Nick is not callous nor duplicitous in his wants and needs. He's never said one thing when he wanted something else except under the influence of the Muse. I don't think so. Eve was a key member of the HW team. She knew where Nick lived and she knew Adalind lived there. She was down in the tunnels for days before Adalind and Diana brought her up and tended to her. While she was recovering, Nick was aware of her illness. I don't see how anything Nick could say would be considered flaunting his new life in her face when, for a time, she was part of his new life. It's not about Eve but Nick's own state of being. When Eve told Nick he loved Adalind, he was uncomfortable. She lived in the tunnels for days without his knowledge, when she was discovered Adalind spoke for her to remain with them, he was hesitant. There's a deleted scene that shows him asking how much longer she is stay with them, implying he preferred being without their guest. Monroe spoke carelessly about his relationship status when they were talking about the skull face in the mirror, he was visibly irritated with his friend. By the end, Eve had no more issues with Nick and Adalind together (though she did at the beginning when she threatened Adalind is S5 and was affected emotionally the night Adalind moved back at the loft and listened to Nick's confession of how difficult it was for him when Adalind was away which he didn't know abouy). In the alternate world, Eve had already made her peace but for most of the season, Nick had often paused around her when it came to Adalind except when under extreme duress where he would be free with his affection for Adalind in front of Eve, see the end of Monroe's bad birthday gift and the end of the show when time is reversed. I cannot see Nick telling Eve about his life with Adalind, why would he or should he? According to the show she already knew was privy to it every single day until she moved out. But Nick and he was under a lot of stress throughout the season, it would serve no purpose whatsoever to segue to how things are between him and Adalind. Nick followed after her because he he wanted to save her, purporting his many past failures leading up to that moment. I believe there's a difference between what we think he should have done and what the character would actually do based on past behaviours, wants and intentions, our expectations vs character traits. People have talked about expecting Nick and Juliette to work out and grow after she became a hexenbiest and i will admit to the same because i thought that's where the writers would take the story but it took a different path i didn't expect. Now when i look back at the show i see Nick and Juliette paths diverging literally from the first episode after his Aunt Marie's warning. Note I'm not saying i saw Nick and Adalind together, hardly ever! The writing simply stacked so much against Nick and Juliette as a couple that i see Nick ending up alone more likely than them making it after the crap Juliette went through and sacrificed for Nick. In the alternate world, he thought she was in danger because of him yet again and assumed she wanted nothing more to go back to a simpler time when SHE was happy, he's already living the life he's ever wanted, he's a grimm and has a family he comes home to and doesn't have to make a sacrifice to keep either one. Basically, he's happy and he feels she is not and is wondering if she has entertained remedying that.
