Oliver Bloom had been waiting for this chance all along.
When the time was right, he would tell Elise Don, "Actually, I am Nathan Perry's son. I didn't mention it before because I thought it wouldn't significantly affect our relationship."
Now, deciding to tell her, it was with the hope that this relationship could continue long-term, without reservation.
As a pragmatist, Oliver Bloom disliked meaningless consumption; he wanted a future.
If asked why he chose this timing, even Oliver was hesitant. Perhaps there might be better opportunities later, but the situation seemed to leave no room for delay.
Seeing that Elise Don was about to enter the board of Fenton, the marketplace's power play was approaching, and every connected event reminded Oliver Bloom: If his identity were to be exposed by someone with ulterior motives, what would Elise Don think?
Would she see him as not sincere enough?
Or perhaps even think the entire relationship wasn't sincere enough?
