"Yonas, if we can't finish it, you can take the rest back for your grandpa," William said with a chuckle. Irene laughed. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Would Mr. Russell really want the leftover wine?" "You're right, that's my bad," William replied. "Yonas, I've got plenty of fine wines in my cellar. Before you leave, pick one to take back for your grandpa. It'll save him from cursing me behind my back."

Irene turned her face away, a bit shy, while Yonas remained silent for a long time. After a lengthy pause, he finally spoke, "We still need to ask Grandpa about this matter."

"I talked with your grandpa about this the day before yesterday, and he doesn't oppose it," William assured.
