Chapter 260
Just as she was thinking of how to bluff her way out of it, she
frowned.
“Wait a minute, shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?
Why were you in Professor Shaw’s room last night?”
Rebecca couldn’t keep a straight face.
She looked away, avoiding Madeleine’s gaze.
“Last night… um… I just went over to talk to him for a bit.”
“For the whole night?
!”
“Oh, not exactly.”
Madeleine followed Rebecca’s gaze, squirming around, trying to read something in her eyes.
She narrowed her eyes, “Rebecca, don’t forget we have a best friends forever pact. No secrets allowed, okay?”

Being stared at like that by Madeleine made Rebecca a little
uncomfortable.
She threw up her hands in resignation and went to sit on the
sofa.
“It’s what you think it is. What do you want to know, the specific
details?”
“Oh, am I allowed to know that?”
“What are you thinking!”
Rebecca shot her a glare.
You’re a mother already, and still so improper.
After saying that, her cheeks flushed again, and she mumbled,
“We didn’t go that far.”
“What?”
She spoke so softly that Madeleine thought she’d misheard.
She walked over and sat next to Rebecca, putting on an
expression of concern for her bestie’s happiness.
“No way. Even though we always called him an old fossil,
Chapter 260
Professor Shaw isn’t that old, is he? How could he be… uh…”
How could he not be able to perform?
Madeleine was too embarrassed to say the rest.
But Rebecca understood instantly, staring at Madeleine with
wide, speechless eyes.
She really wanted to crack open her head and see what kind of
stuff was inside.
“What nonsense are you thinking? It’s not a physical problem,
it’s just… ahem, we didn’t have that.”
That?
Which that.
Madeleine blinked a couple of times, and it took her a good
moment to realize.
Oh, the no–baby bag.
Madeleine slapped her thigh in urgency, “You should’ve said so
earlier! I have some.”
Rebecca: …

“So, are you two together now?”
“Uh, well, how should I put this.”
Rebecca considered for a moment, then told Madeleine about
her conversation with Adrian last night.
Madeleine was dumbfounded after hearing it.
“Rebecca, I’ve seen a lot of female players, but you’re the first
one I’ve seen who’s so blatantly one.”
“A player?”
Rebecca didn’t think so.
“A one–month trial period is good for me and for him. How is that being a player?”
Madeleine thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, “Feelings and business are different. You can’t measure them with simple pros and cons.”
Rebecca didn’t reply, listening intently.
“This one–month trial period you proposed, it seems fair, but it’s really just an excuse to delay your true feelings. The fact that someone like Professor Shaw would agree to that is enough to
Chapter 260
show how he feels about you.”
Rebecca was taken aback.
Madeleine’s words were a perspective she had never
considered.
“I know what you’re afraid of. You’re afraid of investing too
much and getting nothing back, afraid you two are just a whim,
afraid this relationship won’t go anywhere. But Rebecca, love is
always a risk.”
Madeleine said with a smile, “You can calculate profit and loss
in business, but how do you calculate it with feelings?”
Rebecca wanted to argue, but she found that everything
Madeleine said made sense.
She was just trying to find a safe approach, but it seemed she
had only made things more complicated.
“Rebecca, you can’t handle feelings the same way you handle
everything else. Sometimes, you have to ask your heart.”
After a long moment, Rebecca nodded.
“Okay.”
