"Aske, you really are heartless," she said.
"Did you really have to wait until everyone had fallen for you, then act like a haughty merchant, selecting your favorite girl from among us like merchandise?"

Alas, this was not his intention at all. Aske would even swear to God that he never had any thoughts of 'waiting for the highest bidder' or 'cultivating a string of backups,' but he just couldn't explain it to Miel.
He could only let time prove it all.
