Glancing up at Raymond, Jasmine inquired, "Dad, is everything alright? Aren't you eager to see the gift I've prepared for my nephew?"
Spotting the sizable box nearby, Asher's eyes lit up with excitement. Without hesitation, he dashed over and eagerly opened the box. "I want this gift!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm.
As the box popped open, it revealed a large, meticulously crafted cake that resembled a work of art.
The guests were captivated, some even reaching for their phones to capture the moment.
As Raymond's eyes fell upon the cake, a sigh of relief escaped him. With a complex expression, he addressed Jasmine, "I hadn't anticipated you arranging such an elaborate surprise."
Aware of Alison's desire for divorce and assuming that Jasmine wouldn't accept Asher, Raymond had prepared himself for an imminent separation.
However, Jasmine's unexpected gesture left him pondering—could this be a sign of a potential reconciliation?
Meanwhile, Luna's apprehension only grew deeper as she laid eyes on the cake.
Moments ago, she had been nervous about what the box might contain, fearing it could hold something harmful. However, to her surprise, it was just a cake.
But what had prompted Jasmine to suddenly act so kindly, sending over a cake and addressing Asher as her "nephew" so casually?
With Asher beside her, Jasmine lit the candles and spoke to him, "Asher, you're now a part of the Shelbert family. Everything in our home is now yours. Your life will be different from this day forward. Please, make a wish."
A smile appeared on Raymond's face as he stood next to Jasmine, visibly relieved.
In a hushed tone, he said to her, "If you can find it in yourself to accept everything, it would be the best possible outcome."
"This is a lesson you've taught me, and though I didn't fully grasp it before, I understand it now."
Raymond was surprised by Jasmine's maturity. "That's wonderful, Jazzy. You've truly exceeded my expectations."
Turning to Luna beside her, Jasmine teased, "Isn't that right, Luna? We're family now."
Luna's expression turned pale within moments, staring at Jasmine in disbelief.
She never anticipated Jasmine could be so adaptable, embracing Asher's presence and even convincing her maternal grandparents, Ernest Moore, and Irene Calahan, to do the same.
This new development was indeed a troubling twist for Luna.

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
