Lord Allendale chooses to pretend that it's some random woman his wife took a shining to, I think, probably until he realizes that the little girl looks quite a bit like a baby Laurence. Men of that age did NOT hold babies, not in high-class homes like that, but I think he would sit with her sometimes and give her little gifts.
Besides, you'd need to be a monster to not succumb to Laurence radiating Dutiful Misery. Seriously. It's an art form with him.
