He seems rational enough to know a daughter who hadn't bothered seeing or seeking out wouldn't have much love or attachment to him initially. Also consider that this is her third lifetime with this family. In her 2nd life, acc to her, she and her brothers were close enough to lay their lives for eo but she still has no bond with her father until he satrted teaching her in this one..

Oh, may be I failed to convey it, but I'm not saging he may not feel hurt. He most likely will, since he has finally opened up and gotten attached to his daughter now. He will feel hurt, but he is rational enough to not understand his daughter's pov. All she did till now to get close to her dad, is basically for her survival as a 3yo. No 3yo should have to do that to get their parent's protection and love.
I wonder how the dad will feel knowing mc considered her past life dad 2 be her true dad
