When Love Turns Its Back
Once Joanna left, she stammered out, "M-Mr. Hansen, s-should I… keep the persimmons or—"
"Can't you understand basic instructions?" Jeremy snapped. "Of course you should keep them!"
"Y-Yes, sir…"

Joanna returned to the master bedroom. After taking a shower, she reclined against the bed frame while reading a book.
She continued reading till the time ticked past 10:00 pm. Exhaustion had already set in by then, so she turned off the lights and went to bed right away.
Then again, Joanna wasn't able to fall asleep immediately like how she had in the past. Instead, she tossed and turned in bed for a long time.
