Chapter 544 Why Can't I Still Win His Heart
Hearing this voice, Jane was extremely flustered.
She quickly hung up the phone and turned to look at Robert, still a bit shaken.
"What are you doing here?" Jane's first reaction was fear and excessive shock, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Robert.
"I just told you, I've been looking for you for a while. Who were you talking to on the phone?" Robert walked in.
Jane shook her head. "No one, just a good friend."
"Why were you so scared talking to a good friend?"
For a moment, Robert thought Jane had done something wrong. Why did she come to this room to make a call, and why was she being so secretive?
Jane was feeling guilty and asked Robert, "What did you hear just now?"
"What? I just got here. I've been looking for you for a while. Didn't you say Dorian was very busy and didn't have time to spend with you? I brought Dorian here. He finished work early today, all the meetings are done, and he doesn't have to travel. He can spend some quality time with you. I'll have someone prepare a nice dinner for you two."
Robert knew that Dorian, being the king, was extremely busy every day with endless meetings or inspections in other places.
Even though they were married, Jane and Dorian rarely had time to dine together.
Knowing that Dorian had a light workload today, Robert went to find him.
Jane forced a stiff smile and went downstairs with Robert.
Downstairs, Dorian was there. He hadn't been home for a long time.
Everyone in the country knew they were very much in love, but little did they know it was all an act.
"Darling, you're back," Jane said with a faint smile.
Dorian nodded. "Yes, I've been quite busy lately."
They were more like strangers than a married couple. Over the years, they hadn't had any children.
Jane really wanted a child, but Dorian wasn't willing, and they rarely had sexual relations.
He often found excuses not to come home. Dorian and Jane hardly saw each other unless it was absolutely necessary.
Jane never expected that even after Dorian lost those memories, despite all her efforts to marry him, this would be the result.
But she was the supreme queen, and as long as she could hold onto this position, nothing else mattered.
"What would you like to eat tonight? I'll cook myself. Let's have a simple family dinner."
Dorian had no particular cravings. "No need, let the servants do it. You don't have to work so hard."
Robert also felt awkward and tried to mediate, "Jane, see how much Dorian cares about you."
Jane smiled. "Are you staying tonight? Mom and Dad said they haven't seen you in a long time."
This grand palace, magnificent as it was, felt like a cage. She was imprisoned here, envied by everyone, but only she knew what her life was like. She longed for the outside world.
She even began to doubt whether her efforts to marry Dorian and gain supreme glory were right.
Dorian knew he hadn't stayed overnight for a long time. He thought for a moment. "I'll stay tonight."
Jane was happy. "I'll have someone change the sheets and bedding to new ones."
Jane went to busy herself, but Dorian couldn't feel happy.
He always felt like he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember what. Every time he saw Jane, his mood became very heavy.
He felt a deep sense of guilt, but he knew it wasn't for Jane.
That night, the servants prepared a lot of food. Robert found an excuse to leave, leaving only Dorian and Jane.
Jane served Dorian food, acting like a perfect wife.
Dorian refused. "No need, I can do it myself."
"Darling, we've been married for over twenty years. We're not young anymore. You've spent less time with me over the years, and I've been feeling increasingly lonely. I was wondering if we could..."
Jane began slowly, her well-maintained face showing no signs of her nearly fifty years.
She knew she was getting older, and this might be her last chance to have a child.
If she didn't have a child now, she might never have the chance.
Just as Jane hesitated to discuss children, Dorian's phone rang. He glanced at it. "Work call. I need to take this."
Whatever was said on the other end, Dorian hung up and didn't continue eating. "I have to leave for something. Sorry, I can't stay with you tonight."
"It's okay," Jane said, her eyes filled with deep disappointment.
Even without Elizabeth, Dorian still wouldn't give her a second glance.
But she was really unwilling. Why, even without Elizabeth, was she still not enough?
Dorian didn't remember Elizabeth. Couldn't he fall in love with her?
At first, Jane worried Dorian might fall for another woman, but over the years, he seemed to have lost all desire.
Jane clenched her palms, her eyes sharp.
Skigeth, police station.
A stylishly dressed person was brought inside.
Soon, Taylor was wheeled into the visiting room.
Seeing the person outside, Taylor became excited. "Brittany! Brittany! My dear daughter!"
Taylor was so excited she was about to cry. "You're finally back. Save me, get me out of here!"
"You told me to go ahead and do it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared. And I never ratted you out," Taylor whispered.
Brittany hadn't said a word yet, and Taylor continued, "The trial is in a few days. If I can't get out, I might never get out after being sentenced."
"Brittany, I haven't lived enough. You have to save me."
Brittany said, "I know, it's no big deal. Don't worry, I'll get you out."
"Brittany, you're such a good daughter. I love you!" Taylor was excited.
As long as Brittany was back, she felt at ease. With Brittany around, everything would be fine.
Brittany didn't talk much with Taylor, not even as long as Grace's last visit.
After leaving the police station, Brittany made a call.
Grace saw the unfamiliar number and hung up without answering.
Soon, a message came through: "It's Brittany. Can we talk?"
Grace knew Brittany would return eventually and would seek her out, but she didn't plan to meet her.
"No time," Grace replied.
Soon, another message came through: "I'm at your door. Open up."
Brittany had come to her house?
