What if Dante is Ruthven's son?

I know this sounds crazy and it couldn't be possible but I couldn't sleep thinking about it.
(I apologize if I don't remember the events of the manga very well)
I also posted this on Twitter link

They both have the same facial structure, something that becomes even more obvious when looking Ruthven when he was younger. We can see that his chin is straight and his facial features aren't particularly delicate, giving him a slightly rounder appearance.
Eyebrows and forehead, Both have thick, well-defined eyebrows, which noticeably enhance their facial expressions and accentuate their broad foreheads. Their noses are also shaped similarly.
They both have wavy hair and are very similar in terms of hair color, Also, the color of their eyes is slightly different this could be due to Dante's mother. Their physical appearance is very similar, although Dante looked different when he was younger. But this is understandable, since, as mentioned in the previous chapter, he could only earn income through occasional jobs to support his family. What made me think about this was that when Ruthven saw Dante, his reaction was one of disgust This could be because he is a Dhampir.
But I interpreted it differently, it seemed to me that he was worried, or as if something seemed familiar to him. Ruthven didn't say much, probably because he was analyzing the situation between Machina and Dante.
It's possible that Machina has more influence, or perhaps Ruthven didn't speak up because he assumed he knew what Dante wanted, thus indirectly protecting him.
What also made me think this way was the reason why Dante knowledge and education.
Could it have been the mother's decision? I don't think so, but social pressures could also have been a factor in the abandonment. The father wasn't mentioned, but what if he indirectly influenced Dante's education? Ruthven was a teacher perhaps he used to send him books.
