My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift

Chapter 18

Mom has a scandal? Impossible!

“M-Mom…?”

Melissa’s eyes widened as she heard the familiar voice from behind her. She quickly jumped from

the embrace of the man with her and turned back to see the one who called her name.

It was her daughter.

“R-Roxanne…” Her mother’s jaw dropped as she uttered those words.

She didn’t expect Roxanne to be back home at the time. There were still a couple of hours more

before she would close from her gym. Unknown to Melissa, Roxanne didn’t do any practice because of

what transpired between her and her coach.

Roxanne’s widened eyes slowly brought out tears, streaming down her cheek to her jaw as they

dripped. She was still in shock, unable to fully grasp what had just happened. She knew one thing,

though.

Her mother was definitely making out with the man in front of her.

“Roxanne… I can explain. It’s not what you think…” Melissa said, leaving the man and rushing to

meet her daughter.

She quickly buttoned up the parts of her shirt that were opened and exposed a portion of her

breasts and underwear.

“Stay away from me!” Roxanne screamed.

Her mother was taken aback by this sudden change of pace. She showed a guilty, yet sad look in

her eyes. However, she had something she had to say to her daughter so she would understand. She

just had to…

“H-How could you…” Roxanne muttered.

More tears dropped from her eyes. She was hurt, her heart ached her so much that she felt like

ripping it out. Her body felt hot and her hands were beginning to hurt from her having clenched them for

too long.

“Roxanne, please just listen to me… Let me explain-“ Melissa pleaded

“Shut up!” Roxanne screamed once again.

The pain from earlier in the gym was also beginning to resurface. The feeling of betrayal, her

mentor and now her mother… It was too much for her to bear as the weight seemed to crush her

whole.

“Roxanne, calm yourself” A deep, masculine voice came from behind her mother.

Roxanne’s hurt and tear filled eyes darted from her mother’s apologetic face went to the man she

was with, who stood up from where he sat and made out with her mother. He had already put on his

shirt while she was focused on her mom and he seemed somewhat intimidating to her.

He had salty brown hair and a cleanly cut beard. He was at least 6ft tall, with a finely toned body

and great muscles the size of a veteran athlete. Roxanne found it strange for someone who looked like NôvelDrama.Org © content.

that to be found hooking up with a widow like her mom.

“… You should listen to your mother.” The man continued in a calm and amicable way.

“Who the hell is this bastard?!” Roxanne’s thoughts screamed with rage.

He looked so calm and casual, as if nothing had happened. His expression was too clear, devoid

of guilt or shame. He had a form of understanding as he gazed upon her, almost as if… He was pitying

her.

“Who the hell are you? Are you crazy?! You dare talk to me like that after messing around with my

mother?!” Roxanne yelled with anger as she moved toward his location with a fierce look.

The man didn’t seem fazed as he still maintained his mature demeanour, even as Melissa

continued to appeal to Roxanne. Her mother touched her hand, placing it in between hers. Roxanne

glanced over at her mother with pure annoyance as she looked at her saddened expression.

“Roxanne… I didn’t want you to find out this way. I’m sorry, but… Please just listen to me.” Melissa

clasped her hands in between hers as she smiled softly.

Roxanne’s seething anger and rage seemed to double as she witnessed this gesture. What was

there to explain? While she was off at school or practice, her mother was busy having escapades with

the man in front of her?

“Let me go…” Roxanne started with a menacing tone.

“Roxanne… Just list-“

“I said let me go!” Roxanne said, dragging her hand away from her mother as her second one

moved to hit her mom in the face.

Suddenly, a firm hand gripped Roxanne, holding her hand away from her mother’s cheek.

“That’s enough,” The man said with a slight frown.

“You… Don’t touch me!” Roxanne said, using her free hand to launch a powerful jab at the man.

“Don’t…” The man sighed.

He easily caught her fist and then twisted her hand in a reversing degree, making her lose her

balance and step back. He released her hands after this, causing her to move away from himself and

her mother.
