Chapter 10

It was close to ten in the evening by the time they arrived back home, and Logan took hold of Liam before helping her out of the limousine. After, she insisted on carrying the toddler again, and the billionaire had to satisfy himself with an arm curled possessively around her waist.

Anyone seeing them would've been forgiven for thinking they were a young couple with their firstborn rather than the nanny with her young charge and handsome boss, and it was exactly the case when they found a visibly-confused Billie seated at the top of the stairs.

"Billie!" Tilly tried not to look guilty even as she self-consciously moved away from the billionaire. "Why are you still up?"

"I was waiting for you."

"But I specifically told you not to---"

The younger girl only shrugged, her curious gaze still on Logan. "Are you dating my sister?"

Tilly choked. "Billie, what on earth---"

"Yes, I am."

Her gaze flew to the billionaire in shock. What about the timeline? Weren't they supposed to stick to their timeline?

"But you've only just met her," the girl pointed out suspiciously.

"Things like this happen lightning-fast sometimes."

Billie wrinkled her nose. "You mean like love?"

"Oh my God, Billie---" Tilly could've died of embarrassment with the way her sister was keeping the billionaire in the hot seat. "You don't have to answer that, Mr. Hardwall---"

"I don't see why I shouldn't," Logan said easily.

"You don't?"

But the billionaire's attention had already switched back to Billie.

"It's not always love right away," Logan was saying carefully, "but I do care for your sister a lot, and I'd like to continue seeing her. It would make me very happy if you and Tilly become a part of my life - if you don't have any objections, that is?"

A thoughtful expression crossed the girl's face. "Well...I'd be stupid if I did, right? I mean, your house is much bigger than my school."

Logan nearly smiled.

"You have more cars than we have shoes, too."

What a mercenary little thing, the billionaire thought, but somehow he found himself more amused than offended, probably because the child was so being earnestly honest with the whole thing.

"And you're not all wrinkly like Mr. Hodge---"

"Mary Billie Jean!"

Seeing Tilly look like she was about to murder her on the spot right now, Billie realized it was time to go and said hurriedly, "It was nice talking to you, Mr. Hardwall. I've always wanted a big brother like you---"

"Oh, for the love of---" Scheming little brat! The girl was actually playing the long game, making sure that the billionaire would know he'd end up breaking more than one heart if he ever stopped dating Tilly.

"But I should really go now," Billie finished. "I still have school tomorrow. Night, Mr. Hardwall. Night, Tilly!" She studiously avoided her sister's gaze as she turned away and dashed back to her room.

As soon as the younger girl was out of their view, Logan and Tilly turned to each other, speaking at the same time.

"I'm so sorry---"

"I like your sister."

Tilly's mouth opened and closed.

"She's smart for her age," Logan commented.
