From the moment you joined the Shadow Company, Graves noticed that you tried to get close to him but he didn't think much about it. At first, he didn't seem to care about you. But as the bonds between you and him grew, he thought of you as someone he could trust. Before the betrayal happened, Graves intended to confess his feelings to you and ask you to be his lover. He was angry and disappointed when he realized what you did. But he still didn't want to see you cry because of him.
