I think after 16 years of calling her his daughter and (apparently) caring for her as if she was - it's obvious that their relationship has now deterioated (the arrival of Karl?) but I'm assuming from the photos in his house that he really does care for her - so I think he feels that she is his, albeit adopted, daughter.

Then again, a part of me thinks it may be Ben playing mind games with Danielle, as Alex said in S3:

"You know he's manipulation you, right?"

"That's what my father does. He manipulates people. He makes you think it's your idea, but it's his"
