Joanna was a great actress but played someone else, not the real me. She must be unhappy with Michael and me being together and was doing things to destroy our relationship.
It was the same acting. If she could do it, so could I.
Facing the sunlight outside, I smiled confidently at Joanna.
I saw Joanna dive into the water like a fish.
Sasha wasn’t lying. The water was fine, and I could see Joanna bobbing up and down.
She had a great body. She wore a white bikini with two thin ribbons that made a cross under her chest and tied a bow around her waist.

The same design applied to the lower triangles, where two white ribbons crossed under her navel and wound around her waist, making her body look like a perfect piece of art.
Sasha was already in the water, her swimsuit in more garish color. She beckoned at me with a fluorescent green striped bikini top paired with a short skirt that looked like a colorful mosaic.
I looked at my one-piece bathing suit that was between gold and green. Compared to them, I felt like an old granny. But, then, suddenly, I didn’t feel like going into the water.
“Hey, if you keep looking like this, the sun will roast you.”
I didn’t know when, but Sasha had already swam to my side. At this moment, she was leaning against a rock by the shore and looking at me with a smile.
“Hurry up and come in. The water can soothe your emotions very well. Trust me. This will be helpful for your transformation.”
I felt that Sasha was just looking for an excuse to coax me into going in, but I still listened to her.
When the water waves surrounded me, I miraculously felt that my mood had mellowed.
After swimming two laps in the river, I leaned on the side to rest and stared at Joanna’s figure in a daze. I had been watching her. She had always been gentle and understanding, but I thought she was faking it.
Out of the corner of my eye, Sasha came up to me. “You seem to be staring at Joanna,” she said
“Don’t you think that’s strange?” I muttered. “She thought Michael was trying to win her back, but now that Michael has met me, she’s acting like she doesn’t care. She’s not jealous at all. She even wants to be friends with me.”
Sasha shrugged and said, “That’s nothing strange. Two reasons can explain this. First, you and Michael are the fated mate arranged by the Moon Goddess. The priority of the relationship between you and Michael is higher than anything else. This is the consensus of all the royal Lycan family. She has no choice but to accept it. Only a fool like Robert would do such a stupid thing as giving up his mate and looking for someone else.”
“Is that all?” I asked.
“Another reason is that she didn’t have a deep relationship with Michael. To be honest, I didn’t see her around Michael a lot. Most of the time, we met at the royal Lycan banquet.”
“She doesn’t look like she doesn’t have any feelings for Michael,” I muttered.
“You’re too sensitive, Cecily.” Sasha sighed. “I understand that you magnify some things during the transformation process and even add your imagination, but those aren’t real. There won’t be anything between Michael and her.”
“I hope so.” I recalled what Joanna had said before and asked, “Is what she said before true? Michael would use all kinds of methods to win her back and bring her back to his side?”
When I thought about this, I felt like a huge rock was pressing against my chest.
In my heart, Michael had always been a very arrogant person. I couldn’t imagine whom he would take the initiative to win back, and a woman at that. I even suspected that if I did something against his will, would he be willing to put aside his ego to make me come back?
“Uh, I can’t say this isn’t the truth, but the truth is often not what we see.”
I didn’t understand Sasha’s roundabout words.
“So it’s true?” I felt my heart instantly turn heavy.
I had been hoping it was Joanna who had made it up to agitate me, but from what Sasha said, everything Joanna said was true.
“I can’t say that it’s all true. She was exaggerating. Besides, Michael did some things to make her come back, but not so that she could stay by his side, but so that she could stay by her parents’ side.”
“Her parents?” I asked, puzzled.
“That’s right. I told you before that the internal relationships of the royal Lycan family are very complicated. Joanna’s family is similar to mine. They’re both nobles of the royal Lycan family. Joanna’s parents have a good relationship with the royal Lycan King, Michael’s father,” said Sasha.
