Why would a guy keep a woman's number that he cheated with? If he doesn't want to see her again?

This guy and I had sex in 2019 while he's been in a relationship. Afterwards he said he didn't think it was a good idea for us to see each other again. A year later in 2020 he messaged me out of the blue. Saying that his girlfriend was leaving him in six months. And that he really hoped to see me again after she leaves. I told him I was surprised that he wanted to see me again. Since he said he didn't want to he said he didn't want to cheat. So since she's leaving he doesn't have to. I told him that I wanted to see him again. I didn't actually meet him though because I didn't believe she was actually leaving. So fast forward to now six months ago I asked him if I could see him again. He told me he would love to but that he didn't think it was a good idea because he is trying to be a good boy. So I decided to move on and I started talking to his coworker Not in a romantic way. When he saw me talking to his coworker he came over to where we were and started talking. He overheard his coworker telling me he had went somewhere. And he came over stood in between us and said how was it.

I asked him if he still had my number and he nodded his head yes.
