Cet après-midi, j’ai reçu un coup de téléphone de Caroline. Les filles dormaient. — Je voulais te dire que Shenglu est chez nous ; Lisa l’a oublié hier soir. — Ah, d’accord. Je ne crois pas qu’elle s’en soit aperçue. Elle ne l’a pas encore réclamé. — Je pense que ça va être un peu tendu demain lorsque Lisa viendra à la maison. — Ah bon. Pourquoi ? — Clara ne lâche pas Shenglu. Pourtant, nous avons beaucoup de poupons à la maison. Mais, je ne sais pas, il y a un truc avec Shenglu. Elle l’emmène partout, elle lui fait des câlins, elle lui parle. Il mange même à côté d’elle. — Ah, peut-être qu’elle en prend soin pendant que sa mère n’est pas là. — Hum, je ne suis pas sûre qu’elle le fasse dans cet esprit. — Sacré Shenglu ! Il a deux mères qui se le disputent ! Euh, trois mères, car au départ c’est le bébé de Felicia. Heureusement que Felicia est cool. — Mais, ça vient d’où ce nom ? — Je ne sais pas. Un jour quelqu’un a demandé à Felicia comment s’appelait son bébé et elle a répondu « Shenglu ». C’était tellement bizarre comme nom que c’est resté. Au fait, il faut que je te rende ton moule. Mais j’ai peur que ça soit un peu tendu... — Pourquoi ? C’est devenu ton fils adoptif ? — Comment as-tu deviné ?
