no connection in remote areas

such as this. How was she going to

“She had Wi-Fi installed not so long ago” Melissa answered her worries again.

“A-Ah…” Roxanne muttered.

There was stable electricity, Wi-Fi, and the quiet atmosphere she was looking for. The whole

package.

“Is this paradise?” She thought to herself.

Eventually, after a total journey of 30 minutes, counting rest, they arrived at Linda’s abode. Melissa

proceeded to knock the door, giving it a few pounds with her hands, before a voice came from deep

within the house.

“Oh, you’re here already? That was quick!” An old woman sounded.

Before long, the door opened and there she stood, Linda Warner, Melissa’s mother and Roxanne’s

grandmother.

With blue and grey strands of hair fluttering about her head, the old lady appeared before them.

She was shorter than both Roxanne and Melissa, but one could see the resemblance between the

three of them. She wore a white winter coat and wool trousers, with flip flops on, but it was clear she

was dressing to go out.

“Good morning Mom. It’s so nice to see…” Melissa started off when she saw her old woman.

“Oh my, oh… Is that you Roxanne? My, how you’ve grown!” Linda cried out, ignoring Melissa’s

greeting as she proceeded to hug Roxanne.

Melissa was stunned by this, but swallowed her saliva to contain herself. Her own mother was

more excited to see her daughter than her.

“Oh, look at those cheeks, and this figure. Oh boy, you must be the talk of your class” Linda

grinned widely.

“Oh, grandmom, stop it” Roxanne laughed at her grandmother’s compliments.

“But I’m so serious. I mean, look at you… Tell me, do you have a boyfriend yet?” Linda suddenly

asked.

“Mom”

“Grandmom”

Both Roxanne and Melissa said this at the same time to express a sense of caution to Linda and NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

the strange question she asked right off the bat.

“Whaaaat?” Linda said with a mischievous smile.

“Mom, won’t you at least invite us in? It’s cold out here” Melissa said to her mother as she gave a

knowing stare.

“Oh, you’re right Melissa. Nice to see you too by the way” Linda said, turning to her daughter for a

moment.

“But you’ll soon be on your way, so why should I keep you waiting here? You should get going. I’ll

take care of Roxanne and everything else.” Linda said with a smile to Melissa.

“W-Wha…? Not even a cup of coffee or something? Mum?” Melissa said with surprise and

disbelief at her mother’s cold treatment.

“Nope. The weather isn’t even that cold. Besides, it’s not like you’ll need a cup of coffee to keep

yourself warm” Linda said with a knowing smile.

Melissa grinned a bit but was still clearly not okay with how Linda was handling things.

“Let me get that for you,” Linda said, stretching her hands to carry the box in Marissa's hands.

She picked them up easily, despite her old age and smiled at her daughter.

“Well, now that there’s nothing holding you down… Byeee” Linda said with a wide grin.

“Alright, Alright, I get it already. I’ll get out of your hair now” Marissa said.

“Wait. Hold on Roxanne, won’t you tell your mom goodbye?” Linda asked Roxanne, who merely

kept quiet the whole time.

Roxanne looked away and shook her head.

“There’s no need,” She said.

Melissa shot her mom a questioning look, which Linda merely waved away.

“Okay then, why don’t we go in for a cup of coffee?” Linda said to Roxanne.

“Sounds great.” Roxanne replied.

They entered the house as Linda closed the door. Before the door was completely closed,

Roxanne gave her mother one last look as her back was turned to the house and she walked back to

where the car was parked.

“Will she really be fine by herself?” A thought appeared in Roxanne's mind, feeling worried for her

mother.

Linda caught her stare and smiled.

“She’ll be fine, don’t worry. I didn’t raise her to be so weak that a soft wind like this would be too

much to handle. She’s tougher than that” Linda said with a grin.

Roxanne wasn’t sure how to respond to that, or even think about it, so she just kept quiet.

“Follow me, I’ll show you to your room so you’ll unpack and get freshened up while I make some

coffee.” Linda said, moving across the living room, with Roxanne following from behind.

As Melissa got back to her car and glanced back to the direction of the cottage, she smiled to

herself. Her mother had not changed at all since the last time they met.

“Still the same eccentric nature, that woman” Melissa smiled.

However, she was confident… If anyone could help Roxanne through this period and open her up

to the truth she had been too afraid to tell her, it was her mom, Linda Warner…. Also known by her

other name... Linda Boise Warriors.
