GRENADE

Kylian had paid the restaurant bill, and Camélia didn't feel very comfortable having wanted to pay her own share, but the young Frenchman had insisted, so she allowed herself to be persuaded. The two of them left together as discreetly as possible and returned to his car.

"I thought that for the visit to the stadium we could do that with Achille ?" Kylian said.

The special attention he paid to his son touched her enormously; never apart from his friends had he invested so much in including Achille. kylian had been interested in him from the start and this really warmed the young mother's heart.

"that's lovely, thank you, I really appreciate the fact that you're so interested in him, it means a lot to me".

this time it was kylian's turn to have red cheeks, which did not escape the eyes of the young woman who hid her smile with her hand.

"It's normal", he said, scratching his head and not knowing what else to do.

"So what do you have planned for us to do ?" she asked.

"we can take a walk along the Seine if you like".

"with great pleasure" she replied

Just as Eduardo had finished preparing food for himself and his new companion, Achille, the little boy who had set the table - as best he could - sat down next to the French footballer, who served him coquillettes (French pasta**).

"bon appétit"

"bon appétit" repeated the little boy, imitating him, which made him laugh.

While Sponge Bob was being shown on TV, Eduardo was concentrating on the cartoon while the little boy's mind was elsewhere. He stared at his plate of pasta before taking a spoonful.

"it's good" the little boy said by slowly eating his pasta

"is it ?"

achille nodded and eduardo smiled with satisfaction before stroking his head.

"edu ?" the little boy called to him.

"do you want me to put on another cartoon ?" he asked even if he regretted it because he was beginning to like the episode they were watching.

"no, it's not that, but do you think that... mum is going to have children with kylian ?"

eduardo almost choked on his pasta

"What makes you say that ? And first of all, do you know how children are made ?"

"it's when two grown-ups love each other very much, and mum seems to really like mr mbappé".

The Real Madrid footballer breathed a sigh of relief. Because he certainly wasn't ready to tell a story about human reproduction. he certainly didn't sign up for it. But he was also intrigued by what Achille had just told him.

"do you think your mum likes kylian a lot ?"

"yes, because every time she talks to him she smiles".

"but that doesn't mean anything, you know, when she talks to me she smiles too"

"yes but less" he replied which made eduardo laugh out loud

"All right, all right, well... I think you're right, Kylian and your mum seem to like each other a lot, but I don't know about making other brothers and sisters out of you".

"but imagine, if they did, Mum wouldn't want me any more"

"wsh but what makes you say that ?" asked eduardo bringing out his french side suddenly worried by what the boy had just said

"because if she has a child with him, well, he'll have a dad, but I don't have a dad, so it's easier to abandon me than the baby" Achille said as he ate his pasta, which saddened Eduardo.

"hey buddy... listen to me, cam-i mean your mum, will never abandon you, never ever, I promise you that and she can swear it, you're her whole life, you're her universe, it's impossible for her to abandon you."

"Are you sure ?"

"Believe me, and I can assure you that Kylian loves you very much too, so if the two of them ever go further together, he'll be happy to love you like a daddy."

achille smiled before taking refuge in his arms, eduardo stroked his head gently before hugging him tightly.

"Does that mean he'll be my new daddy ?"

"That's not for me to decide, that's for your mum to decide, why would you like that ?"

"I don't know, suppose he wants to steal Mum because he loves her too much, what would I do ?" he said, which made Eduardo smile.

"I can't guarantee that, but in any case the two of them will never leave you aside, don't worry and I'll always be there to look after you".

"it's not so bad after all" achille finally said since he was very fond of eduardo, which made him laugh
