The flash of bravado or confidence, whatever it was, that Han felt burning in him like the plasma of a star was gone the moment Kylo Ren brought up General Organa. From their son's point of view that seems like a win for the Resistance. It does take one of the First Order's most powerful figures out of their equation - so in that respect, perhaps it is - but that wasn't what Leia asked him to do. She had said "bring him home."

Home was not flying off to who knew where. Bringing him back was not telling his wife their son was dead when he wasn't. It feels like a hollow victory, at best, to the elder Solo.

If he even could even do such a thing convincingly. His ability to pull off a con, once there wasn't someone around to hold him hold him accountable for his failures, was always hit and miss. And lying to Leia he was never especially good at. He has no idea how to even begin to approach that.

"What about Chewie?"
