Contrary to what's said about her, Maleficent does know about love and kindness. She just... doesn't give them.
Until it's time to really twist the knife in someone. Then she greatly enjoys putting on the air of showing kindness or tenderness, just for the mockery of it. The sarcastic make-believe sweetness she can adopt as she's backhandedly insulting someone throwing salt in their wounds just makes her actions that much colder.
