Chapter 464 Take Care Of Burke


    "That''s just the way it is." Madeline was pleased to see Pam so optimistic and then she cheerfully


    said,"I will be more pleased if you marry my son. I really hope with all my heart that you could be my


    daughter-inw someday."


    As Pam heard Madeline express her deepest desires, her cheeks began flushing pink out of


    shyness. Staring at two of them who acted like a loving mother and a daughter, Le felt hit by the


    truck, as she stood there motionlessly.


    All through these years, she had made every attempt to marry a rich man to live the luxurious life that


    she longed but now to find this out about Burke was like a p in the face. Happiness and her dreams


    were right in front of her but she could not recognize it.


    However, Charles had no interest in her and it always seemed impossible for them to be together.


    There were days even she wanted to give up.


    But now she had lost the chance to marry a man of rich second generation who loved her deeply and


    sincerely for many years. It seemed so absurd as well as ridiculous and now she regretted for what she


    did to Burke in the past. ''I should have epted his proposal, '' Le thought to herself with deep


    regret.


    She had known Burke for ten years, but she never knew that Burke came from such a rich family and


    he also didn''t mention his family background to her. He was such a humble man.


    She wanted to rush at Burke, wake him up and tell him that she would love to marry him. But now it


    was just toote. How could she do such a shameless thing?


    Madeline, Burke''s mother, was also escorting him to car so executing her idea seemed more than


    ridiculous.


    Even if now Burke was willing to marry Le, his mother would object to their union after knowing what


    she did.


    ''No, I can''t just give up. I have to figure out an idea to marry Burke. This way, I won''t have to wait


    around for Charles or any other eligible bachelor.'' Le nned in her mind.


    Le looked at them as they got into the car and soon soared away, and felt repentant, but she could


    do nothing. The car gradually faded from her sight. Within the next few moments, her cab arrived, and


    as she sat in it she was caught in a web of thoughts forgetting her surroundings. She didn''t even


    realize that the taxi had stopped.


    "Here we are, miss." The driver kindly reminded her and then said,"This will be fifty dors."


    "Oh, thanks," replied Le with low spirits as she was still lost in thought. She took out her wallet, paid


    the driver, and then got out from the car, rushing home in owing to the rain.


    She couldn''t help but imagine that had it been Burke who drove her home today, he could not bear to


    see her get wet in the rain. Now she began to miss the days spent with Burke as well as the things that


    he did for her in the past. He was always so considerate and loving.


    ''Now that I have found a more convenient way to be rich and prosper, I don''t have to seek far and


    uncertainties while ignoring what lies close at hand, '' Le thought to herself.


    Le felt that she was so stupid not to see the signs that Burke must havee from a notable family.


    She recalled that when they were in high school, the teachers decided to organize a fall excursion


    once. However, the school couldn''t find an avable pleasure ground. It was Burke who helped solve


    this dilemma by calling somebody.


    Le still remembered that Burke told her that one of his rtives was working in that pleasure ground.


    There were signs all along, and she just had to pay attention.


    And even after she graduated from school, it was Burke who helped hernd a job.


    Every time he would tell her that he asked his friends or rtives for help, but now it turned out that the


    hotel was his family property, so he didn''t have to ask others for help at all. It was always his family who


    extended a helping hand.


    When Le got back home, she sneezed as she had caught a cold from getting wet in the rain just now.


    However, instead of avoiding falling sick, Le even had a cold bath. She was determined to employ


    the ruse of sickness to win Burke''s confidence the next day.


    At the same time, Madeline also took Burke home and took care of him with Pam''s help.


    Pam had moved abroad when she was just ten-year-old and they hadn''t met each other for over


    thirteen years. Since thest time he met her, she had grown from a little girl to an elegant and pretty


    girl. Burke, too evidently, grew from a wimpy kid to a handsome man.


    Looking at Burke who was lying on the bed lifelessly, Pam heaved a sigh.


