That's the scene that sums up their relationship. Fredo looks at Vito and can't even come up with anything to say.
Vito looks at Fredo and - just for a brief second - kind of rolls his eyes in resignation. Kind of like, "Oh, it's hopeless."
Fredo knows he has disappointed Vito, and Vito knows Fredo is always going to be weak and vulnerable himself, and it will probably cost him his life.
