Magnar doesn't want his brother to have false hopes. Things would change if Luciana falls in love with Oscar. But would she? Can she? That's a million-dollar question. He maintained silence on this issue. He was not in a position to give advice or comment anything on this issue. He thought it was better to think about Helen, her anger, and their life rather than about Oscar. Call him coward, that's the best thing he could think of doing now. There was a saying if you can't do good, don't do bad, just do nothing. That's the best thing one could do.
