It's kind of hard to tell because we don't know the specifics of what he told her, if he gave her the lie Arima made him promise to tell or the truth. We know certain people in re seem to know what really happened like Yomo for example, but what you propose could very well be one reason why, though I think it's even more than that.

Her world been flipped on its head. After her talk w/ Touka and hug w/ Hinami and the children she's being forced to question everything she believed. She knows what she spent her life doing and what her parents died for may very well be in vain. She has the face the fact that her and her parents beliefs about the world are wrong when she's literally grown up believing all this stuff and tha's hard to do. Part of her still wants to believe what her parents told her was right, but people like Kaneki Touka, Hinami, and those kids are starting to make her think otherwise.

That and I'm not quite sure she exactly knows how to perceive Kaneki. When it comes down to it I'm sure she does still care for him, she's just confused, and hasn't really given herself a chance to understand Kaneki like she did for Haise. Though it is hinted that she was unsure about how she should feel about mentoring Haise in the epilogue of part one, she probably had her misgivings knowing he was a One-eyed ghoul and previously the eyepatch/centipede that did not have a very good record amoung the CCG, and was considered very dangerous. Also when she first encountered Kaneki w/ Amon he was in centipede mode and almost ate Shinohara. Sure, Amon snapped him out of it and Kaneki was repentive, but it still doesn't leave a great impression.

However, after spending time w/ Haise, she grew very fond of him. He grew on her. I think the same thing could happen bewteen her and Kaneki if she does end up being foreced to stay w/ Goat. She could end up caring about him as much as if he were still Haise. Again not saying she doesn't care now, but she does to an extent look at Ken and Haise seperately since she believes he was only Haise in the past and that Haise is a part of him that she was fond of. Doesn't mean in the future she won't end up accepting all of Ken as a whole, not just a piece of him.
