Rune smiled when he heard Leon's words. He could hear the slight bitterness in the man's voice. It was obvious that Leon was still in love with Rose. It was not surprising though, because... any man who couldn't see how precious Rose was would be stupid.
However, Leon still chose another woman. That was what made his tone bitter. Rune really didn't understand why a man could make such a decision. You can always make more money, but you cannot force love.
Rune thought Rose understood this better than Leon. Ahh.. come to think of it, maybe that's the thing with wealthy people.
Since they had money, they knew that money is not everything. Family, love, friendship.. they were all worth more than money. While poor people who didn't have money always wanted to have money since they think it was what would bring them happiness.
