章 29: Chapter 29: Baby

She tested the name a few times. Raj Akunyili. It didn't matter to her, so she agreed. She remembered a time when movie stars and singers named their children after countries and primary colors.

Bilal didn't understand why Carmella wanted his input in naming the child, but he was happy about it.

He had learned that she preferred eating in his presence, and he preferred it as well.
