"But I'm not the kind of girl that would let a man push me around, so I left anyway. But as long as I stayed there for a long time, I would always get messages from Michael. Some of them were about family matters, and sometimes he would tell me that he had found his mate and that he was engaged or something like that. So I was troubled during that time."
Although she said she was troubled, a happy expression appeared on Joanna's face.
"Later on, I realized that those were all Michael's excuses. There was no such thing as a fiancée or a mate. He just wanted me to come back. That's why I was a little confused when I heard that you two were mates this morning. However, there shouldn't be a problem since you two are mates arranged by the Moon Goddess."
Joanna ended the conversation cheerfully, the exact opposite of what I felt.
