Yeah, but the only thing we're shown while he says this is the first glimpse of Sheryl, and he's discussing what he did during the time he was fighting to protect Ranka.
And that damage to Frontier was all new - not something he was previously ignoring. He never ignored Frontier anyway - always did his duty.
The need to "pretend not to notice" in itself implies he loved Sheryl TOO (which gradually increased). If he didn't, then he would've just told her to buzz off right at the start, he wouldn't have needed to pretend. You only pretend to ignore someones advances when you actually really want them, but feel you can't have them for whatever reason (i.e. already feel committed to someone else)
