Oliver was aware of this shortcoming of his, which was why whenever he was with Fanny, he never wore his heart on his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stop embarrassing himself before her.

What if she didn’t like what she saw of him?

Thus, Oliver wanted to hide his emotions from her.

Yet now, he couldn’t help but expose his true feelings before her.

The moment he sensed his ears turning red, he pulled his hand back in embarrassment and fled to the washroom to hide his anxiety.

When he emerged from the washroom once more, he was still his usual polite and gentlemanly self. However, the words he said were cold as ice, breaking Fanny’s already broken heart even further.
