He’s my father.
Did she get to know him? Did she acknowledge that he was, in fact, her father, but that didn’t change anything? Did she resolutely deny that he was, or just keep things as they were? Could she just go on ignoring him, knowing what she knew now?
She needed to get away. She needed space and time to herself, away from the mansion. Away from her newly discovered family. I want to go home. To Cap, and Howard... Someplace familiar. Where she could gather herself... figure things out.
“I... I need to think.” Wanda wasn’t sure if she was telling him, or simply telling herself. As she spoke she started for the mansion, forcing herself to move at somewhat leisurely pace. What she really wanted to do was run.

Wanda deserved to make her own decisions, to think as much as she needed to. He'd never begrudge her that - she was his daughter afterall, just as Lorna was, and although she needed his guidance quite a lot less than Lorna, she was no less deserving of his time or consideration.
He had no idea if this revelation would alter their rather caustic relationship, or thaw her out to him. But it didn't matter in the long run. It was how it was.
And then he resumed his afternoon jog. It was really as simple as that.
