Probably not. The anger was past. He was resigned to it and there was little if any emotion at all.

But the fact that he acknowledged Fredo could still visit their mother, and that HE would be the one to leave during these visits, and that he ordered nothing happen while their mother was alive (probably all insisted upon by Puzo), indicates that it was a well thought out decision. No anger, no sadness...just what had to be done.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
