The Billionaire's Nanny. Melissa McCloneЧитать онлайн книгу.
and swing to see how high we could go. We also jumped off the seat to see if we could clear the porch rail and bushes.”
She leaned over the rail as if estimating the distance down to the lawn. “Sounds dangerous.”
He bit back a laugh. “You sound like a nanny.”
“Occupational hazard.” Her amused gaze met his. “But you can’t tell me no one got hurt.”
He pointed under his chin. “I have a scar to show for the fun we had. My youngest brother, Grady, has two.”
“Your poor grandmother.”
“She didn’t mind. Now our mom—”
The front door opened.
“You’re here.” His grandma stood in the doorway. She wore a pair of light blue pants and a white peasant blouse. All five feet of short gray curls and sharp blue eyes barreled toward him like a stampeding water buffalo, albeit a baby one. “You’re finally home.”
Not his home. He lived in Seattle. But the excitement in her voice reminded AJ that this visit wasn’t about him.
AJ hugged his grandmother. Her rose-scented perfume smelled sweeter than when she’d visited him in Seattle. “It’s not like you gave me a choice, Grandma.”
She tsked, stepped back and assessed him from head to toe. “I like the long hair, but you need the ends trimmed. Go visit Monty at the barbershop. He’ll fix you right up.”
AJ shook his head. “Nice to see you, too, Grandma.”
Emma laughed under her breath.
“Grandmother.” He motioned to his new assistant, who stood with a patient smile on her face and her arm half-extended toward his grandmother. “I’d like you to meet—”
“Is he here?” A high-pitched female voice called from inside the house. “Grandmother Cole? Is he?”
“AJ is here.” Grandma leaned closer, lowering her voice. “Risa has been waiting for you to arrive all morning. Her youngest sister is here, too. And she can’t wait to meet the illustrious and incredibly wealthy AJ Cole.”
Danger-up-ahead infused his grandmother’s tone. His gut clenched. He’d heard about his sister-in-law’s matchmaking from his sister Bailey. Two brothers and his youngest sister, Camden, had been targeted over the holidays last year, making Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners uncomfortable. “I thought her sister lived far away.”
“Hawaii,” Grandma said. “But I suppose meeting a billionaire was worth the expense of a trip to the mainland.”
Crap. AJ blew out a puff of air. Matchmaking friends and relatives were as bad as a case of chicken pox. Enough women wanted a piece of his bank account. He didn’t need an in-law giving one of her sisters a push or inside access to him. On a rare vacation. That he already dreaded. This was not-not-not going to happen.