    She felt overburdened with regret as she thought if she would havee back earlier, Burke would not


    be hurt like this. His eyebrows were knitted into a frown even as he was asleep which made Pam


    even more upset.


    Reaching out, she was about to ease his frown. However, as she touched his eyebrow, Burke held her


    hands tightly, and murmured,"Le, Le... Please don''t leave me alone. Why don''t you love me?"


    "Burke..." Upon hearing this, Pam felt ufortable in her heart. She had fallen in love with Burke


    and had never forgotten Burke in the past ten years. But now it turned out that he had already forgotten


    her. He loved another woman so deeply that he would even murmur her name in his sleep just begging


    for her love and attention.


    Pam was about to draw back her hands as she was not okay to be regarded as the other woman,


    who came after his great love, even if he did it unintentionally.


    Right that moment as she stood across Burke, she decided to win his heart back.


    "Let me go, Burke," Pam requested in a soft tone. She tried repeatedly to shake off his hand but


    failed again and over again since he held her so tightly. "Don''t leave me, please. I really love you so


    much. Le, give me another chance," murmured Burke with a chocking voice.


    After she heard this, Pam''s frustration and anger just built up more. She looked at Burke and


    decided to let him hold her hands. She was willing to do that for him if it could relieve him even a little


    bit. Thinking this, Pam sat down beside him.


    She stroked his hands gently and said in a soft tone,"Well, I won''t go anywhere and I will stay here with


    you always through thick and thin."


    After Burke heard this, his face almost lit up with a faint smile.


    Madeline, who was about to take a ss of hydromel for Burke, closed the door quietly when she

    happened to see the scene and she didn''t want to disturb them.


    Madeline knew Burke''s temperament very well. He would definitely be moved if he found that Pam


    had taken care of him the entire night.


    Or at the very least he would not antagonize Pam anymore. Perhaps he would be impressed by her


    kindness and would take an interest in her.


    "Why are you taking the hydromel back? He didn''t drink it?" Lucas Zhou was reading newspaper on the


    couch when Madeline went downstairs with the hydromel. Confused yet worried, he asked her.


    "He is not awake yet. It is also quitete now. Let''s have some rest." Madeline assured Lucas Zhou


    who looked concerned.


    Shocked by her words, Lucas Zhou paused for a few seconds before he said,"Are we going to take


    break now? Pam is taking care of Burke and do you really let her stay in his room alone at this


    hour? Both of them are not married yet and I am afraid that people will gossip about them in bad light."


    "Don''t worry about this. I will handle it myself," replied Madeline calmly. After a small pause, she


    continued,"We don''t have to worry about it since Pam does not mind devoting her attention on him


    at all. Moreover, I am sure you also know that what has been done cannot be undone. I really hope


    Pam will marry Burke someday. She is a kind and beautiful girl. I really want her to be my daughter-


    inw. Well, I remember that you also like her. Am I right?"


    "Yes, I do in fact appreciate this girl since she is sensible and beautiful. But what good will it do? The


    most important thing is that Burke needs to like her. Hasn''t he fallen in love with some another girl?" He


    remembered that Burke several days ago had said that he would take that girl back today, but why did


    he drink so much and get drunk instead?


    "Just don''t mention that please." Madeline furrowed her eyebrow as she recalled what happened today.


    "Your son misjudged a woman and it is really a pity for him. That woman is a materialistic girl and I


    really don''t understand why Burke loves her."


    Saying this, Madeline let out a sigh but then said,"Let''s go and have some rest. Don''t worry. Burke is


    totally drunk and he can do nothing to Pam." After finishing her sentence, she went upstairs with


    Lucas Zhou hand in hand.


    When Burke slept on both ears, Pam drew back her hands, washed his face and crouched up on


    the couch for the whole night.


    Burke felt a throbbing headache when he woke up the next day morning since he drank a lot. He was


    hungover. However, he was stunned when he found a woman sleeping on the couch. "Who are you?"


    he asked with great confusion. "Hey, why are you here? Who let you in?" Burke blurted out his


    confusion in one breath.
