You are not giving him money. You are returning a loan. It's not a gift; it's repayment of a loan and you are obligated to pay him back.
You are NOT obligated to GIVE him any money after that, so don't.
Pay him what you owe, and then you're done, right? What he does with it is his choice. It's his money anyway.
