章節 1067: [Bonus chapter]The Real Reason Rose Didn't Call Rune (2)

"I don't understand why you never called me," said Rune gently to open the conversation. He tried to make his voice sound neutral, not judging, blaming, nor demanding. 

Rose looked away to hide her gleaming eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said again.

"There is nothing to apologize for," Rune commented. "Please stop saying sorry. I am just curious."

"Well..." Rose looked down on her tea and then she slowly spoke, explaining what happened. "Leon and I had a long talk. He finally realized that everything he thought he wanted, apparently didn't make him feel happy. And he regretted his decision to leave me for power and wealth. He begged me to forgive him and take him back."

Rune imagined that must be what happened too. Leon was acting shameless and begged Rose to forgive him.

Rune was wondering if Rose accepted Leon's request to get back together, so she didn't bother calling Rune.
