He definitely knew/understood what was going down between them. They both knew there was something growing between the two of them since the day they kissed several days/weeks/before. The dialogue between them alluded to this change in their relationship and needing to be cautious about it. Adalind's confession is premature at this stage, we know she did it because she was afraid he might not come back from his trip to Germany and she wanted him to know exactly what she felt. Them sleeping together was inevitable since things appeared to be headed that way before Germany was a thing so no one was taking advantage of any one (I'd say that role belongs squarely to Renard).
My post was trying to explain the possible reason Nick didn't reciprocate her ILY, it was too soon and he needed to sort out everything he felt for Adalind since they had spent so much time as enemies, cue the morning after flashback and even then it didn't stop him cuddling with her afterwards. When Monroe, his best friend with whom he shared everything with asked him oint blank, that was a great opportunity to say no, but he did not. Confusion is probably not the right word for what I wanted to say, caution may be what I was aiming for. Outside of that relationship (and maybe Rosalee), Nick wasn't a great talker, he mostly kept things to himself until he absolutely had to. He did this for six whole seasons with his Grimm secret. I'm not surprised he'd be cautious with something so serious when it involves the Adalind. From the way it looked, it was easy for Adalind to fall for Nick, he'd shown her extreme kindness after everything they had been through, Nick just took the scenic route but he still got there in the end.
And another thing with Nick not being a big talker, his actions did the talking for him anyway, like after he found out her hexenbiest had returned. He stewed in his feelings for no longer than an episode before things between them returned to their new normal of being intimate with one another. Adalind wasn't even aware he knew the truth until she confessed it. After she left for the mansion under BC, he went all Grimm against Renard and several wesen to try and get her back. Another thing to remember, the time between Adalind leaving the loft and the first episode of S6 is very short. It could be a week or two for all we know, but Eve the "super" hexenbiest sensed Nick's love for Adalind All I can say is that there's nothing one sided about this. A rushed ILY and a delayed reciprocal didn't mean feelings between the both of them weren't actually there building up to something concrete.
