In the dining room, the servants had already set the dinner table. William Moore knew all the things she loved to eat, and he had even opened a bottle of red wine specially for her.
William adhered to the saying "do not speak when eating," but dining with him, Iris Harris felt quite at ease and did not experience the awkwardness that silence usually brings.
After dinner, Iris followed William to relax in the courtyard. The courtyard was full of bamboo; it was early summer, and the sky was still slightly bright. A servant came over and placed a jug of wine on the stone table. William poured a cup and handed it to her.
"This is osmanthus wine. Try it, it's sweet."
He knew that Iris liked to drink these kinds of wines.
Iris took a sip, her eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled at William, saying, "Xavier, truly only you understand me in this world."
Upon hearing this, William's gaze deepened a little. He watched Iris as she picked up the jug and poured herself another cup of wine.
