Lilia said, "Don't go, let him be alone for a while."
The Vice President and Lilia were both very busy, always feeling they neglected their son terribly. They married young and planned to focus on their careers for over a decade, intending to have children in their thirties. When Jack was born, Chloe nudged them, saying she was busy too but could manage the child since he was easy to care for. By having children early, they could finish this task sooner. The couple was young and vibrant, often not using precautions, which led to having Wesley. After Wesley was born, Lilia spent two years as a diplomat in Canada, while the Vice President worked in Washington. Wesley was mostly raised by the security officers and guards; the Vice President's team consisted almost entirely of men, who had their shortcomings in childcare.
