He in no way trust but she is disadvantaged so he has no need to worry. Let her start going out and meeting people his attitude will change.

You forget who Adalind is and how she knows to survive. Adalind is being seductive because that is who she is. At the core she is a con artist and that is all she knows how to be. She is trying to play it  straight but she will never truly trust anyone. Right now she needs Nick and needs him to not give her a hard time.

You notice when some one does something nice she has no idea how to accept it. Like when she saw all the work Monroee and Rosale  did on the house, she was awkward saying thanks. Even when Nick told her to go buy clothes, see did not want to owe Nick anything. A guy offering something with no strings attached is foriegn to her.

In four seasons you have never seen anyone say a kind word to her of do something for her just because. You also have to remember Nick knows she is a good actor. She was able to act just like Juliette. The potent only changed the looks, she had to pull off the personallity. It will be a while before NIck is not wondering if Adalind is up to something. I find it funny everyone is worried if Nick is going to be there for Kelly, my question is will Adalind stick around with Kelly if a better offer comes along. Take meisner would she switch from Nick to Miesner.

But the big problem Adalind can only stay good if she is no longer dealing with the forces that drove her. That will be hard since Nick bieng a Grimm everyday is dealing with the exact same forces that drove ADalind to being decietful. It is like an alcoholic living in a bar.

Lets start with the danger. Staying with Nick see better get her powers back. If not she will find herself a hostage by those looking forf Nick.

While I remember she has a history of being seductive for manipulative purposes, I don't think that's the case right now. I am not one of the fans who mop up every Nick & Adalind scene and yell "OTP!"... I don't really support it and I liked Juliette better to be honest. But their relationship is definitely changing. For every terrible thing Adalind's done, she had a pretty rough start in the world. Losing her father at 4 years old I assume she didn't have any male role model. I don't think she's used to guys doing nice things for her while expecting nothing in return. As you said, it's a new road for her. So yeah, I think she's definitely starting to grow an attraction towards Nick... subtle though it may be.

Nick, on the other hand, is grieving the loss of his girlfriend and his mother. He's a long road from romance. I think he just wants comfort. I don't think he's attracted to Adalind much, but rather kind of confused and conflicted.

Nick isn't just the guy to lose his bride-to-be and just say "To hell with it, moving on!"
