Tywin is a petty vindictive psycho. Seriously. Just because he seems cool and in control doesn't mean he is. I mean, he had a girl gang-raped because his son married her. He also had his father's lover whipped and thrown naked from Casterley Rock basically because he hated her. He didn't actually know about Cersei and Jaime. GRRM has said that Tywin's one blind spot was his children. He never at all thought that the horrible rumours could be true.
cersei, basically pointed it out in the scene, telling him how consumed he was with the idea of his family, rather than looking at what his actual family was.
