Chapter 465 You Deserve A Better Girl


    "How long have you been awake?" Pam stayed uptest night to take care of Burke, so she still


    felt a little groggy when she woke up. She looked at Burke and was about to tell him her identity but


    was interrupted by Madeline. She opened the door abruptly and let out a scream as she saw Burke


    awake. "Thank God, you are up and about!"


    "Mom, you are just in time." Burke pulled Madeline''s hand and asked her with a sense of urgency,"Who


    is she? Why is she in my room? Could you please tell me what happenedst night?"


    "Don''t you remember her?" Madeline said in an interrogatory tone and added,"She is Pam He. Don''t


    you remember her? You yed together almost every day when you were kids."


    "Pam?" With his eyes wide open in shock, Burke turned around to look at her carefully. He couldn''t


    find any resemnce of her appearance as a child. "You have grown up now," Burke eximed.


    "Yes, I most certainly have." Pam said to Burke with a smile,"You have be quite a handsome


    man now."


    Burke grabbed Pam''s hand and looked at her carefully, then he said,"Wow, you too are a much


    more beautiful girl than before. I like what I am seeing."


    "OK, enough." Madeline used Burke,"Pam looked after you the entire night. Why don''t you thank


    her?"


    "Never mind, Auntie Madeline. There is no need for such formality," Pam said in a sweet tone.


    Burke''s face grew dull the second he heard what happened and in a serious tone he said to


    Madeline,"Mom, how could you let Pam look after me all by herself. It''s simply inappropriate for a


    girl to do such things."


    "It doesn''t matter, Burke." Then Pam lowered her head slightly and said to Burke in response,"I did


    thatst night only because I wanted to do and it had nothing to do with Auntie Madeline."


    "Okay, let''s head downstairs first. Burke, give Pam some room to wash up and ask her to eat


    breakfast with us after she is done cleaning herself," Madeline said to her son.


    After Madeline went downstairs, only Burke and Pam were left in the room. They felt a little awkward


    to stay alone with each other. They were very close when they were children, but now they hadn''t seen


    each other for so many years and they were not kids any more. And especially with howst night


    turned out, both of them felt a little weird in that moment.


    "So when did youe back?" Burke asked Pam to cut down the awkwardness.


    "Just yesterday actually." Pam smiled and said,"I came to see you right after I got off the airne.


    Auntie Madeline told me that you were going to propose to your girlfriend so I came there with her.


    However..."


    "Okay, enough I don''t need to hear more." Burke felt embarrassed as he recalled his experience from


    Burke then took out a new dress from his closet. It was thetest design from the current season,


    limited edition. He gave it to Pam and said,"I bought it for Le and nned to give it to her as a gift.


    But now... I don''t need it any more. You can wear it if you like. Thank you for what you did for mest


    night. I really appreciate it."


    Pam took the dress and said,"You''re wee. I''m going to clean up now."


    "Sure." Burke nodded in approval and sat on the bed, waiting for her. Upon hearing the trickling water


    from the bathroom, he was seized by a strange feeling suddenly.


    Burke found a new toothbrush and cup for Pam. When she finished, he began cleaning up. Pam


    had already put on the dress as he came out of the bathroom. Somehow, he almost mistook her for


    Le.


    "So how does it look?" Pam circled before Burke to show off the dress as she asked him.


    Burke came to himself finally and answered,"You look absolutely stunning."


    He cleared his throat and said to Pam,"Let''s head downstairs now and have breakfast."


    After getting along with Pam for one night, Burke had a strange feeling for her even though nothing


    happened between them yet.


    A big breakfast spread had been prepared for them as they got downstairs.


    Madeline grabbed Pam''s hand and said with a smile,"Darling, you are the most beautiful girl I have


    ever seen."


    "Auntie Madeline, are you kidding?" Pam responded with a hint of embarrassment in her voice.


    Madelineughed and said,"I prepared both local and western breakfast for you because I worried that


    you would not enjoy our local food after living in a foreign country for so long. Which breakfast do you


    prefer?"


    "Both seem good to me," Pam said tactfully to avoid disappointing her.


    Pam and Madeline spoke to each other happily while Burke remained silent like a stranger in his


    own house.


    As Burke finished breakfast, he said to Pam and his mother,"I''m full now. So I''ll get to work."


    "Hold on a moment." Madeline stopped Burke and said,"I want to say something to you."


    Then she said to Pam,"You can continue eating and I wille back after talking to Burke."


    "Okay, please do carry on." Pam nodded.


    Madeline dragged him to the study. Burke cast a glimpse at his mother and said,"Mom, I know what


    you are trying to do here, but I just broke up with Le and it''s unfair for Pam to start a rtionship


    so quickly when I am still picking up pieces from my breakup."


    "Shut up! I was not going to talk about this with you." Madeline said with a dull expression,"I want to


    talk the things about Le."


    "I have nothing to do with her now, so what do you want to talk about?" Burke got impatient the


    moment he heard Le''s name.


    "You are my son and I know you very well." Madeline added,"You can tell everyone that you have


    nothing to do with her, but I know if shees back to get reunited with you, you will agree


    immediately."


    Burke frowned without responding. He considered what he would do if Le really asked him to patch


    things up once again.


    Maybe he would say "yes" just like Madeline predicted.


    "Burke, I never opposed you dating Le. Otherwise I wouldn''t have allowed you to propose. But I saw


    her yesterday and realized something too. So I need to tell you what happened." Madeline said to


    Burke in a serious tone.


    "The first time I saw Le, she was Charles Lu'' secretary then. She was perched on top of an old man''s


    legs and flirted with him brazenly. She even allowed the man to feel her up and down all over her body


    publicly, just in order tond a contract with him. I felt so disgusted with her and the way she conducted


    herself." Burke was shocked. He frowned and said,"Mom, it''s impossible. Le is..."


    "Why does this seem so impossible?" Madeline interrupted him and blurted out in anger,"If you don''t


    believe what I witnessed, you can investigate yourself to check whether I lied or not."


    Burke fell silent. Le was always cold and indifferent with him and he believed that was her nature. He


    couldn''t imagine that Le would give up her virginity just for the sake of a business transaction. He


    couldn''t help but wonder whether he really knew her or not.


    "Whether you will be with Pam or not is secondary, but at least you know for sure that she is a good


    girl and her family''s stature can match to ours. She is much better than Le and that I can vouch for."


    Madeline sneered and said,"Le guessed that I''m your mother and pretended to get close with mest


    night, but she ran off immediately as I asked her for some money to clear your bill. You deserve a


    better girl rather than such a cunning one who will abandon you in your times of need."
